Young mans fancy turns to love h should have added that in the Spring a girl becomes frivolous budding tons on May 1 moved into one of a Block of houses Frontin on a Small Park Grace Buddington watched from a second Story fron window the delicate Spring leaves com out on the Trees under the warm Sun Shine whether her heart budded a the same time is not known but a incident occurred that burst a Blossom of mischief into a full blown Flower Grace had caught a glimpse of a Young Man who lived next door h was Nineteen or Twenty while she was seventeen and a half being very particular that the half should be put on when her age was mentioned the fac of this gentleman who was very Good looking who wore Buff gaiters Over his boots whose clothes were Cut by the Corre test pattern and whose White cuffs always protruded exactly two inches below his say the fact of his being a nest door neighbor excited a profound interest in the Young Ladys heart they were to live no one knew How Long Side by Side they might become bosom friends pos Sibly like brother and sister possibly lovers this May be is decidedly pleasanter to contemplate than migh have the first is the Bud the last the decaying Flower of blessed age when there Are Nomad memories nevertheless youth is Peculiar one would suppose that harbouring such Rainbow fancies mis Buddington would act in a Way calculated to bring them about that she would look for Ward to a conventional meeting will her neighbor which would grow into friendliness and from friendliness expand in some one of the channels that had been dug for it he imagination she did the very opposite while she was watching the nurses in the Park halting their baby carriages for a Brief bit of Chat the Fountain sparkle in the Sun while she listened to the chirp of Birds and a Distant confused noise of Many vehicles on a Street beyond the door of the nest House opened and the Young gentleman of whom she was dream ing came out on the stoop his boots a Stickpin in his neckwear and his silk hat All glistened in the Sun he stood swinging his Cane in his band looking out on the pleasant scene be fore him evidently very Well satisfied with himself then noticing that not quite enough of his cuffs showed be Low his sleeves be adjusted first one and then the other but in doing so he noticed a spot on his right cuff and talking out a snowy Cambric hand kerchief endeavoured to obliterate it during All this time miss budding ton was watching him from the win Dow some dozen feet above him and two or three feet to one Side while to was endeavouring to remove the spot from his cuff she disappeared for a few moments and when she re turned held in her hand a Pitcher of water extending her Arm she held the Over the reflected Streak of sunlight crossing the top of his silk hat but she refrained whether this was on account of pangs of conscience or a desire to enjoy the situation by prolonging the Climax or from a dread of making an enemy instead of a Friend of her immaculate neighbor there is no record the sensation was certainly delicious but the most delicately Flavoured wine must be Swal Lowed at last and presently tipping the Pitcher she poured a Stream Down on her unsuspecting neighbor when or was the Young mans name t Pemberton tip the water resounding As on a drumhead upon the top of his hat and splattering Fountain like All him his first impulse was to stand from under Tho second to look up to see whence it came he was too late to see More than the Pitcher and a shapely wrist disappearing within the window but he had before

Homes were Sloby Side or rather there was but one stoop with a Stone division at first or tippler wished to meet miss Buddington at the Bottom of the Steps that he might show his supreme a difference to her by turning his Back upon her then he was afraid he would meet her he took out his hand kerchief and blew his nose he car ried a silk umbrella in his hand and while trying to walk with dignity trip led on it his hat fell in front of him and he stepped on it Grace budding Ion who at that moment turned to Steps giggled or tippler was boiling with rage after that whenever or tippler caught sight of miss Buddington approaching him he made a strenuous Effort to appear unconcerned the Way he did it was first to pull Down his cuffs next he would adjust his neck Wear after that his handkerchief came he blew Bis nose finally when he passed her his face would be As red As a Turkey cock As for miss Buddington when she saw or tippler coming she would proceed on her Way with the utmost composure on passing the gentleman the Only sign of embarrassment she showed was putting her Palm to her Back half but this should not be counted As embarrassment for All women do that meanwhile the courtship was pro Gressing finely when or tippler went into the Back Yard he would seize the limb of a tree and pull him self up by his Aims to show his strength to the girl next door who he Felt sure was peeping through the blinds at him then he would loll on a wooden Bench taking care to assume a Graceful position All the while he was waiting for an Opportunity to show his contempt for the girl for whose Benefit he was posing finally came his Chance for revenge one Day when he was showing off in the Back Yard while his Back was to the houses he heard something lightly strike the ground behind him turning he saw a Little Posy looking up at the next door windows he saw no one but he knew and where was revenge he was supremely Happy Why not because he might throw Back this Little Token instead of doing so he put it in his buttonhole and looked up at half a dozen windows from one of which he was sure the Posy had been tossed his face wove a smile which he in tended for an appreciative and tender one but intended smiles Are always like those people put on to be photo graphed stereotyped nevertheless it was seen and appreciated by Grace Buddington who had thrown

Young Man suffer and then Given him a sop the Young lady proceeded to the next step common usage would have suggested an open acquaintance but miss Bud Diu Tou As Lias been observed was not prone to
