Tlio ennoe rlttb wns to give u reception nnd review (if the lmnts. I5y telegram mid letter I luul Ixt'it Mitmnoned to .Mount l)e.-ert to take part in the Milemn rites of the occasion. The telegram was from the tidmiral, ainiouii'-itig that 1 lmd been elected n member and must show up. Now, 1 had never even heard there was fch a chili in existence, and probably few men are more childlike in their ignorance of tho paddle. Tho letter was from ii young lady I knew well, whose name. 1 had been pained to see mentioned in n newspaper as the "Ilelle of liar Harbor." If there is a being I loathe it is a belle. What rudeness have 1 not suffered from tho jKjrt, intolerable little girls vhoe heads have been turned by that word! "What inanities have 1 not been forced to Bifiile at because long hair and a pretty jio.-e or a trunk full of Worth dresses or a claqtm of female relatives, have started the fashion of calling anVtherwiso harm less young woman a belle! 1 knew this belle before, however, and never found her dull. She was a speci men of the rich complexioned women of Mobile, languid on the surface but full of energy when aroused. Alter all, said 1 to myself, as 1 weighed her letter in my hand, she has done nothing to warrant tho vulgar appellation, that I'll be bound; only, no matter how it maybe hidden, tho Mobile rou cannot stillo its perfume. She has been dubbed a belle in spito of herself. Then, looking at the warm words and the imperative orders that were couched in lier peculiar long slanting characters, 1 felt it would not be in human nature to disobey. Bar Harbor was just the snmp a na ture beautiful, solemn and marvelous in the act of being cheapened and degraded by a mob of lownlings. The buckboards were toiling up the steep hills, yachts were coming and going in the harbor, all tho Fophomores from college in Xortli America were escorting misses and missuses up and down the board walks or talking nonsense in groups on the broad piazzas of the most hideous of hotels. .Surveying these with tho jaundiced eyes of one who could not join in tho game t-ave for the briefest time, one nioro or less in love, I may as well confess, but wIki I. !- far too much to trust greatly to enco. 4-; .Linenls that ought to have meant evei; ...ing, I was awaro of Iditaat the top of a long lliglit of steps talking to three boys and a man and managing to halloo to a fourth, who was hurrying down the street. It looked very much like a belle. I thought, but, sighing, I raised a sad hand of greeting all the fame. Idila saw me, nud, like Camilla, tkimmed downward over the unbending Heps as if bins meant to lliug herself into my ann-i. "Giad, so glad you're here!" she panted. "Almost gaw you up. Those three won't believe I'm engaged lor the canoo review, and that man you passed lias gone to pre pare his boat tor me. tjo you eo you are just in time." "Ilut," said I, "it strikes me that I find yon a belle' and a bad case of belle." "Xo more nonsense! Your canoe, our canoe, is ail prepared and I have only half an hour to dress." It was 10 in tho morning, and I sur veyed her pretty costume with raised brows, 'Oh, this won't do. Xow, don't be silly. Get into your rowing llauncls and meet mo just here!-' And away Bho Hew into the hotel witli nu audacious word or two right and left at her boyish admirers. Among then was ono who lookeil very liard at me, 1 thought, and I puzzled my brains to recall him. A very blonde head, blue eyes, a look of u much older man when you examined him, thin legs, well developed shoulders, a chin in tho air and tho back of t it bead considerably behind Ids heels there ho is, tv funny mixture of strut and deprecation, of candor and in sincerity. Hut hh glance was sincere, if I knew anything sincere in not liking me. Why not me.y Of co!'.r.-.o, tho obvious thing was that ho was in love with Idita. Hut, I grumbled to m&elf, how is it that Idita, who is nice enough to warrant mo in well, in being very much attached to her, can support about her such wretched little idiots as thisv That was what I could not understand, ami yave tho question up as insoluble. Walking to tho meet I ventured to put it to Idita as gently as possible, nt tho samo time that 1 bogged that slio would be equally i-nndid. Sho certainly looked jnnrvehmsly beautiful in tho little Tain o' Shunter, with t.uscl of yellow silk, and tho white llauuel drew embroidered in the same manner. Tho coquette! Sho had tho prettiest yellow Cbinei.o clogs on her feet, and did not mind u bit rolling about a littlo on their binall, rounded holes. "Fact is, my dear boy, at n place liko Bar Harbor it positively won't do for a girl to bo been without somebody talking to her. Tho mothers keep count and tell each other whether Kitty, Lucy, Maria has three men witli her or one, or none; find bomehow the consoling words ad dressed to tho mother whoso daughter is neen alone do not carry with them tho comforts of C'lirist fun consolation. Xow, that young man of whom you speak so dlsreswctfiilly is full of merit. Ho is r-r-r-r-ricch, to liegin with, and sends me lovely flowers. Then ho knows every body. Then ho has u tongue tipped with poison, and everybody fears it. Besides, ho is a man of infinite tasto ho admires mo!" "More than ho does me," said I. "You don't say so!" cried Idita, whoso animation at Bar llurlwr camo to ino as a mirpriMs, for in town sho was rather lan guid. I. attributed it to tho bracing climate. "Does it work already? Xow, isn't that nice of him to come to time at once?" "Seo here," said I, n littlo savagely, and stopped to face her, "have you Mimmoned mo to this gooiu farm to play mo off ugalnst that little gander?" "Oh, you suspicion boy!" sho answered, holding out her hand. "Thore, I forgiv. you; kittH it nud return to your oollnr. l'or you A', remember, no lea my aUve lwro than you were Ut winter in town, and what I ef must be don. Hoar, oboy, und It will bo well for you." "Pctwwl How lone are you doing to l:ae thU up Am I to m nttythiKg of you, or uro Utu Tommy Mooroe und otW things fo!ng to surround you in order that i yo.:.- mother shall le snaicd the remarks of her elderly lr. v'.--"' Id.to- walked on faster nud threw iuo her words over her shoulder. "Oh, you needn't lother about me after to-dny, if you don't want to. 1 diu refiuo all engagements for the next few days, but a belle, you know or perhaps you don't like the word? well, n girl with n fair circle of acquaintance Will be able to get along all the same.-' "This is n led lieglnuing," I said gloomily, "for what I hnve been looking lorwattl to impatiently for months!'' "Have you?" sho nsked, giving men, look to take one's breath away. "But it i npiears to me that n series of letters and j telegram were needed to get you here at nil ah, there's Turtle island! , Ho you know, in all the time I've been ' here, I never landed on Turtle island ! once--" I I fancied she looked as if she expected i something, so I said at a venture: "Nothing simpler. I'll paddle you there after tho re iew." t Was I abnormally suspicious, or did sho mean anything by that remark? It was one thing to know genemlly 'that she had been sitting on the rocks with other men, going to picnics, paddling about the bay, dancing, taking walks and most indubit ably llirting for a good two months: but it was quite (mother to sve the men them selves and llnd the delicate game of intel lectual immorality in full blast under my very no-e. My vanity came to the rescue just then nnd suggested that she was giving me oc casion to see her alone; for on the rugged, desolate island there was less chance of interruptions than in or about Bar Har bor. So thinking. I cheered up visibly and Idita wutthed mo with swift glances out of thoo ereolo eyes of hers and smiled softly to herself, humming now nnd then a tantalizing air that stopped short, like the song of the mocking bird, just when it seemed about to launch deeper into melody. Altogether Idita presented an impish nnd trickj mood that day such as I never knew her to show before or since. At tho meet there was tho usual confu sion, calling, laughter, bumping of ca noes, small shrieks from overexcited girls, coining and going of tho olliciul boats. I w:n promptly boarded by Mrs. Gaunt, who held ine with a gimlet eye while she talked about Idita. In a few minutes I heard more mimes of men who had been, were or were about to be in a state of violent love with that young lady than my brain could possibly retain. Only one im pressed himself by reason of picturesque ness. The jouth. whose name I missed, had fallen headlong a slave to the cruel Mobilian. and had then and there retired to some tastnes.s to brood on Ids hopeless passion and, so it appeared, his wrongs, l'or Idita had certainly snubbed him out rageously, if half what .Mrs. Gaunt said was true. Another the moral of it all abided by me also. Is it necessary to slate it? 1, too, would promptly undergo like treatment at those little hands; I, too, would lie encouraged, enjoyed, quarreled with, snubbed and brushed aside. "But. my dear lady," baid I, "in any event no mountain tup or fastness in tho wilds for me! Xo; if Idita 1 menu Miss Idita .should be so harsh to an old, old friend. I would not go away where I could not seo her, but stay right here yes, and give her a good .-nirb myself now and then!" "I like to hear you talk like that," she answered compassionately, "because it iu biires to us poor wall llowers who have outgrown our youth and beauty another amusing episode in tho unparalleled career of the hello of Bar Harbor." Tho she devil had divined that I hated that expression. 1 ground my teeth so that she was frightened. She began to talk to somebody else, and fearing that I would tell Idita what she had said, set in circulation a story the point of which was that 1 could not be trusted l'or a moment so shocking a liar was 1! Longing to be off, I found Idittv in earnest talk with Tommy Moore, who verily looked more liko a crazy man than anything else; he was furious at my good luck and seemed to bo saying violent things as J came up. It was lino to seo Idita quiet and quell him, but my arrival was not opportune, to say the least; ho Hung himself awa y and walked toitgunssy hillock overlooking tho scene, where, I heard afterward, he rolled on tho turf like a madman .aid uttered curses never heard before from those gentlo lips. But the signal was given and we em barked. I u under how many of tho men had ever been in a birch before. I hadn't. But I knew theoretically how to work the paddle, and was determined to die rather tl:::n let Idila see that I was what is vul garly called a duller, fortunately that young lady was and is a round weight; she is not loveliness in its most ethereal nspect, mi my canoe was well down in tho water and easier to handle, Fortunately, also, the need of keeping tho lino made progression slow, so that I had nearly halt an hour in which to take. my llrst lesson. Once or twice I scattered tho wrong kind of diamonds over that divine head, but. Idila seemed too happy to care. Was she happy lK-causeat last 1 had come? Her ej'es were lixed on Turtle island, and my own heart beat fast. Is sho thinking of our agreement 1 kept wondering. We moved gayly and magnllicently tip tho bay and down, then turned for tho grand review witli the addition to our ranks of several score of lale comers. Among them was Tommy Mooro, as I found to my dismay, for he jammed his canoe alongside mine and took a baleful pleasure In liothcriug mo in every way ho could. When he camo in Idita's line of vision that charmer merely nodded to him lightly, as if nothing had happened out of tho way perhaps it was an everyday matter to her that a poor littlo society baby should roll on the ground nnd curso horridly ou her account. I could not get rid of him till 1 bethought me of retalia tion, and having by a skillful hoist under tho stern of his canoo given Tommy very near to n ducking, that malign youth kept a moro respectful distance, and only tried to "fascinate" Idita with his eyes and express with his nose wbut ho thought of me and my vile paddling. Tho Joko was dull as wo approached Turtle island ugaiu, so I slackened up and edged away to the furthest bontou tho wing, deaf to tho cull of tho commodore, and as the lino inowd abreast of tho island I did my prettiest to get round tho point to tho other side, there to land thoro to Jiuve Idita all to myself! Luckily, Tommy was wedged into tho lino so that ho could not seo the skulkers, and I flattered myself, as wo forged ocr into the smooth water behind tho point, that ho had not detected our escape. How to got Idita out of tho slippery canoe wan tho next thing that nearly turned my hair gray; but it was dono well (though 'ii I who hay it) nt tho oxpeuM of oue of my feet bonked with wilt water. To feel her luiud on my shoulder, to have lu r uoijrht fall ou inn when alio sprung from tlu- Mg rock, arc mere niMt lareof detail that uiiirto in juat now witii Mnguiur n laneoji i know not why, urUbmu rsinwubor owt the LnuUnucfcW that we rercive jut liofore the final breach.

A. were gone, and I of us were in the mood runs before decisive and I cannot say that I had blissful speech. mr.de up iny tnir.d to ask her to marrv. If you know Idita you will ever think that; for what would lie tho good? Any time during the preceding winter sho could have said, and it would have been. Xow nlso r,r. it for her to speak, accord ing to her own repeated declaration of rights. Besides. 1 Mippcwe my eyes spoke till she cared to know much better than my tongue. And jet could it bo pos sible that this girl, who was so self nssert ive, who continually pive men the alter native to do exactly, say exactly what she willed or lie cast into outer dark ness and Rinshing of teeth, thnt this girl just to-day wanted me to nsert myself? I knew her theory of married life was closely similar to her practice as a maid. She" was to rule. She was to llirt as much as she chose. Her husband was to be a lover, a favored lover, but not lie uly in temiier to those less favored. Could it le her whim. I asked my.solf. to havo me set It crudely before her that 1 had eomo here to get her promise .Hid must !moitv The risk of a false step was enormous just at that hour nud at that conjunction. Xow and then she would stop, look about her search ingly, and appear to Ik1 listening. Wo made for the steep side of the island over looking the bay and the village in order to see the llotilla pass once more (thnnkGod, without us!) before the admiral's canoe. "Aren't you tired of all that:" asked I, nodding in the direction of Bar Harbor, as we seated ourselves tinder a stunted cedar where, unseen, we could note tho whole bay. I had placed mj'self as near as 1 dared, find played witli the yellow silk tassel of the cap she had discarded. "Hh? What? Bar Harbor? I think it is puffectly splendid!" cried this exas perating young person. 1 nursed my knee and my thoughts. That abstraction was real; it was not as sumed. At such a moment, in such a place, in the company of (hut!) such a man, to be distrait was indeed a symptom not alarming merely, but crushing. My throat went rather dry, and I think I must have groaned a little, for she lixed her glorious eye.s full of a liquid brown lire uiiou me, and asked if I felt ill! "Yes," 1 said, snappishly. "I do feel ill. Talk to me. amuse me, sing to me! 1 have been paddling you about ; you might at least do something in turn." She straightened herself up from a lounging position and looked at mo care fully. ''h, you're as crazj' as Tommy Moore!" We both laughed, and then I entreated her Wising. From being perfectly indexible, she suddenly consented, as if a thought had struck her, and presentlj one after an other of the songs that joting people troll at summer resorts ponied up among tho cedars of Turtle island in an uncultivated but rich contralto. Suddenly sho stopped short. And over Tommy did go just as I spoko only It was, rather, 1 hut his canoo got from under him and let him down, l.iko you or me in such a case he tried to climb on the bottom of the canoe, which there upon got from tinder him just as cleverly as before; it is the way with canoes. This tiling occurred live or six times before we realized that Tommy was very likely not to climb any more if help was not given. 1 scrambled down the hill, and had got half way when somebody dropped from a tree above an outlying rock, his straw hat Hying as he came, sprang into the water, laid hold of the canoe, seized Tommy by the neck, nnd held him tho other side of tho overturned craft until ho could get his breath. Then ho begun to' haul and swim toward tho shallow, and j presently got Tommy into safety. It was j done so quickly that my services were not needed. The man came from tho sky, as it were a dens ex .Mackinaw, as Tommy afterward said, when tho straw hat of his rescuer was' llslied out. Tommy always did make the worst puns when hysterical. Tlio Fen at .Mount Desert being icy cold, Idita and I set to work to make n llro at once, and called to the two sopping ones to come up. I noticed that, considering the danger there had been, Mm. was Htrungoly moved and lightheaded, but j when the third man camo upsho evidently t knew lit in. So did 1. Ho was a long , legged, very (iniet chap from Maine, who never went into so'-lely, hated young ladies, hud a rooted dislike of southerners, and regarded women who flirt ns no better 1 than traitors lo their sex. Wo called him 1 Hilly Cnrr what his middle name and 1 family were I did not know but except for prejudices of this kind he was as much , liked, by those who knew him intimately, as any innn 1 have met. AVell, Hilly C'arr and Idita kept looking at each other in a curious way, and ilnally Tommy Moore 1 spoke, rather hoarsely: "hilly, you saved my llfo just now." "Oh, that sail right." "I ought to, I will tell you right here before Miss Idita. 1 slandered you, hilly. ' I told her you were notoriously dissipated; that you never went anywhere because people wouldn't receive you. It was a lie, of course; but I did hear it wild. I repeated what 1 heard, and didn't deny it. Will you forgive me, hilly!'" C'arr held out his hand, but Idita burst into tears. "I never, ntver will forgive you, Mr. M-M-Mooro, never!" And sho wept and sobbed as if her heart would break. I tiptoed away, beckoning Tommy to follow, as the lire wus now started and thero was nothing else to do. Wo went down to the canoe in silence; insllcncowe puddled to liar Harbor; in sllenco I took my tickets by tho evening steamer to Frenchman's bay.
