A haired black satin cravat was speaking to in elderly woman who might have bee head nurse or a highly respectable cook and housekeeper in a country family. She wore a closely-tied black satin bonnet, wud a large shawl of the kind known as Paisley hung in a point from her should ers to the end vf her black skirt, wh.le which she pointed to a hanging high above sed in stout brown kid g eanpty finger-ends.
A step or two in advance stood a slight young girl, whose gown of fawn-colored alpaca was somewhat short and scant; she wore a round cape of black cashmere, its long ends crossed and fastened behin1 und a broad rimmed straw hat adorned with a bow of white ribbon and a larg bunch of very stiff forget-me-nots; her feet, clad in white stockings, were plané- ed in stout, square-toed, serviceable shoes, tied on the instep, and had no heels worth mentioning; the whole cos- tume bore the stamp of village millinery. A quaint litle bourgevis figure, yet Mait- land’s attention was riveted to it. While he looked, Beaton touched him on the shoulder, and exclaimed in a deep whisper:
“Great heavens, there she is!”
Maitland smiled at the dismayed ex- pression of his face.
“How do you know ?” he asked.

“He sees you,” said Maitland.
Beaton raising his hat, started forward with a frank, pleasant smile to met the anxious-looking old gentleman who was beckoning him.

She turned quickly and looked full at him with a startled expression, as if sud- denly recalled from another world, show- ing under her large hat a simple, pale, gentle face, the nose a little upturned, the mouth searcely small enough for beauty, the eyes well set and darkly fringed, but no particular color, the hair

She looked at them steadily, a slight cclor stealing up in her cheek, as she made a smal! very small courtesy, qu-.imt | but not ungraceful, without any attempt to speak. She was turning again to the pictures when Beaton with what Mait- land perceived to be an effort. asked: “Is this your first visit to the Academy?”
“Yes, I never saw any pictures before, except two or three at home.”’
“There are quite to many here for com- fort, you will be awfully tired before you leave.”
“I feel a little giddy when I leok round certainly, but 1 should like to stay on and on till I saw every one.”
“You must come cunstantly, taking a rest between your visits,” said Maitland, who was determined to make acquaint- unce with the poor little heiress,

“Mr. Tilly, yes, he is very kind. but Mr. Dargan is always unhappy about momey,” she returned, quite unconscious of the implied compliment, and looked aguin at the picture.

“This is a clever picture,” said Mait- land, who kept his place by Miss Vivian.
“It is wonderful,” she said, in a low tone, as if absorbed in contemplation; her voice was naturally soft, and her acceat fairly good. “I never thought anything could be painted like it; there are some bits of moorland near my home, and I have seen the clouds gather over them just like those. I almost feel the cold breeze that generally comes up with the rain; and those distant blue hills, how far away they look-—that is what I can | not do when I try to paint.

“I wish I were. Mr. Dargan has agree? to let me have lessons, and I shall work hard, so hard.”
“Work hard!” echoed Beaton, return- ing to her side as she spoke. “What a tremendous resolution! May I ask what is the object to be attained?”
Miss Vivian colored slightly, and look- ed down as if she thought he was laugh- ing at her. “I want to learn drawing,” she said simply.
“Then Mr. Tilly must find you a good master. Has he any idea whom to em- ploy ?”
“Oh, I suppose so.”
“It is very important to find the right man,” said Beaton gravely. “What mast- er do you think of, Mr. Tilly, for Miss Vivian?” .
“I really have not an idea on the sub- ject,” replied Tilly nervously. “I never had anything to do with art or artists. No doubt Mr. Dargan, who is almcst * universally informed, will be able to sup- ply our needs.”
“T don’t fancy art is much in his line, said Beaton. with an air of care- less superiority. “Now, I know one or two good-men, and shall be most happy 1 if I can be of use to Miss Vivian”

Miss Vivian as if they understood each ; other. “It is a laudable ambition, and a charming taste. Wiil you allow me to! see some of your drawings?’
“Yes, then, if you understand ebeut art, you can tell me if I am worth teach- ing,” she returned, with a quiet earnest- ness.
