Just before Christmas Randall one day experienced in his breast a sort of imperative intimation perhapsdi- rect from the slant -eyed Mandarin, who knows that he Might hear of something to his advantage if he should go down to the city and call upon Clementine; so, after some fu- tile resistance to the message, ho be- took himself thither. He was graciously received by Clementine --- that is, graciously enough for a young man who had played the trifler with her invisible affections—and he seated himself in a cozy chair near the pretty table which held his old friend- - the blue jar. As he talked with Clementine ---a little constraint being apparent on both sides -ale toyed with the lid of the jar, and the slant -eyed mandarin appeared to wink at him three times very knowingly. Under some occult, but imperative pressure, Randall removed the lid and touched with his finger the silken texture of seine mysterious contents. Curiosity further constrained him, and he pulled front the bosom of the now jubilant mandarin a pale blue article of singular description for a parlor ornament, and followiag it, ho extracted a pale pink strip or similar shape and structure. Turning to Cleinentiae for explan- atioil of these:unforesocii apparitions, he found her speaehless with a wild eyed asionishineut, and, without a word or geiture, she seized the old blue jar and hurried from the room. Randall smiled the first reel, soul - felt, retroehing smile that ho had in- dulged in for several months, and vowed by the pig -tail of the old slant- eyed that he would stay rooted to the spot until Clementine returned.

The old blue jar had perched for many years on the corner of the high mantel -piece in the old-fashioned country parlor, and Aunt Phrebe knew that if she gave it to Clemen- tine she would have a dreadful lone- some feeling every time she stood on a chair to dust the old clock, the shells, the peddler vases, the feather fans and other companions of its lofty abode. But Clementine was an ac- complished wheedler, and the fond old aunt finally said she might have her wish. When Aunt Phcebe gave over to Clementine her right and title to the old blue jar. Randall was leaning in the window and idly sifting rose leaves from the 'old cdimhing vine through the meshes of his tennis racket. Ho sympathized with her lively admiration for the antique and ancient in china, and was glad that she had attained her heart's desire; but a more absorbing interest pos- sessed his manly breast. Clementine was going home in the morning, and he had been tryieg in vain for several days to get the 'feeble courage of his ardent conviction-; up to the declarative point.

He did not dream that the driving. \Tie , emperor 1,01 teed me slant -eyed mandarin would be guilty of the ungentlemanly trick of inter- cepting a love letter. But the fun -loving mandarin knew what he %'.'as about. He was not with- out experience in these matters, and he wanted to punish Clementine a trifle and bring her to the proper con- dition of seriousness.. And Clementine was feeling the situation with all the sobriety that was desirable. She had suspected all summer that Randall had a tender feeling for her which she felt qual- ified to reciprocate, but she was a proud girl, and could net, by a feather's weight. influence the bal- ance of his atteations. Therefore, be- hind her smiles she had been not a little wounded that be had allowed her to come home without having giv- en expression to his sentiments.
