LUTE: 
A SINGULAR LIFE - HISTOEY. 
[Continued from page 14.',, last number.] 
April 4tu. It is raining hard to-day. The 
streets arc terribly gloomy, and not a conversa¬ 
ble soul has been near the house all day. 
Father and I have been playing chess this eve. 
I have just left him sitting disconsolately over 
the board, endeavoring to discover my “method 
of check-mating,” which method consists in Hy¬ 
ing around generally with plenty of good luck. 
NKTTns sent Qt in, this morning, every present 
he ever gave her, and this evening came a little 
note for me from him, containing a wee lock of 
her hair, which he stole two or three weeks ago. 
I gave it to her; she laughed, said it smelt of 
cigar smoke, and frizzled it in the gas. 
I have been sowing to day with a vigor which 
really waked aunty into some admiration, i 
made a loaf of cake, too, which Nkttie says is 
horrible, but father seems to appreciate, having 
eaten three pieces of it for tea. 
How the rain patters on the roof. 1 wish it 
would stop. The sound makes me perfectly 
crazy. I hear Nkttik’k step on the stair. Fly 
little bopk to a place of safety—quick. 
April Ctk.—M onday evening. I have just 
bidden adieu to those charming youths by the 
names of Harold N-n and Sam. K-r, 
(by the by, I think this latter youth has consid¬ 
erable of an admiration for Nettie,) who have 
just called to invito Nettie and myself to rido 
to the Lake to-morrow afternoon. We are 
going, and 1 expect a glorious time. It is rather 
early in the Spring to go, to be sure, but it’s 
now as warm and pleasant as a day in June, and 
we hope for the same kind of a day to-morrow. 
1 hope QrtN won’t hear that Nettie ie going 
with that Sam. R- y. They hate each other 
like poison. It. is very odd, but somehow none 
of tho boys like Quin. Even Harold, usually 
so Teady to speak a good word for a person, 
won’t stand up for Quin. He says he has such 
a bitter, revengeful temper,—so Juliet says, at 
least; he never told me so. But, at any rate, 
Quin ought not to care any longer for what 
Nettie does. It is none of his business now. 
Sam asked me to-night, in a confidential aside, 
if it was really true that it was all up between 
Nettie and Quin. 1 should like to know how he 
heard anything about it, or why he should trou¬ 
ble himself in regard to it! I sent him away in 
great indignation, by toiling him “that if he 
would pardon the impoliteness, 1 begged leave 
to tell him it was none of his business.” I don’t 
believe that Sam has a very high opinion of me, 
and I certainly have not of him. 
Father and Nettie have just driven down 
town, and to-morrow morning we are all going 
for a drive into the country. I honestly believe 
father cares as much for his two horses as he 
does for his two daughters. However, that is 
both an ill-natured and an impertinent thing to 
say of one’s own dear father,—1 take it all back. 
April 7th. —Oh! I never will go down to 
that old Lake again, as long as I live, never! 1 
am just about dead, and as for Nettie, I can 
hardly persuade myself that she is not. She fell 
into the water. I thought surely she was gone, 
but my Heavenly Father has spared her to me. 
Nettie, my darling Nettie, my only sister! I 
never know how much I loved her, until I 
thought I was going to lose her. I won't ever 
say another bad word about Sam either, for if it 
had not been for him, my darling would have 
been drowned. He sprang in after her and 
saved her, just as she was sinking. She was 
stepping, with Sam’s help, from one seat to 
another, when by some means, I don’t know 
exactly how, by a movement of Sam’s, I believe, 
the boat lurched, and over she went, Sam. quick 
as thought, after her. Of course, we started for 
home immediately after her rescue. 
She is asleep now. Somehow this accident , 
seems to have upset her completely. I thought 
at Gist she was just as well as ever, but she don’t 
seem herself at all now; not the independent, 
self-relying Nettie. She called me to come and 
seems to have harmed her in no other way. I been with her before now. It only breaks out 4 -Ty>a

and galloped past like a flash. Then he seemed 
to change his mind, for he turned and rode 
slowly alongside of the carriage. Father was 
not in it then, so he bad only me to be afraid of. 
At first he did not speak, and I would not look, 
but by-and-by- 
“Lutik, may I not hopo to be acknowledged 
as a friend?” 
I could have cried out in the street, the sound 
of his voice and looks of his face carried me 
back so to the days when Nettie was with me, 
but I did not say anything; I could not, for the 
life of me. Ho rode along in silence for a mo¬ 
ment, and then, when 1 made no reply, wheeled 
about and rode slowly off. But I could not bear 
to have him leave me thus. I called after him, 
and he came back. 
“Ob, Quin,” I said, “poor, poor Nettie! I 
have not”- 
“I know, Lute;” he spoke very quietly and 
gently, yet I fancied with the dreadful expres¬
