Wallace is successful. the party who were observing him, he reached a comparatively level spot, and thence he walked along without any further difficulty, to the place where the bonnet was lying. He took it up, waved it in the air in token of the successful accomplishment of his expedition, and then sat down upon the rock to rest. In a few minutes he rose again, and laying down the bonnet in a place among the rocks where it could not be blown away by the wind, he walked forward toward the brink of A flower for Mary Bell. The return. another precipice, which lay before him, and when he had gone as far as he could go without danger, he stooped down and seemed to be intent on examining something among the rocks. Presently he arose from his stooping posture, and returned, apparently bringing something, carefully, in his hand. It was a little flower which he had gathered to give to Mary Bell. He came back in this manner, with the flower in one hand and the bonnet in the other, until he reached the difficult places in the path by which he was to return, when he put the flower into the bonnet, and then, carrying the bonnet and flower in one hand, he helped himself over the rocks with the other. In due time he got safely back to the place where the party had been left. He delivered the bonnet to Caroline, and then gave the flower to Mary Bell. It was a very small and delicate, but beautiful bell-shaped flower. He told Mary Bell that he saw it growing upon the rocks, and had brought it to her for a souvenir of their excursion.

"Yes, Caroline was here," said Wallace, "but I brought Caroline her bonnet; so I thought I would give the flower to Mary Bell." Mary Bell took out a little wallet from her pocket, which contained a small book, and some papers, and among them two or three leaves of blotting paper. She placed the flower very carefully between these leaves, to press and preserve it. After this, the party all came down the mountain and went to their several homes. It was only a few days after this excursion, that Wallace's vacation expired, and he returned to college. THE END.
