"Certainly, Joslah."

Lucllla, her lovely beryl eyes swim

So I took passage in tho first 1

Half-way acrpssi, we hailed an

My widow did not contradict this

" Lucllla, don't you love me?"
" Of courso I do," with a charm

" I don't know what to say."

Lucllla's head drooped unUl the
widow s cap nearly touched her com

" Yes," sho murmured at last.
Human nature could stand this no

Lucllla sprang to her feot with an
eldritch scream.

Mr, Sykes obeyed, sheepishly enough.
" As for you, madam," I said
sternly, turning to my Bobbing wife

Vohomcntly ringing the bell I or
dered a carriage and packed the be
wildered woman off before, she could
remonstrate.
That was the end of my matri
monial experience, for Lucllla has
never vonturod to return to the
shadow of my roof.

that evening, Janlo besido him.
" I have thought of a costume,"
sho said, with a pretty hesitation,
as they parted In tho dim ball;
"that is, If Aunt Haunah will let
me."
"What bo they up to now?" said
Mrs. Clogg fretfully, pausing over
the breakfast dishes next morning,
to listen to the sound of voices pro
ceeding from an upper room.
" It's my doing,' said Aunt Hannah
regretfully; "you 6oe, Janls tcaod

" Eh?" said her sister blankly.
" She wanted ray old sp'nnlng

usod to wear," Aunt Hannah explained ;
"that feller's going to mako a pict

Mrs. Clegg sank into a chair.
" How could you have done It?"
she queried.

demurely.
" Llko It?" cried the voting man
delightedly; " I'm entranced 1"
And he continued Industriously to

Altogether It was a delightful time,
and It was an unwelcome interruption
to both, when Mrs. Clegg put her
head In at the door, und told
Jnnlo to como down and sot tho

Dayton did not mean to be In

for the exhibition hnd grown into a
perfect frenzy, which puzzled even
Janle.

" What nro you colnc to do with It?"
she said, turning to Dayton.

A ciouu nr. mist was coining up tho
road ; the hack was in sight.
" Good-bye, Janlo I" mid tho young
man softly, " I am coming back, you
know,"
Tho weeks went by.
Spring ilwponed mid mollowed, and
wasglving placotobummer. The cherry
trees bloomed; tho treo which Dayton
had sketched filled Us branches with
loaves of a tender green.
' What does she think now, I wonder?"
said Mrs. Clegg grimly.
Sho was mcuulng htocklngs by tho

Thero was a clatter of hoofs, and r
