RTARTA HER FALSE FRIEND. *{ nope you will like him,” ad arm-in-arm through the beautiful grounds at Beechmont, her father’s country home, “Oh, I shall try to do so, just for your sake, my sweet friend,” Nina tone, and she pressed her rounded arm sloser to l.ou Winthrop, and looked up pn her face as lovingly as though she was the dearest friend in the whole world, She had arnved at Beechmont momrming, and she had come from wn home in a southern State to spend the summer in the lovely New England home of her friend. 1 they stood together under a broad spreading maple, Nina Sutherland look- ad like some tropical exotic that had been transplanted from its fervid native soil, and placed beside a modest way- side wiolet, so striking was the contrst between them. For while Nina bad creamy brunette skin, smooth as satin, glossy raven tres- ses, eyes that were silken fringed, and deep, unfathomable as midnight dark- ness that brown, and across her pale, pure, sweet face often flitted a pensive look, but she had a of her existence, for Gerald Alden had offered her his heart and hand, he had been accepted, and the wedding day had been talked of, though not yet set, for there was bliss enough in loving and being loved. It was the enchanted border land where Lou Winthrop loved to linger, el lover; could simely blessed? Now, Nma had come, and she was so maiden be more su- pleased with her lover; and Gerald was her ideal of all manly perfection. Then the girls gathered roses and astened them among their e blown Jacqueminot roses, rich uthern bloom. The sweet tones of the 8¢ piano came Bit wORLu Winthrop quickened her steps, ' she said her ‘Come in, Nina,’ friend “Gerald is in house and want {o Introduce you,” and with a coguetish gleam in her dusky eyes, Nina herlanid foliowed her friend. Yes, Gerald was at the piano, but he left, it a8 the girls entered the room, and then the southern beauty was for. mally introduced to Lou Winthrop's handsome lover, For he was handsome, that Sutherland saw st a glance, as she gracefully acknowledged the introduc. tion and, as she noted the clear, gray eyes the rich chestnut bair, and broad, white brow of Gerakl Alden, a thought nol wholly loyal to her dearest fnend flitte 1 through her versatile brain. Yes, she could love him, and-——who krows? perhaps she might win him for herself; but the unfathomable look that lurked in ber dark eyes Lou Winthrop did not nnderstand, but she did see the expression of admiration in Gerald's gray eyes at the might of the lovely southern face, for he had an artist's love for beauty, and Lou was glad that he waa favorably impressed. After he had gone she asked her friend’s opinion of him. “Oh, he's well enough, though quite different from our southern gentle men,’ Nina made answer with an as- gumption of andifference that she was far from feeling, and which made Lou flush angrily at her lack of discernment, but she only said: ‘Tf think you will like him when you coms to know him better,” Perhaps,’ replied Nina in a doubt. ful tone, and then the subject was ex changed for reminiscences of school life, But intimate as they had been in those days, Lou had seen nothing of her friend's penchant for flirtation and con. guest, Indeed. the vigilance of the corps of teachers at Northwood well nigh precluded its bility, and it would not be policy to show It now, for forewarned is forearmed,’’ but before Gerald’s first call was over Nina Sutherland bad arranged her plans for supplanting ber friend with the stra. getic shrewduoess of a general The magnificent New E sce- pery bad a st fascination for the southern girl, there had to be an endless round of amusement planned at Beechmont to aint her insatiable Sho was restless if a whole day were Lou loved t and ex- Ww hea the . home aud quiet so well, and © sum mer waned and sultry August days in. WAR re vited to the restfulness of shady trees { and arbors, Lou Winthrop often allows ed Nim and Gerald to go without her, though at {irst she was obliged to urge him to do so, and he told her, with a look that set her heart in a tremor of delight, that he did not care to go with- i gut her, ‘“‘Bat Nina is my guest, and 1t is to give her pleasure,” Lou responded, and for her sake he went. One day there was an excursion plan- ned to a romantic spot, a dozen miles away; Lou would not go, and for some reason Nina was in extravagant spirits, There was a subtle witchery that lurked in her dusky oyes; even Gerald felt their maguetic power, in spite of his love for Lou, hissweet white lily, he whispered in her ear, as he caught her in his arms and clasped her tenderly to his breast, when he found her alone, a | single instant in the great hall.

Suddenly a lurid light flashed up in the western sky, he sprang to the wine dow. Beechmont was in flames—that grand old place —and where were the inmates? Asleep without doubt, and in a moment Gerald Alden was dashing over the nalf mile of couniry road belween his home and Deechmont with the speed of the wind. But long before he reached the place, the hungry flames had burst throagh the roof. Not a sign of life! oh, he was too late? and frantically he rang the bell. Shrill and clear it reverberated through the long corridors, and Mr. Winthrop looked out. “Open the door the house is in flames)” screamed Gerald, end then as the ine mates become conscious of danger, all was confusion, There was no time €o save anything, Where were tho girls? Still inside the burning buildings, and Gerald Alden dashed through the blinding smoke up the broad, oaken stairway to Lou's own room It was securely barred inside; there was 20 sound, and with the strength of excitement he forced tha door. Lou was sleeplug: and the lurid light fell upon a pallid, tear stained face, No time could be lost, and wrapping about the slight form some of the bed clothing, he clasped her to his heart and rushied down the stairs, Not a moment too soon, for at that ipstant the roof fell in with an awful crash, and the forked flames darted high in the air, a wild scream above the noise of the fire, and Nina Sutherland appear- ed at her window, her black tress. es floating about her eho 8, her face livid with terror, ‘The halls were in flames now; no one could reach her save from the window.

A few moments more and the grand old pile fell in smouldering ruins, and the owner of Beechmont with his family were homeless, Mr. Winthrop could be brave for himself, but for his family shelter must be found, and Gerald Alden offered the shelter of his roof. The proffered hospitality was gladly accepted, and the fol'awing morning a group quantly clac ww garments bor- rowed from Gerald's mother, gathered about the breakfast table of the Aldens, Lou was pale, but celf possessed, Nina was fitful and nervous from her fall, though not seriously injured. She” was irritable from the loss of her ele- gant wardrobe, while a feeling of con- scious shame at her duplicity the pre- vious night made her hang her head in confusion, A whispered request from Gerald as i he passed Lou in the hall, for an inter- view in the library made her blue eyes flash, but she followed him in silence. “May I ask your reason for canceling our engagement?” he questioned, as he proffered a chair which she did not ac- cept. “Your own fickleness; you cannot keep troth with me when your heart is given to another,” Lou replied in a tone of intense emotion. “My heart has never strayed from its allegiance,” Gerald responded earnest- { ly, and Lou Winthrop repeated Nina's | words, “It is a vile fabrication!’ Gerald ex- | claimed indignantly, “and if you believe { me we will renew our vows.” And without opposition he replaced on Lou's finger the diamond engage- ment ring that she had torn off tily a few hours before.
