THE WINDS SUMMONS. Ths Wind came whining to my door, Across the uplands from the sea, With plaintive burden o'er and o'er, “Oh, will ye roam the world with n.o?

At that mo ment her ideals went out of the window and were blown out to sea by the wind v was a man-hater and a desperate character, cut a swath, Her change of heart most sincere. She simply despised men. She took pleasure in transfixing them with the arrows of love and seeing them writhe. She had no more pity than a seal hunter, and she was as devoid of sentiment as Butler's “Analogy.” She never made the slightest pretense. She treated all men with sarcastic contempt, and they seemed to like it, She counted her victims by the score. She broke up engagements by the dozen, She made regiments of girls jealous. She played Venus Vietrix to perfection, and had all the mothers in society wild with a desire to cast her into the bottomless pit. All except one. Mrs, Chasby Soden had a daughter who didn't go off. She hung fire dreadfully. The only man who had ever shown a disposition to gather her to himself had been switched off by the insatiable Florence Craven, who wrung his head dry and then sent him packing. Then Mrs. Chasby Soden rose up and said : “That Craven girl has got to be mar. ried.” The only marry her? right in n long, but she quite “0 winter ind would pe weeks that was 13 far AR } i } 5 iaughed ie in I'hen she wished him In the she fell flat on : 1 for wo upstairs, id there hours time she arose at flirt of the For two vears she uestion was who was to . Chasby Soden studied that problem long and carefully, and finally she came to the conclusion that she knew the man. Then she ran down to study out a plan by which he could be led to devote himself to Florence and to conquer her, She spent a whole morn ing in deep thought, At luncheon she appeared with a severe headache and a written letter, “If that does not bring him," she said to herself, “I must simply give up. It did bring him. He was Jarvis Mu ray, Mrs. Chasby Soden's nephew, the son of her oldest brother, now dead. Jar vis Murray was thirty vears old and not pretty to look at.

Somehow or other her favorite sport palled on her that after noon, and, of course, she blamed it all on Murray. He met her face to face in the corridor as she was going to her room to dress for dinner. She was going to pass him in dignified silence, but he stopped and held out his hand, “Won't you forgive mel” looking hard after her, When he looked like that you would have thought that his soul was leaking out of his eyes, “Since you are so humble,” she said, “1 will; but I think you were very rude.” ‘So do L" he said, touching his lips to the end of her fingers with a manner almost reverential, He passed on, leaving her flustered and elated, The man had acted as if he thought her a female deity, After that he went on all the evening making things sleasant for all the other girls and leav. ing her out. It was enough to exasper. ate a saint. Florence was not a saint, and when she retired to her room for the night she was about as thoroughly vexed an woman as ever, lived, She actually broke down and had a good old-fashioned ery. “I'll fix him,” she said. “I'll not he said, allow to treat me in that style. : i i The first attempt he makes at impu dence to-morrow ends our ance,” But on the morrow he was not impu dent.

So she said “No,” and then waited. And what do you think he did? Dropped her hands and walked away without another word, The next day he met her and treate” her as if no word of love had ever passed between them. It was simply incompre- bensible. Any other man would have gone away, or hung off in the distance and looked miserable, or proposed again, but this one did none of these things,and he never left her side. He did not sigh. He did not look miserable He looked rather contented than otherwise. And he was simply knightly in his attentions, He not only fathomed her thoughts and executed her commands before she uttered them, but he froquently knew just what she wished when she was not quite sure of it herself. The result was inevitable, There never was a girl who could be comfortable in the J Sreuce of a newly rejected suitor, and the peculiar conduct of this one was enough to set a girl mad, Florence was so upset by it that she wanted to drive him away, But he would not be driven.
