"One Little Indian-.'
On a bench, not a reservation; an at
'fair 01' love, not a war; a 6tuVy not a
s'onR.
The affair began with an aversion on
both sides; they do sometimes.
The first time lie saw her, he thought
to himself :
" And It was for this quiet, little,
brown, nondescript girl Ib'at I gave up
my trip to the Adlronda'cksand hurried
'down here at Rob. Sherwood's entreaty
to ' como anU be fascinated.' Those
were the w'ords of his letter and ho
knows I affect Blondes. Pshaw 1 1V1 as
lime make lnyselt agreeablo to a
squaw 1"
And Phil. Farnham puffed out his
chagrin and cigar smoke together, as ho
paced the plazta to an fro.
She looked all over htm at a glance;
when Introduced, and thought to her
self :
" And this Is the man I havo Idealiz
ed In my Imagination as a Lancelot
among men! Rob sal'd to was 'elegant.'
Why, he's old, and ugly, and unman
nerly I Ugh I"
And a little shudder of disgust ran
'through the slender Dgure as she turned
away after a few words following tho
Introduction. It looked a promtslng be
ginning, certainly, td the parties who
felt an interest lii tho Affair.
" Old, and ugly, arid unmannerly,"
ftas the verdict, given decidedly by
Rhoda to her aunt and cousin Maud,
Who a little curiously awaited her opin
ion. She was taking down her hair for
the night and stood In Maud's room be
fore tlio glass as sue spone, ana to see
her fling the great, heavy braids back,
one would think they had In some way
Conplr'cd toward destroying lier Illusion
of the Knight Lancelot.
"Why, Rhoda I He Isn't thirty yet)
and although he Is not handsome, to he
sure, ho Is not as hideous as you make
out: and as for 'unmannerly,' Phil.
Farnham Is a pentleoian." And Maud
who thought Phil., next to her love!
, i.rntiir tlin mnsl; ppiint, nf nipm
a"" brotlier, tlie mosi eiegani 01 meni
was a tilfle indignant at unotla's criti

" lie miist be a sbrt of wizard, t

lilm, for I slia'n't be. civil, I know. I've
iHL-nn in lritinin illMllift In thn man."
And with these words Rhoda lllt'tell
through tlie.door leading to her room,
with an allectwl shbdder that would
have none justice to a nrst-ciass actress.
" What oVi enrlh does she mean.

She must itot bo rude to Kob's irienar

" Le? her go; It IS only another of

shrugging her sliouklers.

traits'. Her aunt saia sue was "all oa-
dllles. and Very unlike the Brents," by-
which, of course, she meant sue was
tiAt a bit like her mother's people, or
tier. Rhoda was M.r. Sherwood's ward
and Mrs. Sherwood's niece, and as her
aunt w-s desirous of seeing her well
married anuou ner lianas, now mat sue
was well educated aud out of school,
she had miui03uvered tkillfully to get
rilll. Farnham down to tlie ueaclt luat
summer In order to throw the two to
gether. The first move lu her little
game, however, promised anything but
a victorious close.
Rhoda had been a trial to her aunt
ever since she had had her In her charge.
Maud, now, was so totally different.
She did Just what was expected of her.
and had, lliereioro, very properly fal
len In love at once with the mad her
mother had selected, arid now, duly en
gaged, was only awaiting the coming
autumn In which to mntry and take Her
tour abroad, according to the usual
manner of girls la her set. Rhoda, on
tlie contrary, did nothing anyone ex
pected of Her. She had refused, pulht.
blank, two splendid offers, both ot
which het Runt approved and urged
and, as mittters looked How, she was In
n lair way to avert, at least, a tnira I
Mrs. Sherwood consulted her son on
tlie urntter not long alter, and tile two
concluded they would try new tactics.
" Sue Is just like all me Urents con
trary and willful, "said Mrs. Sbetwbod,
wltli a sign.
" Very well, mother we can b'fe the
same. Now I propose a new method.
If you are Uetermlbed to marry Rtioda
off to somebody, rlill. Farnliani Is just
the fellow only lie dosen't admire bru
nettes, you see: hut you have talked
too uiuch about I'lill to her in lilJ fa

There wal verv lltttb said abbut Mr.
FrauUam to Rhoda after that, add as be
was vfcry rately In the (hmo. belnc out
In his yacht or off fishing most-bf the
time, she wa's not anuo'jed by his ptes
ence tt his Intentions. It puzzled her
after awhile, and she wondered htJw
I'lill. Farnham came to be called "fasci
nating, anil a winner of woman's
hearts," when she had not see any at
tempt on his part to make hlmtelf
agreeable to one. She risked Itob. about
it one day as thy were.comlug up from
the bath.
" I tboaght yea told me Mr. Fsra-
am Was a ladles' man," said sh'e.
Why, ho hasn't spoken to one since
he's be'eh here,"
" Uli, thittls becauso lie s so dread
ful fastidious." carelessly replied Rob.
"Ho saj'B thero Isn't & pretty girl at the
house. You know lie affects the blondn.
style of beauty. Ho declares he feels
as though ho was In A wigwam when
he looks down tho table and sees all
those dark faces. Why, he calls all
brunettes 'squaws.' Ha, hat" and
Rob. laughed beur'tlly.
Rhoda did not enjoy the Joke. She
walked on a little Quicker, a vivid flush
flaming up into li'cr dark cheeks, and
answered her cousin sharply :
" ilia cool insolence 01 these red
whiskered 'pale faces' Is refreshing
a little dash nf the Indian would Im
prove Mr. Farrihara's manners, as well
as appearance. 'Squaws," Indeed I"
" Yes, I think so too, Rhoda. I was
provoked at him, for I wanted him to
like you, and he doesn't."
" Ho doesn't I Pray; how can ho
Judge ? I am sure . lie hasn't spoken a
word to me since tile evening ot bis
arrival."
" Well. Rhoda. I wouldn't have biuch
to say to him, If were you, If he gave
you a chance. But tie won't, for ho
declares ho never tr'dubles himself to
pay attention whero he does not ad
mire. There ho Is how. Let's turn
off this road."
And Rob made nil attempt to tako
the next path, but Rhoda outflanked
him, and walked boldly by tho enenly,
flashing out a deflant, bright glance
from beneath her long, Jetty lashes ds
she bowed good morning. Rob whisp
ered softly to himself and laughed
again, but Inatdlbly.
" That little cousin of yours has a
fine pair of eyes, Rob.," yawned Phil.
Farnham, lazily, from tile depths bf his
hammock out ou tile lawn, where lib and
Rob. were taking siesta that afternb'dU.
" Yes, but you needn't expect to re
ceive any admiring glances from them,
I'lill. ; she says she hates red whiskers,
and that she will never' take the trouble
to make herself agreeable to a man who
wears tliem blie calls you 'Dun
dreary;' " and Rob. laughed merrily to
himself.
The hammock swung to and fro so
rapidly now that it threatened to over
throw Its occupant, and '.ho volume of
smoke that Issued therefrom looked
very much us though there might be a
rasing lire wituin its depth somewhere.
" I say, ItoO., let's look In at the hop
to-night," said the volco In the ham
mock, after a long silence. "I believe
I d like a waltz or two."
" Certainly I'm wintrier but
didn't think there was anyone hero you
wou.d care td waltz with. OU, I recol
lect now. Miss Merton arrived to-day.
and will make her debut In our rooms
this evening. How wild you were over
ner uionuo ueauty last winter."
" Um 7 Yes, very fair and Btately,
Well. I'll nleet vou therb to nleht-
we'll make our debut, to,. lb full dress
red whiskers' aud all," lio added,
sotto voce.
Rhoda was radiant that evening. She
lighted up well, and, lu a wbndeful bull
nnd scarlet combination tif silk, lace
and flowers, the pretty, little, lithe,
dark figure fvVayed in tile waltz and
and whirled lu tho galop like some
bright, tropical bird. She danced dl
vlnely, and loved thn waltz with a girl
Ish fervor. Therefore she did hot re
fuse Mr. Farnham "the pleasure"
when he came toward her earlv lit tho
evening nhd begged the Honor ot her
hand. She discovered at a glance that
he waltzed like a god;" and, as she oft
en declared, she "would danco with a
chliiiuey-awcep If hu could glide with
her step." She did refuse hi hi btice
after.
Somehow. It must have been for tho
sane reasutl, ot course, Phil. Farnham
waltzed olt'ener with her than with anv
othet lady In tho room; and, In spite of
his predilection for blondes, brunettes
appeared In thotiScendunttliat evening,
and the lair debutante. Miss Merlon

"For what 7" interrupted KbtJda,
quickly.
"Uli, you'd never suit one another;

Hut Mr. Farnnam did stay to tho mas

very presentable "Duudreary." The
Usual stereotypedj number of flower
girls, queens, ku glits and peasants
