"By the uso of Ayer's Tills nlone, I

"I have derived crcat benefit from

"Jack, don't you think this is getting to
bo something of an old story?"
Slio Is the prettiest littlo creature In the
world, with a bright, ' piquant faco all
smiles and dimples, eyes like twin blue
bells, and a rippling, willful mas of golden
hair encircling the lovely, sparkllni; face
with a Derfect aureole of Imprisoned snn
shlne. She is curled up like a kitten in the

who has been hei friend, champion and
lover ever since she was a toddling llltln
fairy of six willful, imperious summers.
lie is leaning against tho back of her
chair, looking dovyn upon her with a world
of devoted admiratioh In his honest, blown
eyes a look that undergoes a swift, change
Into one of painful solicltudo and oven
alarm, while his firm lips tremble slightly
as he answers her.
"What is it that is becoming an old
story, Hetta?"
For just a moment Loretta Dane hesi
tates with a visible embarrassment in her
manner, and her eyes droop away from tho
earnest gaze she feels upon her. Then tho
ruby lips curl in a pout Half coquettish,
half resentful, but wholly . capricious and
perverse.
"Why you see It has been just you and
I all these years and of course lllko you
ever so much, Jack but but It's got to
be such au old story, that I nni afraid If wo
were to go and get married, I should bo
tired of it before a great whlle-r-wouldn't
you, Jack?"
Dead sdlence for a moment. Jack stands
looking down at her with a face out of
which every trace of brightness has van
ishedhis dark eyes full of bitter, passion
ato pain, his fltm lips drawn tightly together.
Little fickle butterfly that she Is, she
has held the dearest place In his very heart
of hearts for years, and to give her up is
like facing the bitterness of death Itself
But strong as tho love he holds for her is
his honor and pride, and they will not suf
fer him to keel) her bound for an instant
to an unwilling plcdce.
"It would never haye been an old story
to me, Loretta," ho answers presently,
"Or rather, an old story far sweeter and
dearer than any new ono could ever be.
Hut if it has become so to toil, let it end
here now: yon are free."
She has been twirling round on her pret
ty, plump linger, in a half-nervous vay,thc
dainty torquois ring he had placed there
with such fond pride six months before,
and just as the last words pass his lips It
slips from her careless hold, and rolls
ids feet.
Without a word or sign save the deepen
lug of the pallor on his cheek, Jack stoops
and picks it up and puts it in his po:ket.
"Good-bye, Loretta," he say's, holding
out his band.
She looks quickly tip with a faint little
Rasp,
There Is something In his tone that
warns her that he is drifting further out of
her life, that shocan't consent to let hiin go,
"Not good-bye, Jack," sho falters,
We'll be good friends of course, and you
will come and see me just tlio same as as
to
the twentieth timo.
"Dear Loiiktta, I had no Idea that
you had grown to bo such a charming little
creature as your photograph recently sent
me Indicates; and I must havo you down
hero In tlio city for a few weeks to turn
the heads of our society beans, and make,
our belles wild with cnyy. I hope thcro Is
no rustic entanglement to lntcrfcro with
the prospect I can insuro to you, with Hint
captivating faco of yours. If I do not send
you honio with n diamond of tho first
water on your finger, I shall not be as good
a prophet as I havo, proved myself in other
cases. Let me know how 6oon you can bo
ready to come, for tho season will not last
more than six weeks longer."
It Is the first notico her fashionable,
worldly-minded aunt has taken of her for
ten years, and It has thrown her foolish
littlo heart Into a flutter of gratified vanity
and expectation.
Poor Jack! his tttrquois ring looks very
cheap and plain In contrast with tho splen
dor of that prospective diamond; and after
reading tho letter over half a dozen times,
Loretta comes to tho conclusion that sho
will exchange this "old story" for the pe
rusal of tho new and dazzling romanco of
which her aunt's letter holds tho promise.
Dcspito tho bustle of preparation, the
next few days aro horribly lonely to Loret
ta. Never until now has she realized iiow
largely sho had been dependent for that
happiness that has shed a coffstant stream
of .sunshine around her, to tho kindly
sphere, the loving, tender faithfulness that
has pervaded his every word and action to
ward her that has anticipated her wishes,
fulfilled her desires almost before sho was
conscious of them, and shielded her from
every breath of care or sorrow.
Hut although sho begins to realize all
this, she has not yet learned to appreciate
it at Its true worth; so she dashes away the
tears that will arlso now and then, and
forces a smile to her lips; and when at last
she Is ready to start, the excitement of the
prospect before her has qulto driven awny
for a timo any serious or painful considera
tions. Her aunt meets her with open arms,
loads her with kisses and complimcnls,and
later on with costly presents, and for threo
iveeks llfo opens beforo her In one long,
glittering holiday.
Her fresh, lovely faco and unaffected
ways create, as aunt predicted, a perfect
sensation, and cro Loretta has been n week
In tho glittering whirl, her conquests hayo
attained a magnitude that the. most Invct
erato coquette might well cnyy.
Hut although pleased, dazzled, and Hal
tered by tho novel experience, In-tho girl's
heart is a void that nothing can- appease,
that Is dally becoming larger and deeper.
Among all tho faultlessly attired admirers
who throng around her with their pretty
compliments nnd languid, blase attentions,
whete Is ono like Jack Ayre, with his clear,
itralghtforward look, h!searncs', flnceru
voice, his manly, uptight bearing? Nover
his iillfo has he flittered her nay, ho has
chldcd her gently, -many times but sho
knows now that his lightest word of ap
proval has sounded dearer and been moro
cply treasured than nil the fawning adtr
latlon and vapid compliments of which sho
becoming so weary.
Sli3 lies down to rest ono night, or rather
tho early morning, hcatt nnd head alike
throbbing in weary refrain of pain and
loneliness.
Ono of her most eligible admirers has
been moro than usually pointed in his at.
tcntlons thai night, and her aunt has whis
pered: "I see tho fulfillment of my proph
ccv. Lorolta! the diamond is yours l ' nut
tho words hayo no power to moyo her.
Her whole soul is going forth in ono ciy
a cry that must be forever uttered in vain
for her own act has stilled tho answer
She Biuks Into a heavy sleep almost In
stantly, and all at once she is standing on
tlio verge ol a steep precipice. Far below
her on a narrow ledge a man is lying with
faco of ghastly pallor and closed eyes a
faco that Is Jack's own
Presently he opens his eyes and reaches
ono hand Imploringly toward her; but she
makes no response, and In the next mo
ment sho Bees him falling down to tlm hot
toni of Iho precipice,
Al the same moment sho is seized by
some one behind her; it is tho man whose
attentions she had been receiving that ovo-
nlng. With a wild shriek sho bleaks from
him, and goes down, down to where that
dead faco is lying upturned to her, and then
sho awakes.
