A WAYWARD GIRL.
HY OUINKVNItE.
"lilalit o'clock and Laura not hero. She
never kept mo waltins like this before."
And handsome Krrol Hrant drew his
brows together and pulled at his tawny
mustaclio impatiently.
It was a picturesque, placo that ho and
Laure Hay had chosen for their meetings,
a woodod glen, intersected by a tiny brook;
and to-night tho moonlight, falling hewtccn
tho interlacing branches, enhanced the
scene, and brought tho beauty of each work
of nature Into distinctness.
Errol walked to and fro a brief whilo,
and then paused- to glance up tho narrow
path. '
In tho dlstaiico he saw what appeared to
be the flutter of light draperies; then it dis
appeared, and after straining his eyes for
a second glimpse, ho turned away with a
sigh.
'That Is not Laure," ho thought. "She
would have been in my arms ero this; her
Hying feet' would have traversed that space
In an instant."
But, ns if in contradiction to his words.
a slSnder, girlish form now appeared hi tho
glen, nnd ErroHurned with a glad cry.
".Why, I thought " ho began, then
stopped as ho saw that thn girl held herself
from him witli dignified attitude and out
stretched hand.
"Laure, what Is the matter ?" he asked.
She raised her head, and he saw that her
face was pale, her Hps set, her eyes re
proachful.
"I came hero to-night becauso I prom
ised," she said, in low, steady tones, "but
shall never come again."
'What does this mean?"' ho faltered.
"Why, Laure, are you possessed of your
senses, or Is this n cruel jest?"
"I am rjulto sane," she said, with a little,
sharp IaiiE.li. I was mad beforo Errpl Brant,
mad when I promised to meet you hero
without tho knowledge of my step-mother,
mad when I listened to you and believed
you, mad when I thought ion were doing
aught but amusing yourself at tho expense
of .a poor, inexperienced girl. Hut I am
not mad now "
Errol looked bewildered, and it was evi
dent, even to her, that ho did not compre
hend the meaning of her words.
"Lauro, I do not understand you, J nin
stupefied," ho said, drawing nearer. "Let
mo look into your eyes."
Ho placed his hand under her chin and
raised her face lo tho moonlight, a pretty,
childish facn about which the rich aburii
curls clustered In attractive confusion, a
face that was usually radiant and rosy, but
now wore a look of haggard care and set
dehance.
Tho delicato red Ifps were drawn, the
nostrils dilated, tho dark, hazel eyes met
his steadily a moment, and then, pushlug
his hand aside, Lauro burst into tears.
"I cannot help It," she sobbed, resisting
every efTort Errol mado to draw her to him
and soothe her. "I'm a weak, foolish
creature, but I want you to understand,
Errol Brant, I'm not crying for your sake."
Ho smiled despite his anxiety, and she;
seeing tho smile, misinterpreted it. Pas
sion dried her tears.
"Vos, lau,ih at inc," she cried, stamping
tier tiny foot. "You are liko all the rest
they abuse mo nnd slight me, and then
laugh and sneer."
"Laure," cried Eirol, aghast, "what arc
you saying?"
'Itlstiuo," she ciled, too angry and

a secret that alio had kept through prido
for man months. "It Is truo, I am mls-

have been treated like a dependent. Ho
left all his money to her, my step-mother,
because sho made him believe sho loved mo
as sho did ler own daughter, and he trusted
her so. And now I am nobody and Jfarian

me kindly, hut they don't, oh they don't,
and I'm going to run away."
Errol held out his hand, whilo a look of
pity ciiiio lnto.hls eyes, but Laura dashed
it aside.
"And now you aro liko all tho rest," she
said, liassionately. "You deceive me and
scorn mo," , ,
"I scorn jou, Lauro ? " ho asked won
derlngly, "why I love you, dear."
"Uli, you tell mo that becauso I am a

Errol faded her with a look of resolution
on his dark and handsome face.
"Laure, Hstun lo me," ho said firmly.
"Explain your words, your actions, give

"Hear mo," ho said hoarsely, lint sho

And cio ho could protest sho had turned

do ? Ho would wait till morning and no
to Laure s home; ho would see her, and
explain tlio odd situation in which ho
found himself.
On the morrow ho went to tho Bay homo-
stead, and was greeted effusively by Mrs,
Hay and her pretty blonde daughter. Af
ter the first glance at Marian, however, ho
know ho could never love her, sho was
shallow and yaln, and far from his Ideal.
Ho thought of a dimpled, rlante face, with
sparkling hazel eyes and a tangled mass of
auburn cm Is.
'I am in dire trouble," said Mrs. Bay,
after a while. "My late husband's dauoh-
ter has been a trial to us' all such a way
ward girl. Tills morning she was missing
and she has gone, Mr. Arlclgli, and left
a note saying that ho had gone for good,
and wo need not look for her."
"What hayo you done," gasped Errol.
his Hps paling, whilo ho tried to conceal
his great anxiety.
"What could wo do ? I sent John out
to inquire among the neighbors. Sho was
always very willful."
'And do you mean to let it go at that?"
asked Errol excitedly. "Why, she must
bo found."
They wero out In tho gardon, and just
within' souud of their voices Marian stood
at the rose-hushes, culling the fragrant
flowers and listening to every word. iNow
she drew near with a smile.
"What are you talking about ? DM sho
hear Lauro's name," she .asked. "Oh, you
don't know her or you wouldn't rcpioach
us Mr. Arleh'ii. Neither of us lias power
to Influencoifcr. Of course we will find
her If possible."
Errol thought of Lauro nlouc in tlio
woild, wandering among strangers. Ho
was powerless lo act until theso peoplo
know the truth.
'.Miss, llav," ho said abruptly, "I do
know Lauro Bay, and I was tho causo of
her leaving homo. There was a misunder
standing between us."
"What do I hear," gasped the elder la
dy, whilo the roses fell from Marian's
grasp.
"Yes, I will make a full confession,"
said Errol, though his face hushed'a trifle.
"I knuAv my father and you had arranged
a match between your daughter and me.
Acting on an impulse I came to tills placo
three months beforo I was expected that
I might meet your daughter unknown. I
admit it was scarcely fair, but I whiso tod
win his love as a poor man, not as the sou
of Mark Allelgh; I wanted to lest hci.
Then I met Lame; tho villago organist
Introduced us, and 1 loved her at first sight
I was afraid to come here then lest I should
bo recognized, or you .would .not approve
of my attentions to her, so I met her iu the
glen." '
"Tlio nilful thing," muttered Mrs. Kay.
"No, sho ft a beautiful, Innocent child,"
said Eirol, his yes flashing, "but sho oyer
heard your conversation, ami believed I
had been deceiving her. I lovo her nnd I
will find her, and when I do I shall make
her my wife, for I know sho is" not happy
here."
Mrs. Bay paled, and east a sharp glanco
at her daughter.
They had lost, hut after all, would it not
be well toconclllato Mark Arletgh's son.
"Wo will assist you," sho said sweetly.
"Quite unncssary," called out a musical
yolco: nnd as they looked up amazed they
saw a bright face peering out between the
yines that clamored oyer the tiny window
under tho caves."
I'm up hero in tho garret," said Lauro
shaking her auburn culls. "I wanted to
see how much I would bo missed beforo I
really ran away. But I would havo gono
afterward. Its very dusty up hero and
smells awfully of herbs and all sorts of
things, and I'm hungry. I guess I'll como
down."
Errol met her at the door nud kissed her
as eagerly as If sho had been lost for years.
"I missed you," he said gently. "Oh,
you wayward girl, how you havo worried
mo. But I will remember this when you
aro udno forever my wife."
"I .am not afraid of you, sir," said the
wayward girl, as sho nestled closer. -

HOW A MAN SEWS ON BUTTONS
Did y6"u oyer sco a man in the solitudo
and privacy of his study attempt to sew a
button on by himself? It is, In all Its de
tails one of tho most Interesting perform
ances In the world.
Elrst, ho hunts for a button. Generally,
to secure It ho robs Peter to pay Paul, and
cuts one from another garment.
This may bo inuch'larger or much small
er than tho slzo ho is wearing.
Next, lie hunts for a needle. Probably
ho goes out and buys a paper of needles.
Ho nlways chooses the largest needles,
having nu impression thai larger needles
will sow stronger than small needles.
As to thread, he gets tho coarsest he can
find, nnd this ho t'oublcs.
Ho would thread his needle. He takes
tho big needle In one hand, and his coarse,
black thread In tho other; ho bltos off the
thread lo tho desired length; then he tries
to twist II to a fine point.
Generally, In this ho succeeds iu making
two and sometimes three fine oolnts out of
ono end. Of course, ho can't get all these
points through tho needle's ejo at once.
Ho tries hard to mako that nccdlo nnd
thread get on friendly termf with each
other.
Sometimes It Is tho uccdlo that klcksi
sometimes tho thread. Sometimes ho really
Imagines he has threaded his noodle.
It IS an ocular delusion. The thread has
missed tho needle's eye half an Inch.
It Is harder work than sawing wood. At
last the nccdlo is threaded.
Now he tries to sew the buttons on with
out taking off his trousers. This proyes a
failure.
He twists himself Into an uncomfortable
position, and so would sow.
But ho can't sow so. Ho runs tho need-
lo into his lingers and makes an Inaudible
exclamation. Again tho nccdlo slips into
the fleshy part of tho baud, which induces
a yery audible dash from the operatoi. '
Tho recording angel knows what is go
in
on Inside of him, nnd debits him with
every Item.
He sews hard, llo has forgotten every
thing about tho use! of the needle.
Ho jambs his thumb down on tho need
le's head, and it punctures his- thumb or
runs under his nail.
By and by hit sews tho button's eye full
of thread. His big needle don't pass thro'
any more.
Ho must slop. He ends by winding the
threcd as many times as it will go undei
the button, and perhaps ho leaves off with
two or threo Inches of thread sticking nut
side. A woman can, through many outward
Indications, tell when a man has been try
ing to saw on a button. Ho doesn't know
the shibboleth of a needlo and thread, and
It catches somewhere every lime.
At last the button Is sowed on and ho
feels proud of his work.
