"New, without meaning te hurt you, I must confess that, In my opinion, Mr. Klnwydilcn, jeu have tnken an un fair advantage of my indulgence. I lave you credit, perhaps, for mero acute perception and greater delicacy than would be at all natural for any one with your history." "Se I hcv get a history!" Q mur nured with unimpaired gentleness. "I would be glad te hint, but I see that hinting falls. I have tried te ibew you by inference where I et the limits te your acquaintanceship with my dece, but new I sec that I must be brutally explicit. My dear young friend, you arc net frankly acceptable ti a 6uiter for Ilcleise. She would be amused at your pretensions if she could understand them as I hnve slowly come te understand them. Your purpose in coming te the Maner, I am really forced te believe, has been te win the affec tions of my niece. I abhelutely refuse te countenance such a purpose. Yeu are a man of no education, no family, no breeding, no fortune. It can only, If it gees en, lead you te t,ome far mere painful experience thnn this one. It is easier for you te hear this plain ipcaking from me thnn te hear it even tually from her. My dear Q, already jeu are making her and um the laugh-ins-stock of the place. I shall certuiuly net allow licleine te be talked of or laughed nbeut. Yeu have ether friends, mere suitable, in the town, ether far mere acccs.lblc sweethearts. There! I have certainly Miekcn nfninlv. I hare said, of course, a great deal mera than enough. It has been painful te me. j unci te mnke the lesion thorough and final. I am sure that you will ncier tranxgresi the unwrltten laws of Hospitality in just this way again. Yeu lll probably go back te the West a niter and soberer young man. Keep te your own kind, my dear 6; that's nere jour happiness and comfort lie. And I de sincerely wish jeu all the happiness in the world." She stepped ler a moment, the velvet hand moved l ana uewn as sue swallowed eon een tuWvely.

Seeing that her aunt was speaking arnin, she took down her iituids and, going te a sefn, snt facing her with tight lips and scarlet cheeks, be she listened te n cold, clear recital of the .-vents the preceded Henry's disinheritance. "Have jeu ever seen your Uncle Henry.' One such sight ought te be enough." ,"1'-m. I have seen him. I think he s pathetic and rather beautiful." .Miss Selda laughed. "Your cowlev lms been making a sentimentalist out of you, my clear. It's just as well 1 uuve uiHinisseu mm. ' "I have net dismissed him," said Heloise. "I doubt if after what I said te him he will wait for any further dis missals." "Oh, Aunt Selda! What did you say te him?" Heloise walled. "Enough, I think." Heloise smote enu slim palm with n slim fl-t. She sat thinking nnd with an effort calmed herself. Slle seemed te dismiss ii rer the moment. "I am net sentimental, Aunt Selda," slip began composedly enough. "Yeu ought te knew better. And I never cared a penny really about Mary, until I met her. New I cuu't help caring. it s a case for common justice. I have everything and she has nothing. And yet she is as close a relation te you as I am. And she's se much finer. Mnry Is well, there's something grcut aueuc ner." "Se I hat you would like te play the Lady Bountiful te her, as well aH te 0. ion have a gift for condescension, Lele. I've often noticed It." The phrases stung the girl's tenderest vanities and she moved quickly toward me uoer. "l am going te sec Mary new," she said. "Yeu don't suppose I shall allow you te take the car for such a purpose!" "Very well, I'll walk." "Heloise!" The narrow bands were lifted and fell, their gesture accompanied bj an Incredulous, exasperated note of laughter. "Oli, go by all means! A Ihc-mile walk en a het evening no dinner, a late anil lonely trip home! that should talc some of the conde scension out of j en. Your temper may carry jeu as far as the gate. If It takes jeu any farther, It will mnke a feel of you, nnd that is usually n beneficial experience. Yeu will find jeurself involved in considerable dis comfort, and you will de Mary a very ill turn with me." Peer Little Lamb! "What de you mean? Yeu hnve never done her n geed turn, have jeu? Never intended te de anything for her?" "It is net your business, of course, my dear, but, In justice te myself, I will tell you that at various times I have lent my brother rather large sums through the agency of Dr. Sales." "Yeu mean that Mary thinks he" "Yes, that he has lent them." "Hew perfectly insufferable for her te be under obligations te that man!" Mist Selda flinched, and Heloise, snatching up a wide hut as she went, darted out Inte the dusk. Anger gave a spurring vigor te her steps. What were live miles t her trained young muscles! In Aunt Selda's youth, walk ing was an uinceustemed exertion, but Aunt Selda did net belong te the swim ming, golf-and-tennis-playing, dnnclng generation with which Heleim had been trained te compete. She wulked freely with a tall, lithe swing, nnd anger made her unconscious of her speed. She was in revolution, a red riot of revolution, nnd she gloried in her new sensations. She would dine with her I'nclu Henry, nnd she would telephone te Q and see him at Mnrj'i house. She would de the free, flu", courageous thing. What a pity she hadn't thought of this before, and let Ferdinand run her into town in his machine And. with the name, her feet fiillensi and her iirst speed slacked. She thought of Ferdinand for half an hour without pause, and the night, with its sturs and its heat, the dust of the road side, the faint rushing of the river, became the sultry surging of his passion oppressive, exciting, dangerous, im possible te clean fulfillment. If Aunt fit.(i here Heloise smiled the small smile of Sir Sydney (irlnscoembr hail guessed, she would net se summarily hnve dismissed Q. The watch-deg had been driven away just as the wolf gathered himself te spring! l'oer watch-deg! Or peer wolf! Or per hups rner little lamb! Heloise laughed aloud at her own rhetorical interpre tations of her predicament. She won dered what her arch-eyed cousin Mury would think of nil this confusion of feeling, the deep-down, smothered, will fully ignored bitterness of n past wound, the heat of a present temptation, the inystcileiiH waver of her heart tewaul Q, who, for all his grim strength, was as clean as a mountain wind, 'lhe chained, bewildered, tt niggling heart of the gili stilled Itself niddenly as though bv mention of him she had open, ed the ln'tivj cilltlllis of the night. . tight-lipped, dipp-cjcil-hc- had been hurt, nnd she was te blame.
