CO., Columbus, Ohio. BY SPECIAL DESIRE I always thought her a pretty girl, and sweet and charming; but, from her own account, there seemed to be s0 many people in love with her al- ready that I thought personally 1 should do much better by merely maintaining a friendly interest in her. Besides, I always knew that if ever I 41d fall ia love it would be with quite another sort of girl— some one who would be much more prepared to render me homage than to expect it as her own due, which was Miss Courtenay’'s way of going through life. Still, in spite of her many airs and graces, which rather amused me than otherwise, we re- mained good friends on the whole, and I am sure I gave her no possible excuse for thinking that I was one of her latest vctims, for the simple reason that I had not in any sense succumbed to her fascinations, and never pretended to disguise the fact. I had now known ner for quite a long time. I should say it was about gix months from our first meeting. At our last meeting, which had been the day before yesterday, I had in- troduced a great friend of mine to her—DBertie Beauclere. He was a tall, handsome fellow—no brains, certainly, but still the sort of type that I felt pretty sure would appeal to her. She really did seem to ‘ake an ardent fancy to him, which -as another proof of my estimation of her character was a fairly correct one. I judged her to be frivo.ous with superficial show rather than a woman to love a man for his steriing worth, which is really the only kind VY She Invited Me to Work. of woman I should ever feel in- clined to love myself, for I don’t set much store by blue eyes and a pink and white skin. It is the beauty of the heart and mind that appeal to me far more. 1 think, as a matter of fact, that there are a good many men like my- self, so that, when she used to en- large to me sometimes upon her con- quests, I invariably discounted half she said. I didn’t believe she had a tithe of the success she made out. Here was I, for one, quite unscathed. It was really astonishing to me to see the way Beauclere made up to her, and I began to think there might be something in her charm after all. But then, “if she be not fair to me, what care I how fair she be?” : All the same, I felt vexed 1 had introduced Bertie to her I didn't want to see her make a fool of my best friend. I didn’t want to see her make a fool of herself, either, and the way she encouraged his idiotic compliments was a revelation to me. I had taken it for granted that she was a coquette, but I had never act- ually seen her in the role before, and I didn’t know how these things were done until then, and I learnt a good lesson that afternoon. Bertie fetched and carried for her like a dog, and the other men seemed to go down like ninepins, too. I had really meant to look after her a little myself, but I realized my forethought was quite superfluous. The next day I thought I would call on her and have a chat I found her in what she is pleased to call her garden. She invited me to take my coat off and get to work. She seemed to enjoy my embarrass- ment at such an invitation. How- ever I complied and after a few commonplace remarks I began to talk of the matter uppermost in my mind. “You and Beauclere seemed to hit it off pretty well. I always thought he liked a bit of bluestocking—in fact preferred brains to beauty.” “You don’t think me clever, then?” she asked. 'I didn’t say that exactly. I think you are clever in your own way.” “But you think my beauty is in excess of my brains?” “We won't say beauty,” I depre- cated ‘That is a word only applica- ble to Greek goddesses. But you're certainly sweetly pretty.” “Oh,” she said, with her eyes down, “you think me pretty, then?” “] wasn’t giving you any personal opinion,” I replied, guardedly, “put what seems to be the gener- ally accepted one.” “I don’t know much about that,” she said with a toss of her head. “Mr. Beauclere thinks me quite beautiful and clever.” “Beauclere’s an ass!” I said hastily. And then, feeling fright- ened at the ominous silence which ensued, I enlarged my sentences by adding, “Why, he went down with- out a degree!” “Perhaps he didn’t want one. I'd sooner have a straight nose thaa a degree any day,” she retorted scorm- fully. “And scarcely any ome here kzows you are a valedictorian, though I'm surs I've told scores of people.” I rubbed my mose ruefully. Iam forced to admit i is distinctly of tke Wellingtonian order. “It was nice of you to trouble to tell people,” I said dubiously. “I'm sure you meant it kindly. £ut what- ever made you do that?!” “Oh, I felt bound to say some- thing in your defence. At that gar- den party yesterday, as you were walking past, a girl I know said: “Who is that awk—' Perhaps I'd better not tell you what she thought herself. “It might hurt your feel- ings.” I laughed. *No.. Tell me.’ * 'Phat awkward, plain looking man, who is going about as if he thought all the women were in love with him?" *” I roared. “pid she think that out loud?” I asked. “I believe I can guess who the girl was.” “No, you can’t guess,” she said crossly. ‘because I shan’t tell you. Naturally when I saw the impres- sion you were creating I had to say out loud you were a valedictorian, as much for my own benefit as hers. It was a sort of excuse for you.” “And did it satisfy her?” I asked, admiring the way she spoke of bher- self in the third person. : “It was a consolation,” mitted. “I ghouldn’t have thought Venus stoed in need of consolation ith Adonis at her feet, not to speak of other admirers.” “You seem to think, she sald, pouting, “that I couldn't win love if I tried, or even if I didn’t try.” “If one tries,” I said sententious- ly, “one can get most things one wants.” “But of course you wouldn't fall into the trap,” she asked merrily. “Leave me out, please. We sot- tied that question long ago.” “Oh, I'm fairly satisfied with my presress since then,” she returned airily. "er assurance was really amusing. ‘ You're quite welcome scalp when you get it,” I returned, smiling. “Oh, no,” she sald, shaking her head, “it’s too clever a one for me to know what to do with! You are <0 clever,” she went own, wistfully .ooking at me. “I didn’t under- stand your last speech at the debate at all. You'll explain it to me some day, won't you?” She drew near, and the look became coaxing. “I'm not clever!” I declared, feel- ing flattered by her appreciation. “I’m only a dogged sort of individ- ual.” “Well, perhaps I'll have a try on my own account,” she said, throw- ing herself into a chair, “‘only you must give me facilities.’ “What am I to do?’ I asked her. “You mustn't use long words which I don’t know the meaning of, and which only confuse me, and you must unbend a little and mee. me on my own ground. And you mustn't wear a blue tie even if you have got blue eyes, because I llke a red tie with a nice brown skin. And if you come to see me to-morrow I'll tell you if you've got the right color.” When I got home I looked in the glass with a sudden dislike for my blue tie. I bought a scarlet oue, feeling sure she was right. I should never have thought of it myself; but then women understand these things so much better than men— she has such taste. I shaved myself carefully next day, ecritielzing my sunburn, and wondering if she real- ly meant I had a nice brown skin. The bright colored tle, so different from my usual sober tints, raised me in my own estimation, and I sallied forth with a feeling of assurance’ bern of it. It was still early, and I found her in the study arranging some flowers. My spirits were dashed by her recep- tion of me. “You don’t seem to say you really walked through the town in that tie?’ she asked. +''Yes, 1 did,” I sald, feeling wor- ried. “Don’t you like it? I thought you told me to get a red tie.” “Yes, but I never thought you would for my telling,” she returned. “What ever made ‘you do that?” “Goodness knows!’ I responded. Then I laughed awkwardly. “I think I can give you a reason, such as it is. It has just dawned on me. I'm like all the rest, I suppose. I love you!” “Oh,” she said, with a complacent little smile, ‘‘that was in the pro- gramme I mapped out for you.” “And you'll love me, too, won't you?” I said, coming up to her and leaning my hand on the back of her chair as I put the momentous ques- tion. “Oh, no!” she said, looking down. “I'm not going to love you. That wasn’t in my programme at all.” “Couldn’t you include it,” I said, “by special desire?” “Whose desire?” quickly. ‘‘Mine.” . “I don’t believe,” she said, trac- ing a pattern on the tablecloth, ‘that you really do love me.” “I'll try to prove,” I sald, you must give me facilities.” “What do you call facilities?” “Weil,” 1 said, putting my arm around her waist, “this would be one.” “J—1I don’t mind giving that one,” she said hesitatingly. “It is quite sufficient,” I declared, “to encourage me to take the rest.” ——San Francisco Bulletin. she ad- wistful she asked “only to my § ‘BIREY AND THE “DUSHE” Ané She Scon Learned “What They Were Walting For” When it was more expedient t® evade a question than to give a defin- file answer Disraeli could do so with consummate tact. A story illustrative of this is told in'the “Memoirs of Mary Duchess of Teck.” The great statesman was fond of the princess and admired her grasp of political problems; but he never allowed himself to be charmed into telling Cabinet secrets. One even- ing at dinner, during a crisis in foreign affairs, Princesse Mary, who Was puz- gled at the inaction of the govern- ment, turned to him and said: “What are we walting for, Mr. Dis raeli?” The Prime Minister paused for =a moment to take up the menu, and, looking at the Princess, gravely re- plied: “Mutton and potatoes, madam.” ————————————————————— “The Latest Books.” The Masquerader.
