Not A Disfigurement.
By Martha Morris.
M quite too delighted to tee
you, dear," exclaimed Violet
Grant at aha clasped ber
cousin' handa In warm wel
come, "and of course you know that
It's to be quite the biggest bnll of the
year and really, dear, balls are quite
too delightfully new and fresh to me.
Tbey hold some wonderful fascina
tion for me which It la Impossible to
explain."-
Tea, of course, I understand," re
turned Veronica, the blase city cousin,
nd she let her big;, blue, handsome
eyes travel leisurely over Violet, "you
are young and everything is new to
won glitters, as It were, but really
It seems scarcely credible that but a
few months ago you were In the land
f arithmetic and geography, and now
you are 'out' and quite the rage, I
bear."
Violet laughed lightly and ber color
time and went quickly.
Great Indeed were the changes that
bad taken place "just a few months
fego," for during that time Violet bod
grown into an Immensely pretty and
graceful girl. There was a sweet,
refreshing simplicity, a charming win
someness of manner which the worldly-wise
Veronica foresaw would In
evitably prove fatal to mankind as
a whole.
She frowned and Instinctively felt
that this Innocent young cousin of hers
might possibly prove to be a somewhat
dangerous rival. Only a year and a
balf previously Veronica had scoffed
at the proposal of a penniless, though
exceedingly devoted, cavalier, and
naughtily refused to even "bear blm
out," and had Anally swept from bis
presence with the regal air of a queen,
demanding that no further attempt
hould be made to address her on that
Subject.
But it Is the unexpected that Inevit
ably happens, and' It certainty occurred
la this case, for through tbe sudden
death of a wealthy uncle, a "railway
ting," Dudley Maltland bad succeeded I
Jo that personage's vast possessions,
and Veronica, reading; the turn events
had taken, resolved if possible to re
cover, by strategy. If by no other
means, tbe ground the had lost.
Hence her visit to ber aunt's country
house.
"Tou won't mind sharing my room,
will you, dear?" cried Violet, as the
little circle sat and chatted over their
afternoon cups of tea, "you see the
house is literally packed, and "
"Oh, I shan't mind anything," re
plied Veronica, deliberately, "that Is,
provided I have a good time."
"Her beauty," said Veronica to her
self, "If I could only mar that, not per
manently, but Just temporarily, to
prevent ber from attending this ball.
What can what can I do?"
She walked over to the looking-glass.
Bhe surveyed the accessories on the
Oresslng-table. A little accident bap
pens so easily, she mentally concluded,
nd she lifted ber bead with an air
f superiority and self-satlafactlon
characteristic to ber nature. And later
n, when Violet returned to ber room
he was delighted to find her cousin
looking so fresh, and radiant
"What pretty hair you have, child,"
remarked Veronica later.
Violet only laughed.
' "Do you really think sot Mr. Malt
land often declares that It looks as If
I have been playing among the cur
rant bushes, but I think he likes It
just the same," replied Violet, Inno
cently, "Now, mine absolutely will not
urave," said Veronica, slowly, still re
garding her cousin "of course, I
mean not without recourse to pins and
tongs, etc. Naturally curly hair is in
deed something to be right down
thankful for."
"Is It, really?" asked Violet, laugh
ingly.. "It Is." And then both cousins
tspsed Into silence.
Finally the time arrived for both
girls to retire for the purpose of lin
gering long over their respective toll
ts a matter of utmost Importance.
Suddenly there was a loud shriek
f dlsmsy and Violet's loveliness was
marred.
She dashed into ber mother's room
With eyes blinded with scalding tears.
"Look! Ob, look!" she cried, scarce
ly knowing what she said. "I ahan't
be able to go to tM ball! Oh, and I'm
dying to go! Did you ever tee such
av fright before? Veronica did it, but
It wat quite an accident! Do not scold
fcer for it," seeing the look of dismay
n her mother's face, "she is as dis
tressed as I am. Oh, but it does
eem hard; I thall be marked for
jreekt!"
"Bnt, however did It happen, dear?"
ksked Mrs. Grant, as soon as she
"The tongs, dear," replied Violet,
till sobbing. "You see, she was doing
fcer nalr aud the hot tongs sprang
Crom her fingers and struck my facel
It was purely, an accident, but I am
W sorry!"
"So am I, VI" returned the elder
' trenail, "so am I."
.;;arentl7 Veronica was terribly
concerned, but all the sympathy and
suggested remedies were of no avail.
Nothing could possibly erase the ugly
scar from Violet's cheek, and Anally
It was declared that she must forego
the ball, great though the pain of
so doing would be.
"You can write Dudley a little note,
my dear," said her mother, when she
and Violet were alone; "that will be
politic and polite. Von must not let
him think you rude, and you know
you promised blm the waltzes. Toor
chlldl I'm so sorryl"
The respective vehicles accordingly
arrived, and as Veronica kissed ber
cousin good night she bod never looked
more radiantly lovely. Oems of won
derful brilliancy glittered In ber hair,
on her neck end arms. Her dress
was of some rich, soft, clinging ma
terial and she carried herself like a
queen as she swept out of the room
where ber cousin lay upon the bed be
moaning the irony of fate.
Allured by tbe appealing eyes and
coaxing words of bis fair partner,
Dudley Mnltlnnd became the victim
of the moment, and It was not long
ere he was escorting her away from
the throng of merry dancers Into com
parative solitude.
"This ts quite like old times," Veron
ica said as they entered tbe cool con
servatory and sat down.
"Not quite." returned Maltland,
somewhat absently. "Indeed, times
have changed considerably since we
last met."
This was a discordant note, and
Veronica did not feel quite at ber ease.
"I'm so glad you came to-night, Dud
ley," she snld, as though lnvolutorlly
breathing her thoughts aloud.-
Maltland raised bis eyebrows slight
ly, but she foiled to notice that dan
ger signal.
"Why?" be asked, somewhat
brusquely.
"How strangely you speak she re
turned, nervously, "but do you really
care to know?"
"Naturally I am Interested."
Veronica toyed .with the petals of a
rose-bud and her eyes were cast upon
the ground.
"Because I have wnnted to see you,
to speak to you, td tell you how bit
terly sorry I am for my cruel words!
I think I must have been mad!" she
said softly. "I came back to the draw
Ingroora." she went on in the same
tone, while her eyes remained still
downcast, "but you had gone, and I
hove never known a happy moment
since!"
Now, bod Veronica's conscience per
mitted her to look into the eyes of
the man. at ber side, with those won
derful liquid orbs of hers, It Is pos
sible that the fascination of her gaze
might have blinded blm to tbe false
ring of her words, but, as It was, be
felt neither pleasure nor flattered.
"I am sorry If you have been un
happy," he returned, lightly, "but In
these rapid times It does not do to
grieve over the dark and empty past."
Not dark, nor empty," she said.
with mock tenderness and well affect
ed concern; "but tell me. Dudley, have
you forgotten all tbe past?"
A11I" he repeated, suavely, "I sup
pose you mean tbe days when tho
smiles were for others and the frowns
for me. Bah I What a mad-headed
fool I must have beent But you taught
me a lesson, Veronica, and It was well
laid to heart."
"Do not speak of it," she exclaimed
brokenly; "I have told you. Can
you still be sa unforgiving?"
"There Is nothing to forgive," he re
plied; "you certainly seemed to pre-J
i it any society to mine in tne oia
days of wljlch you speak, and I
could never bear you malice on that
score." .
"But, Dudley," she sold, so softly
that ber -words were scarcely percept
ible. "I bave suffered so, truly, I have
seen tbe error of my ways, the magni
tude of my terrible cruelty to you.
Come, say you forgive me, and let ns
be. friends again." -
"No." he returned firmly, even fierce
ly, "that can never be, Veronica. Tou
must not forget that even the most
beautiful and accomplished woman
has no right to play with a man'a
heart as If It were a worthless toy
to be tauen np or cast down at pleas
ure. And. may I ask you to excuse
me now? I bave an Important en
gagement to attend to. Allow me,"
and pale- and trembling in every limb,
Veronica once more entered the ball
room.
Violet had watched the several ve
hicles drive away with eager and tear
ful eyes. How she longed to be among
tbe merry throng! Finally she re
solved to drown her heartache In the
pages of. a novel.
But she could not fix ber mind, try

"Why, Dudley," she almost shrieked,

"I wanted you," he replied tender

"But look at me," she said, shyly)
"I do believe I am disfigured for llfo.
Do you not think to?"

Veronica was silent for a time, her
heart beat too fast.
"There was no one In particular that
I wished to tee," she replied, finally.
"Dudley Maltland was there, but he
was Intlultery disagreeable, and eventu
ally made himself conspicuous by bis
absence."
Violet's face become dyed with
blushes.
"Veronica," sho half whispered, "he
came here. He asked me to marry
him, and
"Asked you to marry him?" repented
her cousin, Incredulously; "I suppose
you said yes."

Otioata Willi No Originality.
When you have rend one of these
stories you have rend them nil. Al
though the behavior of ghosts amy ap
pear eccentric when judged by the
stnndnrd of conduct prevailing among
the living, their habits are, in fact,
most regular, they seem to possess the
little character of originality, and prolu
ably their Ideas are very limited. Some
of them walk along the passage or up
the stairs; others knock on the walls
or furniture, ring bells, slam doors or
break crockery; now md then you
come ocross one who shrieks; and
there seem to be a few specimens who
appear (and disappear). But their fac
ulties do not go beyond this. A very
remarkable proof of their limitations
or their slavish adherence to tradition.
Is that, though I have before me at
the present moment a dozen authen
ticated ghosts who bave been heard
walking upstairs, there seems to be no
case on record In which a ghost has
been Heard walking down. Why any
body should think It worth while to
chronicle the movements of such unin
teresting creatures. I cannot under
stand. An account of the day's do
ings of a flock of sheep would be
very much more exciting. London
