DID BOTH OVKUIIEAH IT?
It waa nearly aorviva time on Sunday
aiorolug, and tiie church bulla Ware foil
ing their elivery welcome ou tbe fruity
air. Iluua ami la, clad in fun and vl-
vote and otlmr fomu uf modern purpta
aud Oiu linen, were hurrying to reach
the amice of tlu-lr iVvutlona.
Kiwi.-r Millard waa not dona aoul,
and be did ut liurry lie waa not aura
that ha waa going to cliun-b at all, and
ha aanutrd ltatirly along:, wltu hi
band In hit orerciMt iocttta and bia
big collar turned high arouud hi
throat.
What a world It wa, to be aura, and
what fool but, wliawl that waa all
over now, and be wan glad of It.
At title moment be became aware of
alight figure enveloped la fur coming
down tb onm at met, and they met at
tba corner, Hlie held out her band with
a K"t'ir that beapnke embarraaament
and uncertainty, and he took It gravely.
I twntive, he wit!, "It la quite a year
a! nre aaw you but, Edith.
"Yea, "h aald,
VVlllnrd tiiniwl ami jotntHl hnr In her
walk.
"And 1 believe," lictnitlnuel. "that 1
am very glad to n you."
Ml Arnold waa aili-nt on thla point
"You might, pertiiiiM. any aa imieh."
iikK'-iUh! Millard.
"Are you golugtoi'liurebr aisked Mis
Arnold.
"Well, I don't know, that la, I will go
If you take me with you."
Mlaa Arnold beiltated a moment
"Why, of course, if you like," alio aald.
Why ahoulilu't be like, wondered Mil
Innt A pretty girl, good mimic and lot
of iwoplu? What Jiirori'iire did It make
that onoa atnffl lie bad forgotten all
that, and of coiinwi die bad
"Have yon heard the now rectorr in
quired Mta Arnolil, evidently with an
attempt at conrerwtion.
No, aald Millard. 'I have not been
tliero. I am a hentlien. You are a tuia-
lotrnry. (Vrhn I kin au angtl on.
awana though."
Mia Arnold laughed.
-Thai'- a trifle mixed, lent ItT ah
aid.
"Well, perliap, idtultted Millard.
Tm not up iu that tort of thing."
"Hut you used to go to churcuT
"Ye. 1 did when you took roe. I
have dfgtmerntcd. If yonr theology ad
mit of backaliilinz. I have backelided.
! I am now dinttncily a heathen."
Miaa Arnold laughed again,
"On the contrary, I llilnk yoq hava
tmprovoil. alio mid.
"Abl" aaid Millard, with faint aar
cumiu, "I really wiw not looking for a
compliiiient."
They reached thecliurch anl the oaher
thowed them to a keaL Aliaa Arnold
kneeled on the ctuhlou and leaned her
head on tior litita prayer btxk against
the pew iu front Millard watched her
lilently, aa be had done ao many time
beforo, hho inu'lo a pretty picture
dainty, fur wrapped and dovmit, and
the band that lu-KI the prayer book wit
very amnll IihIiimI. Uii little lock of
hair hud aqoiruied away from roetraiu
ing hairptu and wu curling prettily
near her pink ear, lie foil a curious de
tire to put it in plaue, and then he be
came conaciou of two voice apeaking
behind him iu not inaudible wlitaper.
"Un't that Foster Millard with Edith
Arnold in front of ur asked aomebody.
"Why, aure enough it UP aald aome
body elao. "I thought he jilted him a
year ago."
"Hush, he will hear youP
"They m ii t have, made it np Queer,
bm'titr"
Tlio choir begun to king again, and the
peoplo all roue. Millard heard no more.
Edith held her prayer book np to him.
aud they rt-ud the rcHponsew out of it
Liko thoe (hulie of prnvious exiatenoa
that the philoaophvrt talk about, it all
enme back to lilm intangible, indefinite,
and J'i't familiar, How often ho bad
hoard thut attiooth, full voire, rending
the aiiiuo old, awci't word of the Epiaoo
pal aorviue. tin aeeimid to tnka np the
tlirt'inl of life a year buck, aa if the year
jimt pnwii'tl hail btH'ii a dream from
which ho was now awakening.
The Te Deum wm over and tlioy tut
down again. I'lwently the two women
bohitul begun to, whwper again. Edith
waa ititeut upon the korvice,
"litty bonnet she has," auid ona
"A trifle too high, I think. They any
the threw Howard Chile over too. 1 don't
too what thoao uun Hud In her She it
a perfect flirt,"
"For that reason probably they like
her."
"1 suppose Mr. Millard took it too
cattily, and alio wimts'to dangle biin
agiiin." t
"Dangle him?"
"Yea Ycat know what I mimn keep
him arouud and nbimo him,"
"Hualil I'm ttfrnid he hoard you."
"No, he didn't It would be a good
warning to him, any way,"
Millard moved micwiily, and the whis
per broke oil suddenly He wondered
if Edith bad heard them. Ue glanced at
her, and aha looked su unconscious that
be conuludoa she had not,
The rector had commenced hla sermon
and she wua giving close attention
Millard listened awhile, bnt it did not
Interest him. He teemed to have beard
the Biune sermon a thousand times, and
bia thoughts wandered away into other
oliiumola, TUoy went buck to the days
when he had been wont to rend the re
iponaea out ofaaMth Arnold'a prayer
book, and then he thought of the two
women he hud heard discunsingr hi case.
He looked at Edith tnrreptitiously as
the sat there listening so intently to the
torinon. and ho thought she did not look
like u girl who would cara to "dangle"
any one, tie Knew ne migni oa mis
taken, for he did not claim to know
women. No man does who has once'
thought he did. But certainly she did
not look like a girl of that sort, Ha
knew she bad never teemed so to 1dm,
I vn at the laiifc But tow. v.bn crmH
toilf I'erhap ah would Ilk to "dangl"
him, aa they called it.
fie wondered if ha would Car, and
concluded that b would noti It might
even be pleaaanL rJomethltig Suggested
to him that b might lei ber try, sod ha
favored the auggeatlon.
They rota to ting the last hymn, and
then knelt a moment while the rector
prayed. The organitt played a low,
toli'tnn recessional and the people began
to Hi out.
They paaaed the choir gallery as they
went, and the tenor wa helping toe alto
to put on her fur.
"Mee, aaid the alto, "there I Edith
Arnold, with Mr. Millard in her train
again, Tbey mutt have mad np, You're
not looking at all."
"I have something better to look at,"
