simple posy to match, Instead of curry

saw Lr. Maydwell. lie looked older
and rather Jaded; mtit enough, but
certainly not fashionable at all. He
Just glanced at Major Farquharsoti
aud was obviously going to pass on
without even asking me for a dance!
Then It flashed across me that he had
found out, and that he was angry. He
looked quite stern. I dlstnii-ried Major
Farquharson unmistakably: "Ten or
eleven, If I am here." '
Then I held out my hand to Dr.
Maydwell.
"Have you forgotten me altogether?"
He did look stern, but it rather became
him.
"I expected to meet a lady who Is
not here, Miss Belllleld," he began,
yery coldly.
"This sort of thing is not much in

They were just beginning the barn
dance, with that Irritating, persistent
tune. I fixed my eyes on the ttwaylng
figures, some of them so awkward.
There was a lump. in' my throat, and I
really couldn't speak. The remem
"branc of the river at Cherrlngtoii, and
the sunshine on it, came across me.
He had looked so brown and so cheer

was now. He evidently quite meant
-what he said.
"If I ask you to stay and sit out the
barn dance you will, surely. II
want to tell you something."
He acquiesced so idly that I felt all
my courage vanishing. We found a
little room that wa empty, and sat
down. I caught him looking at my
roses, but he pretended he was doing
nothing of the sort. It was he who
began, after all, to the iJisppropriate
accompaniment of the barn dance
music.
"So you were playing In a little com
edy down at Chvrrlngton, aud the Miss
Iif.nt I knew was a purely Imaginary
person? Surely it must be pleasanter
to be the Miss Itellfleld, and to have
all London competing for your favor."
"I wa sick of being myself; that
was why I did it. 1'eople pretended
to like me, and made so much of me,
and I knew It wan merely money,
money."
"And were you successful In finding
out if you were charming enough to
captivate without It" His manner
was chilly sarcasm itself. A memory
of all the things he had ml and
looked overcame me.
"You ought to know," I whispered.
It was dreadful, but you see I saw
now that if he once went there would
. be only misery for me.
ne did not even smile. "You sought
to break a country heart for pastime
ere you went to town," wag his only
rejoinder,
"I think, Dr. Maydwell, you were
masquerading as much as I was, or
else you really have Ix.-come quite dif
ferent; you never talked like that
when we were boating on the Tarn."
"No, I made a fool of myself by talk
ing nonsense; most people do when It
doean't rain In August."
Now, could anything 1e stuplder7
nere was Hugh Maydwell a man who
naa got gold medals in physiology, or
pathology, or something conducting a
conversation os If he had not two
Ideas in his head.
"At any rate, you were very much
more civil to Kitty Bent than you are
to Saranna Bellfield, yet they are one
and the same." -
"Indeed, they are nothing of the

So long as the farmers of Ohio are
