OrtOTTON All Itoso's girl frlonds told her that sho would havo troublo when sho bo came ongaged to tlox Henrlk. "IJoforo you como bnck from your visit," said ono girl, "ho flirted out rageously with ovory girl In tho neigh borhood." Dut Itoso only smllod and said'. "That is all right. I was not ongagod to him then, you know," Itoso had her own personal one tnlos. A pretty girl genorally has moro or less enemies as sho Is apt to arouse moro foes than friends. Itoso was a charming little blonda with bright winsome ways and sho had won tho most desirable young man of tho neighborhood. At tho doath of his undo, Ilex Hen rlk had becomo heir to a large farm In Monroo. Ho had settled down and astonished tho friends of his youth by his skill in farming, and his engage ment to proty Hoio Drown. Itoso had ono acquaintance who was far from friendly toward her. Helen Dray had always been Jealous of hor, and did not try to covor or conceal her tool ings. "I bavo a plan," shs said suddenly ono day to sevoral girt friends, as they stood at hor gats, chatting. "I havo a cousin who Is throe years old er than I, Sho Is a handsomo bru noflo and I guess with n good deal of coaxing I can induco her to como and make mo a visit If I can," sho said dotormlnodly, "Itoso Ilrown wanta to watch hor beau. loin Davenport wilt flirt with him in splto of hor." Sho rave hor hood a toss nnd Inughcd light 1 as ihu turned and walked Into tho nouso. The girls watched nnd wnlud for tho coming of Melon's cousin ono night when she nrrlvod, nnd appeared at a danco that was being given by tho young folks In tho Town hall. Sho was very pretty In hor white silk Admiring Her Own Dark Besuty In tho Reflection. i gown with n bunoh of big rod roses upon her bosom, but no on there I mfide her more welcome nor praised I her beauty more than lloae Ilrown. I "You will spend the summer hern i with us, of course?" asked Itoso al most Immediately after her Introduc tion to (ho beautiful brunette. "Thnt depends," laughed loin Daven port lightly, "on how well I enjoy mysolf." "I am sure wo will all try to make your visit pleasant," returned Hoio readily. "Wo want to mako you fool thnt you would llko always to stay with us, hero." She smiled sweetly as she spoke, whlla soma of the oth ers, knowing whnt they did, wondered at tho way In which Hose received her rival. Always, Hoso planned every pleas ure for her friend, Miss Davenport, who received them with her usual gra clousness. Never before wero there so many picnics nnd dances as wore planned during that short summer, and Hose was as gay as her rival was gracious, and carolossly loft Hex In tho company of tho charming loin. "It seems strange that Hoso cannot see that Hox is actually becoming quite attentive to lola Davenport," more than one of Hose's friends was hoard to romnrk, lola Davenport soon saw tho situa tion herself. "She either does not care, or she feels sure of him," she thought, and as the short summer days fled swiftly, sho still lingered among them, ' I might do worse than marry Hex!" she said musingly ns she stood before her mirror, admiring hor own dark beauty in the reflection. "Ho has money enough, so they all say, but I could not and would not mope my life out In misery here In this town. We will go to tho city to llvo. I nevor was Intended for a farmer's wife, anyway, and I don't Intend to be long!" she added decidedly, ns sho began to arrange hor hair. At home In her room, poor little Itoso Ilrown sat gating out of the win dow with tearful oyes and hoavy heart. "I hopo that I havo not dono wrong In placing them togethor so much," sho said softly to bersolf. "I merely wanted to test Hex. I am afraid that I have lost him now, forever, and It seems ns It my heart would break. I lovo htm so, but t want all his love or nono of It, and that is why I did It" Choking back her sobs, she tried to forget Rex Henrlk stood in the opon door ot his big farmhouse nnd looked away over tho wide spreading fields, rlpa with ready harvest; but his thoughts wero not thoro. "Confound Itl" ho rnuttorod moan Ingly to himself, "I don't sea what makes Rose avoid mo so much and leave me to that lola Davenport! I cannot stand It any longer, and I shall speak to her about ft It she goes with us on the ride tomorrow, I like lola trU aoujh, but Rose U the oulr wom m an 1 want for a wife, and sen ought to know that I would llko a little of her company occasionally." As ho spoko, he sighed, nnd went off to his work with a heavy heart This rldo was a regular event with tho young folks every summer whon tho first touches of nutumn wero in tho air. With lunch sproad out bo noath somo grand old trees, bosldo a babbling brook, they sat and talked and mado morry, Tho following day was favorably fair, and they started off In groat spir its, with Ilex Henrlk driving his pair ot big bay horses hltchod to his buck board, and with lola Davenport sit ting chatting bosldo him. Itoso Drown contented horsclf with a scat behind. Hoso kept tho tears from showing In hor oyes, but It was with an effort that sho carried on an Indifferent con versation and Inughcd ns lightly as any one about hor, white Ilex, un known to her, wns mildly cross with tho brunette beauty bosldo him, for having usurpod tho placo ho Intonded for Hose. He hardly hoard hor con stant chatter, nor saw hor gracious glnnces meant only for him. At last they renched tho end of their rldo and woro toon busy spreading out their lunch on tho grnss. Aftor thoy bad eaten all thnt lay bofore thorn thoy scattered nnd strolled about tho woods nnd fields for nn hour or so before tho roturn homownrd. With heavy, nchlng nnd anxious heart Roio mnnsged to Blip silently away by horself and, sitting down upon a big mossy log bosldo the brook, sno covared her fftce with hor hands and crlod softly to horsolf. She was startled suddenly by n step beside hor, and glancing up quickly sho saw Hox standing beforo hor looking nt hor with tho lovo light showing strong er than sho hnd evor seen It bofore In his eyes, sho blushed confusedly as sho roso to her foot, nnd began to walk away. He stepped quickly for- ward and seized her almost rudoly in his arms and drew hor to him. "Why have you wahdorcd off hero all alone" he nuked anxiously, as ho lookod down Into her tearful eyos. "Ilecause " sho stammered slowly, "I thought you wantod to havo her all to yoursolf," sho replied readily, "Who 7" ho domnnded decidedly, "loin Davenport!" returned Roso. "I thought thnt you woro tired of me nnd wonted only her," sho said sob blngly. "Do you think thnt I care for hor tola Davenport!" demanded Rex al most desperately, and then ns sho sim ply ropllod by towing hor head, ho wont on, "I do not You should bo tho first to know that Hoso," ho eald seriously, "Sho has fairly forced her company upon mo and I was wanting only you all tho tlmo, swoethoart" Ho bont and kissed her. "Oh, Hoxl" murmured Roso hnpptly. "I was tho ono to blamo all tho tlmo. I put her beforo me simply to try to test you, and I thought I had broken my own heart Hut you havo stood tho tost nobly and I lovo you now moro than ovor for I know now that you nro all mlnol" she said seriously. That fall, oven while tho leavos were falling softly and tho hnrvosts wero being gatherod homo, thoro was a quiet wedding In tho little neigh borhood and lola Davenport was a bridesmaid. WHAT IS "MAN ABOUT T0WN71 Indlvldusl Hard to Describe Out Wh. Is the Ruin of the Real Qohemlan Restaurant. Ono of the sights that nobody ha. over soon Is that of h man saying gravely, "I nm n man nbout town." It Is n weird phrase, extremely oxpress Ivo nnd extraordinarily Indefinite, so much so that a Now York wrltor nl most had to glvo up nn attempt to de fine It "A mnn about town," ho wrote at last In a sort of despair, "Is tho kind of man who, whon a raid is mado on tho faro saloon nnd ho is there by i,iltiVn lli'Mn n rlfrnr.
