OIIAPTEIl III.
In tho twilight Juno nnd her mother
were Hitting. June wnri by the window,
trying to work In the foiling light.
"Como here, " tny dnrllnjf," until her
mother. "I want to talk to you. It Is
about Tom."
"Has ho been talking to you?" cried
June, Hushing up. "How unfair of him!
lie promised me not to say a word to any
one for nix months."
"Do you want to hare nny secrets from
me?" asked Mrs. Illvers gently.
"Hut," said June, In a troubled mice,
"how can I promise nnythlng when I do
not know my own mind? I like him I
nm very fond of him I wish ho wnB my
brother; but I am Hiiro," with a little In
voluntary shudder, "that I do not lore
Mm."
It was impossible to approach tho sub
ject of Tom uny more that evening, but,
nn Mrs. Itlvcrs had Invited him to como
and hear the result of her embassy, she
felt It absolutely necessary to have some
thing to (ell him, Hhc therefore attacked
Hie subject when June camo Into her room
next morning, and tliu result of tho Inter
view was that Juno promised to weigh
mid consider tho matter seriously for the
next few months, and that on Christians
day slut would cither consent to bo on
Kiiged to Tom, or would llnally tell him
Hint ho must nbandon all hope.
Tom ramo to tho Uoho Cottage In tho
highest spirits and went away crestfallen;
lie had expected wonders from the Inter
cession of June's mother; Indeed, ho had
nlmost dared to hopo that Juno would bo
waiting with smiles nnd blushes nnd her
mind prepared to accept him. Now he
was absolutely not one step nearer than
before. June hnd already promised thnt
nix months hence she would consider tho
mutter; It was the thought of that harass
ing delay, and the uncertainty at the end
of It, which bad prompted his appeal to
Mrs. ItlverH. He was dreadfully morti
fied at what she told him.
Mrs. Illvers felt for him felt, too, as If
hIio had been to blame In not having been
a more successful mediator.
"You must remember, Tom," she urged,
gently, "that Juno Is only eighteen, and
lias seen nothing of life yet."
"I supposo It will never he," he said, at
last, turning with u sigh that seemed to
rend his broad chest.
"I should be sorry If I thought ho," an
nvered Mrs. Illvers. softly. "Hut," with
jiii encouraging Millie, "I cannot share
your gloomy views."
"Is there anything In the world I could
lo to make her like me?" he said.
"You will be rather surprised If I tell
you what your best plan would be."
"Whntr-eagorly.
"Try not to let her see that yon are so
devoted to her."
"I could not act n part," hit answered.
"And surely deceit Ih not the way to a
Kood woman's heart."
Not long afterward Tom took his leave.
lie was going to the rectory to ask his
mint to give him some luncheon; he could
not keep away from June any more than
the moth can help circling round the light.
At first lie walked slowly and with down
cast eyes, hut, as he drew nearer the spot
where his love was, his feet involuntarily
Htepped out faster and hope began to
munolh his milled brow. Just within the
gate he met Agnes, basket ami scissors in
hand, cutting llowcrs. She smiled at him
very sweetly, for she had two smiles, one
when she was really pleased and happy
nnd another when she was spiteful or an
noyed and wished to conceal her feelings.
"I nm so glad you have come," she said,
mid pulled off a garden glou to give him
lier hand, "You won't mind holding this
basket for me, will you?"
Tom took the basket. He always felt
obliged to do what Agnes asked, because,
utterly devoid of vanity though he was,
bo could not help being aware that sho
was fond of him In something more than a
coiwluly way; so he was especially euro
Ml not to slight her.
"y tho way," he remarked, "I have
tirouglit you and Madge a fairing from
l,oiulou. 1 may ns well give you yours
now." And he produced a gold bauglo
wrapped In tissue, paper.
"Oh, Tom, how kind you are!" said Ag
nes, "You never forget any one. How
bountiful! It Is really too nuich."
Hut all the time she was jeulously won
dering what he had brought Juno; for, If
June's present wero hnndsomer or costlier,
it would take all the pleasure out of hers,
rut It on my urm," she said; and then,
looking up and letting a little tremor steal
into her voice, she murmured:
"You know, dear Tom, how I shall prize
this."
"Oh," replied Tom, briskly, "It U quite
a trltle. I am glad you like It. I'll go and
find Mndge nnd give her hers."
Tom hurried to the spot where Juno and
Madge were playing lawn tenuis. Madge
greeted him with loud welcome, June was
a trltle distnut. She wished him to know
that site was displeased nt hU having pre
sumed to speak to her mother, nnd he no
ticed the change In her manner, guessed
the cause of It, and, foolish fellow, was
much cast down and humbled.
"Here, Madge," he said, presenting hU
offering "hero Is something for you from
lioudon."
Msdge uttered a scream of delight, and,
without further ceremony, thing her arms
round her couslu and kissed him,
"Oh, you dear, sweet, delicious Torn!"
she cried, "How truly hearenly of youl
I will never, never take It off as long ns
live, not even to wash, and It shall bo
(urled with me." Then, with startling
suddenness, "What have, you given Ag
uesAnd June?" Aud sho caught both
Tune'a wrists to see If cither were similar
If jUrwed.
"Tom brought me a locket," said June,
blushing n little.
It hnd been decided by her mother thnt
she might keep It, but had better not
wear it for the present.
"Then, why haven't you got it on, you
ungrateful wretch?" cried Madge. "Or,"
susploJonsly, "perhaps you have, Inside
your frock."
Tom's heart beat a shade faster. How
ho would like to think of his offering ly
ing nestling against her fair neck!
Hut June shook her bond.
CIIAPTKK IV.
One morning, about a fortnight later,
Madgo wan careering down tho road to
the Itosc Cottago to meet June. Almost
before her cousin came within earshot
Mndgo shouted out, "I have seen himt"
nnd when she arrived within reasonable
distance, she continued, still In a high
key:
"I hnvo seen the lovely sernphl"
"Well," said June, in her usual voice,
"and what Is ho like?"
"I deeply regret to say," she answered,
grudgingly, "thnt ho Is good-looking, ami
that lie does not resemble a hair dresser's
dummy. Hut," reflectively, "I have al
ways from tho first moment Intended to
call him I.n-dl-da, and I shall, whether
It's appropriate or not."
"Oh I" snld June, looking rnthcr disap
pointed. Hho had quite made up her
mind not to like Mr. Hroke, because she
considered that he stood in Tom's light
nnd wns a sort of treacherous Jacob in
diverting Mrs. Kllesmere's nffectlons from
their legitimate course. ,
Later In the morning, when the cousins
were engaged on a French exercise, Ag
ues being ulso of the party, Mndgo looked
up suddenly and snld:
"I say, June, I wish I wan going to dine
nt tho Hall to-night. It will be awful fun,
I expect."
June rested her chin on her hand re
flectively. "I don't know nbout fun," she answered.
"I think I shall feel dreadfully nervous,
as I hnvo never been to a real dinner
party before."
"Don't you think you hnd better go on
with your exercises?" snld Agnes, acidly.
"Hother oxorelseHl" retorted Madge,
plunging both hands Into her curly head.
"There Isn t a dinner pnrty at tho Hall
every night. Juny, I wonder if La-di-da
will take you in to dinner? Tom can't, of
course."
"I suppose," remarked Agues, looking nt
June with what Madge called her croco
dile smile, "Tom will be cast off like an
old glove now."
"Why?" asked June, looking her cousin
full in the face.
"Oh," returned Agues, "people who are
so fond of excitement and fresh faces
generally treat old friends like old gloves. "
A Hash came into June's eyes nnd u
slight tremor to her voice, always n sure
sign with her of rising temper,
"I think that Is a very poor simile nt the
best," she said. "People generally dis
card old gloves when they have done with
them. I never heard It was a virtue to go
on wearing them after they were torn or
dirty."
"Yes," echoed Mndge, "and Tom Isn't
likely to get old, or torn, or dirty."
"And," continued June, now thnt her
blood was up, "I think a person must have
a very small heart or mind who can only
like or be amused by one friend or, one
set of Ideas."
"As this Is supposed to be lesson time,"
said Agues, coldly, "I think It would be
more conscientious to work than to ar
gue." The evening arrived, and June, equip
ped for her Hrst dinner party, was uwalt
lug with nervous Impatience tho ml rent
of her uncle's carriage. She was to go
with Mr. and Mrs. Itrynn Kllesmere nnd
Agues, her mother Inning declined the
luvllntlon on the score of her. health.
How June's heart beat as she entered
the drawing room with Agnes in the wake
of the elder pair, and limy Tom's face
beamed with pride and delight at the
sight of his dear love looking mnro beautl
ful than he hud ever seen her look! Not
even the transient disappointment of re
marking that she did not wear his gift
could mar his joy at sight of her.
True to tho part sho had laid down for
herself, Juno smiled at Tom, nnd looked
In his face with so kind an expression
thut he was In a seventh heaven. Home of
tho guests, seeing this, snld tojheuiselves
there wits no doubt how matter stood be
tween the young people; mid June, who
was more ardent than judicious lu her
companionship, would have Iteeu quite
content to know that she was thought to
lie fond of dm. She tried not to see Mr.
Hroke, but, when Tom wns forced to leave
her to greet bouio now arrivals, she In
voluntarily glanced In his direction, and
met his eyes full. Instantly she averted
her own, uud wns miserable to feel the
sudden mantllug of blood in her checks.
Oh, how furious she wns with herself, aud
how helpless hhc felt!
The party went In to dinner. Mr. Hroke
did not take June, but wna placed on her
other side, seeing which, she kept her face
sedulously averted from him, nnd talked
with tho greatest apparent Interest to her
neighbor, every now and then shooting a
kind glunce at Tom, which ho luvuriubly
met aud returned with urdor.
"I urn' not going to be won over by this
Adonis; have no fear on that score," said
her eyes; nnd Tom, though not a thought
reader, translated her look and felt his
heart swell with happiness.
Toward the end of diuuer, by an acci
dent which June deeply deplored, she let
her. fun fall on tho side of Mr. Hroke,
aud In a moment ho had stooped, picked
It up aud presented It to her. She could
uot but tbauk blta and look gracious, and
he, liavlux one attract! her attention.
US' not mean to lose It again Just yet
Ho had seen thai she wished toaVold
him, and, being, unaccustomed to such
treatment, was piqued. ' .
. "What a charming old place 4hls Is!"
he, aaid, plunging into conversation with
the first remark thnt occurred to him; nnd
Juno replied by the monosyllable "Yea."
"I had no Idea It was bo pretty," contin
ued tlKTOuardsman. "You know I have
not been here for nges not Blnce I wns
quite n little chap. There was a family
quarrel or something, nnd my mother
nnd Aunt VI didn't speak for years. You
are don't think mo Inquisitive but you
nre' a sort of cousin of Tom's, are you
not?"
"No," nnswered June. ''His uncle nnd
nunt nre mine, ami that makes us forget
sometimes that we are not actually re
lated." "What a good chap he is!"
"Yes," she answered, with enthusiasm,
"thnt he is. Wo missed him so dreadfully
when ho wns awny, and we were so de
lighted when he came back."
Tom, as soon ns he entered the drawing
room, went straight to June. Duty made
no more calls upon him for the present;
now he could take his pleasure. So ho
marched boldly Up and But down bcsldo
her, and she welcomed him with her kind
est glance, nnd perhaps was not nny moro
aware than Tom that she was acting.
"How nice you look!" ho whispered,
with a gnzc of devouring admiration
"much nicer than any one else here. I
wish you had worn tny locket, though.
Hut you will some day," In a happy, con
fident tone.
"Hush!" nald June, smiling, but Invol
untarily feeling a little shock of coldness.
"You must nil como up and play lawn
tenlns to-morrow afternoon Mndge, too.
I have got another court mnrked out; and
when Jack comes home" (the rector's on)
"wo nre going to have a cricket match.
Dal was In the Eton eleven, you know."
"What nn Admiral Crlchton your
cousin seems to bel" remarked Juno, with
the neurcBt approach to n sneer which. she
had ever accomplished in her life.
"Come, you must not set yourself
ngnlnst him," snld Tom. "Thnt would be
nlmost ns bad as If you liked him too
much."
(To be continued.)
NO WONDER SHE KILLED IT.
A Mischievous I'nrrot Thnt Doomed a
Yoiiiik Olrl to He nn Old Mold.
And bo you never heard why Miss
Elden killed the parrot? snld the kind-'
ly old Intly to a reporter. Well, I'll
tell you.
MIhs EUlen'a father, you know, hnd
lcen n seafaring man. He wna n big
ninn, hnd n hot temper thnt ho never
curbed, nnd n voice like n fog hum.
He wna uot choice of his language nnd
seemed to enro little for anything In
existence except his daughter nnd n
parrot with a temper like his own,
which he hnd brought with him from
tho Kant. That bird seemed to have
human intelligence. It not only pink
ed uit sentences with tho case of most
children, but uttered them In the tone
of those from whom they had been
learned. It could Imitate them nil.
Ah n young girl Mlsu Elden was very
pretty, thoiigh n llttlo self-willed nnd
haughty. Hecnuse of these qualities
and becnuso tho captain thought no
one wan good enough for tier, none of
tho young men found things very com
fortable for them at her home. The
captain thought nothing of making
them get out nnd stay out. At length
she rebelled ngiunst this way of trout
lug her beatix, for her chances of mar
rying were dwindling. In tho city sho
hail met a very deslrnble gentleman
and they were so congenial thnt ho
came out heio to spend a few days so
ns to be near her. lie went to tho
housu with hoiuu fear, for the captain
bad a reputation. They wero scarcely
seated on thu veranda when that bird
roared: "(Set out of here, you kcoiiii
drel, or I'll break every Ikhio In your
body." Tho youth nover waited for
his lint and before morning was out
of town. She promptly wrung tho
bird's ueck, but that wna her last
beau.
