OIIAPTIOIt V.
It hud l)ccn nrrnngod tlmt Agnes,
Mndjje nnd Juno were to bo up to the
llnll for tea nnd Inwn tennis tlio next
afternoon, nnd tlmt her cousins were to
cnll for June In the pony enrrlngc. She
cnme'trlppltiB out of the door ns they
drove up,
Arrived nt the Unit, the cousins were
requested to Join the pnrty In the Harden,
and found Mm, KlleHincrc nnd her KiieHts
nlttlnK under the trees. Tom's Mb form
loomed In the dlstnnce; ho wns doing
something to one of the nets. Dnllns snt
on a unrden sent lieslde Mrs. Kothcrston,
n guest from London, tnlklng to her In nn
engrossed manner. The moment, how
ever, Hint lie been me awnre of the new
arrivals, he left her nnd went forward
to greet them. He looked hnndsomer
thnu ever to-day, In his white llnnncls,
with tho pnle-bluo Hton sash nnd tie,
strnw lint nnd llrlgndc ribbon.
"I will stnrt the first party," wiiispercci
Tom to June. "You will piny with me,
won't yon?" , , .
"Of course I will," answered June, who
linil recommenced her tactics of last night,
and whs spenklnjr to and looking at her
lover In her softest manner.
Bo Tom flow off nnd paired the two
young Indies staying In the house with the
on of n neighboring rector nnd u mnn
who wns of tho Hull party, nnd returned
In triumph.
. "Now," ho snld to Juno, "you nnd I will
piny Dnl nnd Mndgej then wo shall bo
about equal."
"Cnnnot wo do without Mr. IlrokoJ
sked June. "Ilccnuse, he Is so much en
gnged, It would be n pity to disturb him.'
"Oh, he wunts to play, nnd we must
linvohlm."
"Does not Mrs. Ketherston piny?
"No; she says she hates romping. Wall
houtvd Tom. ....
Dallas looked up, but did not move for
A moment. It wns evident his comuiiuloii
wns urging him not to play.
"Let him off for hnlf nn hour. Mrs.
Ketherston, won't you?" said Tom, nolng
up to her, nnd she, raising her eyet-iows,
answered stlllly:
"Certainly; altogether, If he likes.
!.nwn tennis mny be plnyed gracefully
or ungrneefullj nine times out of ten It
Is certainly the latter. In tho set now
made up, the spectators had uu opportu
nity of reelng both styles of performance!
DallaH nnd June were graceful in the ex
treme, moving with the utmost rapidity,
yet never looking awkward; their eyes
sparkled with excitement, there wns a
bright color In their faces. A man stand,
lug near Mrs. Kllesmere nnd watching the
gome whispered to her that lie had rare
y seen so handsome or so well matched a
couple. Him asHeuled to his remark with
n smile. ...
June wns quite ready to depart when
Agues proposed it, In spite of Tom's earn
est entreaties.
"I'm going to get up a bit of n dance
to-morrow," lie whispered, ns he was es
cortlng her to the pony carriage. "We
can make up about six couples.
June's eyes glistened.
"Hut you don't dunce, Tumi she snld.
"Well," he answered, his honest face
Illumined by n broad smile, "I'm not such
n dog In the manger that, beeuusu I can't
do u thing myself, 1 won't let anybody
else."
"Hut," snld June, fenrful of counting
In vain upon such nn Immense pleasure,
"perhaps your mother won't Invito me."
"Won't she?" said Tom, slgulllcantly.
"Look out for n nolo ui icn suarp to
morrow morning."
"You really nro an angel," observed
June, affectionately, nnd Tom was, hap
pily for himself, unconscious that tills
midden wnrmth on her part arose from
Joy at the anticipation of n pleasure In
which lie could not take part.
June could scarcely sleep that night for
the delicious anticipation of the morrow.
Hhe woke early, nnd, unuble to rest, rose,
dressed herself, nnd went out Into the
Burden. It was only seven o'clock then.
June has been twice round the garden,
lias gathered a bunch of roses nod n dotcu
lilg struwberrles In n cabbage leaf for
her mother's breakfast, and, having car
ried them Indoors, has come out itgniu nnd
Htrollcd n little away down the lane. And,
behold I there Is Tom on hi big bay horso
riding toward her.
"Why, June! you nre up itotlmesl" he
cried, In hi cheery voice, all hi face
aglow with smiles.
Rho went up to him, put her slim fingers
In III, and stroked tho glossy ueck of
King Charlie,
I niiilit not sleen." she snld, with ra
diant eye. "I could not sleep for thinking
of the dance to-night. Oh, Tom I have you
t.. ...It ti.w Itivtfnttnil?'!
"My mother I in bed and nslecn as
yet," laughed Tom, "but, my dnrllng,
what doubt can you have alKiut It, wlieu
I got It up on purpose for you?"
"Oil, Tom," cried the girl, Bitddonly be
thinking of Madge, "I Mndgo to bo In
vited, too? Oh, do try to get her ked.
It would lw such a treat for herl"
"Of course she hnll," ho answered,
good-naturedly,
"Thank you, 'J
Tom. You are a dear,
good Tom."
And Juno gavo him such a smile that
it sent Ideas to his brain which she wns
far from Intending it to do. He laid his
bis brown hand on her little whlto one
that lay like n lily on King Charlie's neck.
uvi.li rrt ivclnuiiiK to euro a little bit
wore for me, arou't you?" ho said, drop
ping his voice. .... ,
The color stolo to Juno's cheek, and an
Maeasy seuaatlou to her heart.
'Oood-by," eho said, "I must bo goto
"t rode away with a blithe heart; ho
other mnn on enrth. She hod not nn
swered him, but "silence gives consent."
Evening enme. Ilnlf-pnst nine saw
June nnd Mndgc In the rector'H broiighnm
driving up to the Hall, the gladdest, mer
rlest, most excited maidens posBlblo to
behold.
"Oh, you dnrllng, darling Juno!" cried
Mndgo, "If It were not for spoiling your
frock nnd your flowers nnd mine too, I
would glvo you such a hug. Tom told me
It wns nil your doing. Agnes did nil she
could to prevent my going, but Tom got
hold of mamma on the quiet nnu mnue
lier promise."
Tom Is waiting nt tho door to receive
them. Dnnclng Is to tnkc plnce In the
hull, which Is lofty nnd spnclous nnd hns
a polished onk floor of glassy smoothness.
Already there Is n squeak of a fiddle get
ting Into tune, nnd the two girls' hearts
throb responsive.
As June was standing beside Tom,
flushed nnd lovely with excitement, Dal
las Hroke came up to her.
"You will glvo me a waltz, won't you?
ho snld, persuasively; nnd June, who wns
too happy to 1 cold or disdainful to nny
one to-night, replied that she would bo
very happy.
"The second?"
And she nssented.
"Ah, my dear old chap," snld Dnllns,
laying n friendly hand on Tom's nrm, "1
hnvo one pull over you. Miss HI vers, why
don't you mnke him lenrn to dnnco?"
Hnppy us she was, Juno felt a slight
sense of vexation nt Mr. Hroke's manner.
8ho wished he would not always look and
speuk n b though she were Tom's prop
erty. The quadrille wns over, tho music of'
the first waits had commenced. June's
partner this time was the son of n neigh
boring rector. Ho wns a Httlo rough In
his paces, but June had an extraordinary
facility for adapting herself to nlmost any
Btep nnd nny pnrtner. When they mndo
their first pause, Dallas and Mrs. Feth
erston had the floor to themselves. Ev
eryone wns watching thorn. Their move
ments were the perfection of ease and
grace; such a lover of dancing ns Juno
could not look nt them without ndnilrn
tlon, oven though it occurred to her that
there wns rather more ubandon In Mrs.
I'Vthcrston's style than wns quite decor
ous. They stopped. Dnllns looked down
Into his parlner's eyes nnd whispered
something; she nnswered him In kind.
Juno felt n sudden spasm of anger flit
through her heart; she told herself that It
was ilne to a sense of outraged propriety.
Exquisitely ns Dallas danced, she decid
ed with n sudden Impulse that she did not
want to dunce with him. He wns not
nice; she would rather not dnnco, tnlk,
or have anything else to do with him.
Tom came to her when the waltz was
over; the rector's son made way for him.
"Tom," she whispered, "take me Into
the conservatory. I want to get nnother
flower. These nre crushed."
"All right, come ulong," snld Tom, glv-1ml-
her his nrm.
He gnthered her a rich cluster of crlm
mm geraniums, and sho fastened It In her
dress.
"How are you enjoying yourself?'" ho
asked, and June replied;
"Immensely."
"You are going to dnnco tho next with
Dnl," he snld. "I shnll come nnd hnvo n
look nt you. I hear tho music Is'glnnlng."
"I don't particularly cure about dnnclng
with Mr. Hroke," uttered June, loitering.
At tills moment he came to look for her.
Seeing Tom, ho half pnused, nnd nguln
that smile hovered In his eyes and mouth.
"Would you rather dance nnother one
Instead of this?" he snld, nnd June nn
swered coldly, putting her huuU on his
nrm;
"No; 1 think this I ours."
"Was 1 wrong to come for you?" ho
whispered as they passed out of tho con
servatory, and sho replied, more coldly
still:
'Certainly not."
A minute Inter hi nrm Is round her. Is
It possible that erewhlle she wns angry
with him? Now one soul seems to ani
mate them; together they fulfill the per
fect poetry of motion; never In her eigh
teen summers has June been coiincIous of
such ecstasy as this.
When nt lust they pause, he looks down
at her with a glance which sho no longer
resents.
"Wns not tlmt perfect?" he whisper.
She answers him by a look.
"Let us go on. It I a sin to lose a mo
ment of this!" Dnllns tays, uud again they
tloat nlong tho polished tloor.
Alns! nln! It I over! the piano has
banged tho final chord; perforce they
stop,
Mrs. Hlvors was sitting up for her dnr-i
ling, nnxlous to hear nil the events of
tho evening, nnd, ns Juno made her re
cital, a sudden consciousness enme to the
girl that, Instead of pouring ull her heart
out to her mother a was ncr wont, sno
wns talking nlmost ns insincerely ns
though she had been speaking to a strang
er. It was a relief to her when her story
was finished nnd she had kissed her moth
er fondly and bidden her good-night. The
maid who acted as parlor maid, house
mnld and lady's maid at the Itose Cottage
unfastened her dress and lingered a little
deeply Interested In tho dolugs at tho
Hall.
When at last sho went, June stood Im
movable for a moment. Then she flung
herself down by her bedside and cried as
If her heart would break.
OUAPTEU VI.
June, scarcely knowing how It happen
!' found herself in the boat In the garden
lake, while Mr. Droke was leisurely dip
ping the sculls Into the water sad rowing
boom. And when he cam to tht big
elm, whose branches overhang the water
and made a canopy above their beads, he
quietly shipped bis oars, and. bending a
little forward, said, quite simply and
frankly:
"I am going to take tho liberty of ask
ing you a question. May I?"
A little nervous flutter crept from
Juno's heart to her throat; a shade of
lovely color, that could scarcely bo called
n blush, came Into her face, nnd she an
swered with n slightly embarrassed nlr:
"Oh, certainly."
"Why won't you, who arc so charming
to everyone else, bo n little bit kind to
me?"
Ills tone was so dofercntlnl, nnd his
blue eyes looked so humble nnd pleading,
tlmt June felt nil her coldness nnd dls
plenBure melt nwny to nothing.
"Am I not kind to you?" she snld, dip
ping her white fingers Into the water and
nppnrently Intent on wntchlng them.
"What have I done?"
"You have hardly looked nt or spoken
to me since I came; indeed, I hnvo fancied
tlmt you purposely avoided me."
To utter n pollto disclaimer wns Juno's
first Instinct; but n second coming Bwlftly
on Its heels, she followed tlmt instead.
You have taken his mother's lovo from
Tom," she said. "And, whenever you
nre together, you always stand In his light
nnd make him scorn seem "
But June cannot find tho words she
wnnts.
"At nil events, there is ono brilliant ex
ception to tho rule," nnswered Dallas, in
n piqued tone, losing for a moment his
nlmost Imperturbable good temper. Then,
with n flash In his blue eyes eminently bo
coming to them, "I nssuro you, you nre
completely mistaken nlwut my nunt's feel
ing for me. She likes me, nnd I nmuso
her; but it Is hnrdly probable that a wom
an would care more for her nephew than
her own son."
June Is more nttweted to Mr. Broke In
this mood than In nny In which sho hns
yet Been him. It Is her turn to assume
that charming tone nnd manner which bIio
possesses in nlmost ns grent a degree ns
Dallas himself.
"I did not mean to say anything un
kind." And sho looked nt him so softly
tlmt his momentary wrath melted nwny.
"But It Is n little lmrd nn Tom."
"Tom Is the best fellow living," cried
Dnllas, "and no ono knows it bettor thnn
Aunt VI. She Is n woinnn of tho world,
nnd would like him to hnvo a little
more "
"Polish?" suggested Juno.
"That Is hnrdly the word; something of
thnt sort, I suppose. But sho knows his
sterling worth as well as anyono."
Sterling worth! yes, how appropriate
those two words arc! Yet they have a
dull sound in Juno's enrs this summer nf
tcruoon whilst young Apollo's eyes nro
meeting hers.
"I imagine," he snld, "that you will
very soon havo all tho suy here."
Tho swift blood Hew to Juno's checks.
"You nro mistaken, then," cried June,
hotly. "I ntn not going to marry him. I
mil not cngnged to him. I lovo him as my
dourest friend, ns my brother, nnd noth
ing, nothing more."
Then she snuk bnck in her seat, nnd-a
cold, shnmed feeling crept over her that
she had betrayed Tom, ny, more cruelly
thnu mother or nny other living being hnd
power to do. Dnllns was so astonished at
this confession thnt he let go tho bnnk,
uud the bout drifted out Into tho sunshln6.
lie hud to rise, take n scull and punt back
to tho shore.
"Had we not better be going In?" sug
gested June, coldly.
"No, not Just yet," ho nnswered. "Do
you know you havo positively taken my
breath nwny?"
"Hnvo I?" snld June, with nverted eyes,
remorseful nnd ashamed, nnd yet feeling
n sort of satisfaction thnt she had struck
off her chains nnd declared her freedom.
"I do not know why you should hnvo
thought I wus going to marry Tom. I
do not supposo thnt lie told you that I
wns."
"Most certainly not."
Since she wns not going to mnrry Tom,
nnd it wns not therefore high treason, ho
nllowed n tender Inflection to steal Into
ills voice. Dnllas could not help It; it was
born In him; If ho wns with a pretty
womnn, he must mnko lovo to hor, unless
u sense of honor to some friends who had
positive clnlms deterred him.
"Let us be friend!" he whispered,
bending forward and stretching out his
hand; nud sho let him take her. There
wns n magnetism in his touch thnt was
utterly wanting hi Tom's: Involuntarily
her eyes met his nnd stayed a moment
longer thnn wns wise, nnd straightway,
June knew that imagination mny forestall
reality, and that the dreams she had cher
ished In summer starlit nignt with long
ing eyes strained heavenward were not
only dreams, but that this gross material
earth holds raptures as great as tho prom
ise of the skies.
Tom, all unsuspicious, was awaiting
them nt the landing place, and, ns ho put
lioth his hands out to help June from the
boat, he said, with a cheery laugh:
"Well, havo you two made up?v
June couid not answer, but Dallas re
plied gayly:
"Ye, I think Miss lllvcrs has forgiven
me."
Then he walked up the slope to J6ln
Mrs. l'Vtherston, who wns coming to meet
them, her face wearing anything but a
pleased expression. A pang of jealousy
shot through Junes heart, lorn was
hurrying her toward n sequestered part
of the garden, and she felt as though he
were taking her away from the flowers
and the sunshine,
