A girt waa alttlug on the porcU of
ber borne thinking. Five year before
oo that very day of tha month aba bad
refuaed Henry MarMUlan. Khe waa
then eighteen years obi, and tba tii-db-ea-t
method In love affairs appealed
to bar. If a man pmprjaed to ber and
ana refused hint she expected him to
return the h-il day ami tba next and
" on UII aba a-ceptcd bim. MaeMil
lan bad no rorxeptloQ of thU art of
ioveuiaklug. Ha never Bald anything
be didn't iix-au and couldn't nnder
atand any one else doing ao. Hut but
experhttre with woim-n waa not ex
tensive. n tbU summer afternoon Lnella
Travera wa thinking of Henry Mac
illilan. (ihe bad not Intended to refuse
bim oioro Huiu ouce. When bo cam
back the eeeond tlmo- which aba nit
orally rxia-tel he would ilo-alio In
tended t aTeit blin and at the aarue
lime show bim bow long ahe bad loved
blru by giving him a smoking rap, on
with-h aba bid embroidered a wreath.
Ha had lio uk for a amoklng t ap and
no ambition to wear a wreath about
hla bead, but UielU couldn't think of
anything elno to do for blin.
Henry waa as stupid about Borne
things a he waa wise about others.
If a dozen person bad w ttnenaed the
refusal be rf-elve.1 every one of them
would have known that I.uella waa
refusing bim with her tongue, while
ahe waa accepting Islw In ber heart
Henry beard ber words, but aaw not

ness offer In a distant city and wished
to learn. If I.u.-Ha would marry htm

reluctantly, to what be considered tbe
Inevitable. lie left ber without a mur
mur, and ahe waa somewhat fearful
that he might not give ber aa oppor
tunity to recall her refusal She had
talf a mind to call him back. But half
i mind la not a whole mind, and she
let him go, expecting tbe next time she
met him to draw bim to another pro
p'isnl by tbae winning waya ahe un
derstood how to apply.
8fi did not see Henry for several
days, then she was greatly shocked to
hear that be bad gone to another city
to engage in business and make It his
home. Why ahe did not write him to
tell him that her refusal of him was
only temporary does not appear. Ter-
baps It was for tbe same reason that
tbe myriads of other temporary re
fusals are not recalled. A woman must
wslt for a first proosal, and It In equal
ty obligatory for bim to wait for
soeuBd.
Aud now I.uella on the anniversary
of her refusal tho date waa aa well
Dxed In ber mind as her birthday was
sitting on the porch wondering aa she
had wondered constantly since her lov
er's departure what could have made
htm ao stupid. And yet had be seen
through her game w lint would have 1
beeu the pleasure In her playing UT It
had not occurred to ber that she had
better have refrained from tbo fun
and acted on the principle that a bird
In the hand la worth two In the bush.
Who Is that tall figure coming ud
the road? There Is something familiar
lu the walk, something In the outline,
something Intangible, Indescribable
about Hie w hole. Luella's heart atood
still. Yen. It is Henry. He la heavier
than be wan. his step Is a trifle lesa
quick tlis'i It uneil to lie, but It la
Henry, the man she refused flva years
ago, to her regret ever since.
Was he coming to renew hla propo
sal?
Luella had had fits of anger agatnst
her lover for being no stupid. Now, In
stead of a hope springing In her heart
that he was coming to tell ber that he
ould uot live without her, with a con
sequent throwing herself Into bis arms.
she was seized with a desire to punish
him. For what? For having taken her
refusal seriously.
Henry came on. Luella, pretending
she did not see him, looked up at the
sky. He stopped before tbe house,
then mounted the steps. Luella forc
ed a smile. He looked aa gloomy aa
the day he had left her.
"Why. Mr. MacMlllanr she exclaim
ed. "What a long time since I have
seen your
"I've not been in this town alnce I
saw you last, he said.
Came back to aee your mother, I
suppose?"
"Yes; to Bee my mother, but to see
you. too. rve passed an unsausnea
Ave years since I left here. I've come
back to try to persuade you to recall
what you aald to me Just before I left
yon."
There was something so miserable In
his appearance and tone tbnt her de
sire to punish htm for hla ainpidtty
broke away. Asking htm to "wait
bit" she went Into the house and
brought out the smoking cap she had
kept so long.
"I had Intended to recall what I said
the next day, but you didn't give ma
nn opportunity. I had been making
this gift for you for months and ex
pected to give tt with my consent"
She spoke through tears. -
The man only a genius could por
tray the mingled emotions expressed
on hla face.
