That was all the mother could get out of her daughter. The society news wuh scanned from day to day until Mr. King was mentioned us a guest at the house of oue of Mrs. IIuHkins' friend. The lady was appealed to to bring about a meeting between Mr. King and Miss HuMkiu and did ho at ii dinner given by the mutual friend. Af;er the dinner Isabel returned to bcr home with a red spot in each cheek and a spark hi each eye. Welir said Mrs. Hasklns. "Oh, mother, be bus no remem brance of me whatever."

Judliiz from his expression, h? was saving sweet w.rds to her. cann ing Isabel's heart to sink as rapidly a It had risen. A few days later Mr. Klne railed, making a an excuse the offering of his box at the oera. Either he was the same skillful love maker he had been a decade before or he was much umltten with Miss nnskln. In his conduct were many of the Indications of a sure alTection. And so the alTair went on. At one time he would be devoted to her: at another fhe would hear that he was browsing ii inon g the prettiest girls In the siK-iiil swim. VA'hut uiost troubled her was that he was passing Into that age where a bachelor's sdmlmtlon Is hentowed upon girls much younger than himself. However, as the weeks flew by his devotion to Isabel grew more constant He had appeared to purposely display attentions to young girls when she was present to observe them. This he was gradually giving up. Indeed, the affair between them had gone so far that Ids uttentiotis to other girls ceased to trouble her Flowers had begun to cone from him to her. a sure sign that a proposal is about to be made. One evening when King followed a tiox of them he had sent he called, and when Isabel came down to meet blm he put his arms about her. klssod her warmly a:. 4 said: "My dear wife.

I have since been more than fortunate. I came here pur posely to find you. When I saw that in did not rcmemtwr me" "I did." interrupted Isabel. "I sup posed, however, that yon did not recog nize me."

But what can I do?" These words were spoken to herself by a girl who bud some sixteen years before been left at a foundlings' home and wbo had been given the name of Helen and had later chosen the addi tional uume of Whitman. She had been retained at he bome as an em ployee till she approached seventeen, then was informed that a farmer named Burnatkcl had written that he wanted a wife and asked whether one could be sent to him. Helen was in formed of the opportunity. After a long and tearful delibera tion, feeling Incompetent to go out into the world and make a living, she decided to ko out to Mr. liamackel. If he was very terrible she might com mit suicide. The matron approved of her resolution, for she was comely, and the good woman feared that with her Inexperience she tiilght fall a vic tim to some designing person. Mr. Barnackel was Informed that there was a young woman ready to accept his proposition, and he sent money for her Journey. The heart broken girl nerved herself to her fate and one afternoon alighted at a rull way station at the village near which his farm was located. A young farm er with a whip in his hand approached her and nsked If she was the young woman wbo was to marry Mr. Bar nackel. "I am," was the reply. "That Is, if he Isn't an ogre." The young man smiled. His smile was very winning. "I have a team here," he said. "I'll drive you to the furm." , When seated In the wagon and he had said "get up" to the horses Helen expected that he would say something to her. tie did not. He seemed to be thinking. "What kind of a looking man Is Mr. Ranutckid?" she asked. 1 Now, the young man was George Bartiackel, nephew of the r.iau who had written for a wife. The iitn-le was fifty years old. his f:ice looked like a hall of strings, IiIm hn!r was red, and he was Just too unlovely for nny thing.

MITCHEL There was a girl of one of those lutes w hich uow compose the Balkans 'view ambition was to emulate meu : athletics. Expert In throwing the :i'us, she won contests against those v. ho were champions lu this game, -lie was the Utt chariot driver In the Miigdom nnd had won many races. I'.nt her most rrmnrknble feats were in running. In this no one wua found I tut her. So pruinl was she of her swiftness on her lc',-s that she made a Vow she nouid marry no man who could not Vat her on ihe cinder path. Having ninny suitor, this ou.y added to the rivulry mining them. But since an ability to run fast does not argue that u man is otherwise attractive, those whose muscular development warrant ed i heir entering the list were not like !v to win the glr even If they won the race. Keverul fleet runners came so near beating her that If she had chosen she might have thrown the race without apjiearlng to do so. Oue day a young man came to the vllhigo where this girl, Eudoxla. lived and announced that be would enter the llet against her, only be made the provision th should he win the race she must marry Mm. He sent s chal lenge, and Eudoxla dispatched her brother to kiolc the man over and re port to her whether he would likely outrun her. Tbo brother returned and reported that, while the challenger was sliiilely, he was not muscular, and his physhpie did not warrant the Infer ence that he could beat sn ordinary runner. The slight risk of being beaten by one whom she would be pledged to mnrry nnd yet might dislike tempted Eudoxla to consent to the terms. 8o an agreement was drawn up between her and the stranger, who called him self Boris, to race, and If he beat her slje was to marry him. This agree ment was signed by Eudoxla without having seen her suitor. The race was to take tiloce on a frnrk lu the form of an clliime, the length being half a mile and there being sev en laps. A lurge concourse of people were gathered to see the race. The sirunger stepped forth In a pair of short running pants such as'are worn at the present day. One thing about him. was tiotkeahlc-hls munly beauty. It was evident that ho was not built for flectiicss.. But what astonished ev ery one was that he held In his hand a harp. Eudoxla was attired In the same fashion, with the addition of a shift falling only to the thighs. When the two confronted each other it was noticed that the stranger's man ly heiiufy, which nil agreed rlvuled the statue of Apollo, innilu n marked Im pression on Eudoxla, When she saw the harp In his hand she wus surprised, , and When hn did not Inv It nulil.. luw fore taking bis position for the race she wondered.
