Margery's eyea danced wickedly; aha
snuffed battle afar. Mlsa Catherwood,
waddling majestically from booth to
booth at St Rarnaba'a fair, had atop
led abort at eight of her, setting her
nose at least an Inch higher and anlff
lng audibly. Sine they were follow
church workers It would not do to aay
Mlaa Catherwood hated Margery, but
even since young Warwick had fallen
under Margery'a apell the elder lady
had ahown herself spiteful beyond
words.
All Epptngton laughed at her, of
course covertly. She waa In a way Its
great lady, owning the biggest house,
the handsomest grounds and nearly the
biggest bank account In the Tillage.
Young Warwick's uncle, the major,
had a thought more ready money, but
since he llred modestly, nerer subscrib
ed to anything In public and gar away
by stealth more than half his Income
he was no such personage as Mlas
Catherwood, whose Joy In life was to
write her name In front of a good
round sum at the head and forefront
of every Important list
Margery said audaciously that It waa
Miss Catherwood's habit to let both
hands know all that even ber little An
ger did. fosslbly It was that apeech,
with the necessary accretions from
mouth to mouth, which first made En
plngton's Lady Bountiful so high ana
haughty toward 1U prettiest girl.
Margery Lane was easily that and
much more. There was a sweet soul
at the bottom of her velvet eyes, wit
and spirit a-plenty under ber mop of
floes silk curia. All the finest young
fellows of the village were her chums
and sworn champions, even to the two
or three who had tried to be something
more. Margery's compelling gayety
shed sentiment as a duck's wing sheds
water. Thus she had laughed her would
be swains out of sighing Into a con
sciousness of what she persisted in
calling their mistakes. When she bad
fully persuaded them to take her own
sane view She sent them rejoicing ou
the way to court and marry other girls.
Thus In her own way she was easily
as much afcower as Miss Catherwood.
Otherwise she would not have been
what she was at the fair. Miss Gather-'
i wood was the fair's moving spirit. If
she had dared she would have Ignored
i Margery. Sln-e. she did not dare, she
I wisely resolved to make the utmost
I possible out of ber enemy. Conse
quently Margery had the stall which
dispensed Impartially candy, cut flow
ers and literature. The girl's chums
had behaved nobly in the matter of
buying, to say nothing of her lovers,
actual, possible and Impossible. Ma
jor Warwick put himself at the bead
of the impossible, vowing things were
at a pretty pass, Indeed, when the girl
be had brought up specially for himself
was whisked away from him all to a
wink by his scapegrace of a nephew.
Melville Warwick, the nephew, had
been Miss Catherwood'a protege since
be was In short frocks this In spite
of bis own smoldering rebellion. His
mother, a gentle half invalid, was de
voted to Tamela Catherwood, and Mel
ville never willfully crossed his moth
er In anything, He bad worn Cather-
wou leaning strings wim wnai grace duke can-fully put his hand Into bis
he might up to the day he was sent I pocket and took out a florin, which he
away to college. When he came back it,m 0n the edge of the pew desk be
froni It to find tomboy Margery a crea-1 fore him ready to be transferred to the
ture of Infinite and tricksy charm, i nlnte
I withal the one woman In the world for
i him, he let It lie seen he meant hence
j forth to have his own way. Within a
fortnight he had courted Margery open
' ly, getting a nay-say, of course, but
I equally, of course, whistling It down
the wind.
i "I'll give you time to find out your
own mind," he had said. "It may take
; two years, but what Is that beside Ilv
i lug a whole life without you?"
I Now he leaned upon the flower coun
: ter so ostentatiously rapt in the choice
t of a rose that Miss Catherwood had to
; speak twice before he answered,
j "What Is It Aunt Pam? You want a
i rose? Let me beg you choose Instead
i some of those choice chrysanthemums.
You see, everybody wants roses, and
all the flowers ought to go. The chrys
anthemums swamp any womau less
majestic than yourself. A dozen of the
biggest and hairiest please, Miss Lane.
Change? Outrageous! Whoever heard
I of change at a fair?"
"I don't want flowers. Keep your
J money, or, If you needs must spend It,
come to some of the sensible tables,"
I Miss Catherwood said with what she
! meant for a withering glance at Mar
gery, who smiled amiably.
"Lo take him away, dear Miss Cath
erwood!" she murmured. "I have done
my best to get rid of him this last hour.
If he stays longer all the rest will bate
me. You are an angel to deliver me
from such a dreadful fate."
"You mean I am un angel. Angela are
all masculine. I leave It to the highest
authorities If that la not true," Melville
said, standing stock still, his folded
arms propped upon the flower table.
Margery looked at him reproachfully.
"You are blocking the way of trade,"
she said. "I have somewhat of con
science, howsoever you may be lacking
tn It These flowers have got to b
turned Into flannels and soup and shoes
for poor folks. Are you willing to pay
In advance for all I don't sell?"
"Willing enough more than willing!"
Melville retorted. "Only show me how.

InteVrupted, raising her eyes to the
celling. "Now, If you please, we will
be golng Miss Ijtue, sell my chrysan
themums over again and dou't forget
to add what they fetch to the amount
of my original donation."
Tnleas you bny thorn youraolf, no
body will." Margery wild, with a smile
of Infantine malic. "They- are so big
and dull and brlcky red everybody hits
sniffed at thwu. Indeed, Mr. SaUnlre
told me when he fetched them In, Ta
mela Catherwood la your one chance
for these.' "
"Indeed!" Miss Catherwood was so
ear apoplexy she could not get beyond
the won!. "I'll give you a dollar apiece
for them." Bhe said, "and you can send
them straight to the Home of Uie
Ilomelesa," Then, with a hissing ehrlok :
"fllrl. where Is my purse? I had It a
moment txu-k- aml laid It right there
under your hand!" ,
"Yes, I saw It" Margery said, hur
riedly turning about masses of blos
omy green. Miss Catherwood watch
ed her suspiciously, crying jerkily all
the whole: "My purse! Gold mounted,
the clasp set with diamonds, and a
hundred dollars! What have you done
with itr
"flush !' young Warwick said Imper
atively, making to load her away. Peo
ple were gntliorltiir, staring, listening,
craning necks, to see all about.
Margery let fall her hamls, saying
quietly,. "It Is not here."
The words tm)k away Miss Cather
wood'a last vestiire of composure. With
a pluujriug lurch she overset the flower
i table, clutched Margery by both shoul
ders and shook her hard, hissing out:
"You! You little bold faced thief!"
Stunned silence for a breath; then
babel broke loose. Suddenly some
one cried, "MU Catherwood. there's
your purse tangled up In the lace and
Jet on your hanging sleeve!"
Miss Catherwood rained a massy arm.
There, true enough, the bauble gleam
ed. With one gasping look at Mar
gery's set white face, she fell all tn a
moaning heap at the feet of the girl
she had accused, In her fall Jarring
down a big lantern and overturning It
amid the rubbishy decoratlona.
Instantly there was a threatening
flare. The flames ran leaping venge
fully toward the groveling woman. If
she breathed them once she waa lost.
Margery stood over her, her Nllght fig
ure outlined agstlnst a heavy rich huod
rug. Before another hnnd could be
raised her arm went up, she tore the
rug loose and. holding It banner-wise
around and above her, dropped and
smothered with It the flare at ber feet.
An hour later lr. Archer was saying
as he patted Margery's burned fingers:
"Little girl. It was a heap more than a
life for a life. You thought only of
your enemy, but you saved your friends
as well. If the fire had gnlned head
way every home In Epplngton might
be In mourning.
"I'm not trying to pay you. Margery
money cannot do that," Miss Cather
wood supplemented from the depths of
her easy chair. "But you shall be my
heiress to prove you truly forgive me,
and you shall marry Melville Warwick
to show riches make no difference tn
a true woman's love."

Beside him sut a little snob, who,
noticing this action, imitated it by os
tentatiously laying a sovereign along
side the ducal florin.
This was too much for bis grace, who
dipped his hand Into his pocket again
and pulled out another florin, which he
laid by the side of the first. The lit
tle snob followed suit by laying another
sovereign beside the first.
His grace quickly added a third flor
in, which was capped by a third sover
eign on the part of the little snob. Out
came a fourth florin to swell the duke's
donation, and then the little snob tri
umphantly laid three sovereign at
once upon the board.
The duke, not to be beaten, produced
three florins.
Just at that moment the plate ar
rived. The little snob took up bis
handful of sovereigns and ostentatious

duke, with a grim smile, put one florin
Into the plate and quietly swept the re

No Incident In Disraeli's career Is
more pleasant than his offer of a pen
sion and a O. C. B. to Carlyle. A
friend of Kir William Fruser walked
with Carlyle for two hours on the day
on which Disraeli's letter arrived. Car
lyle described the letter being brought
to him by a treasury messenger, the
large black seal, his wonder as to what
the official envelop could contain and
his great surprise on reading the offer,
conveyed In language of consummate
tact and delicacy. Carlyle suld: "The
letter of Disraeli was flattering, gen
eroua and magnanimous. Ills overlook
ing all that I have said and done
against him was great."
He added: "The accurate perception
of merit in others la one of the highest
characteristics of a fins Intellect I
should not have given Disraeli credit
for possessing It had It not been
brought home so directly to me." ll

Some years ajjo while at work, I felt

as a result, sua the doctor told me 1
would have running tores for life, and
that if they were healed up the result
would be fatal Under this discouraging
report I left oil their treatment ana re
torted to the use of S. S. S. Its effect,
were prompt urul gratifying. It took
only a short while for the medicine to en
tirely cure up the sores, and I am not
dead as the doctors intimated, nor have
