It was on a morning early In Janu ary, eight years ago, that my office-boy il beg your pardon. Junior clerk- brought me her card, upon which was Imply Inscribed: , MISS WHITE. -BMw. her in." I said. "A moment later. -when." I' looked'' up 'there stood before me one ef the pret tiest girls I bad ever seen. "What can I do for you?" I Inquired. - "I-want your advice, : Mr. -Treineme," he began, in a low, pleasant voice, "and o that you will .quite understand it. I will begin my story at the beginning. I was left an orphan when.oulte a baby. and have been brought up by an aunt I am quite independent, however, having an income of four hundred a year, to which I succeeded two years ago. My aunt has one eon, who, encouraged by her, pesters me with his attentions, and has now taken to threatening me. I do not want to marry him. I hate him!" he exclaimed, determinedly. "I must tell you he Is only 20 three years my Junior and has been very much spoiled by his foolish mother. And now, can you advise me?" "I can certainly try and frighten nim sumption about you, Mr. Tremalne! Tou have taken the liberty of Interfering in my affairs, and I mean to make it very warm for you before I have done with you!" "Your cousin requested me," I said, "to write to you on her behalf. I did so as her solicitor. 1 fall to see what right you have to dictate to me In the matter at all." "Right!" he exclaimed, flourishing his horsewhip. He made a lunge at me with It, but I was. a moment too soon for hlnv and' though - the tip of the cord erased my cheek. It was in my posses lonand Mr. Arthur Thornton was lying daxedon my office floor witnin ine once of 10 seconds. Tremalne Is Cornish name, and I had done little wrestling in my youth. "Get up you cur!" I exclaimed giving him a not very gentle kick. He crawled to his feet looking as though he could have killed me. "You don't suppose this sort of tom foolery will do your wooing any good. do you?" He made as though to rusn at me again, and I. pinned him by both arms Into an easy chair like a baby. Sit down!" I shouted, so loudly tnat my clerk, hearing, tapped at the door. It's all right, Jenkins; you can go away," I said, ana turnea my attention to Thornton again. He had sat down in the chair acaln. I haven't finished with you yet What "Whoever he Is he will be lucky who wins you." She gave me an adorable smile. "If you will give me a sheet of paper and a pencil, she said, "I will sit at your desk, if I may, and write the name down for you to read when I am gone." - She sat In my chair and pushed away the parchments that littered the table. "Whit a dreadful muddle!" she said. "You want some one to come and tidy It up!" My heart was beating so fast that I could not speak. She picked up a pen and wrote a name upon the sheet of paper I had given her. .Then she looked up st me with a bright face. "What Is the data?" she said. With a glance at my calendar I told her. There," she said, folding it care fully. "Now I must go. Promise me that you will not look at that for an hour." "I promise," I said, feeling somewhat mystified. She held out her hand to me. "Goodbye," I said. "Au revolr," was her reply, and be fore I knew It she was gone. with a waging letter couched in lesal Lort of a ton ao you caU yourself, not tf?y.

A fortnight later I dined with some very old friends In Kensington, whom I you because she has money, but to be fool enough to try and take the law into your own hands?

"In my possession,"! said, grimly. showing him the horsewhip, "and In my possession it will remain until you give me both an apology for your outrageous conduct and a written undertaking not to annoy Miss White after this date with your unwelcome attentions. Do had known from boyhood. Almost the this, and you can go, but you don't go till first person I saw on entering the room was my fair client- The recognition was mutual, and my heart gave a thrill of delight, for I fancied I saw a gleam of pleasure leap Into her beautiful eyes as .we were introduced. "You appear to have met before," said our hostess, - looking from one to the other. Miss White smiled. "Only professionally, I am sorry to ay," t murmured. "Your letter has had the desired ef fect,. Mr. Tremalne, but how long It will last it is difficult to say. Much to my relief, my cousin has beqn called out of town "Please rely upon me in every way," I said, and ' we drifted into unprofes sional channels. ' To me Miss White seemed more charming than ever, and he was not only charming, but clever to boot , r ... , The next morning at my office a dis agreeable surprise was awaiting me. I received a visit from Mrs, Thornton, who. with unmeasured expressions of rage. demanded the reason of my inter ference with her son's love affair. I tried my best to calm the lady, ex postulated with her, even attempted to reason' with her, wnicn was stiiy, De cause he who attempts to reason with an , angry woman Is not. diplomatic. After a stormy quarter of an hour she flung herself out of the of rice in a tow erinx passion. - " ''Here is a pretty kettle of fish!" I thought to myself, ruefully.

How foolish of me, I thought Of course, she had only thought of me as a client. Of course An hour later I looked at the taoer. To my utter amasement it bore nothing out my own name, Harry Tremalne. and the date, February 29. It flashed upon me. with a suddenness that almost un nerved me that the year was leap year. and that Forget-me-not White had proposed to me! She Is new Forget-me-not Tremalne, and vows that in ail the eight years of our nappy married life she haa never once regretted that proposal of hers. The sheet of paper on which she wrote my name hangs framed In my study. LOTAN KEPT BUSY ON LICENSE DAY Deputy City Auditor W. 8. Lotan. in charge of the license department, had a busy day yesterday.
