A bachelor, he was regarded aa the richest matrimonial prlzo In a community where marriage able men were source at brat, and Con xtunro Dunn naa looked upon with envy when the Attention of ltumley to nor became sufficiently marked to Indicate that ho waa about to make a choice. Constance and her ainit lived alone In the old family mansion Just outside of KanlciKh, on the anmll competence which remained of a family fortune t n n.t ivkinr tnr a falrr prince, nor that had been .lowly consumed by auc- - - nnii.1PT man as T ' generations.

Aunt Matilda watched her niece's form disappear into the house, and ahook her head sadly. "Perhaps ahe's right." she rau.ed. "It waa at her age that 1 became ena-d to my lost love. All the world wouia not have made me give hlra up. And yet " Judson Rumley. disappointed over the refusal of Constance to receive him, out of sorts with the world In general, was alttlng on the rear porch of his two hours inter ruminating ovr - satisfied to live right hero with mr dear Aunt Matilda." '. Gilding clone to the side of the all-very-halred old lady, the fair young woman threw her arms about her aunt's neck and kissed the old-fashioned curls that dangled from her head. Aunt Ma tilda's face softened. "That's the way." she cried. "The good master knows, my dear, that I am not anxious to be rid of you.

"fly Jinks, It's heading right for my place, too. Hey," he shouted, making a megaphone out of his hands "Keep off 'there.' Pr this time the balloon was within a quarter of a mile of the Ttumley house. ''Keep off! yelled Rumley the second tlm. "Lost time on of you fellers came this wa you scared all my stock and made a norse run away and do a hundred dollars worth of damage. Keep off!" The words were scarcely out of Ma mouth when the balloon, swooping down Tou have got along all right. The face of tlm aunt grew pensive. "I did, " my child, ahe replied aoftly.
