when the Attention of ltumley to nor

that ho waa about to make a choice.

we have seen how she had finally given
Into her aunt's hands a positive rejec
tion of the old man's suit.
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

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

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

As he spoke, a monster balloon loomed
Into view about a mile off. I'nder th.
Influence of ft strong; wind It was driv
ing directly toward Burnley's house and
every Instant It seemed to be drawing
closer to the earth.
"Another one of them balloon peo
ple," grumbled Ttumley. "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

The face of tlm aunt grew pensive.
"I did, " my child, ahe replied aoftly.
' But heaven ruled otherwise."
"Oh. forgive me auntlo," cried Ton
Stance. "1 did not mean to recall un
