"I fancied ao once!" She spoke
In a low tone, a burning flush auf

"Nell-my dearest!"
Mia Harmon roae, went to her
desk, took from it a letter which
she brought to ber friend. "You
read this," she said.
A sharp rioainatlon of surprise
broke from Medora at sight of the
chlrogrsphy. Hhe read fi letter
through. It was a brief note end
a brutal oae. The writer had beet
mistaken. He had fancied bis affec
tion for Miss Harmon waa one thnt
would prove deep and permanent.
Within the last few weeks he hnd
met at The Cascades a girl fairer
If poasible younger. If he might be
permitted to apeak so frankly and
wealthier not that wealth counU I.
He herewith returned Mla Harmon's
letters, and hoped they might
be friends In the future. "The Cas
cades! That date!" cried Medora.
"It la from Thomas Elder and he
he meant me! Oh, Nell why didn't
you tell me before?"
"It might seem at though I were
revengeful!"
"I'm revengeful now! Well, we
must think out a way to make him
break his engagement with me! I
know I can't ue this letter as a rea
son. I would never drag you Into
a position of such humiliation. 1
I have it! Listen!"
It was after midnight when Mist
Harmon's hair had been properly
brushed aud Mrdora's, too, by the
way. Keturah shook her head at the
cracklin; notes extended. "You may

envelope of palest attire, with a all

"Prom Medora!" murmur! Mr.
Elder, placidly. "From my Medora!"
He was charmed at the contents.
To call at live to meet her mother,
who had that day arrived from New

The suitor boldly did aa bidden. In
the waning light of the winter day
the room was shadowy. A gaunt,
red-viasged creature in a gown of
parrot-green confronted him. A
mighty hand crushed hla. A pair of
sharp grsy eyes pierced his soul,
"Olsd to meet you, Thomss Eldr-I
Hope you'll make a good son-in-law!

coming to live with you? That's
right. You aren't afraid of panther

did the best she could have done

Escspe Thomaa Elders finally ef
fected. How he never knew. 8o ex
cited was he that some sound in an
adjoining room seemed to resolve It
self luto an Irrepressible ripple of
taughler. That night Keturah. In a
parrot-green gown, laughed aa hear
tily aa her mfatreaa. when between
gaspa of merriment, Medora read
aloud a letter from her admirer, in
which he deplored the fact thnt a
suddenly-developed case of rardiaa
collapse hsd convinced him th.at he
could not ask any woman to ahare
the life of a hopeless Invalid.
"What's the joke, girls?" cried
Maurice Harmon, ahrugging off his
overcoat as as came Into the parlor;
a fine, manly young fellow, with
stesdy eyes and a strong, beautiful
mouth. "Jovet Isn't Keturah in

Keturah, tlll shaking with mirth,
took his eoat and went out. Nell
stood up and kitted him.
"J ft til rlgkt. old boy." ehe said.
"Msdora will tell you about It." She
laughed again at the thought of El
dred'l dismay when he should meet
the real mother of Medora-a sweet,
gracious, cultured gentlewoman.
"All's fair, you know. In love and

"This wss both'." cried Medora.

went out, and softly closed the door.
