other was smaller, a blue eyed beauty,
with hair of spun gold drifting In the
breeze. They hud no sooner passed Hie
KUte than green feathers began to
flutter In their path. Many a young
man approached, but was deterred by
a repellent glance from the queenly
brunette. For an hour the pair walked
about the pHrk watching the others.
Now and again some young girl would
suddenly dart away on seeing a youth
approach whom she wished to avoid
or to appear to avoid. Here and there
would be heard suppressed screams
and giggles, while smacks resounded
like pistol shots.

country town In the west, and as tho
leased from her boarding bouse win
dowthe third floor ball room, back
a few minute before gdlng down to
dinner It seemed to brr that she was
locked In a place of torment from
which no escape was possible.
They dined at 7 hi Mrs. Brown's
boarding house. In the half hour that
Anton had beeu homo she had taken
a sponge bath, brushed her silky, flax
ou hair and changed her black alpaca
dress for a simple white muslin. As
she leaned out of the window from the
open space beside the storage houss
lu the rear she could sco the dust

dnughters of noblemen who hud come
to witness the kissing without taking
part In It, and It wus even whlspored
that Ihey wero from tbe court. Hut
there were men present from the
court, and none of them had ever seen
the girls before. The people wondered
why these gallants dared not offer to
Kti2 'wo such beauties.
Nenf niTdnlght n'nhTn with a black
beard entered 4n company with one
who appeared to ho his son. It was
appureut that both were dl.vcuUeu;.
Passing Hie two girls, they turned and
looked ut them, then, walking In a cir
cle, met them again. At this second
meeting the younger man darled to-;
ward the blue eyed girl. Seeing him j
coming, she left her companion und ,
ran nwny, Those watching these un-1
known people then saw tho oldm nuui ,
approach tho girl who was left. They ,
rxpected that she would wither ulm ,
with a glance. What was theJr sur-'
prise to see her after a faint roslst- j
mice submit to be kissed. Then wuhu ,
be offered his arm she took It, uud .
they walked on together. j
"You ore very hold." said the lady,
"Such beauty ns yours would Inspire
boldness in a coward." ,
You had no right to kiss me. You i
do not weur the green feather."
True, I never thought of that. Hut
xucli beauty ns yours1 makes one forgot."
"You tnuy have u ladylove." j
"Pitch bciuiry ns yours would win

on refilling the porcelain saltcellars,
"I'll tell you wuat we'll do." said
Francis as they wulked toward the

and sit there for awhile till the night

by one. Over on the Jersey shore a big
building which by day showed Itself to
be an unsightly factory now took on
the majesty of a mediaeval castle.

Francis, calling Antona' attention to
It. "Do you know the story of the
