how late you kept me up. I'm sure" and
Eide thought mothers faint blush and sly

Eide saw the twinkle in his eyes, and
replied hastily :--"Dear papa, don't talk
so. Mr.. Towards long stay lass evening
was quite-quite accidentally. We are
good friends, nothing more, assure you )
apd-and probably he will not stay so
late again."
All, Eide Berkeley, if you really be-
lieved you own assertion you would be
very miserable little Eide, and you know

When, during that afternoon, the
stewart announced caller for Eide, the
young girl, Weakened from delicious day
dreams, went down to great her friend
with face so gorihed with happy
thoughts that the guest wondered she

retraced her steps to the little room above,

that the late caller would hardly have
recogized her. And how happened The
change? Only through few careless
words, which Zide's friend, in idle gossip
Glanced to speak THAT young Howard

have met HIM once or twice; do you SCI
him often, Zide?"
And Zide's answer was calmly given as
though her heart were not like lead IL
her bosom :-'Oh, once in awhile see
him. He has called here, and have
met him out. So you think he Is engag-
ed and yet ashamed of his love, do you?"
"Well," was the reply, "I've heard he
was, or would be soon, but at any rate he
is a queer fellow and nobody knows much
about him. Are you going to the matinee
tomorrow ?" And the conversation
drlfted into another channel, while
meantime Zide's efforts to betray nothing
of her true feelings ere almost too much
for her strength, and she was only too
glad when the visitor departed. So now
we find her locked in her room, suffering
to the core of her proud little heart, but
resolutely determined to keep her secret
safe.
That evenirg, contrary to Zide's
expectation, Arthur Howard did not call
and Eide was spared the pain of refusing
to see him, while his absence yet seemed
to strengthen her belief in what had been
told concerning him. Her face-thanks
to pride-was ais bright and merry face
aftera night of sleeplessaess,as one would
wish to see; but only when others were
present did the dimples play hide and
seek with smiles, and the voice ring out
in notches of song as usual. When alone
the dark eyes grew wistful and heavy
with unshed tears, and not smile rested
on the weary face from whence dimples
had all disappeared.
