latter very soon got the best hold. and this
became apparent to the former. The young
lady gave herself mp to numb : o,-e until the
day After tho 4th when shsrsaddenly and
very decidedly veered about to the stranger
who was new In town, learning the jewelry
business Number one was forgotten as
easily, apparently, as if he had been an old
debt 1t was the night of the fifth thxt this
change of feeling dawned upon him. He
had purchased quart of new apples, and
taken them to her house. There was CON-
pany present on his arrival, and he requested
TO see her privately in the hall She COM
piled with reluctance that struck him as
| being singular.
"Here is something for yen, Julia," he
| whispered extending the package.
She colored slightly as she said:
"I cann3t take it, thank YOU"
.But y{I don't know what it is, he urg-
| ed. ''It is quart of new applessjust come
in market"
She made no move.
"Why, Julia, take them, they won't hurt
you. They are ripe"
Ono, | mustn't, she persisted, keeping her
eyes east down.
"Why not2" he pleaded "You don't
think Id bring 'em up here if thought they
would hurt you, do you ?"
She moved uneasily, but said nothing
Julia" he began Ill broken voice,
''dont You believe me when | tell You they
are ripe," She did not answer.
f'Can it be possible he continued in a
voice of pain, that you believe that would
try to make you sick , that I'd bring any
thing up here to upset you!"
1.-The company, are waiting, and / must
go back to them, she said, speaking in a
constrained toue,. and reaching out to the
handle OF the parlor door.
t!You won't take thcm!" He was very
white, and his voice trcnblcd with suppress
ed passion.
"No."
"Thcn I'll 20 home and eat every gol-
darned one Of EN- before / touch bed if it
kills me deader than Collar" and with this
fcrOciouS threat he bounced out Of the house.
Whether he did as he promised il not
known, but as he was around on the street
the next DAY, it is more than likely that
wiser thoughts prevailed.
That afternoon he started for her house,
to see if the dreadful thing was true that
that jeweler, whom he designated by the pre-
text of pole legs, had really supplanted him.
As he neared the house he saw, with anger,
that the jeWeler was there playing croquet
with Julia. The sight maddened him. For
a moment he looked at them, with clenched
hands, then hurried away, with CLEAN In
his eye that denoted = storm In a quarter
| OF an hour he was AGAIN approaching the
place. He had both hands In the pocket of
his sack, rs If he was holding to something
valuable. The dapper young jeweIer was
still engaged IN the game with the fur Julia,
| and their laughing remarks grated distaste-
fully upon his car. He marched straight
| into the yard. julia looked up and saw him,
and frown covered her face. He saw it,
and understood its import 1T once. His own
face grew black with wrath. He turned to
her.
Julia, have You given me up for this
cuss?" he sayagely inquired.
"W hat do you mean by such language as
that she angrily demanded.
While the party thus indelicately indicat-
ed stared at the new conner as if he very much
doubted his own existence
"Just what l say, retorted the discarded
one.
"Then it's true" he howled in voice Of
! anguish. "She has left me for old pole legs.
OH" This with sudden reversal of tone,
as the name brought up realization OF the
hated presence. "fou are the one that's
| done II, are you!" Turning In rage upon
his rival. You are the scoundrel that left
| me to buy her things for whole month, to
get her sweetened up for you, and then you
come in and take her to yourself. Where
were you OH the fourth ?" he screamed with
bitter carcasm. "Why didn't you show
yourself when there was money to spend,
| and things to show her that cost cash down
Where were You when ice cream and cake
were around, Oh, you old gimlet eye" he
added, suddenly removing one hand from
the recesses of . pocket and hurting . raw
egg full In the face of his rival, which break
ing In the contact completely transformed
the entire expression of the jeweler. "Where
were you say" he yelled, dancing around
and drawing forth another egg. At the ad
vent OF this awful article, Miss Julia
! scampered into the house, and the affrghted
| and almost blinded rival struck out wildly
for escape; but the foe was after him, and
! not ten feet had been cleared when the
and sprInhledits glowing color oyer his back.
The unfortunate man ran with all his might
seeking for escape, but bafied IN the search,
| he flew over the vegetables, and darted
| around the trees, but the avenger kept close
to him, plastering him with ome,ettes, and
plying him with questions like this:
Where were you on the Fourth"
Egg.
"Where were you when there was money
to be spent,"
Egg.
kept away did you, till the Fourth was
over, the eOstLest day In the year,"
Egg.
knew cream was up that day, did you, ,"
Egg.
and the eggs flew with all the vengeance
an unrequitcd affection could impartt to them.
And the unhappy Julia, standing IN trance
OF horror at the window, saw her favored
one pelted in the back, IN the side, on the
head and against the legs; saw him tear
| through the shrubbery like a winged ONE
lette saw the golden liquid stream from his
! hair, his coat tails, and his finger tips; saw
him shed scrambled eggs, chromos and circus
posters at every jump; saw him finally bound
| over the back fence, and sweep across the
back lots like simeon of billiousness, and
then she gave a scream and tainted dead
away.-Ddn5ary Neus.
