the llgnG Oh Gay. - NOW Sne was " WalG-
ing, with a softened light in her
bright eyes, for the coming of the one
man to whom she had given her
whole heart.
She would not tell him that she
was sorry for having wounded him
her pride would not allow that, but
! if he cared to read contrition in her
manner, certainly that consolation
should be his, for she would be
, doubly amiable and demure and,
perhaps, if he asked her very sweetly
and imploringly if she w:.s not sorry,
maybe she would say Eyes"
Just as she made this resolution,
and was growing impatient for the
reconciliation, shadow fell across
the doorway. and Martin Lindsay,
the source of all her woe, walked up
to her, twirling his moustaches, and
elevating his eyeglass.
"Really now, Miss Gordon, do not
say that you have been weeping!
Tears were not made to dim the
brightness of such eyes as those,'
looking at her sentimentally.

en-, "that Mr.. Lindsay is laboring
lunder a mistake. was not aware
that had been weeping, or even if /
: had, l question his right, as an entire
stranger, to inquire the cause
Nov don't Miss Helen, you break
my heart! You must know that your
sorrows are mine. Don't snub fel-
low so cruelty"
81 think, Mr.. Lindsay, that L
might as we'll tell you now as any
time that your attentions to me are
very disagreeable, sd / request that
. YOU will discontinue them now and
forever" Saying which, Helen swept
from the room, leaving the young
coxcomb to his own reflections.
''By Jove! that girl really thought
; was serious. Ha! ha! Good joke -
with which consolatory remark he
hetOOll himself oil.
Some hours later, Helen, arrayed
in bewitrhing toilet Of white and
blue, appeared once more In the no"
brilliantly lighted parlors throngeo
; " ith gay dancers.

< room, Roger came up to her, and

that they should rest. Roger led he

A long silence ensued, which seen

t. was determined not to speak first
ID Helen played with her rings, tTirle

barriers of her pride, and said,-
