1T Is imp ssshie TIA; have bsen kerr

friend, Nsud Grey, With whom she wss

at Is really 50, Helen," she retur ned
and added, gaily, Il fancy poor Jack
Derby thinks il Is three months 10y the
way you have fiirtei with him; petting
him one minute and snubbing him the
next, Helen. Why are you such CO.
quet,e. Do you care nothing for himi II
90, i, does not appear honorable to play
fast and lose in this fond, foolish way"
ITO tell the truth, the plain truth and
nothing but the TRUTH" replied Helen,
(while her sad face looked bright for q
momentD ~ do love Jack devotedly, and
with all the strength of my nature, but
gentleman call me capricious, and know
am often 80 with those whom I love
the best. Are you not living example
of that, Mignons You see Jack Derby
is handsome, "a style of man whom New
York girls call "a perfect dash,O and I
have an idea, (though it may be mis-
taken oneD that he is so conceited as to
imagine every lady whom lie exerts him
self to entertain, is smitten by his de-
voted manner. l certainly think myself
that those blue eyes of his are dangerous,
and when he smiles lie is positively en-
chanting. Last year, soon after met
him, one of the Professors told my father
(who you may remember was here Glass
Day at Cousin Dicks 'Spread,D that
young Derby was fellow Of great prom
ise, hard student and would make his
mark in the world. There, Maud, are
you not highly amused to hear Nell Pres
colt raving over one solitary man, when
she generally has six sur !e tapis at once9"
Maud smiled and then said in her pref
ty way, shave you a picture of JACKIE
The last time he was in New York, he
had dozen taken at Morals. They are
exceedingly good, and the enchanting
smile shows just enough to be capti-
vating."
mo, Maud, have none, and that re-
minds NE before left Providence, Kitty
Morgan dared me to get one. She said
that handsome as he is, he has made a
pou never to give his photograph to
lady; SO Kitty made bet with me that
if secured portrait Of Jack, she would
give me five pound box of Whitman's
best candy, which by the way, is thing
not to be despised. Now, Maud, know
you are clever; put on your thinking cap
and get me into the scrape or out of it,
as best you can"
Maud laughed and laid aside the slip
per she was working on, saying, "Well,
Nell, it is too ridiculous for anything,
but if you will promise to share the
candy, will try to invent plan. Let
US go low and take drive through the
woods; perhaps the green trees and sweet
flowers may send US happy inspiration.
Do not ponder too deeply upon it, how
ever, for you must be bright for Prof.
Longs Musicale this evening"
CHAPTER II.
Picture to yourself pretty cottage in
Cambridge overshadowed by large elms
with rosebud of garden in front and
green velvety lawn at the side. As you
enter the door, you naturally turn to the
right expecting to see the parlor, but be-
ware my friend, that room is the sane
tum sanctorum of Mr.. Jack Derby, q
handsome student at the law school.
This is his study, his sleeping room be-
ing on the floor above. Photographs of
pretty actresses and "the men of our
class" adorn the walls, while over the
mantle piece hangs a crayon head by
4unsig. 1t represents q fine looking
lady Of sixty with white curly hair and
soft, doyelike brown eyes. The furniture
Is covered with creton black ground with
saucy looking supids fying in a remark
ably uupfogressive manner 10 and fro.
