with them to see them off, in sociable
country fashion, and after a shower of
girl kisses on both sides stood watch

the weird mingling of twilight and
moonlight which hung over the world.
Standing on one side, peering up the
road with intent eyes, absorbed in her
own thoughts, she did not hear the
footstep that stole softly along thegrass
bordering of the roadside walk. The
next moment strong arm clasped her,
a pair of daring lips sna5ched a kiss.
Watching for me. Ivy?" cried Joe
Dalton, triumphantly.
IL" III. Dalton How dare YOU r Let
me go, sir!" exclaimed wv. breaking
away from him with blazing eyes and
face shining white with anger in the
faint light. @
"Whew!" calculated Joe, stepping
back pace. :" It seems to me that you
have changed nightly in three short
months. Have you forgotten-"
/ Il have forgotten nothing, sir" burst
out Ivy, in tones of suppressed passion.
1T is you who have forgotten-forgot-
ten, among other things, the respect
which every gentleman owes to lady"
"lvy-Miss Sunderland, what is the
meaning Of this? What has happened
that should break off our friendship ?"
What has happened, indeed!" echoed
Ivy, scornfully. ''Mr. Dalton, have you
so low an opinion OF me, are you such
libertine yourself, as to suppose that
to me marriage is no impediment to
such liberties as you have just insulted
me by taking?"
Married." cried Joe. $50 YOU are
married, Ivy. And I to know nothing
about it! Why did no one tell me?
Oh! Ivy, Ivy, how could"
What are you saying, Mr.. Dalton {?
l am not married; it is you-you!"
Here she broke down, her overwroug ht
mood gave way, and she burst into hys-
terical sobs. .dfa.s 4. t.4.IT 49,.
-"Ivy, Ivy!" cried Joe, II am not mar

caught the shuddemng, trembling form
in his arms, and drew the head down on
his bosom. so that is the meaning of
all this, your ayerted look this morning,
and all. [ thought afterward that per-
haps you did not see me. Now, who
told you such an absurd story? I in

"Miss-Miss Simms," faltered wv. as
the sobs died away
"Alvira! Well, declare! And you
believed her?"

calculated Joe; "to think she should
have made you suffer all this, my little
clinging vine. Never mind, love, we'll
cut her acquaintance when we're mar

"But, Joe" said Ivy, affecting not to
hear the last remark, ''who is the lady :?
Your cousin? Do you know, believe
I'm half jealous of her?"
Jealous! well, you won't be so long.
That lady is nay mothers new daughter,
Ivy. She is my brother Dicks lovely
little wife, whom my mother had never
seen before. They arrived in New York
last night from New Orleans, and as
Dick could not come out till the mid
night train, and Edith was anxious to
get home as soon as possible, acted as
her most dutiful escort"
And Ivy, though she began her
Thanksgiving rather late in the day,
made up in intensity what was lacking
in length of time.
