fore feet. He had been kept there for
hours, and he seemed more eager than

rose-boidered paths, and mingled with
the flowers some dainty mignonette and
pale bud or two OF the tea-rose. At
last he placed the bouquet in her hands
and said dreamily:
"Read the emblems, Constance-you
who are a priestess in Flora's beautiful
temple"
She quietly looked over them.
"Ah," she said, "you choose well,
Sir Botanist. Here you have beauty
in retirement, constancy,- is
good-and am not a summer friend
that is better than all. But you
fatter with your flowers nevertheless
"Not you," he replied eagerly, al
most tencerly, and in a voice that some
how frightened her.
She replied almost coldly, although
her heart was strangely beating and
warm; unusual color was in her face.
"My best friends, doctor, will tell you
that am ugly and commonplace. Be
lieve them, beg of you, and do not let
your imagination invest me with any
charms" -l ~ .-----
