party to night-there's not minute to
lose. I've telegraphed to Bottoms for
hundred yards of smilax and running
fern, and hundred scarlet poinsettas !;
and I think we can manage the rest our
selves. You had better go at once, Miss
Penield. and plan the decoration
you've pretty taste of your own-and
I'll send up the flowers, with Hodges to
help you"
And Dolly went, her mind still on the
turquoise ring, with it's band OF virgin
gold and its radiant blue stone.
The Sedgewick mansion was brown
stone palace, with plate-glass easements
and vestibule paved with black and
orange marble.
Mrs. Sedgewick, stately matron, in
Vatican wrapper and blonde cap, re-
ceived Dolly in the great drawing
room.
"Ohl" said she, lifting her eye
glasses, "you're from the florists, are
you? Well, I know nothing about these
things-I only want the rooms to look
elegant. Tell your husband to spare no
expense"
"Mr. Frixham is not my husband" {"
said Dolly.
Your father, then.'
"But he isn't my father insisted
Dolly, half laughing. "He's no rela-
tion at all. I will tell him. however. I"
Exactly" said Mrs. Sedgewick. II
particularly desire plenty of white
roses, as am told they are customary
at this sort of affair. It's an engage
ment party"
{" Indeedl" said Dolly, trying to
look interested.
"Between my daughter, Clara, and
Mr.. Alfred Fitzalan," said Mrs. Sedge-
wick, with conscious complacency.
Dolly said nothing, but the room,
with it's Auted cornices and lofty cell
ings, seemed to swim around her like
the waves of the sea- And as she went
out, with Mrs. Sedgewick still chatting
about white rosebuds and begonia
leaves, she passed the half open door OF
a room, all hung with blue velvet, where
a yellow-tressed beauty sat smiling on a
low divan, with Mr.. Fitzalan bending
tenderly above her.
"He has only been amusing himself
with me-" said Dolly to herself.
There was sharp ache at her heart ;
but, after all, it was only the sting OF
wounded pride. Thank Heaven-oh,
thank Heaven it was nothing worse
than that.
Honest John Deadwood was driving
old Roam steadily and soberly along
past the patch of woods where the vel
vet messed boulders lay like dormant
beasts of prey in the spring twilight,
when gray figure glided out Of the
shadows and stood at his side.
"Johnl" she whispered.
"Dolly it's never you2"
"Yes. john" said the girl gently but
steadily, "Tm going back home with
you.".
ICED bless you, Dollyl" said the
man fervently.
"For good and all, if you'll take me, I"
said Dolly shyly. Il I've had quite
enough of city life; and I'll help you
with the greenhouses, and I'll try to be
a good little housekeeper at home
Shall 1, John X
John put This arm around her and
Rugged her up to his side.
"Darling +" said he huskily, sits
most too good news to be true but If
my word is worth anything you shall
never regret your decision of this day."
So the pretty fower-girl vanished out
Of the bower of smilax and rosebuds.
The Sedgewick mansion wasn't decorated
at all, and Mr.. Frixham had lost his
new customer. And the turquoise ring
came back to Mr.. Fitzalan in blank
envelope.

Boots Down in Maine.

A few frosty mornings ard little
mud have co-operated in starting n de-
msnd for cow-hide boots, which have
played such an entertaining role in
Maine politics for three or four years.
The fact is, the shoe dealers recognize
no such thing as cow-hde boot
nowadays. Everything is called
kip" whether il came from
heifer, COW, OK or bull. A boot which
would be called cow-hide in old-fash
ioned parlance, sells at $3.50 TO IS per
pair this fall. A good pair OF kip boots,
handmade, may be bought for $3.50 a
pair. Split leather bots sell for 81.
The rural trade demands a handmade
boot, and the result is that most manu-
facturers stamp their boots, I" Sided by

kip boots in the fall, he expects to get
