Its ar il wind tha, blows nobody any good, says the prove.o and have no intention of disputng II. Indeed ] am quite convinced iha, such ! 3lnd must be very Ill indeed. But our me little in- fant hurricane of September vas not one of these Among is many misdeeds was one airt ot good nature. which l make haste 10 record to Its credii, hile every ore else IS charging il with dam ages done.
 All day long during that caPuc!ous, windy. sunny. cloudy and altogether un- reasonable day Of "Wednesday, my dear little frlend Bessie had been wandering about the hoase ike an unqulet spirit. Seeing how matters stood. excused her entirely from all duties of hospitality to- ward me. her visitor.
 .-ie, me entertain myself. Bessie I sad. ''l don, like to hare people think ,ha; they must si; down and fold their hands. and converse politely because have come 70 see them. Make believe. dear. ,ha, l am not here. and do JUS; what you would do if you were alone.
 Now knew perfectly well that what my sweet, blue-eyed Bessie would have done had she been all alone was 10 Jus, si, down and cy those blue eyes almos; blind. and knew equally well that she would not do II while wzs there Bu, wanted to pu, her at ease
 The whole story was plain to me, or nearly all of it- had seen too much of her and Arthur Blake, over the way, not to know that there was more love be- tween them than could be broken into by outside storms without making some, at least temporary shipwreck- Arthur was a fine young man. handsome. hones, and tender. with pretty fair portion of spirit and determination. He was not one to make parade of hss private feel ings; bu, had seen him watch my dar- ling's graceful soft ways with an uncon- scloa. smile d2xning on his lips, and a light in his eyes that told sweet tale to whoever migh, look closely. And Bessie the girl only breAthed in him. and dropped asleep thinking of him, and never ceased thinking of him, dreaming or waking. l used to sigh, sometimes, seeing how utterly her heart was in his keeping.
 But not a word had she told me with those beautiful lips of hers. |, was through her transparent face and actions that learned all knew and more credi- bie witnesses could noi be had.
 The two were not engaged. that vas sure of did not believe that there had even been any love-tzlk between them that is, any that could be reported What eyes, and actions, and tones say is not to be pat in words. They were ir that delicious, periious position when the happiness of swo loving hearss is abso- lutely perfect, and as the same time raos' easily destroyed-that silent understand ing which seems SO sure, yet may b< loss through look or a word
