so, was Just ready for Arches oonsol.

"You see, Arch, she is all that can be
desired in every way, and L love her
with my whole soul. am no boy or
might get over it. Of course, you don't |
understand it, Arch;n but, to Toms
utter amazement, naughty, reticent
Archie Beresford dropped his head in
his hands and fairly groaned.
"Ohi yes, l do, Tom. understand
you perfectly. l am even initiated one
degree further, for love girl and she
doesn't love me-"
What more might have followed no
one can tell, for the door of the sane
tum opened to admit Jim, who drew
back as he sad: sob, say, you fell
lows, | didn't know you were here"
Jim always said he was an odd one
in the family. No chum but mother,
he used to say when little, as Tom and
Archie naturally went together, and the
two youngest paired off.
Something in Jims distressed face
made the boys urge him to come in.
He did so, and took seat between them
on the sofa and begged that they would
continue the Glow of conversation
which his untimely presence had inter-
rupted, adding that Archie looked as
though he was in love too.
''And so l am,'' bitterly said Archie.
''Oh Lord!'' shouted jim, sIm there
too, y and frantically grasped both of
his brothers in his arms. ,t.
"Jim,'' insisted Tom, ''no nonsense
for once. Do let co.
Nonsense! l am in dead earnest.
Have been for three years, and Lord
knows how | am going to break it
gently to mother. And the sweat
streamed from inns face. ''Boys, let's
go in a body and storm the castle.''
1.-The girls breaking with me has
saved me the trouble of breaking it to
mother, bitterly replied Archie, ''she
does not love me any more"
20, yes she does, Arch: we'll make
| her. And now that Jim's secret
was confessed to some one he grew
SO light-hearted that the boys sus-
pected him Of making game of them.
! But Jim was in earnest, and, as he
told them, had been for three years.
Ever since Nellie Brown, pretty girl
OF q ten, had come to live across the way
m heart had been gone. At first he
dIu not mind it much, but as he didn t
| get over it he began to wonder if she
cared for him, and just three weeks
ago he ended his suspense, and now
O, if it wasn't for mother-Jim would
be too happy.
"Come, my beloved brethren, we
must bear it like men. We must meet
mother. But, Jim, for Heavens sake
don't spring it on her tonight; she
can't bear any more;" and Tom led the
way down to the parlor, Just as Frank,
who was growing more like his father
