Miss Barouy was young, beautiful and

of the late Lady Helen; was charmed by
her sunny brillisnce and ct months

"Quite an old affair. I believe said
the consul. but perhaps yo1 had

Miss Barony was prettier than ever,
in her cool muslin dress and paIe-blue
ribbons, as she sat among the jessamines
and pomegranates of the consulate recep-

Brabazon. He had speech carefully
prepared, wherein all The nominatives
and subjects were carefully balanced and
the exact words stationed in their exact
places but he forgot it all at the fair

ROSA'S REVENGE.

"But do you really mean it, Mr.. Bra
bazon?'
Rosa Dale was standing in the illu.
minated srchwsy of the autumn woods,
ber bright braijs of hair pierced by one
or two wandering sun beams, her dimpled
child-face framed in, AZ it were, by
sprays OF red.veined autumn leaves, while
her apron was full OF the gllstening
brown chestnuts which she had picked
up.
John BrabaZon leaned against the tall,
smooth trunk of the birch tree and looked
at her with lazy, luxurious sense of ar-
tistic beauty entering into his mind as
be gazed.
"Of course mean it,. said be.
But l am oaly twelve years DID,

striving to conceal yawn. "And if they

there will be some PROBABILITY OF their

"Well!' said Rosa, every dimple COM

stood there.

Brabazon.
Rosa nodded her fair little head.
But" sue questioned, rather dubious
", "where is the iing?"
"The-wba,?"
"The engagement ring, Mr.. Brsbszou,' ;
exclaimed Rosa, reproachfully. Don't
you know there's always ring in the
novels? And most generally ITS dia.

'If you'll believe me- said Mr. Bra
bacon, tTAgically, II never thought OF
the ring. But here's little opal that
