"Do you suppose he'll send up his
card, aunt?" she asked, cor wait for 6

But Mrs. Creswick could only leave
the answer to this question for fate to
develop
And it happened that Miss Creswick
and Mr.. Dalton met that very evening.
Miriam was landing in the doorway,
feecy cloud of white. with roses in
her hair and corsage, when suddenly
the color deepened somewhat in her
cheeks
Aunt, she whispered, he's here"
He, child? Whom on earth do YOU
mean"
Don't you remember parsons
nephew out at Edgedale, that told you
about?"
Where? 2" asked Mrs. Creswick, put

But Mrs. Creswick, without hearing

Allow me the pleasure of presenting
you to my neice, Miss Creswick."
"And Miriam found herself involun-

Aunt Creswick, the only one who
was entirely unconscious, smiled and
simpered as only a we'll seasoned dow

head.
Miriam /" cried Mrs. Cleswick "you
never told me-"
Because she herself did not know"
said Mr.. Dalton, smiling. "At Edge
dale go by the name of Percy Wylde,
in adherence to fancy of my uncle,
who never loved my fathers name or
family. And if Miss Creswick told you
anything about me, she would have
merely mentioned me as one of those
country hearts it was her 'pastime' to
break ere she should return to town"
He bowed and turned calmly away,
while Mrs. Cheswick was still in a
maelstrom of perplexity?
Miriam, L don't understand this at

But Miss Creswick did. She under
stood that her own folly had lost her
rich husband.
And when Constance Dale married
Mr.. Dalton she was forced to be con-
tent with the very secondary position
of first bridesmaid.

who, in battering through hotels and

sons thankful for past favors and hop

tries to hide his little game, hates to
offer his hand. TO avoid doing so,
when he meets an Englishman, he rubs
both his hands slowly together, as il
washing them. An enthusiast about
