her mysterious stipulstions, gave her a new
bold on Wilie-the grasp Of the frmer
nature upon the weaker. She was, in his
eyes, more than beauty now. She was a
clear-headed woman, capable OF an extra
ordinary purpose; one who could conduct
his life and her own to some successful and
brilliant end

Willie looked up. Vanity's face was a little
turned aside while she gazed wistfully at the
setting sun. She thought he had given her
up, and he saw quiet tear fall from her
cheek into the grass. Her whole look and
attitude were sad, and her sadness conquered
him.

CHAPTER *.
ALL FOR HER.

A morning or two later letter came to
Willie Snow addressed in woman's writing.
The hand was strange, and Willie's mind was
full of his sweetheart, so before he opened the
envelope his thoughts flew to her. With
trembling fingers he drew forth little Pink
sheet, which emitted Whit of heliotrope; he
saw that the writing was genteel; and then
read the short, sweet note:
"If YOU like to meet me this evening, one
hour earlier than usual, you may. OF course
this is private. Don't come unless you really
wish-Yours, S. H.
.'P. S.-You had better come in any case,
but you need not stay"
Poor Willie had no head for business that
day. His brain was swarming with null
titude of delightful ideas; but still in the few
calmer intervals that relieved his excitement
be pondered what had told him. 1t was of
the essence of Willies character not to sus-
pect any one he loved. OF Vanity he could
think no evil. Assuring himself, however,
that she must be in some extraordinary po-
sition, he resolved to be cautious.
"For her sake thought Willie, "just as
much as for my own"
HIS foolish heart beat high as he repeated,
suppose for the hundredth time, that his
might be the hand which would extricate beau
tiful Vanity from this unknown difficulty,
which he persisted in believing was not dis
honorable. And so, full of hopes and dreams,
he walked up to their meeting place.
To Willie this interview was of supreme
Importance, and his mind was on edge with
expectation Vanity stood waiting at the
gate as usual, and he remarked that she was
dressed with particular care, and, SO far as
attire went, looked her best. They shook
hands nervously. Willie, in dread of the
opening of the conversation, had prepared
question beforehand which he now put with
an air of gayety.
"Why does Miss Vanity Hardware sign
her notes S. HI"
because Miss Vanity is not Miss Vanity;
Miss Vanity is Miss Susan" This odd an
swer she made pretty and witty with her
airs.
sThen," said Willie, why did she ever get
such nameT
'Well. you see," replied Susan Hardware,
"she was so good, sir, and so demure, and SO
unconscious Of her own merits, and blushed
10, sir, when spoken to, that at first they
called her Miss Modesty."
''Ah," said Willie, ''that was pretty

His words did not comfort her, but they
recalled her to herself. She dried her eyes,
and, opening the gate, stepped quietly
through.
at is not much to ask that you will never
repeat this conversation to any one," she
said, trying hard to speak calmly. Don't
mention my name; that will be the greatest
kindness you can do me. l must go home
now, for my father expects me-"
Are we to part in this wayp Willie asked.
"We are,n she replied, grown more COM
posed. Il have been foolish, and must pay
the penalty. Perhaps have been over ex-
cited too; perhaps said more than meant.
That is little matter, so long as you don't
repeat anything. Forget me, Willie; forget
all about mel"
"Forget you!-is it likely, after what J
have heardF'
"Then remember me as boy remember,
his first love-"
Sand you-how will you remember meF'
In marvellous way her gay, wild manner
reappeared. There she stood before him,
tossing her head daintily, smilingly, mock
ingly-just the old flirting Vanity of theiI
first interview.
Remember you-youa My pretty boyi
AS flatterer! AS young lover who came
to me reeling off pretty speeches by the
yard, like fancy ribbons! As a curious i'm
pertinent, who played at question and an
swer, and got mystified and lost the game!

Was ever laughter like hers! Full Of
mockery, full of heedlessness, full of wild
frivolity and reckless disdain! Willie was
petrifed with surprise.
"You're an angel, quoth he. Trsle!

then broke anew into laughter.
All the while Willie stood like statue
"Good-night, Willie," she said, dipping
him a taunting courtesy. 'Like this style,
sir? Good-nightp
And off she went, and he neither spoke
nor moved Presently she returned with a
serious face.
''Don't forget your promise. may be in
Jest, and may be in earnest; still, you are
not to repeat word have said. Remem-
ber, that would set people talking, which I
hate. And don't write to me; whatever you
do, don't write to me-"
"Am l never to see you again" inquired
Willie, finding his speech at last. care re
to meet no moreF
"Never, except at this gate" said Van 10y,
decidedly: "and never unless you find me
here, without asking me to come. Now she
was grave, decisive, almost stern. "You
hear?" she cried.
II hear"
''Then-obey."
