,Madge HeathcOte was the only daughte'
Of q widow, whose income was so slender
that she was glad to find accOmmodatior
during the warm months for one or two city
boarder. The summer In which our story

aweakhy young man, who had taken board
with Mrs. Heathcote In the quiet little vii
lage Of Glenmore for three months, which
time be had spent in teaching Madge Heath
cote 10 love him. Had any one asked him,
he could not have told why he had done SO,
unless II was for amusement; her artless In

Madge Heathcote, that tall, awkward girl, "
who won d have been positively Ugly but fol
her magnificent black eyes and luxuriant
dark, weavy hair, possessed greater charm
for Guy Travers than older, fairer women
had ever done.
Then after three months of perfect happi-
ness ~ poor Madge, he told her he
was going away, going, perhaps never to
return; he said she had made the time pass
very pleasantly during his stop in the vii
lage, and when he returned to his city home
heshould often recall 1.-The pleasant days and
the nice little glrI at Glenmore."
That was all: he had held her in bis arms
and kissed her sweet red lips a hundred
times; he had told her over and over again
that she was the only woman he had ever
loved; and now he was going back to his
city home, where he would condescend ITO
think sometimes Of the nice little girl he had
LETT behind him at Glenn,ore."
Guy Travers, with his handsome looks and
soft, hsneyed words, had broken the heart
of many sweet girl before he had met
Msdse HeathcOte, but none Of them had
ever repealed him with the scorn and con-
tempt that blazed from her dark eyes as she
said:
''Se this Is the end! was foolish to have
expected anything better from you, sup
poser"
"What did you expect of me, Madge?" he
questioned. "You surely did not think was
geing 10 marry you; IL you did, must say
am surprised at your lack of judgment"
Guy Travers, 1 expected you TO act as an
honorable man; that was all. What right
had you to win my love II you did not intend
TO marry me?'

was standing and attempted to put his arm
around her i'm the old fond way, but she re-

me see your cowardly face again.
He laughed lightly but uneasily.
"Madge, be reasonable; you do not know
what you are saying, my child; have done
you no HARM"
NO" she answered passionately, "you
have done me no harm; you have only brok-
IN my heart; but that is nothing. What
difference can tine breaking of one heart,
more or less, make to handsome Guy Tray

fierceiy toward him, you came here this
summer for your pleasure; and for your
amusement you have wantonly broken my
heart and spoiled my whole life. But de-

She turned quickly from him with the
words.
"Aadge! Madger' he called. "You will
not 90 without saying good-by? Let us at
least part friends"
She turned her pale face toward him for n
moment as she sconfully echoed:
