would satisfy her hut being lifted up and

OF course nothing would do but DOttir

as he PIT in lta Y, and IN o doing his hand,
perhaps accidentally touched lIcartSeaSe's,
that we children of a larger growth have
puzzles to solve ten times NOR difficult

"NO, not exactly"
His eyes rested on IIeartSCaSe's face; her
eyes were bent on the map, but his look, if
she had met it, might have perplexed her.
Cant 90 set it,
81 hope so, with help"
"Heartsease will help co." said DOttie,
with whom HeartSease was omnipotent
The young man flushed and bit his lip.
This was IL hOmc-thruSt but Heartsease,
who had no idea that his allegOry, if meant
self, laughed out:
puzzle Of another kind, or shall get black

What are you going TO dO-are you going
away? asked St. John.
Yes, | am going-if you wish very much
to knOw-tO make cake"
Bother the caker
"Oh, Dottie wouldn't say So" said Hearts
ease lightly, and she fitted out OF the room.
st. John unused minute then he asked
DOttie:
Where Is Jennie"'
Does 90 want her? She's out"
mo, don't want her" replied he limo
cently-"nOt particularly. That's right,
Dotte. All, here comes FlOsse, she will
set the low countries for you"
Presently Heartseasp, with pretty, bare
arms involved in flour, heard a voice which
somehow always sounded especially pleas
ant to her, call over the kitchen-stairs:
'lieartseaseE
We'll" she called back, what is it?'
May | come down.
HeartSease laughed.
Yes, if you like"
st. John needed no second bidding. In a
minute his tall form appeared in the kitchen.
There stood HeaTtSeaSe tumbling dough
about in BASIN and looking so bewitching
that ST. John needed no small amount Of
self-cOmmand to abstain from taking her in
his arms then and there, and drawing the
pretty flOury hands about his neck, and say
ing-well. he might not have said much or
anything, words would have been supertlu-
Gus, if Heartsease had submitted to the en-
brace, and allowed him to kiss her smiling
lips; and if he had felt certain of his recep-
ton it is very likely DOtte might have been
minus her cake; but he was not certain,
therefore his fine broadclOth was saved from
ruin and Heartsease went on with her cake
There is chair by the fire." she said
nOdding her head in that direction, but ST.
John seated himself on the opposite side Of
the table.
"Mayn't sit here and watch the myster-
ious prOcesS?
IF you like. Are you anxious to learn
how cakes are made?'
Very. | did not know you could make
them"
Live and learn. can do many useful
things, l assure you. Poor people have to
turn their hands to many things"
A shade fell on st. Johns fine face. With
the lavish and withal mistaken tenderness
of such men as he for the woman they love-
he would have folded her in cottonwood {;
no harsh wind should have touched her; her
feet should tread in no rough way
He bit his lip and was silent.
Heartsease, of course not understanding
what was in his heart, looked up, laughing
"Do you think it mira dig for lady 10

mo, indeed! That is not what | was
thinking of. But | shouldn't like to see you

Nothing would make you selfish"
"If you came down here" said lieartsease
