A WOMAN'S REVENGE.

was so slender that she was glad to
find accommodation during the warm
months for one or two city boasders.
The summer in which our story opens
their only boarder was Guy Travers,
a wealthy young man, who had taken
board with Mrs. Heathcote in the quiet
little village of Glenmore for three
months, which time he had spent in
teaching Madge Heathcote to love
him. Had any one asked him, he
could not have told why he had done
so, unless it was for amusement; her
artless innocence was SO refreshing
and-and-well, Madge Heathcote,
"that tall, awkward GIRL" who would
have been positively ugly but for her
magnificent black eyes and luxuriant
dark. Ivy hair, possessed a greater
charm for Guy Travers than older,
fairer women had ever done.
Then after three months of perfect
happines to 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 village, and when here
turned to his city home, he should
often recall 'the pleasant days and
the nice little girl at Glenmore."
That was all; he. had held her in
his 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 so his city
home, where he would condescend ito
think sometimes OF the nice little girl
he had left behind him at Glenmore.'
Guy Travers, with his handsome
looks and soft, honeyed words,
had broken the heart of many asweet
girl before he had met Madgs Heath
cote, but none of them had ever re-
PEELED him with the scorn and con-
tempt that blazed from heErdark eyes
as she said:
$50 this is the end! ] was foolish to
have expected anything better from
you, ] supposed"
What did you expect of me
Madge?" he questioned. .'YOu sure
ly did not think / was going t0marry
you; if you did, Unjust say | am sur
prised at your lack of Judgment"
sGuy Travers, expected you to
act as an honorable man; that was
all. What right had you toswin my
love if you did not intend to.marry
me?"
sMadgel'' He went over to where
she was standing and attempted to
put his arm around her in the oldfond
way, but she repulsed him angrily-
"Madge," he repeated, "if you love
me, darling, why do you speak Ia this
cruel way? I'm very fond of you, lit
tie one-indeed Iam-and would not
hurt you by word ordeedfo anything
in the world; you know that. But,
my little darling, you forget how diff
erent are our stations in life"
Leave mel" she exclaimed. New
er let me see cowardly face again
He laughed lightly but nneasily.
"Madge, be reasonable; you do not
know what you are saying, my child;
/ have done youno harm"
NO" she answered passionately,
syou have done me no harm; you
have only broken my heart; but that
is nothing. What difference can the
breaking Of one heart, m ore Or less,
make to handsome Guy Travers? Guy
Travers, she continued, turning fierce
ly toward him, s'you came here this
summe for your pleasure; and for
your amusement you have wantonly
broken my heart, and spoiled my
whole life. But / declare to you this
day that as you have made me suffer,
so you shall suffer. The God Of the
widow and orphan will never let you
60 unpublished"
She turned quickly from him with
the words.
sMadge! Madge." he called. s.You
will not go without saying good-by?
Let us at least part as good friends"
She turned her pale face toward him
for a moment, as she scornfully echoed:
'.Frisndsl friends! Guy Travers, !
am your bitterest enemy, henceforth
and f~orever!ps
Guy Travers pulled his dark mus
tache fereely, for in his way he loved
this proud girl, who now cast his
friendship aside with such contempt.
"Well," he said slowly, 81 suppose
this is the end. Am I sorry or the re-
verse;"
ALL could he have penetrated the
future he would have had little doubt
on that subject.
The next day Guy Travers left Glen
more for his city home. He endeav-
ored to see Madge, but she always
succeeded in avoiding him; he was
piqued and angry. and mentally call
ed her "a little fool" more than once.
