Then they walked and talked to-

as any uncaged little brown bird, chat
ting and laughing as if her whole life
were taking q holiday. r
But it all ended one day, when the
curved, high-bred lips of Miss Van
.Tassel opened and sent little sentence
like a barbed arrow into the .;guileless
heart of her cousin: i
They had been speaking of Roses few
friends, and Philip Lee had been
brought before the bar, his friendship
weighed and his kindness measured,
when Terese, who had been listening
greedily, said, throwing into her voice
an affectation OF the deepest surprise:
''You can not mean it, Rose, when
you tell me that Mr.. Lee came here to
see you SO oftenp'' - , r.;S

Something About the Most Agreeable
Members of Society.
The Duke of Wellington wrote
contemporary, ''listens always to 9TH
ers." His royal master, George the
Fourth, was deficient in this courtesy.
The King never listens,'' said the
Duke, on one occasion, and he added:
George the Fourth is no gentleman,
though an excellent actor of one for
ten minutes; he can't support it
longer"
An agreeable person in society is
one who is as willing to listen as to
talk. "A good listener" says the
author of 'Social Custom sis better
appreciated by nine people out of ten
than the most brilliant talker'
The good listener may be vain, but
he mortities his own vanity, so that
other people may not mortify it for
him. He does not talk about himself,
nor does he talk to show how clever
he is. Moreover, he really pays at
tention to what others say, and does
not merely pretend to be interested.
He does not allow his thoughts to
wander, though he is forced to hear.
unmoved, the old story of the social
bore. Even the ill-bred person who
talks ''shop'' will possibly give him
some information worth hearing.
The most popular person is the good
listener who can ''draw out" people so
as to put them at their ease, and make
them do their best. He is social
king ard she society queen who is
master of this art. ~ ~
Henry Clay mastered men by send
ing them from his society with in
creased self-respect because they had
done so we'll, and Mr.. Clay had listened
so attentively to their talk.

his frightened future, and tho low,
rich tones of his voice fill the small
cottage, its music echoing throughout
the rooms. @s> t-'-s r.
And when the clock tolled the ninth
hour he was still talking, too happy to
wonder at the quietude of the chosen
one at his side, too filled with busy
thoughts to notice the little figure
standing SO close behind him. But
when parting time came and he rose to
take leave of the woman beside him, he
found that the storm had arisen in
fury, and mutterings of the black
artillery of inky clouds came rolling
down from the western coast of heaven.
He turned and faced the doorway.
Then came the flash of a mischievous
streak of lightning which made the
place all about him like the day. And
in that seconds passing he saw the
hands he held were not the hands of
Rose, who stood soul-stricken wrath
In LAe Dlack doorway.
''Philip," she said, her voice pinched
and uncertain, ''you should have told
me. Did you think I would stand in
your way, my friend? You are un-
just-nay, more, you are unkind. I
| would have helped you had you let me
know all this, for you have given me
more than I can ever repay. You are
cruel, too, Terese; am I not to be
trusted then? Go away, now, Philip,
for Terese must come within doors
lest people should talk-ah Heaven,
go!'
As one blinded and stricken with a
great woe too deep for speech, Philip
Lee, with what he felt to be no volition
of his own, turned about and went
out under the pail of wide-spreading
rain clouds.
"You did not guess our secret,
then?" Terese asked of her cousin, as
she rose ard followed her into the
house.
| But there came no answer.
The poor little done-out body grew
too burdened with the great suffering
soul to contain it and she fell across
the bed in a dead faint.
Miss Van Tassel, among other pitt
full characteristics, had that of excess
i've fright at even the appearance OF
death; so seeing the white drawn lines
about the mouth of the poor, dropping
Rose, she ran to the door and gave one
great shout for Philip. In flash that
followed she saw him coming, striding
fiercely along through the pelting rain.
He passed Terese without a word
and fastened to the bedside where his
souls idol lay stretched, looking
strangely tall in the long folds of her
milk-white gown.
''You have killed her-you wretched
woman! Curse you. you have blighted
my life and you must needs end your
| "Ah!' this from Rose-a deep-drawn
sigh, as the soul struggled to regain
it's tenement.
| ''Out of her sight!' he whispered,
hoarsely, pointing to the door of the

inner room. AS the soul of the little
woman gained the mastery the eyes of
Rose opened again upon the familiar
things about her.
'Philip" the old womanish tones
all gone now, and the voice. though a
very faint voice just then, was as sweet
in its cadence as a bird-song. Il can
not blame her, dear, for having loved

laugh Of exquisite enjoyment at her
big, amazed eyes. "You have heard,
no doubt, of the great mogul of our
Sonny state, Governor Philip Lee?
Well, dear, I am Philip second, and no
filter ornament could I wear than my
own sweet blooming Rose," and he
drew her head to where, upon right
royal breasts, there flourish the crosses
of honor.
He laughed her fears away about
the people, but stayed not until the
storm had worn itself out, leaving her,
albeit fondly and reluctantly, at the
tenth strike of the town clock.

to his and gave her first kiss OF

My girls Q graduate.
She adds with wondrous Quiclness
The beaux to her attracted

Since am not subtracted.
In chemistry she's skillful:
And il her influence wanes
She'll manufacture tear.drops
And turn them into chains.
But I'll not scold the darling.
She does 1t with such grace,
So long as she is making
Bright sunshine for my face.
She is wondrous artist,
Sad are the scenes, alas!
She paints for sorry fellows
OF the disappointed class.
The colors are most dismal
Her lovers oil agree;
But oh, Heavenly pictures
She conjures up for me!
She is rare musician.
And you surely would confess
Were you ever once so lucky
AS to hear her murmured yes
Her tones OF liquid sweetness
Have undisputed sway,
And force me, willy-nilly,
To give her her own way. .:-.

That she's taken her degree.

And while he is yet coming, and you

you more about her. Her name, to

kins-easles and sable-points and sat-

'onged to her good old father, who, dy-
Ing some five years ago, left it to her
with his blessing. And upon this
scant heritage the little brown maiden
thrived and metamorphosed into the
little brown woman who taught coun-
try pumpkins and the suburban youth
their first principles and was pretty

And it was well Cor her that she had
put every extra penny by, woman
fashion, in precious cracked

indeed, she thought, since Terese

was coming to share her hearth and

A hush was in the very air. Up
from the village that nestled at the
mountains base there came the soft
chime of the clock in the church
tower-fve, six, seven! And the
echoes had not yet rolled their silvery
waves of sound beyond her alert ears
before the quick tread of advancing
footsteps set her heart beating wildly,
and she turned her face from the
doorway to gain time-it was so
flushed with JOY.
''Looking for any one, Miss Van
Dyke?'' asked a very pleasant, musical
voice, in very matter-of-fact tone.
Eyes, Mr.. Lee, was looking for
you, she answered, simply.
"For me?' with an affected ,tinge of
surprise in his voice. ''How did you
know-how came you to think l was
coming?''
There is the theory of mental tele-
graphy,' she said, drawing down the
cream-white coverings of her eyes.
"Oh!' he vouchsafed, but seemingly
unsatisfed with her answer. .'What

observation. $50 sweet and fresh and

And her thoughts ran riot.
