As soon as Ircnsides made his tardy
appearance Dora had encased herself
in waterproof and rubbers, and, ac-
coinpanied by Jack Bronson, started
home Jack was not at all pleased
with the scene he had witnessed upon
entering the telegraph Office, and de-
termined TO intimate TO Dora that the
frequent presence of that brakeman IN
the telegraph Office was very
distasteful to him; but Dora pratt
tied on so prettilv that he hadn't
the heart TO chide her. BY the time
they had reached the Cheney mansion
and were seated before a bright fire,
he had nearly made up his mind to let
the matter go. when, by a happy in
spiration. he saw an easy way out OF
the difficulty.
Dora, said he. suddenly, will you
marry me-
Dora was so startled by this abrupt
question that she was unable to reply for
a moment, and Jack, remembering the
old adage that silence gives consent, "
concluded She was too much overcome
with emotion to speak, and so put his
arm around her waist reassuringly.
Mr.. Bronson, said Dora, rising to
her feet, Il am very sorry. ] never
meant to encourage you to think we
could ever be more than friends"
Jack was completely overwhelmed
by this unexpected reply. He, too,
rose to his feet.
Il suppose from that that some one
else has won your Affections
Dora made no reply.
"Then" continued Jack, in the most
sarcastic tone he could command, Il
am sure l wish you much joy, but |
must confess | am little surprised at
your choice" And he walked majes'
tically forth, slamming the door as he
went, leaving Dora standing In the
middle of the floor, speechless with in
dignation.
Not until he had nearly reached the
end of his run that night had Jack
passed through successive stages OF
anger, disappointment and chagrin anC

A week later a solitary figure walk
