She sang the song right through and
as the last vibrating sounds of the ac-
compartment died away she turned
around on her stool as though to mark
the effect on her listener. There he
sat entranced and spoke not a word.
''Have you nothing to say about my
song, Mr.. Bregy?" she asked.
1T is very beautiful" was all he said
''Now, do not suppose that | am fish,
! ing for compliments, for nothing was
farther from my thoughts. But l do
like people to say something, even if it
is disagreeable, when / sing a song, and
especially one of my own composing"
she said in half joking manner. But
the young man before her was in no
Joking mood. Gould it be, he thought
Il. .
she meant those words for mop" And
as he pondered he said to himsek:
''Some day l will ask her."
just at this moment Mr.. Wilcox
looked over TO Mrs. Delaro and said:
'Is that Harlem gentleman going to
stay here all night2"
They certainly must be too busil Y
engaged TO notice the time" was the
reply, 'but / will remind Armida, by
walking into the parlor, that am pre-
pairing to retire, and with these words
she rose to put her words into effect.
When Mrs. Delaro walked into the
parlor she spoke very kindly to Eugene
and no one could have told that she
cherished any feelings OF suspicion
towards him. They conversed toge ther
for some moments. during which Mrs.
Delaro made kindly inquiries regarding
Mrs. Bregy. This seemed to remind
Eugene OF a duty he had to perform
and he commenced it by asking Mrs.
Delaro if she could give him Mr.
Blo1ger's address, as he and his
mother wished to see him on some
business matters As they had never
seen Mr.. Blodger except at their store
/ they had never known his address.
/ Mrs DelarO told Eugene where he
could find Mr.. Blodger most of the
time, and Eugene in confidence said
/ that Mr. Blodger had offered to rent
/ him larger and moro convenient store
little farther downtown, and IL was
on that account he wished to see him.
AS Eugene finally rose to go Mr..
Wilcox joined the party and Mrs.
/ Delaro observed that he would probably
/ willingly carry message to Mr..
/ BlodEer from Eugene as he saw that
T gentleman down town nearly every
/ morning. But Eugene was not dis
posed to intrust Mr.. Wilcox with his
business, as he said: 'Oh, it does not
matter and then bid them al good
night
Before retiring Armida and her
mother sat for a long time talking in
F the freight why, mamma, how
serious you are becoming . said Armida
"This IL serious matter, F" said her
mother. You know not what hopes
and aspirations you may have already
enEendered in that young mans heart
nor into what foolish dslusions you
