ID be mere mask for a heart that was
almost abnormally cruel. 1t had been noticed
that the girl wore unique belt composed of

Il "Yes," she said, that is my favorite belt,
Though have others handsomer and more
'custly. This one, however, has its story,
baud | always like all my possessions to
have stories. Then you are reminded of
Bone one or something every time you look

She was instantly pressed to tell the story
Iof the belt.

was that sad affair in Florida two years

Everybody knew instantly what affair
the girl referred to, aud there was a pause
after she had spoken.

people understand, lot of us started back.
We found the poor boy lying in the grass

going to ask any more questions, and at last
the girl became impatient. Her listeners, it
seemed to her, had allowed their interest to
flag, and her story had failed in its intended
climax. At last she was compelled to finish
1t in prosy, undramatic way.
This belt was made from the snake that
bit poor Jack, said she. And she wondered
why every one who heard her looked hor-
rifed.
