Urng1e. IT nad taKen hold of it or la1d my hand down on it 1 should have got an electric shock. It was curious, Nan, to be within the circle of his sphere. He was almost rigid with jealousy and yet was quivering with emotion. That man can be dangerous. felt as though l wanted an insulator between us"
 Nan found the topic one of more than ordinary interest. "You think that MT. Anthony is in love with Mary?' she sug- gested.
 "To be sure he is, terribly in love quite head over ears. If you were not in love yourself, and consequently pur- blind, you would have discovered it ages ago."
 "I did think so at first" Nan re- sponded, thrusting aside the imputation of obtuseness. "Lately l haven't no- ticed much, because Mary has been throwing him with you ever since we came. She has really maneuvered to | do it; and that is unlike Mary. l took it into my head that she was trying to bring on match between MT. Anthony and you because of all that money" 'She has been trying on that very game" quoth Ella, who occasionally elected to be slangy, ''but it hasn't worked at all. It wasn't the money, though, Nan. Mary doesn't care for money. She's the most unworldly crea- ture alive, and has lived in the woods so long that she has lost all appreciation of the dependence of mankind on the root of all evil. With Mary it isn't the uni versal root, the tap root, the real founda- tion. What she wanted was to rid her self of an unwelcome adorer and to hand him over to me-the hospitalities of the house, you know. 1 saw through her at once; but I'm fond of Mary, and she's Electors widow, and all that, and she can't bear the man besides; so tried to help her."
 "I don't think you've succeeded, either of you," remarked Nan impartial ly, not meaning to be disagreeable, but as one who states an undeniable fact.
 "No, we haven't" admitted Ella,
 whose belleship rested on too sure a foundation for her to resent occasional
 failure. "We might as well have tried
 to alter the course of the Mississippi.
 The mischief was done, past all remedy,
 long before 1 entered the engagement.
 From my observation, should say that
 MT. Anthony is a man of one sentiment,
 and that of the colossal type. He is
 madly in love, and so is the other man,
 and both with the same woman"
 Nan was standing before the mirror,
 brushing out her long black hair. She
 turned with the brush in her hand and
 regarded her sister earnestly.
 "Mary doesn't care for Ned Anthony } the value of a wooden toothpick," she said slowly.
 "I know she doesn't. think-that is, I'm afraid"-hesitated Ella. "What?'
 "Never mind. I'd rather not say. I'll : wait little before telling you" } ",Very well; it doesn't matter. think | -Uavlu J.
