The next morning as Daisy and her
cousin sat on the front veranda, the
postman handed each letter.
Both opened them with huttering
heart, for they recognized the hand
writing.
As Dai.y glanced over hers this is
what she saw:
"In thinking il all over, see chat
/ never really cared for you, but your
cousin. You will please relinquish
all Obligations and believe that it was
mere friendship that led me to seek
your company. Respectfully,
&c. GogAN"
The other letter was an entirely diff
ferent one, begging for the heart and
hand of the young lady and telling
her that it was only she that he
loved, etc, etc.
Miss SnIven's eyes were filed with
triumph as she arose and glanced
into her cousins pale, miserable face,
for well she guessed the purport of
that other note,
In few hours Clyde Goran had re-
ceived an answer to his love letter,
one that accepted him and filed his
heart with joy.
"You may call at c. the note ran,
'and be received by one who always
loved you. Signed

man reached Rocklands that night

asked old Mrs Doane, raising her
mild brown eyes from her work and
preparing for tirade.
"Whv, she Is the most presumptious

ster hotly. "Clyde Goran came by n

once. and what could Clyde do but
invite her to join us, which She did,
of course, and broke mp our tete'a-

TOO badw murmured the old lady,
who had been an interested listener
to her granddaughter's harangue.
"Daisy mustn't try to break mp your
love affairs, for she should remember
that she has many years to live single

Getting oldr interrupted Miss
Sniven, with shrug of the should

SO things continued this way for
several days, while Miss Sniven ~ ait
ed anxioUsly and patiently for Clyde
Goran to propose, for she felt sure
that the young gentleman preferred
her womanly dignity to Daisy's silly
manners.
Meanwhile Daisy noticing Clyde'5
attentions to her cousin felt piqued
and began to carry on Irritation with
Ross Winfred, young man who
had long wanted 70 become Il spiter
to her hand.
One night Mr. Goran called with
the intention of bringing matters to
a satisfactory close with Daisy by
asking her to he his wife.
He was met at the door 10y Miss
Angelina, who told him that Cousin
Daisy was entertaining Mr.. Winfred,

mar, turning on his heel and strldiDg

grind her teeth in rage because her
ruse had failed.
Upon reaching his boarding place,
Clyde's anger had abated and he de-
termined to write to his "faire ladie'
and ask her hand and heart. He also
concluded to pen short epistle to
Miss Angelina explaining that he had
never meant anything by attention.
