''Oh, George, you love anothert'
Such were the words of q fair, pale girl
as she chung to the arm of q tall, handsome
man in the dimly lighted parlor of her ia
theirs home.
He was such a man as women love. and
this fair girl loved him.
They had been sweethearts for months,
and the day was approaching when their
plighted truth was to be redeemed.
Into her heart a doubt had come, and it
had found expression in the opening words
of this CHAPTER
Darling" he said chidingly, chow fool
ishly you talk You know 1 do not
But you do, DEAR she insisted. Il have
been watching you. and 1 have seen it,
''How could yOu?'' he con .ended tenderly.
'sThere is no one in all the world love as
do you
She gazed fondly into his handsome eyes.
laid her soft, white hand careSsingly on his
rich brown hair and whispered her words of
admiration into his willing ear, until he
was so inflated with pride that the buttons
on his beautifully fitting coat began to
stretch their necks.
How silly of my little girl to say her
George loves another!'' he smiled he
looked down into her sweet face.
She shook her head less doubtfully
than before. Come now,' he coaxed, tell
me who this person is love more than I
do you-''
She was silent.
Tell me-" he murmured, taking her in
his arms.
Yourself, George" she sighed hopeless
ly, for she was onto her George, and she
knew that such a love was Interchangeable
from the cradle to the grave.
1t is a difficult matter, dear reader, for a
handsome man to be in love with anything
else, and don't you forget it, especially if
you awoman.-Detroit Free Press.

sends up its initial four trim, pretty.
light green leaves. When once these
are thrifty growing yOu may be al
most sure of your plant
I like to SOW the seed in boxes in the
house; it is SO very interesting 20 watch
them grow. 1t takes such very little
time for the seeds to poke their little
green promise ebove the soil, and so
very soon the smiling blooms appear
1t is a good plant for the amateur to
begin with, being such slight tax on
the patience, as few plants admit
When your tiny plants are two inches
high transplant in to thumbs and pinch
out the top. Going on with the growth,
continue the shifting and pinching
processes until they are in fOir-inch
pots, then desist; you will have finely
rounded compact little plants which
will soon be perfect little pyramids of
fragrant blooms
A convenient and effective way of
growing the alyssum is to SOW the
seed directly in long narrow boxes
fitted to the window sill and about
four inches deep Its needs, grown
thus, viii be light, moisture, not too
hot sunshine, very occasionally weak
liquid manure and-room to spread it
self Given these, it will more than
reward you for your care of it by send
ing out, surprisingly soon, a munifi-
cence of dainty bloom, small and shyly
at first, as though half afraid of its
first impression upon you, but waxing
stronger and stronger, and sweeter
and sweeter, until you grow to love it
in the heartwhole way its winsome-
ness deserves. The seed may be sown
directly in the border where it is to
bloom or it may be transplanted with
perfect ease Sovn thickly, it makes
beautiful edging plant or distinct
line in ribbon bed But do not let
it grow too ranlxly, keep it trimmed
and pinched in, and in place, and if
after awhile it is going too much to
seed shear it back sharply. 1t will
then spring up to a fresh growth and
be all the lovelier for the seemingly
rough treatment Then in the autumn
you will find around the larger plants
the tiny four-leaved ones springing up
which are just what you want in guam
tity for your window garden A pretty
effect is produced by growing the
alyssum in clumps between taller
plants. 1t will spread itself out like
an oval mat and be mass of bloom
Sweet alyssum makes a beautiful
bracket plant 1t should then be
pinched in less, rather allowed to grow
in its natural hayward beauty, and
though the branches attain no great
length it is pretty in such a position
