her present career. "Then. tonight!

Miss Benton looked serious. II Will

IA very poor excuse. And you know

very much displeased."
II have not been disagreeaDle."
"You have been very disagreeable. l
have to tell tbs to mamma all the time

"Oh, Mllly. is that SOP" He tried to
take her hand.
"You needn't take my hand. didn't
do it because cared for YOU"
Mr.. Parftt rose in gloomy despair.
"lf that is so, may as we'll leave.
You never cared for me-"
He tottered out of the room. Just as
he reached the outer door a soft voice
called:
Herbert"
"Well?"
"Come backw

Come back and find out"
Curiosity! Thy name is man. He
turned and walked back. On approach
| ing the young lady she said:
Il just wanted to see whether you
would come or not-that's all. Good

A speechiess rage at this answer de-
prlved the gentleman of ability TO do
nything but glare.
1t must be very gratifying to q little
hve-foot acknowledgements woman to
put stalwart SiX-foOt specimen of mas
cullne humanity into a towering fury
ana see him stride up and down the
room and breathe stertOrously and swell
with impolent rage. For woman can
often put man into just such box,
! when there is frequently nothing he
can do in return except keep her in the
| room to hear his futile tuning. and that
| she does not mind at all. He may not
| shake her. and he does not like to say
| quite all he thinks. especially if they
are not married vet.
The gentleman pumped down in a
| seat.

mop Miss Bonton yawned.
Il am going to have it out with you"

i "Miss Benton, did it ever occur to you
what dreadful thing it is to tritle with
a mans atfections?" he asked, in husky
! tones.
| "Often." very sweetly.
And yet you keep on doing it?''
Yes. must have some pleasure when
you are so disagreeable."
There you go again calling me-"
Exactly what you are"
"Do yon always give to persons the
! terms that exactly apply? If SO, remem-
Der you called your beautiful Mr.. All

~"Well, lie is as stupid as one.''
| a beatific ray Of gladness lit upon Mr..
Parftt's gloomy face at this answer.
! You don't love him, them"
Love him! What put such all idea

! And you do care for me little bit?'

'My darling, cruel, sweet Milly!"
Herbert exclaimed, Selling her hand.
MY disagreeable, old: dear of a Her.
, bertn murmured Milly, patting his
hand atfectionately.
You do care for me?"
''Of course"
After these handsome concessions.
the unfortunate god who has the BRAIN
enervating task of presiding over lovers
quarrelS withdrew to his well-earaed
refreShment of nectar and ambrosia, and
| the god of peaceful love took up his
| place over their heads.
Poor, little Mr.. Andrews thought that
| he had made deep impression upon
| the charming Miss Benton, but meeting
her few days later, he was undeceived.
But he thinks it was all Fanny's fault
| for going away so early.

! faction, who will take the trouble to
enlighten the donkey?
