Various designers have different spe-
cialties-sOme flowers. others achites-
tural ideas. etc.-and of recent years
architects have devoted many of their
spare moments to originating wall pa-
per designs.
A complete design consists Of three
pieces-side-wall. border and ceiling.
The general width of patterns of the
side wall and ceiling. as used in the
trade, and manufactured by American
machinery, is eighteen inches. and the
length of the repeat in the pattern is
either eleven and three-fourths or
fourteen and three-fourths or seven
teen and three-fourths inches. as
suggested by the character of the de-
sign, the shorter repeats peing the most
satisfactory to the trade In general.
Many of the best effects are produced
In papers containing only four to six
colors. but as many as twenty or twen-
ty-five are sometimes used. Each color
and shade in a design means a separate
roller to the manufacturer.

Miss Berkley." began Singleton. The
critical moment was at hand. Single
tons face was pale. and his gaze sought
Miss Berkley's eyes. She appeared to
the texture OF a rug at her feet. and her
fingers toyed nervously with the fringe
on the arms of her chair. Dame Fate
had reported for duty.
Miss Berkeley three months ago,
after having known you only three
weeks, ! asked you to be my wife. You
refused me. We have now known each
other for nearly four months. and have
had ample time to reconsider what we
then said. I have reflected seriously on
what l am about to say, and having.
during the past three months, learned
to regard you more earnestly and de-
votedly than before, ! will now take the
liberty of repeating my proposal. VIII
you be my wife?"
Miss Bekley rose and. with averted
face. made her way slowly towards the
window. Singleton rose also, but did
not follow her. Thus for several mo-
ments they stood in silence. Why did
not the lady answer him? Surely the
egotist was at her mercy now. One lit
tie word-the simplest in the language
would humble all his conceit and sat
isfy her curiosity. She has but to
speak that word and turn her head to
see how Athur Singleton would look
in the presence of defeat. Why did she
not say it?
The little onyx clock on the mentel
licked joyously-tick after tick until
sixty were told. Then it started on an
other sixty.
You do not answer me-" said SIN
gletOn quietly.
All, but she did! A moment later he
had his answer. 1t came gently-it
was scarcely more than a whisper-but
1t came.

Will you try it again. Singleton, or
have you had enough? Not SO irresist-
ible with the ladies as you thought. eh,
Singleton? Well, go buy a box of bon
bons-the best that can be bought
there's a good fellow. She won them
fairly. Miss Berkeley still continued to
gaze out of the window. Did she Won

had not turned her eyes in his direc-
ton; but she knew. His face was pale.
his lips were compressed, and there was
an expression of overwhelming disap-
pointment in his eyes. She knew 1t all.
Singleton advanced and extended his
hand. How 1t came to pass that hers
found a place in his she never knew.
But she will never forget that smile
which she then saw on Singleton's lips.
1t was not a cheerful one.

"Good-by."
"Good-byew exclaimed Miss Berk-
ley softly. in a tone of surprise.
"Yes, goodbye" he returned.
"Three months ago you said that re-
jected lover would find 1t difficult to
maintain the position of a disinterested

and drowsed together, till at length
Miss Berkley reached the conclusion
that Mr.. Singleton was deriving rather
more satisfaction from her society
than he deserved. She consequently
resolved to give him a preliminary

Just to see how he would be likely TO

About this time Lady Plympton gave
a bali in honor of the homecoming of
her son, Captain George, who had. for
several years served her majesty in a
military capacity in India. Singleton
besought of Miss Berkeley the privilege
Of escorting her to the function, and 1t
was accorded him; but when he be-
sought of her the further privilege OF

HAD TO WAIT HIS TURN.

In the days of General Sam Houston
dueling was much more common than
now.
After removing to Texas Gen. Houston
happened to give offense to a political op-
ponent, who felt his honor disfigured to
such an extent that he sent a challenge to
Houston, runs story in the Knoxville
Journal. The bearer Of the challenge was
received with courtly civility. He handed
the written challenge to Gen. Houston,
who read 1t. and taking up his pen wrote
something across the back of the folded
paper and placed 1t in a pigeonhole of his
desk. He then went on to entertain the
bearer CT the challenge with the pleasant
conversation for which he was noted.
After time the man began TO grow inn
patient, and. reminding the general Of the
challenge. asked him II he was going TO
reply.

Singleton turned toward the table.
and, appropriating his hat. gloves and

But Miss Berkeley was at the door ana,
what Is more she had her back against
it-thus cutting off his retreat.
"Tll not let you go till you promise

lady.

That Singleton was angry. It would
have been vain to deny. He felt that'

knob OF the door and a moment later
felt Miss Berkley's hand fall gently
upon 1t.
"You need not send me those bon
hons. M. Singleton" faltered the lady
as her eyes sought the well-handled
but insensible knob; then. as Singleton
remained silent, she looked up and real

altogether agreeable.
"If you will leave me your address
I'll-Til send you the bookmark by

withdrawing her hand from the door

Having thus spoken, Miss Berkeley
abandoned her position at the door,
and made her way dejectedly toward
the widow. Singleton for few mo-
.ments looked as II he had taken leave
Of his senses.
"Do you mean-?" he exclaimed.
II mean that I haven't much conf

saucily.
Singleton, dropping his hat. stick

clasping the lady in his arms-well
he kissed her, and she let him.

CHAPTER II.

Singleton. in the fields, confessed that
he had never before had such exc

ley, In The library, acknowledged that
never before had the hours seemed so

things. Was Singleton coming, or

These were her reflections in the morn

Just how much Singleton cared for that

Calling on her then. What WAS there in
Mr.. Singleton that pleased Mrs. Col

to ascertain by comparing Singleton
with some other young men of her ac-

actions, mental and physical character
fsta-s, habits, virtues, and those vices
whiclh she had contrived to unearth.
The result was that she brought a
great deal about Singleton that after
noon; but why did the man not come T?
