The L'Anse sentinel. (L'Anse, L.S., Mich.) 18??-current, 1895-10-19

| "IIave you any .dca how homely you
look when you have your hair made
up in that way?" he asked.
The cruel candor of the question
made her gasp. for he had always
vowed that she looked beautiful In
every way.
"Why." she answered, saucily, there
are other people who like IL very much
In this way"
"Who, for instance?"
Reggie Burnett"
A detestable fellow. whom Fred
would not honor by considering as a
rival
II am proud to find you value his
opinion more than minc," he answered,
holly
"Hc, at least, does not neglect to
pay when he loses wager" she re-
spondcd, looking about for the expect
ed box of candies.
Then he is just the man for you to
make wagers with.
"Thanks for the advice. shall ar
range one with him the next time he
calls"
And you can make NJ your hair in
exactly tho way he likes IL"
1T is that way now"
Perhaps You are expecting him to-
night" he remarked suspiciously
The suspicion hurt her more than his
anger and she began to lose Lor tenn
per too
II didn't say was not"
That is why you are so disagree
able to me! You wish TO drive me
away, SO that you can have the even
ing free to spend it with him"
"lIow clever of you to guess it ALL"
They had both forgotten their
original purpose by this time and were
really angry with each other
"And this" he said, with all the
calinness he could command, sis the
girl who has promised To marry me!'
She hasn't married. you yet, and she
never will"
Very we'll! 1t is good it is not too
late"
81 am glad it isn't!'
Indeed! Then, Miss Bond. shall
bid you good night, and leave you to
enjoy the company OF those whose adj
miration you prize SO highly
He rushed into the hallway and
picked up his hat As he raised it to
his head n shower of assorted candies
ratified about him ard scattered over
the carpet. BY distracting his mind
from his anger for moment this little
accident brought him 10 his senses. He
felt that he could not leave her so, and
returned TO the parlor to ask il he
might ring for servant to sweep up
the candies
As he stepped back to the parlor
door he saw that May had thrown her
self on the sofa and was sobbing vio-
lcntly. With one hand she was taking
the pins out of her hair and pulling it
down about her shoulders.
1t is almost always true OF lovers
quarrcls that repentance comes swiftly,
thoug h reconciliation may be slow. He
no sooner saw that she was crying than
he remembered he had set to work to
make her cry. Everything else-her
exasperating conduct and all-was for
gotten in an instant. He rushed to
her side, and putting his arm about
her, pleaded:
Forgive me, won't you, dear? l
had no right TO act SO disagreeably, and
| am very sorry"
She instantly showed him very
fearful face.
mo! No! 1t is who should ask for
forgiveness, | made up my hair in
that horrid way on purpose TO anger
you. viii you forgive me?'
They forgave in the conventional
way. a moment later she laughed
through the tears that were still fall
ing, as she reached up and took a
cream drop out OF his hair.
"Why, how did that get therc?"
"O | brought that box of candias
and left it in my hat in the hallway.
When ! was putting on my hat l
spilled the boxful of candies over my
self. The floor is covered with them"
"Then you brought them after all?"
Yes! | hid them out there just to
tease you"
"Why?" she asked. Then she re-
mcmbcrcd that she had done up her
hair to provoke him. They both
looked instinctively at the paper and
then at each other.
Were you reading those jokes, too?"
he asked.
She nodded, shamefacedly.
And you thought you would not
be fool enough to marry me with
out having seen me cnragcd?"
"Well, suppose you feel the DIETER
OF having seen me cry" she answered,
saucily.
At this point there occurred n lack Of
matter, such as Rosalind says should
be supplied with kiss. Presently she
whispered: Fred, dear, have
thought of another maxim that should
be added to the two horrid ones in that
paper"
What is it?"
"Only n pair of fools would ever
try to be as wise as newspaper
humorist. IN. Y. Truth.
