who pleases them. Marriage for them
is matter of business, nothing more,
and the woman herself does not
count. They marry when they have
lost their money, and the little heart
they possessed has been frittered
away on some Mrs. Laton or an
other"
Again Mrs. Harmon arose, and,
pretending. she had an order to give,
excused herself and fastened to her
nephew.
"Wel1, aunt, she has given us nice
dressing down, eh? For charming
girl I would back her against the
world"
"Hurry, Andrew; it is late, and you
have almost missed your tea"
''My teal" he repeated. Bother
my tea! Is there nothing else in the
world but my tea? Now you must
find an excuse to bring me into the
room, and I'll show that young shrew
whether all men are fools. Oh, she
need have no fear, shall not try to
marry her, for I still have all my
hair, and a little money, and heart
still intact
Mrs. Harmon could not refrain a
smile at the young mans vexation,
and five minutes later Andrew enter
ed the drawing-room.
But, contrary to expectations, the
conversation did not become a war of
words; on the contrary, the girls
fresh gayety disarmed Andrews an
ger at once. His preconception fed
before her dimpled smiles and her
her charm, forgetting his anger in
his admiration for her graceful move
ments, the penetrating timber of her
voice, the sparkle of her wit.
The hour for the tea had long pass
ed, and Andrew was still there He
had lost all desire to run after Mrs
Laton, that faded doll whom Rosa
mond-as he was forced to admit to
himself-had portrayed so truthfully.
And ensconced once more in the
depths of her arm chair, Mrs. Har-
mon smiled a kindly smile, and 81
lently regarded the young people,
who, for their part, looked at one
another with looks that do not de-
ceive, and in which the old aunt read
with joy the hope of a happy union.

ing his eye to the crack, was struck
by the pretty face he beheld.
"Well, Rosamond, what are you do
ing nowadays? Are you going out
much?'
"No, very little. had a card for
Mrs. Laton's tea this afternoon, but
I wrote her 1 was ILL., You will not
betray me, will you?" and she laugh
heart to vibrating.
''Do you not care for such affairs?"
asked Mrs. Harmon.
''Surely, Mrs. Harmon, you do not
think it would be amusing to spend
an hour or two watching Mrs. Laton's
firtations, with no one to talk to but
the insipid women and stupid men of
her set?"
| 'You are severe, my child"
Severe? Well, with a woman like
Mrs. Laton | do not think one can be
too much So"
Instinctively Mrs. Harmon raised |
her eyes to the door that concealed |
Andrew, and, under pretext of ar
ranging the portiere, she crossed the |
room, and, as she arranged the drap- |
cry, whispered to her nephew: cts |
nearl y fve-you'll be late for your
tea"
But her warning was -unheeded;
Andrew did not bulge. AS for the
girl by the fire, she was still full of
her idea.
''Do you know Mrs. Laton, Mrs.
Harmon?" she asked
eyes, yes,' the old lady FASTENED to
reply; and to turn the conversation
she went on: "But you are wrong to
declare that all men are stupid There
are some who are quite sensible.''
"Sensible? Well, I don't know
: them. | do not mean that they are
all stupid, but they think themselves
so superior that they are wearisome.

bleached hair, smears paint on her
face as if it were a palette, and whose
brains are good for nothing but to de-
wise outrageous gowns"
Again Mrs. Harmon cast an uneasy
glance toward the little room, in
which Andrew was fast waxing an
cry. He would have liked to strangle
this girl, whose supurb health and
triumphant beauty irritated him.
''And when will you get married
my dear?" suggested Mrs. Harmon,
again throwing herself into the
breach.
Il shall never marry.''
Indeed? Why not?''
why not?''' repeated Rosamond, a
shadow of melancholy coming over
the face that Andrew admired in
spite of himself. because [ am a

MRS. LATON's TEA.


ed with crown of snow, Mrs. Har-
mon was considering her nephew An
drew, a good-looking young fellow of
%, who, for his part, was considering
the timepiece on the mantel, whose
hands were already past three o'clock.
"Well, Andrew, do you find the
clock very Interestingly"
In some confusion the young man
stammered an excuse, but she went
on:
"Now don't deny it, you naughty
fellow. You wanted to know if your
visit had lasted long enough for you
to take your departure decently."
"Not at all, aunt. Your guess is
quite wrong, for [ haven't the slight
est intention of going yet. But why
do you keep a regular sun dial like
that in your drawing room?"
"Perhaps because [ was born so
long ago that it is I and not the clock
that is behind time. But come-in-
stead of criticising my drawing-room,
tell me what you are going to do
when you leave here"
Gin the first place I am not going
to leave here for some time; butwhen
have wearied you with my presence
until you cannot stand it any longer,
it will be time for me to go to Mrs.
Laton's tea
"Mrs. Laton-Pauline Laton?"
"The same''
"Ah, yes. | used to see her some
time ago. [ remember her vaguely
a large woman, dark"
'She is blonde, aunt
Indeed? She used to be brunette
And SO you are signing at the feet of
Mrs. Laton?"
eve are all signing at her feet.''
"She must enjoy it,
"Well [ rather think she does.''
"Is it fun?''
Eyes, after a fashion. We are al
ways the same little circle of friends,
and then, besides Mrs. Laton, there's
a sister, rather good-looking girl,
and a few other young matrons and
bachelor girls
"And what do you do besides look
at these women?'
eve take tea, which we moderate
with rum, bit of lemon; we gossip
and we firt.'
"But, my dear aunt, one must do
something between five o'clock and
dinner
Evidently, and flirting is what you
have found to do.''
''It is way to kill time.''
II scarcely know what you mean
by the term. Explain it to me-
ooh, impossible. A definition for
the word has long been sought, but
it has not yet been found. But, given
a young woman tete-a-tete with a
young man who is not a fool, and I
warrant you it won't be long before
you will have a practical demonstra-
ton. Filtration is manner of being
discreetly indiscreet. To know how
to firt is no common accomplish
ment. 1t is veritable SCIENCE

mo, it is rather an art"

sternatiOn in her victims face. Then
she answered, after a pause:
Eyes, you are right. [ wish you to
get married.
"In heavens name what have I done
to you?" gasped the young man, with
comic seriousness; and, as the old
lady smiled, he continues: "See here
aunt, [ should never have suspected
you of such a thing. You, woman
of intelligence, superior woman, de-
scending to the role of matchmaker!
1t is a terrible SCATTERING of my
ideals.'
Come, come, my poor boy, do not
be so cast down. The girl is charm

"Of course Andrew burst out
'the girl is always charming. Oh,

may not be exactly pretty, but, as
you have said, she is charming She
dresses admirably, and makes all hel

her classes in school, and attends lee

or can suit me, and I shall remain

"And you go to take tea at Mrs
Laton's," murmured Mrs. Harmon be
! tween her teeth, while a DISTURBING
expression came into her clear-seein
old eyes.
Under this ironical and even inquis
itorial look Andrew lost countenanc
a little; he could not deny that t.

He was pulling himself together t.

The Bryan club arrived home
about midnight. The coaches carry
ing the club were attached to q
freight train and brought to Rock
Island. Through some misunder-
standing on the part Of the crew the
train failed to be pulled into the de-
pot. instead stopping q considerable
distance up in the yards. This nat.
urally caused much displesture
among the passengers, who were
obliged to foot it down town.

Aside from the people Of the three

John r. Tanner is coming to Rock

Such an act of brazen effrontery

announced program, Tanner is to
come to Rock Island in company
with the high officers Of Py thianhood
next Tuesday, and no doubt the aim
will be to seize the occasion of the
