the way to a garden seat and sat down.
There was a pause for a brief space.
Then she said abruptly and curiously:

you give me up because was flippant?
Or is there some other reason?'
Hugh felt himself flush uncomfort-
ably. but her face was hidden now BY
the Tapping brim of her hat as she toyed
with the bunch of syringa blossoms she.

rose in love inspiring incense and af-

He gave q quick, short laugh to hide
the feeling in his voice he could not
quite control.

heavy with reproach. But never mind.

He turned the letter over and loving

tion of surprise. 1t had been delayed for
nearly q month and smelled of sea wa

HE should be here by this if he left

To sec you again-how good it will be-"
Ten years had passed since this man
said goodby to him. Hugh was then a
lad Of 20, just out of college and in the
first stage Of his love affair with pretty
Jenny Walton.
How we'll he remembered the morn
ing the ship sailed away, the haze that
came over the sunlight, making it neces-
sary for him to wink his eyes very hard.
How we'll he remembered and how dear
the memory was!

He sighed as he threw tho letter into

"Dreaming?" asked a low voice ut
his elbow.
He turned with o start. Marian stood
just outside the window. She wore q
thin, white gown. A big hat cast q
shadow over her eyes. Her lips were
daintily parted.
'We were returning from a drive,
France and !, and passing saw you
here. If disturb You, send me away. ="
This with saucy smile, as she leaned
her shoulder comfortably against the
side of the window and turned her face
to him.
It was long since he had heard those
sweet, discontinued tones.

IN silence. It was almost dark now.
Romantic couples strolled by engrossed
with each other. From q neighboring
street the high voices Of children sing
ing ring song came plaintively to
their ears.
There was, ecstasy to Hugh in the
beauty Of the night. The breath of the
flowers. Marian's low tones. his sense
of her nearness, stirred the poetry in his
nature to its depths. They were silent.
BIT speech would only have Jared the
Unfolding. serene delight of the twi-
light.
Suddenly he remembered Marks
coming and asked impulsively:
lyon like to meet all sorts of people,
don't you?''
"Just as some people collect books.
Some are labeled heavy, some light,
some trashy and some odd.
Have you given me place in that
collection?" and there was q playful
menace in his voice.
Yes" with sudden seriousness.

She gave him her hand, and then, as
if she had forgotten that fact, but of
which he remained intensely conscious,
paused to ask one more question.
1t has just occurred to me that you
have never spoken of religion. Are you

voice, as if her brows were lifted.

doubtfully.

The shrill voice came like false

little nearer, her head thrown impera-

with the spell Of a sorceress in them,

Her hand nestled closer in his. His
heart beat fast.
"And to avoid temptation" he said
clearly.
There was something disdainful in
the way her fingers left his loosening

Be King in Floral World.

This is a season of the year when
florists shops are rich in blooms not
seen since last fall, the new arrival
being the chrysanthemum. In this
particular flower the ingenuity of the
grower has been taxed to produce
something out of the ordinary. but the
season 50 far is not destined to be
marked by the Introduction of any
hing 50 unusual in the way of fiori-
cultural progress that it is likely to
attract any attention.
There will be freaks now and then
- the florists windows. but freaks are
ophemeraI things. and comparatively
Few people see them. From now until
Christmas the chrysanthemum will
eign supreme. 1t will be the king of
The floral world and will fill vases or
.'yahzes." as the case may be, in all
properly appointed parlors. During
;heir reign NUNS will be seen
everywhere. They will do duty at
Aoth weddings and funerals, and on;
social occasions of every ina ginable
kind. 1t is neck and neck race for
popularity between NUNS and roses.
Dealers consider it doubtful if any
thing in the floral line can permanent
u displace the latter flower The
american Beauty especially is running
ahead of all former records. In new
roses the Madam Testout and Belle
Slebrecht are making strong bids for
favor, so is the Meteor. This resembles
the old Jaque. but has Tea blood in it
and is an ever bloomer. In pink roses
the Bridemaid unquestionably has the
lead. Few of its friends outside the
trade, however. know that it is derived
rom the old Mermet.
