ed scandal-monger lacked courage to APP
proach her on the subject of Dicks de-
linquencies, past and present.
1 say present" advisedly, for, though
he contemplated matrimony, he did not
contemplate giving up the amusements
and associations that belonged of right
to his bachelor days Certainly those
amusements and associations were less in
evidence than they had been before his
engagement, but they remained in the
background all the same-and he intended
them to remain.
Most men pull up a little when they
marry and go steadier, at any rate, for
time; but Dick did not mean to. He meant
to go on as he had begun. In short, in
stead of his proposing to relinquish the
aforesaid amusements and associations
that he might marry Maisie, he proposed
to marry Maisie that he might not be
obliged to relinquish the amusements and
associations That is the case in a nut
shell.
For he had come to the end Of his tether
at last. The patience of his long-suffer-
ing creditors was exhausted, the Jews
would have nothing more to say to him, his
signature was a drug in the money-lend-
Ing market, and ruin, absolute and com
plete, stared him in the face.
In such desperate strait there were
two alternatives left to him-and two
only. One was social extinction, immedi-
ate and for all time; the other was to
marry money. OF two evils choose the
least, and he chose to marry money
His choice fell on Maisie for reasons
that were sufficiently practical. He pro-
posed and was accepted; after which he
proceeded to play the role of devoted lover
to the best of his ability, and It was a role
for which his handsome face and delight
full manners eminenty fitted him.
But Maisie knew nothing of all this.
Ia
innocent, and doubtless, she suspected
that Dick, in common with other men,
had sown a certain amount of wild oats
I'm his time, but that he was still assldu-
ously engaged In sowing them she did not
suspect. Dick knew she did not suspect,
and he prayed devoutly that her suspi-
cions might not be aroused, at all events
until the marriage was an accomplished
fact
The oddly assorted pair regarded their
engagement and coming marriage from
totally different standpolnts. Dicks
heart was in no way concerned and his
view of the case was that Of a selfish.

world to her, and as the golden summer
days sped by, she dreamed the dream that
comes to no woman twice IN q life time.
SO things went on, ana the all-impOrtant
day that was to change Maisie Challoner
into Mrs Dick Ferrars drew nearer and
nearer until q was only a week away.

pleasant little breeze from the outside
world stole it's way through the chinks
in the striped awning, the dreamy music
of the violins thrilled sweetly in the dis
lance. The dim light fell rosily on
Maisie's fair unified face. with its CHS
eled features and satin skin, and the
great gray eyes that were so full of wo-
manly softness and tenderness. She made
a charming picture as she sat there, lean
ing idly back on the somber plush pillows
a charming picture of warm, living, love-
ly color.
Dick spoke lightly but he looked at
her with a certain amount of anxiety. He
could not help feeling anxious sometimes.
So much depended on this last venture
of his, and he was not safe, even yet.
There was whole week Of uncertainty
before him, plenty of time that for things

1t was subject that he did not care to
pursue to its logical conclusion.
A faint pink flush stole softly into Mai
sizes cheeks. 1t was a very pretty flush,
and Dick admired it critically from an
artistic point of view, though it did not
make his pulses beat one whit the faster.
1T strikes me-pleasantly," she answer

smiled
The smile was as pretty in its way as
the flush. and the two combined were
altogether adorable. Dicks heart thrill

warmer feeling.
That is just how IL strikes me-" he
said, and laid his hand caressingly on her
soft bare arm. Such a pretty arm
round and white and dimpled as a baby's.
She smiled at him again, and his con-
science smote him, as il did from time TO
time, for he was not all bad. vague
sense of remorse stole into his heart.
chilling him unpleasantly. He could not
meet the perfect love and trust that shone
in her eyes, and feel no shame.
"Tn go and get you an ice" he said,
rising from his seat, with a desperate sort
Of feeling that he must be alone for a
minute. wait here till / come back, and

He hurried away, and Maisie, left alone,
leaned back on her pillows and gave her
self up to pleasant meditation.

Mr.. J. A. Cruikshank, the affable and
energetic southern agent for the Con
necticut Indemnity Association, of Wa
terbury, Conn, returned to Greenwood
from the east the first of this week.
Mr.. Cruikshark' visit to the home
Office of the company he represents,
was occasioned hy a desire to remedy an
oversight which occurred when Crnik
shank 4 Clayton assumed the southern
agency.
10 appears that these gentlemen, be
lieved that the main Office, as is usually
the case, had taken ont the necessary
state papers; while the officials ut Water
bury believed that their agent had com
piled with these regulations. Rival
agents, hearing Of this in~adverdance,
made considerable capital of it, especi-
ally in this vicinity. Mr.. Cruikshank

that gentleman. In regard to the effect
this oversight would have on his bust
ness, Mr.. Cruikshank said to a Com
monwealth representative;
1T will have no effect whatever. ri.
val agents simply take this slight over
sight and distort it into a terrible affair,
in the hope of in.iuring our business. 1t
is an u~nderhanded method to which we

taken out policies with ms are men of
intelligence and will readily appreciate
at their full worth the vituperative re
ports circulated with regard to our
methods, and If anything it will but
strengthen the friendship which has
been expressed for us throughout the
south"
When asked in what manner he would
refute the stories of rival agents, Mr..
C%ruikshank said:
1T is beneath our dignity to descend
to the methods practiced by our rivals,
The contest, if contest there be, will be
conducted by us in a gentlemanly man
ner. We are perfectly willing, even
