sHE Had a REAsON.

The old gentleman looked at her pretty
sharply over the tops of his glasses. and
she instantly prepared to repel charge.
She had an idea that something was
wrong when he sent for her, and when he
scowled at her over the tops of his glasses
she was sure of it.
Il suppose. Ethel" he said and there
was just a trace of sarcasm in his tone,
that you are a sensible girl of the modern
day and always have good reason for
everything that you do
81 do not think that any action of any
Importance can be attributed to me that
I cannot give "a good reason for, papa"
she answered confidently.
Il have always thought you a little
above the average sentimental lovesick
girl" persisted the old gentleman.
81 think l may safely say that I am"
asserted the girl.
81 have fattered myself" went on the
old gentleman, that my daughter would
never let her emotions get the better Of
her common sense"
You were right" she said: but she
was suspicious and uneasy. owing to a
doubt rs to what was TO follow this rather
extrao.3 mary Introduction.
Possibly, possibly" conceded the old
gentleman; but don't feel so certain Of
il as | did yesterday. You see. last even
ing I happened to pass the parlor door a
few minutes before young BliflNins left"
There seemed to be a little more color to
her cheeks now than there had been half
a minute before, and she retained her self
possession and merely said: "Yes?' in an
inQuirinE tone.
Yes" repeated the Old gentleman. with
solemnity; and Just before the door
opened and YOU and Mr.. Blifkins came out
I heard a sound that. in the case of any
less emotional and less sentimental girl
than you, Ethel, l should have called a
smack"
His scowl had deepened but she looked
at him fearlessly. for she was a resource
full girl and knew that all was not yet
lost.
1T was smack, papa" she said bold
ly Il cannot tell you an untruth; it was
a smack; but there was an excellent rea-
son for it. You have not misjudged me in
believing me to be a girl who reasons
closely and is diplomatic in all the affairs
of life. You know yourself it was getting
late and that was the only way 1 could
get him to go"
She hooked at him with the air Of one
who had made strong defense, and all he
could do was to sigh and say;
Better not try 10 hurry him next time.
Just leave that for your poor old father"
