The scene is a room In a country ho-
tel; the speaker. John Fitzgerald. In
the language Of the country. a "city
chap" with some good looks. a little
money. and abundant conceit.
The good-losklng country girl re-
ferred to is Alice Deyine. the belle Of
the village, who lives In the house on
the hill.
Alice was an orphan. Her parents
had both died when she was very
young. leaving her In the care Of Aunt
Dlnah, an old colored woman who had
been with them for years. and who
since their death had taken care OF the
house and looked after her dear young
'missus,' whom she fairly worshiped.
Tom Prince was a whole-soulod. fine
looking country young man. and dead

Dinah's favorite. besides being Sc
cretly engaged to the country belle.
Joseph Fitzgerald had made the ac-
quaintancc OF both Alice aud Tom
through a mutual friend.
Women, II would seem, whether
country or city-born, are imbued with
an Inherent love Of fiirting. and Alice
had Immediately commenced n desper-
ate Irritation with Mr.. Fitzgerald,
who soon became positive that she was
deeply In love with him.
The city chap" was no favorlto OF
Aunt Dnah's. and the old woman often
took occasion to tell her young mis-
sus" Just what she thought OF him.
Tom. too did not like to see his
sweetheart so often with Mr. FltEger-
aid. but when he told her so she an
swered that he must not be jealous,
for she would not have Jealous man
for her husband. and. besides. they
were not married yet SO poor Tom
had to bear II the best he could and
content himself with secretly wishing

All this. It must be remembered. was
