"You can't think what an effort 1t
cost me-" he said.
What an effort, indeed!
Il do hope you will let me Keep it as
memento?"
''Yes-if you will promise to forgive
me?'
''Oh, there is nothing to forgive! 1t
was very good of you."
AT this moment caught glimpse of
her face, and was forced to admit that
Debenham had some reason for his ex-
travagant praise.
And you will not think the worse of
me for-for trying to deceive you?" he
went on. Really, he was getting posi-
lively absurd, from his voice one would
have supposed that he was prisoner
suing for his life.
''Oh, think better of you!" she cried.
II shall never forget your kindness.
And as she gave him her hand she
blushed in a ridiculous fashion.
Then Debenham made an ass of him
self. Instead of simply shaking hands
and saying good-morning, he held her
fingers and said nothing, but just
stared at her in moonstruck kind of
way that was quite idiotic, and she
dropped her head like little silly and
went the color of a peony; then. But
at this point / couldn't stand it any
longer, and l quietly withdrew.
OF course, was not in the least as

with good deal of stammering, con-
fessed that he was engaged. He seemed
quite amazed when ! betrayed no SUR

been a witness of his folly.
I was presented to the future Mrs.
Debenham and her sister few days
later. When Debenham asked me what

FLORENCE GOT EVEN.
How She Curfailed the Calls Of
Her Privileged Elder Sisters
Young Men.

There are three sisters living in q
fashionable portion of the South side,
each of whom has q particular young
man. The devotion of each of the young
men is sufficient to make him visit the
young woman of his choice at least
three evenings week. AS the number
of evenings in week is limited, it often
happens that the three young men call
on the three sisters on the same night.
The proud mother is unable to re-
alize that all her girls are grown up,
and still clings to the delusion that her
youngest daughter is still little girl
Many are the trials of the youngest
springing from that delusion. One of
her heaviest burdens is the rule that
her caller must leave promptly at ten
o'clock, although her sisters callers are
allowed to stay until they are moved OF
their own free will to depart. What 10
more, the youngest believes that her
mother does not care to what extent she
is mortified. Consequently, many are
the evenings when the youngest daugh-
ter has nearly died of chagrin to hear
her mothers voice call from above:
Florence, it's ten o'clock. You must
be excused now" To make matters
worse, Florence is morally certain that
her sisters derive great deal of merri'
ment from her trying experiences. So
she recently planned and carried out a
dire revenge.
The mother usually retires soon after
her daughters callers arrive. AS soon
as she goes upstairs decided change in
the plan of entertainment takes place
in the parlors below. Instead of three
couples chatting together in the front
room, as mother has seen them, there is
one couple in the parlor, one in the
library and one in the dining-room
This was exactly the state of affairs {
few evenings ago, when, just the clocl
struck ten, the customary voice floated
down from above, and Florence wended
her way upstairs. She had barely
reached the landing when she heard un
mistakable sounds of merriment com
| ing from the parlor and library. She
undressed slowly and waited until II
o'clock. just as the big library clocl
was striking, the interested couples be
low were startled to hear a voice, seem
ingly maternal, from above, which said
''Girls, do you hear the clock? I'm
ashamed of you. Come right upstair,
this minute!"
There were hurried leavetakings, /.
hasty Strengthening Of chairs and put
ting out of lights, and two pairs of fee
quickly tip-toed upstairs. A few sec
onds later, when her second sister crep
into the room, Florence was lying will
a peaceful expression on her sleepin,
face, to the great relief of the furrie,
on-looker.
I The mother wondered why her olde
girls acted so peculiarly at breakfas
the next morning, and why they left TO
the university without kissing her good
by. And she wondered still more, late
in the day, when she found her littl
girl rolling on the bed with pillo,
stuffed in her mouth and shricking witt
laughter. The older sisters do no
know to this day the trick played Of
them. Chicago Inter Ocean. 9
