The PnIite Lie In Embryo.

A CURIOUS COURTSH|P.
HOW A GIRL DROVE AWAY A..
WORTHY LOVER AND
WAS SORRY.

"If go, Rosalie," Harry Reynolds
said, remember that | shall not re-
turn" He made a step toward her
and continued, 'Have you not word
for me, Rosalie?"
81 do not think of anything further
coldly.
Harry gazed at her a moment and
then rushed from the room.
'Cold hearted, selfish girlr he ex-
claimed.
For few seconds after his departure
Rosalie retained her Indifferent posi-
ton, but all her senses were alive to
catch his lightest movement. Of course
he would return, and when he behaved
properly and asked her pardon and
submissively he should have it, but to
be lectured and scolded in that man
ner was more than she would bear.
In vain did she listen. An hour, then
two, then three hours passed by, and
sick at heart Rosalie went up to her
room and cried herself to sleep.
Rosalie was warm hearted and quick
tempered, but was easily appeased.
She was also passionately fond of adj
miration and quite as much bent on
having her own way as was good for
her. These faults, however. did not
prevent the village beaus from being
at her disposal, and Hitherto she had
been nearly impartial in her treatment
of them, having no mind to give up
the general homage by fixing upon
one.
But lately there had been differ
ence in her feelings. She had ac-
knowledged there was a charm in Har-
ry Reynolds, attentions such as she
had never found in any other. A thrill
new and delicious went through her
when their eyes met and she read
the admiration which he vainly tried
to repress. Harry had high ideal
Of womanly excellence which Rosalie
by no means came up to, but in spite
of her frivolities and his own misgiv-
ings they were frequently together and

I troduced an element OF dlscord into
their happiness.
Mr.. Clarence Dalton came up from
the city on a visit to his uncle, He
was handsome, agreeable, wealthy and
noted for the careful elegance of his
attire. The girls were enchanted with
him, and Rosalie alone regarded him
with seeming Indifference. She said
to herself with virtuous resolution, she
must be careful now. Harry might be
wounded if she received attentions
from such lion.
Happy for her had this prudent dis
position lasted But the old spirit
came up after awhile. She was entire
ly accustomed to queening it in her
little world, and her vanity was piqued
that Mr.. Dalton did not at all seem
struck by her charms. 1t was quite a
Christian duty to give Mr.. Dalton a
lesson in good taste. So by few little
feminine lures, such as a pretty girl
well knows how to practice, he was
attracted to her side. and once there
he seemed exceedingly well pleased to
stay.
Harry could endure it no longer and
in the interview whose close we have
portrayed determined to put his for
tune to the touch to win or lose it all. J"
Conscious of her power, indignant,
with some justice that he should as
sumo to dictate her conduct when he
had never openly declared his love, Ro-
sale had responded by series of flip
pant exasperating little speeches
which drove Harry almost to despair.
She intended to relent in time. but
pride, vanity and a certain triumph in
knowing that his whole manly. heart
was hers to play with at will wrought
sad mischief
Rosalie had no doubt that Harry
would come the next evening as usual
and all could easily be made right
again. But the evening came and went
and no Harry. What could it mean?
Surely he loved her, and if so he could
not stay away. She would wait pa
tiently since it was all that she could
do.
The next evening Mr. Dalton called
but Rosalie sent down word that she
was i'll and asked to be excused. Yet
as night after night went by and Har-
ry did not return her submissive mood
changed She would show Mr.. Harry
Reynolds that she was not suffering
from the withdrawal Of his presence,
There were other people quite delight
ed to be in her company.
The next time Mr.. Dalton came she
did not decline to see him. but came
down and was as friendly and pleasant
as could be desired The young man
noticed a more womanly thoughtful
ness in her manner than he had NTH
erto observed and wondered what
might be the cause.
Poor Harry's state meanwhile was
far from enviable. For the first "a
hours he maintained fierce resent
ment But as the days came and went
he softened little by little until every
harsh sentiment had vanished and
ton seized him to seek Ro-
sale and try to efface the memory Of
his previous sternness.
Toward evening he wendell his way
to her home with the sweetest apticipa
tons of reconciliation and affection.
With every step she seemed to grow

as he neared the gate a sight met his
eyes which speedily cooled down the
fervid tones of his fancy painting. It
| was Mr.. Dalton assisting Resale to
| disnlount from her horse. The exercise
had brought bright flush to her cheek,
and she was fairly dazzling. She per-
ceiyed Harry in time to bestow on him
very distant bow and then turned,
with added empressment, to her com
panion. Harry changed his intentions
at once, walked by the house in the
most leisurely and Indifferent manner
and proceeded to call upon that obnox-
ious Nellie Kellis, whom Rosalie re-
garded so superciliously.
Mr.. Dalton meanwhile found his af-
fairs in a somewhat perplexing state.
Filtration had been since his eleventh
year the element in which he delight
ed to exist. Matrimony with it's cares
and responsibilities was to him the
most distant of prospects and must Of
fer extra inducements to make him for
sake his freedom. Now, however, he
began to feel himself very seriously in
terested in a person who had not one
claim to fashion. family or fortune-a
little village girl who wore dresses of
her own fitting and made all the pies
and cakes that appeared on her table.
Whether she really cared for him or re
garded him as a friend or simply as
an admirer was impossible to say.
Other people were not slow in draw;
ing their conclusions, and before three
weeks were over the village authori-
ties in such cases declared it would be
q match.
Harry could not in his heart deny
the reasonableness of their predictions.
He had the grief of believing that his
wishes, hopes and affections were moth
ing to Rosalie. Yet had he anything
but his own harshness to blame for
the change? He was miserable, but his
own act had caused the misery.
Mr.. Dalton had mother living, a
stately lady of some forty odd years,
well preserved and a leader of society.
Clarence was her only boy and the
object of a great many ambitious
dreams. The marriage which looked
to her so misty and far away was to
her very near reality. She had Sc
lected a girl of his rank for a wife.
when, 10, there came a rumor that
struck her to the heart. Could it be
that Clarence was about to make a
fool Of himself? She wrote letter
to her son in which she expressed per-
feet confidence in his discretion and
her. assurance that he would do moth
ing foolish or imprudent
Mr.. Clarence's brow as he read the
maternal effusion was clouded with
thought. Where, in the name of com.

in a marriage with such charming
girl as RosaIie Ames? AS for the dan.
ger of her heart, he wished he were
little surer of it. He felt at that
moment that his own was in much
more perilous position than hers.
AS Harry walked that afternoon
along the broad road leading from his
house he was attracted by almost in,
articulate grDans.s and looking a few
yards into the distance he saw a sense,
less form living in his path. while
