believe you possess even the rudiments of
a heart. You shall be my best man. To-
morrow or the next day I shall indite a
hyperbolic epistle to Miss Mary, asking
whether she cares enough for a fellow to
wait for him until he gets his captaincy.
1T may be for years. as the song says;
but l fiatter myself I an well worth wait
ing for. and I don't propose to tax the
risk of any other fellow-a cold blooded
chap like you, for misunderstanding into
the lists during my absence"
Metferd was speeches. with contempt.
Tha Winston should have proved himself
such an unmitigated cad!
The funny part of it was that Miss Weth-
cred. who was taking a brief rest at the
seaside, received two letters by the NOR
rows mail. one from the 'unmitigated
cad" thanking her lever so much for all
her kindnesses to him during his protract-
ed illness; the other from the "beastly old
cynic," the reply to which-it seems al
most like sacrilege to print twas as fol-
loweth:
Dear Mr.. Metford-I am SO glad! How
glad l cannot tell you! l nave loved you
ever since the day that 1 first met you, but
never dared to hope that I should be hon.
ored with your owe.
Very sincerely yours,
MARY WETHERED."
And thia is the letter that sister Jess
wrote a day or two thereafter to her
graceless brother:
MY Darling Boy-You did it beautifully.
If I were queen, you should be decorated
with a cross for most conspicuous gal
lantry. l know how fond of the girl you
had become, and what it must have cost
you to act as you did. 1t was very hard
work, wasn't 1t, poor boy? Mary is over
joyed. Some day, when she has been mar
ried a year or so, | may let her into part
of the secret of our conspiracy. But
NUNS the word for the present.
