eye But in a few moments the correction mill would begin to grind again:
 Throw your head back a little. Dorothy not so much-there-there.'
 "Ethel, stop swinging that arm!'
 And so, first on one side, then on the other, this vigilant mother kept her daughters under discipline, and the girls grew up with perfect pose and bearing, so proud and graceful that they were al- most awesome in their stately sweetness. Their minds and characters were discip- lined as well as their persons
 Of course, girls like Ethel and Dorothy were to marry dukes and princes mill lionaires. Every man of other estate was ruled out by a kind of invisible bar which surrounded the stately beauties as surely as the moated castle held the enchanted maiden of the olden time.
 Ethel married lord, meeting her des- tiny with the same grace and perfection with which she had met everything in life. What might not be expected from Dorothy, who was, if possible, more beautiful, more winsome and graceful than Ethel and as perfect in department as it was possible for a girl to be. Such sweetness dwelt in the corners of her fine cut lips, such words of repose were in her soft eyes and such sea-shell color in her checks. She should be a duchess at least.
 But one day there flashed a look from Dorothys face which was not put down in any manual of department. Mrs. Mac Arthur's training, after all, was only skin deep. It seems never to have occurred to her that all the training in the world never trained down a girls heart, and that sometimes a sudden tumult of joy or an- guish would seize the soul of a girl-even the best regulated one-and send the rosy color flashing from her cheeks and look of tremulous tenderness from her eyes.
 Mrs. Macarthur knew that this had hap pened to other girls, but she felt perfectly safe safe about Dorothy; so the fond and faithful mother drew on her gloves with confident smiles and bows of adieu and went off for drive on the very afternoon that Marshall Won Argus called to say goodbye and found Dorothy alone.
 He looked handsomer than usual that day, straight and 1.-the and tall. Dorothy had led many german with him. He was
The age-herald., 1900-07-08

in no dancing mood then; he looked reso- lute, as if he had made up his mind to something serious: his face was a little pale-the lines of it had struck in, as 1t were; his eyes were darker than ever and seemed deeper fin their sockets, and his mouth looked as if he had forsworn smili- ing. He had his hat in his hand as a knight might hold his shield for brief skrmish out of which he hoped to come unwounded. He had meant to make short call of 1t, to say goodbye in friendly way and then flee from this beau tiful girl who had wound his heart up in such a coil of hard knots that he could not think his way out of them He had not the least idea of proposing to this ex- quisite Dorothy. He knew there was no use, in it, and he did not want to make a fool of himself. He only meant to say that he was going away for an indefinite time at his Uncle MacKenzie's ranch at Texas. He knew that Mrs. Macarthur would welcome that news, for General Mackenzie was an old Mexican soldier with fabulous possessions in mines and ranchesl at the west. If the discreet mother had been at home the call would have been most formal and agreeable and correct. But Dorothy was different-a tete- a-tete with Dorothy was unexpected that it made him lose his presence of mind.
 "I just ran in to say goodbye" he be- gan, as if the steam was up and the train waiting at the curbstone before the door.
 "Goodbye?" said Dorothy, opening her eyes a trife wider than the manual of department demanded, with a look of sur prise and regret in which she had never been trained.
 "Yes; it is sudden, but I have made up my mind to throw up civilization, and so- ciety and-all this sort of thing he said, glancing around the beautiful drawing room where they were sitting. 'I am going to Texas ranch"
 What for?" asked Dorothy, her troubled eyes looking full into his It was a look to make a man tell the truth, and Von Argus said with almost savage fierce ness:
 q am going because I mean to be man, and get far away from you as possi- bic. You are always in the way of my

doing anything here There is always vis- ion of you coming in between me and everything else. I can't go at anything in earnest because I am given up to the re- captions and balls and dinners, where shall be sure of meeting you, and so I am nothing but hangeron of society. I am as poor as a church mousse I couldn't marry you, and I daren't ask you, and I am going to put an end to it all. And if it takes me a lifetime, I will die fighting love nat Is hopeless"-
 He paused in his impetuous words.
 How do you know that it is hopeless?" said Dorothy.
 Yon would not marry me-" said Von Argus
 You have not asked me"
 By love! Will you marry me- Dorothy?"

Discipline Is what you both need-you and my darling Dorothy"
 She said this because she did not want Dorothy to spoil her eyes with weeping and make her complexion blotchy With tears, but in her heart she said that they should never see each other again. T will put half a world between them,' she vowed, "and I wish it were bigger world so that I could get them farther apart"
 So Von Argus went to Texas to try ranch life with his choleric and gouty great uncle, and Dorothy sped east to Eng land to grace the christening fete of Lady Ethel's first child and 10 be the chief beauty at more than one famous country seat, If she wept sighed for the man she loved, no one knew it. Mrs Mac Arthur kept a close watch of all corres- pondence, so that letters from Texas never got further than her grate fire. She could find nothing to complain of in Dorothy. Ii she had been faultless before she was now exquisitely faultless. When a charm ing woman has heart at leisure from itself she becomes more attractive than ever. She even wins homage by a kind of sweet and queenly indifference to it. Thus it was with Dorothy, who became more and more center of attraction. But this brilliant social life, this succession of successes, palled upon the girl. What were they but the weary steps of a treadmill which led nowhere, but which had ever to
 
 Argus for year. Why must she ever be remembering man who had forgotten her? Must this go drearily on forever? What was to break the monotony of a life so brilliant and yet so cloying?
 Let us go home to America" said Dor othy.
 "One country is the same as another" said Mrs. Macarthur. You treat the men everywhere as if they were shadows"
 They like my way of treating them," said Dorothy.
 This was quite true Did not Sir Til- ford Blake come to America the next steamer after theirs expressly because he liked Dorothy's treatment of him and wished to secure terms for a lifelong con- tnuance of it? Did not Mrs Macarthur welcome him with the true feeling of a would-be mother-in-law? Was not MT Macarthur loosening the latchstring of his money bags? For Sir Tilford Blake was a young gentleman of fortune and heir to an earldom But Sir Tilford was not the only man who had come to woo There were two riders coming from the east and from the west to pay their court to fair Dorothy While Sir Tilford Blake was steamng across the Atlantic ocean, Mar shall Von Argus steaming across the American continent Sir Tilford came with all the eclat of his rank, but Von Argus came as a lieutenant of the Rough Riders and when Dorothy saw him subrowned and swarthy and grand and military, all her heart and all of her department flew into cinders. Parental ambition had to go up in smoke; every thing gave away. and the engagement was announced Von Argus won his spurs in the Spanish war and fell heir to his uncles mines and ranches, and when he led his bride to the altar, Mrs. Macarthur had the proud satisfaction of knowing that it was the most brilliant wedding of the season.
The age-herald., 1900-07-08

"Oh, Marshall!' and just here the look came over Dorothy's face-the pink raint flush, the look of tremulous tenderness from lips and eyes. After this Argus did not hold his hat in his hand, nor keep one eye on the door, nor talk as if the train were waiting at the curbstone He held a dear girls hand which nestled like bird in his; and his eyes drank deep from hers as he told his love with vehe. ment words or passionate slenceS. He made love to Dorothy as if it were the one chance of his life, the last drop he should drink before he lay down to die And Do- rothy? We'll Dorothy was but a woman, and this was the man she loved.
 Mrs. Macarthur returned from her two hours drive to find that she had a live love affair upon her hands. She thought she knew what to do with it. She was smooth as silk and she purred like a pussy sat over the lovers as if she had always been persuaded that there was nothing worth living for but true love.
 She made Won Argus go through the form of asking Dorothy's father for per- mission to marry his daughter. This was a cruelty in itself. MT. MacArthur was a bloated bond-holder of a man, sitting in a big chair in grand office. Won Argus made a pitiful showing, because nothing counted, neither youth, nor strength, nor good looks, nor chivalry, nor good manners and generosity and loye-nothing but mon ey bags-and Won Argus went out of that room feeling that he would like to creep out at the key hole.
 Such an engagement could not be thought of for an instant," said the great man..
 Not at present, Marshall" temporized Mrs Macarthur. Wait year or two," she purred on in her most sympathetic manner "The love that cannot wait and be patient is not the love for lifetime.

BY FRANK Su M MFRS.

Mrs Macarthur early made up her mind that her two daughters should have such maternal training as would place them in advance of other girls in their city, and be the source of the highest social success. In this resolve she never Jagged. As the years went on, through infancy, childhood and youth, day and night she corrected every fault of pose and action. When walking out with them she would drop behind and take note of their carriage.
 ''Ethel, raise your left shoulder half an inch"
 Dorothy, your elbows are not right-one is out, the other in. There; that is better"
 After this there would be a short inter- val of satisfaction, the mother walking abreast of her girls and noting the side view of them out of the corner of her
