still warm on her lips the question re-
turned to her mind:

me and wants me to be his wife, claim
me for his own? Perhaps he is grow

atone by giving him added love and
affection"
Carl's mother had often sent her kind
messages, and had also sent by Carl
some very beautiful table linen for
Mildred to embroider for use after her
marriage She knew that Mrs. Lang
lois was her friend, although they had
never met, and determined to go to see
her and discover whether Carl had con-
fded in her any change in his desire
to marry Mildred. She shrank from
the trial, yet felt it must be made for
cordingly few days after Carl's visit
she took a trip to his home, arriving
there, as she had planned, when Carl
was absent at his business. When she
introduced herself to Mrs. Langlois she
was warmly greeted, but when she told
the object OF her visit her host was
visibly surprised and disconnected.
my dear child" she exclaimed
there must be mistake somewhere
Carl assured me only yesterday that
you kept putting him off whenever he
mentioned your marriage. cannot

engagement which is no longer pleas

my dear, dear Mildred" begged his
mother, "do not speak so bitterly. |
am sure there Is some misunderstand-
ing"
Mildred had turned very pale, and an
overwhelming conviction that Carl was
false to her came upon her with crush
ing force, but she summoned up cour-
age to face the truth.
I'VE must find out she said. very
gently. for the mothers distress was
also very great, whether he is atten-
tive to some one else. Have you ever
noticed his taking pleasure in the So
ciety of any girl here?'
"Oh. no." Mrs. Langlois replied. has

A DANGEROUS GAME.

Carl. ! don't believe you truly leve
me-"
Mildred Reynolds looked at her low
er half archly, as II she defied him to
say he did not love her, half-pleading-
ly. as II she longed for him to contra
dict him warmly.
Carl Langlois Redeemed under her
gaze. What nonsense, Mildred; of
course love you. Why else would |
come a hundred miles TO spend an
evening with you?" he replied, a trifle
impatiently.
Then why" Mildred began bravely,
but she in turn colored and looked en-
barrassed. Surely Carl knew that she
ionged to ask him why he had twice
postponed their marriage, and on this
visit, when she had expected him TO
ask her to set the day for the cere-
mony, he had not done so. True. he
had brought her a beautiful bracelet
and had seemed affectionate and low
ing; yet somehow Mildred felt that
there was something lacking in his ca
resses, and that the fact that he did
not breach the SUI ject which she had
hoped he would settle on this visit
vaguely alarmed her. For she loved
Carl deeply and was unhappy in the
home of a relative upon she was part
~ dependent and longed 10 have a
home of her own.
Carl had said, the last time he had
visited her, that they would arrange
their plans for the future when he
next came, but when Mildred had
made the remark that she did not be-
lieve he really loved her he was on the
verge of departure, and still had not
asked her TO name the day which
would make them husband and wife.
He must have known what the ques-
ton was she wished to ask. yet he did
not help her out and so the question
died unasked upon her lips. Instead
he turned suddenly TO the clock. "I'll
have just time TO make my train" he
said, hurriedly, so goodby, my sweet
heart. Give me kiss, and take good
care of yourself, for my sake" so ten
derby that for time all doubts as to
his fidelity were dismissed from Mil
dred's heart. Only for a time, how
ever. for while his farewell kiss was

INC latest rnmor of am outbreak in

The latest rumor of an outbreak in
Manila among the natives, which was
in circulation recently, was seriously
discussed by some of the local papers
and attracted more general attention
than has usually been the case with
this sort of thing. AS a matter of fact,
can employers with the apparent in
tention of joining some such movement.
Their action, taken in connection with
the arrest of several natives for carry
ing concealed weapons and the disper-
sion of several suspicious gatherings,
gave color to the reports

All" Mildred said quickly. that is
not enough to keep some girls from
trying to win away a mans love. II
may be that she has drawn him away
from me. But we must make sure, my
dear friend-for / feel that you are my
friend-and IL it is true | will willing
ly give him up to her IL II Is for his
happiness"
They arranged IL that Mildred's pres
ence in the house should be kept Sc
cret from Carl and that his mother at
mealtime should question him in way
not to arouse his suspicious; so. as the
two sat alone at dinner, Mrs. Langlois
carelessly said:
What charming girl Marion Reed
is. CARL"
Isn't she, mother" he cried enthu-
siastically. do you know she quite
fascinates me?"
Carl" his mother said graveiy,
that is not the way for a man soon
to be married to another woman"
'Pshaw, mother" Carl exclaimed
impatiently, you know told you Mil.
dred would never set the day. and we
may never be married at ALL"
You are right, Mr.. Langlois," said
Mildred, who had been unable to re-
sist the temptation Of listening I'M
seen; you are right. We never will
m fn
ask the fascinating Miss Reed to be
your wife. for am henceforth a stran-
ger to you
Before Carl could recover from his
astonishment she was gone, and as her
train was just ready to depart she was
out of his reach, and the passionate
protests of affection which he was pre-
pared to make, the promises of future
fidelity, were never uttered.
Now that he had lost her. Mildred
appeared to Carl as a precious treasure
which he would give anything to pos
sess. The attractions of Marion Reed
paled into insignificance and he took
the next train in pursuit of Mildred,
hoping that he could win her back.
But once assured OF the flaws of her
idol Mildred had cast him out of her
heart, and though it was sore 1t was
not broken, because she realized his
unworthiness. She refused to see Carl
and returned his letters unread. With

he had offered himself TO Marion Reed.
Why. you're going 10 marry some
girl in Lawrence, she replied opening
her blue eyes wide

have me-"
We'll, | won't replied the pretty
flirt, decidedly. II was only amusing
myself with you, my dear boy. ! hope
your heart is not broken" she added,
mockingly, for rumors of the true state
of affairs had reached her ears
Flirting is sometimes a dangerous
game, my friend, especially if there is
a jealous sweetheart at the other end
Of the line" she announced laughing
ly. And with her mocking laughter
ringing in his ears Carl Langlois walk
ed away to repent of his folly. by which
he had lost that greatest OF glfts-a
woman's love.-The Columbian.
