fered by big publication and had buried himself in Ashton because it was the first place he happened to think of. Ashton was mildly gay in July. In January it was not much livelier than its own quiet cemetery on the West hill. Naturally Broad bridge did not mind the dullness. The mornings he devoted to writing, the afternoons to long tramps down the main street and out into the country. It was during these tramps that he planned his story. His evenings were a trifle slow-at first. It was at the end of his first week ia Ashton that he met "the ugly girl" on one of his walks. She wore a sensible short skirt. sensible stout boots, a short, mannish coat and a scarlet tam O shanter. He noted these details with disapproval. He was accustomed to elegant women of the hot house va riety. Most of all, he objected to the ugly girls lack of beauty. Small eyes of nondescript color, though one might stretch point and call them blue, tip-tilted nose and wide mouth; these things he observed with unkind criticism on that first meet ing. That lips and cheeks matched the tam O shanter in color might have compensated somewhat for the irregular features, but, alas! nose and chin were only shade paler. Then, too, the ugly girls manner dis pleased him. She had looked him over with a provokingly superior lit- tie air. as if he were the green grocer's clerk or one of the other young men of the village, and Broad bridge had always prided himself on his air of distinction. He was angry that evening to find that he could not forget the episode of the meeting. A crimson tam fitted between his eyes and the pages of the book he was trying to read. The next morn- ing but one he walked down to the village post office and met her on the way. Three dogs were jumping about her, two great Danes and a terrier. He went home and wrote steadily the rest of the morning. Before lunch con he read what he had written and tore it up.
 "She's the daughter of the Episco- pal minister" said his hostess that evening, in answering blunt inquiry. "She keeps house for her father. They live in that pretty little white cottage next the church which you think is so picturesque"
 He found the rector to be a gentle man and a scholar whose broken health welcomed the quiet of Ashton. Hungering for the flesh pots of mod ern Egypt, Dr. Peters welcomed Broadbridge cordially. The two took a tramp together, and upon their re- turn Broadbridge was invited to have tea at the rectory. He found that the ugly girl had much self-posses- sion for country lass and the fanci- full name of Carr. She chatted cheer fully about many things with him and her father, but Broadbridge felt

 q hardly expected, Miss Peters," he observed, while sipping his coffee in the cosy library one night after dinner-the rector had been called out by a member of his parish-"to find anything quite so new as your self in sleepy Ashton" One of Broad bridges many gifts was an expressive voice. That adjective "new" implied many things, not all of them fatter- ing.
 And you don't like new women," said Miss Peters. frankly. "Well, we are quits. have no great sdmira- tion for the modern man. Please smoke, if you care to. Father always smokes here."
 And what is your definition of the modern man" qusried Broadbridge, with interest.
 "All opinions and no convictions" retorted Miss Peters, succinctly. Are you fond of Chopin?"
 The abrupt change of subject an- noyed Broadbridge. The ugly girl lacked tact, he thought.
 That night wild Polish melodies, a tip-tilted nose, a mocking mouth and a fat cheek were curiously mixed up in Broadbridge's dreams. The next morning he began a new story.
 After his acquaintance with the Peters he altered his plans somewhat. He still wrote in the mornings, he still tramped about the country in the afternoons, but now a red tam O shanter generally bobbed near his shoulder. In the evenings he visited Dr. Peters at the rectory. Miss Pet CTS was interested in the story.
 "It will be detestably cynical" she said, with her usual frankness. "Al these mooern stories are. I stopped reading them long ago."
 "You are lacking in charity, Miss Peters," observed Broadbridge, grave ly. "You should have considered the modern writers"
 Miss Peters airily disregarded the sarcasm.
 We have smart writers, nowadays. We haven't any great writer's"
 For new woman you are the most old-fashioned I ever met" he said, gazing half quizzically at the mannish little figure. Miss Peters had grace, if she hadn't beauty.
 "I suspect only my clothes are new," she answered, with a laugh. "Tell me about your heroine. Is she," hesitatingly, 'very beautiful?"
 'ro me she is very beautiful" said Broadbridge, though, of course, beauty is matter of taste. Still I may safely say"-Miss Peters thought he said it with unnecessary, almost brutal, emphasis-"that the good reading public would also call my heroine beautiful"
 T suppose they are more interest ing when they are beautiful" ad- mitted Miss Peters, "but I wish"- wistfully-"some one would write a story about an ugly girl"
 Ut would be rather catchy title," observed Broadbridge, carelessly. He wondered if the ugly girl was not a trifie lacking in penetration.
 Broadbridge was young enough to Aatter himself that he understood women very well. Such presumption generally carries with it its own pun ishment. When Miss Peters, after that conversation about his heroine, began to avoid him, he made up his mind that she had read in his eyes his growing interest, and did not care to encourage it. Broadbridge began to feel blue and his story be- came of secondary importance. The rector possessed valuable reference library. which he placed at Broad bridges disposal.
 When Miss Peters began to desert him l., L;r

bridge. "It's too early for lights and too dusky to read"
 "We've nothing more to talk about" said Miss Peters, gazing into the fire. "I know what you would say on ev- cry subject"
 "Well, life, for instance" suggested Broadbridge, nettled.
 "An i'll endured because man is vain and objects to becoming nothing"
 And death?"

 "And-love?"
 "Flirtation carried to it's logical conclusion n-disillusionment."
 As she mockingly repeated some of his own pet cynicisms Miss Peters looked provokingly impertinent in the freight, but, of course, she couldn't realize her own irresistible charm, and when Broadbridge sud- denly kissed her there seemed no ex- cuse for him. He had no opportunity for the explanation that was meant to follow the kissing, for Miss Peters, after one indignant, scornful glance, fled from the room. That night he almost finished the story. The next morning, in passing through the hall, he heard Miss Peters voice talking to his hostess.
 "It's been an engagement of long standing" she was saying. Although I don't believe I've ever mentioned the name to you before"
 Its perfectly lovely, and I com gratulate you"
 Broadbridge. dazed. seized his hat and rushed out of the house. He walked all morning. In the after noon he tried to finish his story, but found he couldn't write an intelli- gent line. Finally, with sudden re- solve, he bundled up and sent it un- finished to the editor. The next day he went down to bid the rector good by. He inquired for Miss Peters.
 "Ah," said the rector, kindly, "she was so sorry to leave without seeing you. She left last night for Boston to attend the wedding of college friend. It's an engagement of long standing, I believe The girls prom ised at college that whoever was married first should invite the othor to be maid of honor"
 Two weeks after he left Ashton Broadbridge received letter from the editor, together with the manu- script. "Your story is the most available of any sent in," said the let ter, "but it's not finished. Doubtless you overlooked sending us the last sheet. If it ends happily, send it back to us with the missing sheet, and we'll consider it."
 Two days later Miss Peters in Bos- ton received manuscript entitled "An Ugly Girl" together with the note Broadbridge had received from the editor. There was also a note from Broadbridge himself.
 "I'm in a dilemma" said this lat ter note. q should like to have the story accepted, for its acceptance would help make possible an ideal honeymoon with Easter, perhaps, in Rome. But the story is true to life. l can't mar it by making up an end ing. Please read it yourself and tell me whether it is to end happily"
 "I, too, should like to have the story accepted" wrote back Miss Peters, flor I feel as if had a pro- prietary interest in it. End it happily, by all means"
 Of course there was a postscript.
 "Your title is a misnomer," it said. "You call your heroine ugly, but you make her out angelic"
 That night Broadbridge took the
