Written for The Spy

| the pocket where rested the diamond
in its pretty case. He could not wait
She would sigh pitifully over him. He
would be her hero, her lover and she
would bind up his wounds and kiss
the bleeding lips. Wrapped up in this
warm mantle of love, Dick hobbled
painfully along.
Meanwhile the other fellow had ar
rived at Maud's home. But he still
had string on the ring. In other
words he had not thought it the pro-
per moment to produce the tempting
bait Maud leaned lazily on one arm,
the loose flowing sleeve showing her
white dimpled elbow, all done for eff
feet of course. How lovely she look
ed. Jack hardly dared to approach her,
although she had yielded so coyly to
him in the dark She was thinking
how slow he was about bringing out
the ring, when with the light of love
shining like a locomotive lamp in his
eyes he pumped himself down on the
couch beside her and she naturally let
her dear perfumed hair tickle his face.
1t was a rapturOus moment for him,
and she did not seem to mind the ten
der glances or arm about her waist
but there was one who did mind it.
Poor bedraggled Dick had come soft
ly in, the servant maliciously telling
him Miss Maud was in the parlor-
Maud had slapped her face that morn
tng-and Dick brushed aside the cur
tains and looked in. The man who had
made the purchase in the jewelry
store when he did was kissing Maud,
and she with closed eyes was submit
ting with a httenish satisfaction
Was there a struggle, muffied ours
es, blows, the usual sequel? Oh no.
Dick said calmly: Isn't there room for
another. I have ring too" The girl
tainted, and leaving her to the serv-
Ing maid, the two men went to the
nearest hotel and over some excellent
sherry talked matters over.
When Dick had come in as he did
Jack had rapidly got next" and it
only required a short explanation to
make him understand.
Maud came to with the impression
she was drowning. The gentle Irish
maid had emptied the pitcher of ice
water over her and it made her kali
somined face a sight. Where am I.
she began TO say but remembered that
that inquiry is out Of date. Where
are the two young men who were here
Just now?' Sure, they how gone off
tergether. as sWate as two paas in a
pod. Wish you merry Christmas"
said a girlish voice as her bosom
friend Alice danced into the room.
Maud hurled the sofa cushions in the

where her friend sought her and ask
ed her all about it.
That comes of not making dates.
Maud" she said wisely. Il have two
or three fellows; every girl has to have
more than one. But 1 make them tell
me when they are TO see me? 1 don't
stand for any surprise parties" And
Maud says she will do better next
year, if Providence sends her some
more nice young men. The rings, a
few weeks later, were worn by the
tactful Alice and she and Maud don't
speak as they pass by.
