crowd that stirred her pulses to q
swifter beat. Her eyes lost the list
less look that had been in them while
she watched with woman's mere
idle curiosity the tide of humanity
surging past. Here was some one
for her interest to center itself
about. With this person upon whom
to fasten her thoughts, she forgot
the throng of which he was part.
II wonder if there is any truth in
the theory of soul telegraphy?" she
thought, with a bright, soft light
gathering in her eyes, as she watched
the man about whom her thoughts
had centered themselves. HE said
he half believed it. l will put it to
the test"
She looked intently at the man who
had driven her idle mood away, and
Mower County transcript., 1902-12-10

she she did not SO very long ago, sure
u she would have some sympat thetic
word for him now.
Presently Aunt Diana came back,
and and soon he went away with q grave
lace, and disappointed look in his
eyes. y
Margaret saw the look and under
stood what it meant.
He is blind, willfully blind" she
said to herself, as he went down the
street. She could hardly keep back
t-er tears. Surely he might see the
truth if he would.
Yes, he is blind,' she repeated,
this time aloud-she had forgotten
that Aunt Diana was in the room.
Ibid you speak to me?" asked her
aunt.
mo, I was talking to myself" an
swered Margaret, feeling so miser-
able that she cared very little if Aunt
Diana knew what her thoughts were.
She got up and went out of the room,
with such a sorrowful look in her
face that the woman who was watch
ing her keenly knew the visit of
John Fosdyke had given her no pleas
i, ure. The willy matchmaker congratu-
lated herself accordingly. She felt
sure that the paths of these two
persons had diverged so widely that
they would never run together again.
BY and by Vaughan Herrick came
in. But Margaret had gone out.
II shall never win her." he said to
Aunt Diana, after he had asked for
her niece II seem to know her less
and less each time I meet her"
"Have PATIENCE" counseled Aunt
DIANA ''The world was not made in
day, and such women as Margaret
are not to be won all at once"
"Or never" said Herrick, discour-
agedly.
Aunt Diana had never been more
thoroughly disgusted and out of pa
tience with her niece than she was
when she found that she had taken
to visiting the poor.
She argued with her about the
foolishness of the "whim,'' as she
called it. What good would come of
it? What would "our set" say when
this latest proof of Margaret's eccen-
tricity was brought to it's notice?
"As to that, I care very little, or
: not at ALL" answered Margaret. 1T
may do but little good, but it will
certainly do no harm, and to do a
little good is much better than to
do none at ALL"
So she kept on with the work she
had undertaken. At first it was hard,
and almost repulsive, in many of its
features. But by and by she found
that there was real pleasure in try
ing to help others. And it was not
long until she began to get more
pleasure out of her life, because of
what she was doing, than she had ever
found in the idle round of fashion
able existence. John Fosdyke's en-

complishment of her plans. One day
she met John Fosdyke at a friends.
II have not seen much of Miss
Leith, of late," he said. "She is well,
I hope?"
"Oh, yes, quite WE'LL" answered
Aunt Diana. "She is $3.50 queer,
you know''-this quite confidential
ly. "She has seemed to lose all rel
ish for society, in the ordinary mean
ing of the word, since Mr.. Herrick
has taken to calling SO regularly.
Sometimes girl finds the society of
one person pleasanter than that of
many, you know" and here she
smiled meaningly. ''Of course, you
have heard of what rumor has been
saying about Mr.. Herrick and my
niece?"
II have heard that Mr.. Herrick ad-
mired her, if that is what you mean,' -
Fosdyke answered, in a somewhat
constrained tone. To talk about the
woman he loved in this manner was
painful to him in the extreme. But
he wanted to know the truth, so he
added:
IF congratulations are in order,
please tender mine to Miss Leith.
Am premature in offering them?''
II must, not reveal state secrets, =
answered Aunt Diana, looking very
wise. However, will tell her what
you have said, and let me thank you,
for her, for your kind wishes. You

gossiped about as engaged lovers,

II shall say nothing answered
John Fosdyke. T : ~
Aunt Diana congratulated herself
on the success of her diplomacy. She
saw that he believed that Margaret
and Mr.. Herrick were engaged, and,
relieving that, he would not be like
ly to say or do anything that would
interfere with the accomplishment
of her plans.
"Why doesn't your hero, Fosdyke.

asked Aunt Diana, one day. HE

being q fool because Of his devotion
to principle rather than policy, i
have to admit that he seems to me
something of hero. Quite as much
hero, in fact, as the man who as
serts his bravery on the field of bat
tie. Don't you suppose that John
Fosdyke had hard battle to fight,
in giving up what he has for the
sake of doing what he believes to be
his duty?" ,...
Margaret spoke impetuously. and
her tone told how deeply she felt
what she said.
Aunt Diana's lip curled.
Margaret" she said, facing her
niece Indignantly and accusingly, Il
dc believe you are more than hall
, in love with this man! The idea of
| your persisting in your attempt to
make a hero of him! It's absurd, to
say the least!"
1T may seem so to you, but it does
not to me-" was the girls quiet re-
; sponse. And not another word could
her aunt get from her about this
man whom the worldly-wise old lady
looked upon as fool or fanatic.
Presently Vaughan Herrick came in.
Aunt Diana welcomed him effusive-
ly. Margaret was quietly polite in
her greeting, and her reserved man
ner had the effect of keeping him at
distance socially. She did not like
Mr.. Herrick very well. She had never
| done so, and after her aunt began
! to try her hand at matchmaking be-
tween them, she liked him less than
ever, because it was quite evident
that he was perfectly willing to take
advantage of any victory that Aunt
Diana might happen to win by force
! of diplomacy or influence.
I'm love, and in war, man should
control the campaign" Margaret told
herself. He isn't much of a man
who is willing to let woman plan
and carry it on for him.
Miss Leith does not seem very
socially inclined this morning." he
said to Aunt Diana, when Margaret
was out of the room for moment.
II hope have not offended her"
ut isn't that" was Aunt Diana's
| reply. 'She's peculiar. Be blind to
her peculiarities-and be patient"
II could be as patient as-who was
| it?- Jacob? that the minister
preached about last Sunday, if I
| thought 1 could win her at last" he
answered. Aunt Diana, vexed with
| Margaret's peculiarities, resolved on
| diplomacy. She was not going to
allow her niece, who was poor, to
throw herself away on John Fos-
dyke. She was not going to let
her lose the chance of getting a
rich husband like Vaughan Herrick,
| if she could have her way about it.
Vaughan Herrick could give her an
elegant home, and position in So
ciety that any girl in her senses
would covet. He would also be kind
husband to her. The girl must be
mad to let such a chance go by. One
like it might never present itself
| again.
Aunt Diana, however, knowing with
whom she had to deal, felt that she
must move carefully. Margaret had
way of having her own will at
times, and when there was a differ.
ence of opinion she often came out
best in the argument; and if Aunt
Diana were to urge the advisab bility
of the marriage she had so set her
heart on, she felt quite sure it would
make her niece all the more stub.

She must work carefully, and in an

willed that he should look that way.
Her mind-her soul-call it what you
will, sent a message along the un-
seen line which some persons tell
US runs between human souls, and
John Fosdyke's soul felt the subtle
and mysterious influence, for he
paused, looked across the street and
up to her window, and bowed, with
a glad light in his face.
"Who is that Fosdyke bowling to?"
asked her Aunt Diana, from her po-
sition by another window. HE may
have meant the bow for me. If he
did, I don't thank him for his trouble.
don't like him. 1 don't care to culti-
vate his acquaintance. He isn't my
style, and he can keep his bows for
those who appreciate them"
He was not bowling to you," an
swered Margaret quietly, though a
brighter bit of color came into her
cheek as she said it. HE knows very
well that you do not like him, and
he is not the man to give attentions
of any sort where they are unwel-
come"
From which am to infer, sup
pose." said Aunt Diana, sharply, that
he bows to you because he thinks his
attentions are not unwelcome. Is
that it?'
"You are quite right in your con-
clusion,'' answered Margaret. '"I
do like him, and I think he knows it,
I have never taken any trouble to
conceal my friendship from him. Why
should I?'
II must say that you are the
strangest girl I ever saw" said her
aunt, with concealed displeasure.
"You are all dignity and distance
to those in your own set, but you
unbend to this ,Fosdyke as if you
felt him your equal, if not your su-
Perior.' And now there was strong
suspicion of a sneer in Aunt Diana's
voice.. She was intolerant of any
likes or dislikes but her own. John
Fosdyke was one of her especial dis
likes, because she felt afraid that
his influence over her niece was, or
might become, stronger than her
own. That influence might possibly
Interfere, in time to come, with the
carrying out of a pet plan.
II do consider him my SUPERIOR"
answered Margaret. "Of all men I
ever knew, consider him the truest,
the bravest, the manifest. Count
up all the men in what you are
pleased to call our set,' and find
one among them, if you can, who
would do what John Fosdyke has
DONE"
"That's precisely what makes me
consider him fool,". said Aunt Di-
ana. "A man who will deliberately
give up the position he might have
had, and the chance to become ia
nous and WEALTHY and leader of
men, for the sake of preaching to a

"A fool when looked at from your
standpoint, you forgot to say" said
Margaret. "You. forget that all of
