CHAPTER III.
A WHITE LIE.


So Mamie Wilkinson found, as many
another girl has done, that it is easier
to break than to mend. Each one has to
buy her own experience, and the price is
often heavy. Ralph treated her with the
quiet kindness he showed to all women
but did not seek her society. On the CON
trary, Mamie noticed that he seemed to
find great pleasure in the conversation of
pretty, gentle Margaret Stevens. the
wears grand daughter: and, not knowing
that the bond of interest was Margaret's
tiance-an old friend of Ralph's-she felt
the hitherto unsupported vice of jealousy
make its presence known within her
The girl had all her life received so
much admiration and affection, that to
be sighted for another, as she deemed
it reused all sorts of evil feelings in the
usually debonnaire little creature

chatting to Willie Fenwick and the other
young men of the neighborhood that they

ever.
Dick Musgrave did not approve of her
conduct, and told her so.
Il say. Mamie, what's the matter with
you? What makes you so queer?'
How queer?"

since Christmas Day. You were as
stupid as boiled owl for two days aft
erwards.'
"Frumenty, my dear boy"
"No, it wasn't. because you didn't have
any, and that wouldn't have made YOU
90 on as you do with that ass Fenwick"
Don't abuse Mr.. Fenwick He IS a
great friend of mine"
Il daresay he IS. but that is no reason
YOU should flirt with him so outrageous
