\ GAME BETWEEN LOVERS

prospective mOther-ln-law $ question.
 "I am not sure Estelle and l will be happy together. She has passion for attention. My love does not seem to satisfy her Better give her time to make up her mind that she really pre- fers me to all the rest"
 "l must admit that you show very good sense. will speak to Estelle. and we shall see if she will not do better"
 That would avail nothing. If this love of admiration, which usually cal lies with it a love for dress, is a part Of her nature, she will not heed your ad- monitiOn. Say nothing to her. Leave it to me to decide when, if ever, she is fitted to get on with one man."
 There was no need for either to ad monish Estelle. for she overheard every word from behind a portiere.
 The winter social season was at its height, and Estelle, being engaged. did not scruple to go out in the evening with her lover as sole escort. The first ball they attended after she had over heard her lovers remarks about her she put on her finest costume and all her jewels. When Haywood saw her thus arrayed, he drowned. As soon as they arrived at the ball Estelle accept cd the attentions of every man who was disposed to seek her and seemed pleased that their number was greater than ever before. Haywood stood be side her till her card was filled. then left her to her first partner and did not rejOin her till it was time to leave. He drove home with her, listening to her prattle about the different triunphs she had achieved during the evening, and left her at the door without the usual kiss. The next day he wrote her note breaking the engagement.
 Estelle inclOsed his note without word of comment or reply in an en- velope addressed to Heywood Glover Esq, and sent it through the mail
 Haywood was somewhat taken aback at this unexpected treatment. He con sidered it, to say the least, evidence of a wayward disposition. He deemed himself insulted by the girl who was to have been his wife, and the next step, if any. must be an apology from her. But this was simply a mans view.
 The next entertainment at which Haywood and Estelle met was prom enade concert. EStele was dressed with the utmost simplicity. This was gratifying to Haywood. though some what surprising. He hoped it was in deference to his wishes till Estelle passed him on the arm of her escort. when she turned away her head. There is no weapon with which wOm- an can fight a man so effectively as con tempt. Haywood winced. How tan talizing that she should have respected his wishes as to her costume and at the same time declined to recognize him! There was another inconsistency instead of accepting the attentions of number of men, she confined herself almost exclusively to one.
 Things were not going Heywood's way. Instead of the apology he had looked for as the only possible solution 10 the situation, Estelle had cut him and had evidently taken up with an other man. When the self deposed lov- CT went home that night, he was very neal a collapse, very nearly ready to sue for reinstatement But the next morning he awoke an hour before day light and thought it all over when his brain was cool and resolved, come what might, to fight to finish.
 When a resolute man makes up his mind that he is right and, after often going over his premises, invariably comes to the same conclusion, he IS hard to move. Day after day passed during which Haywood whenever De ,oot SSI.felle treated her as though she rod had no place whatever in his life.
