Aunt Nancy was not surprised. She
had felt it coming. yet simply didn't
know what to say in reply. Years be
fore she had made up her mind never
to wed. but when the words of love
were lisped out softly she was torn
with conflicting emotions. She got out

week. and. though the poet didn't see
how he was to exist for seven long
days, he finally agreed.
On the next evening a hop was given
at the hotel Aunt Nancy was no hand
to show off. but she had some fine dia
monds in the hotel safe and she got
chem out for the occasion. She didn't
care to dance, and the poet complained
of Il lame leg. and so it happened that
they paraded the veranda arm in arm
and lisped sentiment.
After awhile they wandered out on
the lawn to observe the moon, and he
suggested walk up the path to Oh
serve the shadows. She sighed, and
he sighed. and by and by they were IA

gayety and all alone on the path.

His Son Andy.

DIR. Andrew ]. McCosh was in his
college days a famous athlete. He
could run faster, kick a football fur
Their and jump higher than any man in
Princeton. Publicly his father, Presi-
dent McCosh, took no notice of An
dy's achievements. That he privately
rejoiced in his sons prowess the stu
dents learned in this way:
Jimmy, as the president was ia
miliarly called, though exceedingly
courteous, was given to fits of abstrac-
ton in which he entirely forgot his
surroundings.
Once at reception in his home, ap-
parently forgetful of all the world, he
was pacing up and down the room
with head bent and hands interlocked
behind his back. Suddenly he walked
up before a young lady and asked; p,

In an embarrassed way she replied,

CONVERTING
~ A GUARDIAN
BY CYRUS DERICKSON
Copyright, 1901, By the
S. S. Mcclure Company

There was nothing giddy about Miss
Nancy Messmore, aged thirty-two, an
old maid and the aunt and legal guard
ian of Miss Bessie Haplin, aged nine
teen. Bessie had never fallen in love
with a penniless count, consented to
elope with the family coachman or
given her heart to college student
acting as waiter at a summer hotel,
but for all this she was supposed to
be giddy. Strict discipline was needed
at all times, but more particularly
when the couple had settled down at
Catskill hotel to spend the month
of July.
The gil was attractive and ingenu
Gus, and she couldn't help meeting
young men, who soon became smitten.
But it was Miss Messmore's duty in
public and Aunt Nancy's duty in pri-
vate to set dead line beyond which
the most ardent captive should pass at
his peril. If there was little eXcur-
sion to a cave or a gorge. she was on
hand; if there was music in the parlor,
she sat where she could gaze into the
face of the young man turning over
the music at the piano; If there was a
tete-a-tete on the veranda, she crowded
in and changed the conversation from

The JOY Of midsummer possessed
Elaine. Commonly she was pale,
with Swallowed eyes aud piteously
dropping mouth. Today the shadows,
the dropping, had vanished She
smiled until dimpLes played hide and

The peach basket would go to church
tomorrow along with other baskets
overfowing with good things. There
were to be three sermons, with dinner
and supper In between; much choice
gossip also, with, incidentally. lovemak.

would be there. That meant to Elaine

calculating eyes. Elaine dreaded the
eyes, yet was glad Allan had mother
to look out for. 1t saved her the tor
ture of seeing him gailanting other
girls ever SO much prettier than her
own pale self.
Until he came she had never loved
anybody. She was sure that he loved
her. Had he not kissed her fingers
and called them precious" after she
had played for him a whole evening
through? He had said too: 81 must
be free before l marry. Ny mother,
you know, holds everything in trust
until l am thirty" 1t was easy for
Elaine to persuade herself that he
did not speak out because he was too
honorable to ask any woman to wait
for him five years.
Gossip had it his mother was bent
on matching him with her niece Madge

from her covert and sank beside her
basket, huddled, moaning heap. She
lay there until shutdown, love fighting
hard with woman's pride. And love
won out. That night all her prayer
was, Lord, Lord, let him love me or
else let me die"
Allan came to her next day as she
knelt beside the peach basket, lifting up
pink flushed beauties from their nests
Of cool green leaves. His whisper in
her ear made her cheeks outfiush the

toward the spring in the edge of the

woman to take care of the giddy young

When Miss Bessie rebelled, she was
answered:
Il must do my duty. Every girl of

Bessie flung herself down on the bed
to weep rebellious tears and wish she

guardian following her about, she
couldn't even drop her handkerchief

however. Within an hour he had not

long tramp, but had brought about a
radical change of her opinions toward
