A CHANGE OF HEART

Copyright, 1904. By Daily Story Pub Col
The objections Bessie Upton had to
Conway were that he was too good,
too inoffensiye, too polite and too dig
nifed.
Pauline Gerrish, who Is herself not
eaolly devoid OF personal attractions,
asked Bessie one day why she snubbed
poor Conway so.
Il cant snub him, darlingest GIRL"
replied Bessie; Il may try to occasion
ally, but my envenomed shafts can't
penetrate his armor Of mild dignity and
sweet courtesy. They rebound and hit
me. He hss the effect Of always put
ting me in the wrong, and don't know
of anything more maddening than that"
Hes good-looking."
Il suppose he is"
And he dances better than any OF
tle men know"
"He worships the ground you walk
on"
Il can't help that
Elm not so sure, Bessie; / believe you
do give him little encouragement now
and then. AS TO being too good, don't
believe in such thing in man. They're
not made that way. Well, IL you don't
want him I'll take him and see what
tan make of him"
"You are welcome as far as am con-
cerned"
Accordingly, Pauline made her little
experiment. Bessie found herself watch

that Conway was quite unresponsive,
and she felt little impatient with him.

where he was
She hardly knew why she had called
him to her. When he came, with an ex-
pectant look in his brown eyes, she said,
rather coldly: "well?"
81 thought you wanted me-" he said.
| "You were mistaken" declared Miss
Bessie; 81 did not"
Conway smiled good-humoredly, and
stopped him.
Suppose had?" she said. why
should you rush over the instant as
! If"
| He waited moment politely, for her
to complete the statement. and then, as
she seemed to have no intention of do

wanted me-"
That's reasoning in vicious circle"
she said in slight confusion, cor, rather.
! It isn't reason at ALL
Then will give you the reason more
/ fully" he said. IT'S because love you.
J and 1t is my highest pleasure to obey a
wish OF yours Will you try me-"
1t was rather sudden, but OF course
Bessie knew better than to tell him
that. She told him. however, thatit was
/ impossible and hopeless. lie was fool
lsh enough to press her for a reason,
and in fit OF nervous irritation she
! told him he was too good, too inoffen-
! sive. too polite and too dignified He as
sures her that she was altogether mis-
taken, but he took his refusal in man.

she had mentioned. and 1T was some
time before she saw him again.

She was in a street car-one OF. the
open summer variety, and she heard his
voice behind her with a peculiar thrill.
He was not speaking to her. though. He
was addressing a burly-looking person
with a stubble of black. beard on
particularly prominent jaw. He spoke
politely. begging this individual to re-
frain from thrusting his arm in his face
as he spread his newspaper before him.
"what's the matter with your"
growled the big man.
Nothing at all serious" said Con.
way, evenly. ITS merely unpleasant.
I know you don't realize that you were
making a nuisance Of yourself, so you
must excuse me for calling your atten-
ton to the fact for the third and last
time"
Bessie noticed that his color was
heightened as he and the burly man
glared at each other. She thought,
though 1t alarmed her, that Conway's
glare was becoming. At last the burly
man. with a snort of contempt, trans
ferred his gaze to his newspaper. which
he held in the same Objectionable posi-
ton. Conway instantly snatched II from
his hands and threw it from the car, and
as the burly man rose he struck him un-
der the chin, using at the same time
a decidedly bad word. AS the burly man
staggered back, he clutched at Conway
to save himself. and the next instant the
two had fallen from the car and were

Bessie got off at the next corner
When she reached Conway. he was sit

sick and faint. One eye was swollen

tie. His collar was half off and his
necktie was hanging over his back. His
coat was torn in several places. The
remark of one OF the crowd that he
looked as II he had been "up against
1t" was certainly justified.
Bessie helped him into the providen-
tial cab with the assistance OF the cab
man, and to his horror followed him
herself. He rather brokenly explained
his sense of humiliation, but she stopped
him by wiping his face with her dainty
little handkerchief. The way she did II
was-well!
ST wouldn't have had this happen for
you to see for the world" protested Con-
way. 1T sprained my ankle and the
brute got away. II I ever get my hands
on him"
.Hush!" said Bessie, That's un-
christian. And II you knew how glad
I was. Now let me fix that tie. You poor
boy"
Bessie" cried Conway, suddenly.
"has anything changed your feeling for
me since last saw you? Tell mel"
Bessie laughed nervously. "You know
what my objections were" she said.
