Every day when 1t did not rain, and
sometimes when it did, Thisbe Latch
wandered off into the woods or down
along the river aud came back at night
with some added grace from natures
wild treasury. She had run away for
rest and health to the little parenthesis
in the country that called itself town.
She got good deal besides these gifts
The two men that We're happy enough
to live in the same house with Miss
Latch were far better aware of her
gains than she was herself.
Mrs Redding kept the house. She
had only a few guests. Her son Tom
protested against those, so far as the
principle went. But when the practice
happened to include Thisbe Latch he
began to persuade himself that perhaps
1t was better for his mother to have
something that would interest her and
keep her from being lonely, as she had
been since his fathers death. Miss
Latch was schoolteacher, but no one
would have detected it-at least by any
of the labels that the pictures in the
comic papers furnish. Her hair was as

Might snoiI tl,s Eject.

Whe Marshal MacMahon was presi-
dent of the French republic an Incl
dent occurred which illustrates the
Frenchmans love Of what is dramatic.
A French soldier sat on the summit
OF a hill overlooking garrison town.
His horse was picketed close by. This
man was smoking leisurely, and from
time to time he glanced from the espla-
made to an official envelope he held In
his hand.
A comrade passed by and said:
"What are you doing hereT
II am bearing the presidents pardon
for our friend Flichmann, who Is to be
shot this morning. replied the smoker
calmly without changing his comfort
able attitude.
"well, then, you should hurry along
with your pardon" admonished his
comrade.
"Oh, nor exclaimed the other In
some Indignation. See, there is hard
ly soul yet on the esplanade, and the
firing platoon has not even been form
ed. You surely would not have me rob
my appearance OF all dramatic effect.

Tom nodded. Mr.. Carlton Cross
looked bored. He was not troubled
with very much imagination. Later he
had a chance to continue his account
Of very grand reception he had at
tended at Rochester. Miss Latch heard
the sound of the young lawyers voice.
but her thoughts We're with the drug
clerk. The idea that he, down at the
store, imagined himself In that partic-
ular chair fascinated her. She looked
at the empty rocker, and as the twi-
light deepened and the street lamp was
lighted she could fancy that the shad-
ow which the pillar threw ON its high
back was Tom.
Two days later instead of leaving by
the front door, Tom came around from
the side of the house. In one hand he
held q little bunch Of pansies. He
handed them over the rail of the porch,
his hat in his other hand, without a
word.
"Oh, the beauties. Here's a yellow
one with purple eyes and purple one
with yellow eyes, exclaimed Thisbe.
When Tom was gone she remembered
Ophelia's saying:
"Pansies-that's for thoughts"
She also remembered that the poet
Keats was an apothecary's prentice.
The conversation of Carlton Cross be-
came less and less interesting. Being
no lover of flowers himself, it did not
occur to him that the little velvet leaves
were his rivals.
When Tom came home that night he
found Miss Latch on the porch. She
was still holding the pansies in her
hands. He walked to the chair beside
her.
Il thought you said you were sitting
there already" said Miss Latch, with
touch of mischief
THAT doesn't satisfy me any longer"
broke out the man impatiently. THAT
chair can't tell you what l think of
you. / can't tell YOU myself, but I'll
try. think you are the loyeliest wo-
man In the world. I can't help loving
you"
For long time she was still. Then
she began:
If you can't help it, why, them
She paused, and Tom leaned toward
her. His hand covered hers, crushing
the flowers.
"Thisbe," he pleaded softly, do you
care for me?"
The hand he held answered for her.
Tom rose from his chair and kissed the
girl on the lips.
A little later he said, "You don't
know how much afraid | was, sweet
heart, to leave you here for those long
sunset talks with another man"
You needn't have been," she answer
ed happily. "The sunset and the twi-
light seemed to belong to YOU The
more he talked the more dreamed of
somebody else"

own school children. and far more dis
concerning.
Carlton Cross, another guest at the
house, failed to interest Tom very no
ticeably, although Miss Latch appeared
to like him. Cross was spending few
weeks in town settling up an estate for
which he was counsel. He devoted
his evenings to pretty obvious effort
to settle the estate of matrimony so far
as Miss Latch and he were concerned
Every evening after supper the two
sat on the broad porch while sun
set glorified the valley below them and
twilight crept out of the deepest wood
where it had been lurking and hiding
from the sun all day.
Tom Redding worked In one Of the
drug stores of the village That meant
that his evenings went into the drug
gist's profits till such time as he could
command a store of his own and hire
some other poor soul to work for him
That was the end toward which Ton
was slowly advancing, but for the pres
ent he was forced to pass out of the
door after supper, walk resolutely
across the porch TO where the more ia
vored man and the girl they both want
ed sat, and with brave spontaneous
cheerfulness bid them good evening.
On two or three occasions Cross ha6
spared him this pain by taking the CIR
off for a drive That was worse yet
1t is true, Tom had his Sundays, but 8
part Of these he always spent with bis
mother. He felt that Cross was forg

that discouraged Tom most was this
