sarcastcay from over his shoulder as he went ahead
Nav pushed Wilson from her with an angry
gesture "Go!" she cried impatiently. Go away
or shall speak to you again-yes, yes, Will
see you tomorrow, but go nowl" And without
giving him time to reply she began to run alter
Harry's rapidly disappearing figure.
Harry" she cried, oh, Harry! DO stop!
Harry"
Warren laughed again, but he did not moderate
his pace. May perfectly aware that according
to all the which govern these matters she
ought to sink fainting by the roadside and awaken
to find Harry bending over her in frenzy OF alarm,
frantcay beseeching her to forgive him; but she
had doubts to the efficacy of this method in real
life and preferred therefore, to depend on her
running powers.
"Oh, Harry!" she said, catching him at last, and
claspng his arm between her two hands. How
can YOU be unkind?"
"Unkind?" retorted Harry sneeringly. 1 think
| was very kind indeed not to interrupt you. When
a gentleman finds the girl he has come to meet
Willing away the time by spooning with a groom,
he naturally concludes his presence is not required
"Spoonine?" repeated May reproachfuly. q" How
can YOU say such thing to me, Harry" There
was culver in her voice that foreshadowed tears,
but Warren seemed hardly amenable to that form
of persuasion
If you think you can fool me by turning on the
waterworks," he said with brutal frankness, you
are very much mistaken. l am not blind. Why,
the fellow had hold of your hand"
Il know" said May, with hurt dignity, but
it was only just the moment you came up, and the
mans manner seemed SO strange that was fright

Well then, the poor fellow must be wrong in his
head. Why" with little laugh, if at the
irresistible humor of recollection, he asked me to
marry him!"
well" shortly ''why don't your"
IF you joking" she said stiffly Il think it
very bad taste. A groom Besides, he knows very
well that am engaged to you
Were, he corrected.
The girls healthy red cheeks whitened and she
stopped Harry" she said TREMENDOUSLY and now
there was no art in the culver of her voice, what
does all this mean? You insisted upon engage
ment being kept secret, and you have made the
most paltry excuses Now you talk of engage
nlent being at an end. But will not allow you to
make the impertnence of that Wilson the
excuse Why don't you tell the TRUTH and say you
are hankering after Miss Holt?"
Warren was not entirely sorry that May herself
had preached the subject. He imagined it would
serve smooth the way for him.
Look here, May" he said, with attempt at
sentiment there's not girl in all the world think
fit 70 wipe your shoes. And long | live |
will never love any other woman. But l am in
the very deuce of a hole, and there is nothing
excepting a marriage with Edith Holt that will
get me out of it. Of course, DEAR it need not make
any real difference to us.
THANK YOU Mr. Warren, for your good opinion
of me-" she interrupted sarcastically. Il am not
the sort of person to after other peoples hus-
bands and when you married to your heiress
you won't be troubled by me- But before that
