THE PLUMP AND PETITE.

Our country has many authors,
Whose books we love to read;
1t also boasts of artists
Whose pictures are fine indeed;
But, II you'll look closely, you'll notice
In every celebrity,
Be 1t an artist or author,
A popularity.
We love Mr.. "so-and-So JOS latest book
The heroine Is 80 sweet;
To look at the illustrations
Is Just a perfect treat;
But now I'll tell you the trouble
That stares at me always, so grim,
The girl of both artist and author
Is always tall and slim.
oh! what can we do, my sisters,
Who are under five feet three,
Or, who lin horror / write i)
Are nearing obesity? ,
Is there no one to sing our praises,
Or to call us neat and trim?
Is she always to be foremost.
The girl who Is tall and slim?
Yet the future must hold n champion
Who will cry to the world: II repeat
The girl whom I admire
Must always be plump and petite"
Yes. q time must come, my sisters,
When all the praises from him
Will not be forever directed
To the girl who is tall and slim.

he intended it only as a threat.

haunting response.
The man was n Of the aggressively

Policeman Flynn hesitated. Men

that they have some "infioo'nce" at
headquarters.

Nevertheless, he wasn't exactly sat

CHAPTER XII.
AFTERNOON STROLL AND AN EVEN
ING CATASTROPHE.

AFTERNOON STROLL AND AN EVEN
ING CATASTROPHE.
Miss Milbrey, the second morning at
Mrs. Gwilt-Athlestan's house party,
faced with becoming resignation what
she felt would be her last day of en-
tire freedom. She was down and out
philosophically to play nine holes with
her host before breakfast.
Her brother after a night of 1t with
Mauburn, awakening less happily, made
a series Of discoveries regarding his
bodily sensations that caused him to
view life with disaffection. Noting
that the hour was early, however, he
took cheer. and after a long, strong,
cold drink, which he rang for, and q
pricking icy shower, which he nerved
himself to, he vas ready to ignore his
aching head and get the start of Maui

tered for life in the open. each to his
taste. Some were on the links. Some
had gone with the coach. A few had
ridden early to the meet of the Essex
hounds near Easthampton, where a
stiff run was expected. Others had
gone to follow the hunt in traps. A
lively group came back now to read
the morning papers by the log fire in
the big CHEEKY hall. Among these were
Perciyal and Miss Milbrey. When they
had dawdled, over the papers, for an
hour Miss Milbrey grew slightly res
tive.
"Why doesn't he have 1t over?" she
asked herself, with some Impotence.
And she delicately gave Percivsl, not
an opportunity, but opportunities to
make an opportunity, which is Q vastly
different form Of procedure.
But the luncheon hour came and
people struggled back and the attsr'

noon began, and the request for Miss
Milbrey's heart and hand was still un-
accountably deferred. Nor could she
feel any OF those subtle ~premonitions
that usually warn a woman when the
event Is preparing in a lovers secret
heart.
Reminding herself OF his letters, she
began to suspect that. while he could
write unreservedly, he might be shy
and reluctant Of speech; and that shy
ness now deferred him. SO much be-
ing clear, she determined to force the
Issue and end the strain for both.
Percival had shown not q little in
terest in pretty Mrs. Akemit, and was
now talking with that fascinating crea-
ture as she lolled on a low seat before
the fire In her lacy blue house gown.
At the moment she was adroitly pos
ing n foot and then the other before
the warmth Of the crate. It may be
disclosed without damage to this tale
that the feet of Mrs. Akemit were NOT
cold; but that they were trifes most
daintily shod, and, as her slender sill.
ken ankles curved them toward the
blaze from her froth of a petticoat
they were worth looking at.
Miss Millbrey dlsunited the chatting
couple with swiftness and aplomb.
Come, Mr.. Bines, IL I'm to take

Outside she laughed d%eliciously. "You

"Of course! Great joke, wasn't it?'
assented the young man, rather awk.
wardly.
Down the broad sweep of roadway
running between its granite coping
they strobe at a smart pace.
You know you complimented my
walking powers on that other wall
we took, away off there where the
sun goes down."

otherwise Objectionable remarks, Po-

as she had construed II, was turned q

and not a little piqued. During the
walk back, when this much had been
made clear, the silence was intolerably
oppressive. Without knowing why,

neither had been ingenious.

thought she. On the other hand, youth
Is often gifted with a credulity divine
and unerring.
At the door as they came up the
roadway a trap was depositing a man
whom Miss Milbrey greeted with evil
dent surprise and some restraint. He
was slight, dark, and quick of move
ment, with finely cut nostrils that ex-
banded and quivered ~nervously like
those of a high-bred horse In tight
check.
Miss Milbrey introduced him to Per-
cival as Mr.. Ristine.
II didn't know you were hereabouts,"
she said.
I've run over from the Bloynes to
dine and do Halloween with YOU" he
answered, flashing his dark eyes quick
ly over Percival and again lighting the
girl with them.
Surprises never come singly," she
returned, and Percival noted a curious
little air of defiance in her glance and
manner.
Now it is possible that Solomon's
implied distinction as to the mans way
with a maid was not, after all, so i'll

For young Bines, after dinner, fell
in love with Miss Milbrey all over
again. The normal human mind GO
ing to one extreme will inevitably
gravitate to its opposite If given time.

that she was heartless and mercenary
Having tasted in the desert of doubt
The now. found himself detecting In
her an unmistakable appeal for SYM
pathy, for human kindness, perhaps for
love. He forgot the words of Higbee
and became again the confident, I'M
questioning lover. He noted her rath-
er subdued and reserved demeanor, and
the suggestions OF WEAKNESS about her
eyes. They drew him. He resolved at
once to seek her and give his love
freedom to tell itself. He would no
longer meanly restrain it. He would
even tell her all his distrust. Now
that they had gone she should know
every ignoble suspicion; and. whether
She cared for him or not, she would
comfort him for the hurt they had
been to him.
The Halloween frolic was on.
Through the long hall, lighted to pleas
ant dusk by real Jack-o'-lanterns, stray
couples strolled, with subdued muir.
murs and soft laughter. In the big
white and gold parlor, in the dining
room, billiard room, and in the tropic
Jungle of the immense palm garden the
party had bestowed itself in congenial
groups, ever intersecting and forming
anew. Little f1utters of high laughter
now and then told of tests that were
being made with roasting chestnuts,
apple parings, the white of an egg
dropped into water, or the lighted
candle before an open window.

Higbee: "She's hunting night and day
for a rich husband; she tries for them
as fast as they come; she'd rather mar
ry a sub-treasury-she'd marry me in
a minuts-she's marry you; but il you
were broke she'd have about as much
use for you . .
Her glance was frank, friendly, and
encouraging. Her deep eyes were clear
as a trout-brook. He thought he say
in them once almost a tenderness for
him.
She thought, "He does love mel"
Outside the grounds they turned
down a bridle-path that led off through
the woods-off through the golden sun
wine of an October day. The air bore
a clean autumn spice. and a faint salty
scent blended with 1t from the distant
sound. The autumn silence, which ID
the only perfect silence in all the
world, was r%estful, yet full of sig
~nificance, suggestion, provocation.
From the spongy lowland back of them
came the pleading sweetness of q
meadow-lark's cry. Nearer they could
even hear an occasional leaf fiutter and
waver down. The quick thud Of a
falling nut was almost loud enough to
earn Its echo. Now and then they saw
a lightning flash of vivid turquoise and
heard a jay's harsh scream
In this stiffness their voices instinc-
lively lowered, while their eyes did
homage to the wondrous play of col
or about them. Over a yielding brown
carpet they went among maple aud
chestnut and oak, with their bewilder-
ing changes through crimson, russell,
and amber to pale yellow; under the
de%ep-stained leaves of the sweet-gum
they went, ana past the dogwood with
scarlet berries gemming the clusters OF
its dim red leaves.
