condition Of open-mouth wonder.

words which should calm her. Shaking
his head gloomily, he continued to stare
at the place where Kitty had been, try
Ing to adjust his mind to the light
ning-like change of conditions.
Kitty's moods and tempers were as
flashes OF powder and just about as
lasting. Larry, slow Larry, was steady
and unchanging, and he could not fol
low the way that Kitty led through the
maze Of her caprices. They had quar-
relied before, at least Kitty had quar-
relied, but never like this. Never be-
fore had she left him in anger. With
her it was a quick word and as quick
a contrttiOn which eraved forgiveness
and was passionately repentant. Larry
thought he had learned to understand
her, but this was something of which
he had never dreaIDed.
Kitty and Larry both children of
Erin, belonged to the railroad which
made the small town through which it
passed. FIFTY way the daughter of one

dashing, handsome Rosie, with black
hair and eyes and a brilliant color and
flashing white teeth, which she Ioved
to display In smiles, bestowed impair
TALLY on all mankind that came near
her, but she hgG not thought Of harm
ing Kitty when she talked to Larry and
served him his wedges of pie, washed
down with great guIps of coffee. And
Larry would not have been human If
he had not responded in kind and ex-
changed Jest for Jest with the smiles
thrown in for good nature.
Probably no harm would have come
Of all this, had there not been another
who wanted Kitty. She was the pref

with her prettiness were a ready wit
and q whimsical turn Of mind that made
all these charms there was no better

and her father lived together in a box
Of a cottage, sweet and shining with

out her wrath at Larry, and, without
giving him time to choose, turned him
over to Rosie. Then no sooner was she

Schwab, the steel magnate, in a recent
address. I'm the most untoward con

LET me illustrate this point with
foolish story that yet has a lesson in
it.
"a mother, fearing that her pretty
daughter had bethrothed herself to
young man of inferior station, hired
her little son, a boy Of Z or 8, to stay
in the parlor throughout an expected
visit Of the unwelcome sutton.
''The boy carried out his contract
duly, and at 10 o'clock, tired and
sleepy, he came to his mother and
asked for his pay.
Did you stay in the parlor?' she
said eagerly.
Yes, all the time he answered.
