as if he might be intending to order
millinery for his sister.
TO his disappointment, only the eld-
er milliner was there and, with some
difficulty, he made her understand
that he wished the epistle delivered
to the girl he had seen on his former
visit.
The good woman was fairly non
plussed at first, then after moments
thought said she would deliver the
missiye.
When her days work was at an
end she walked to the other end Of
town, went up long drive leading to
a fine old country house, at the door
of which she asked to see Miss HAda
The young lady received her very
kindly but blushed good deal on
hearing what she had to say
And who is the gentleman" she
asked
"A Mr.. Wilding-brother-in to
Mr.. Bertram who has just rented the
Bonners home for the summer" an

When left alone, Hilda sat for some
minutes before opening the note, and
was astonished to find that her heart
was beating eXcitedly. The perusal
left her more excited still.
Really, Theo, l shall have to leave
you at home if you are so absent
minded" demonstrated Mrs. Bertram
on the following evening.

to take care of you without me-"
Certainly. But you were expressly

They were the first arrivals at Mrs.
Smiths, and in quick succession after
them came sundry dowagers with
heavy husbands, sporting sons and
countrified daughters.

Mrs. Smith. But just then the door
opened and they. were announced
Theodore looked up with an air of
vexed inquiry. What would this girl
be like; whom his sister was trying to
force down his throat?
He saw an exquisite dress, fault
less figure and-the face of his little
milliner!
For an instant the room seemed to
turn round with him and he was only
recalled to his senses by feeling his
sisters eyes fixed upon him triumph
antly.
Though he had not the happiness
of taking Miss Hilda Eversley in to
dinner, he sat next to her and, under
cover of other peoples conversation,
managed to say:
SIS it really you or is 1t your dou-
ble?"
Here or in Parker's shop?" was the
saucy reply.
"Then you are one and the same!

Il am not surprised at that. / will
explain some time"
Then he summoned up courage to
say:

Her eyes dropped and she answered
yes"

@why should be If you really could
not help it?"
FAnd your reply?" he was embold-
ened to ask.
Il thought It would be better to de.
