though it seemed ridiculous thing to dol mean it

course it wasn't kiss and there was SO little light
in the room that very likely Richard couldn't
me. That at least the thought with which
tried to console myself later when l began to reflect
my foolishness
After all, if Richard did see that half kiss it
wasn't so very bad, because this was really our
good by. For this Tuesday evening and
Wednesday to go home. John was to see
us off on the Limited, as Richard, for some reason
could not leave his Office in the middle of the day
Well, in the morning before had finished my
with a small box for me- What do You Suppose it
was! Just as soon as saw it had a queer feeling
1t had Titfanys name the LABEL but the address
lettered if the writer wished to disguise his
hand. Sure enough when l opened the box there
my mind before l took the gift from its wrapping
Why hadn't the sender let the clerk direct the
label. Why should anyone send me anonymous
present? But when l held the two little crclets in
my hand, knew. 1t was like John. He just didn't
want the clerk to know that he would give such
present to girl and SO he had carried the box off
to send by messenger himself
Luckily, almost everyone had left the table by
this time; there only Mrs de Vyster to show any
interest, and widows really be awfully curious.
1t isn't large enough box for flowers, even
candy" she said, while l fddling with the
strings. Perhaps it's coronet," she whispered
mischievously she stood over me, and though
didn't show them to her her sharp eyes sped what

wear" she said Il lost one myself the other even

there's no chance of my seeing it again
Aunt Laura luckily hasn't the least curiosity.
She didn't even ask me what came in the box nor
who sent it. But then John had sent her box Of

sent them back. But at the last minute Aunt Laura
slipped the box into my trunk and it locked and
strapped and on its way down stairs already So
l could only wait until l got back home As 1
couldn't return the things to him, l didn't quite
dare to say anything to John at the station, and
perhaps it was just we'll For he seemed quite
unconscious of having offended me, and the box of

saying good night. The next
evening, which was to be my
last in New York, l went to the
theater with Richard, and again
we walked home. Aunt Laura
had not gone with us, because
she was tired. AS we walked
from the car, Richard began to
reproach me for hurrying SO the
evening before.

Richard day. with disagreeable laugh, when
1 told him where John and 1 had been. The
two very different, and although Richard
was extravagant about some things, John wasn't
in the least mean Besides he was far the richer of
the two, although Aunt Laura told me that Richard

business.

to New York very special business, and had to

John paused beside me, and l began to point out

suddenly found myself turning redder and redder,

galleries where some new French pictures were on

John never made the least allusion to my little

That was why she was so willing to let me go about
with him. She felt if cousins, though of
course we were not. He is ever 50 much older, and
never had seen much of him, except in his college
vacations when he used to visit Aunt Laura and
just little girl. Still he did seem like an old
friend when he came to us in New York, and Aunt
Laura never noticed the sentimental manner that
he had in talking with me.

Ing. II is To be regretted that there
was not more time to prepare for the
trip. as our team has slackcned up
on Its practice because there was but
one game ahead of them. However.
with n or two practices. the
team will doubtless give a good ac-
count Of themselves.
We understand, from the Las Vegas
Optic. that the opera house has been
chartered for the game. This Is en-.
Icouraging. because, from the reports,
of our girls team, We rather feared
the small court of the Las Vegas Y.
NJ. c. A. The team will return Tues.
day night TO Albuquerque, and. after
remaining In the city two days, will
leave Thursday night for Mcsilla Park,
where the annual game with the Farm
ers will take place. This promises TO
be the hardest game of the year. Mr..
Miller, of the A. c., thinks he can ar
range a game for us with the Socorro

who go to Las Veags on the regular
