Granville Rose pondered moodily over
Fs visit as he drove to the station. He
had not quite mastered the fact that he
mns IN love with his cousin, but he had
arrived at some close apprehensions on
So subject. He felt that he would have
baon good deal better satisfied had his
nortinc salute been much less easily ac-

with girlish delight recOunts all her sue

the fond mother listens with quiet happi-
ness as her hand plays with her daugh-
tprs :iIken tresses. That nobody could
eclipse, that nobody could ever be wor-
Thy of mating with her peerless Maude,
was a thing that Mrs. Denison would

Harold DeniSon entered the room in
his usual listless fashion. He kissed his
daughter carelessly, asked if she had en-
Nyed her ball, scarce listened to her af-
hmation and then plunged at once into
the letters and papers that lay piled
alongside his plate. He was a tall, slight,
handsome man, with keen, cold eye and
iather undecided mouth. verging on fifty
years Of age. The slightly grizzled eye

cages and Sundry other liabilities, form
ed the staple of the daily missives that
constituted the accompaniment to his
breakfast. Can it be wondered that the
mans temper Was soured?-that the
EllIom gay froIic squire of Glinn had
become cold, caustic and selfish man of
the world?
Things seem to be getting worse and

aoWn an epistIe on the best superfne
