BY THE LIGHT
OF THE MOON

Annie Hartwell, behind the cur
tains Of her chamber, saw the
strange young man deliberately pull
up her cherished pansies and throw
them away. All this happened in
the dim light Of the waning moon.
At breakfast the next morning she
stared curiously at her mothers
guest. Her anger was gone. She
merely wondered at the mania pos
sessing the youth.
Folwell wss good looking. He did
not look like c monomaniac- He
seemed unusually well balanced, and
thoroughly posted. His gray eyes
were frank to a point Of positive
candor, and they did not belle him.
The youthful, well proportional
frame Of Folwell was calculated to
appeal to any normal-minded maid.
Annie had been quite won to this
visitor from the city.
Felix Folwell was an entire
stranger to the HartwsllS. He had
come to them in their dainty Fair
view home with letters Of introduce
ton from mutual friends in the city,
and he had consequently been ac-
corded all the privileges Of an old
social acquaintance.
The brow Of Annie wrinkled into
a thoughtful frown as she reviewed
the events Of the, several days that
this youth had been with them. Re
Aectively she eyed the ravished
pansy bed.
'Do / intruder"
The girl turned calm eyes to the
questioner.
''Not at all. l am in somewhat
Of a quandary. Perhaps you can as

Sist me. As you see, some person,
or animal, has ruthlessly destroyed
my flower bed. / am inclined to
think 1t the former. See the foot
prints.
Annie would have liked to see the
expression on the mans face as he
bent above the ruined plot.
"Beastly joke" he calculated at
ast, and raised his frank eyes to
meet her own. 'T'm sure l can't
understand"
"Nor l." came from the girl, but
she wondered greatly that she still
felt no anger against this youth.
Felix Folwell seemed to have no
mission in the town. His introduce
tory letters intimated that he was a
young man Of fortune, and that this
country trip-Griggsville was a
small town-was advised by physi-
clan who had decreed quiet for the
young man.
Folwell looked the very antithesis
Of a man who suffered. Annie, with
suspicion concealed behind the calm
Of her eyes, noted this.
"Did you sleep well last evening %
she probed some time after the
pansy dialogue was over.
The visitor favored her with a
keen, almost analytical glance,
@Pretty WE'LL" he answered, smooth
y. "WhyF"
ooh, nothing"
That night by the light of the
moon, the girl was again the silent
witness of a most peculiar maneuve1
on the part Of the New Yorker.
Her eyes were focused on a great
lilac bush when it suddenly crashed
heavily to the ground. Startled, she
stared at its destroyer, Folwell, who
was now disclosed with a spade il
his hand on the other side of thu
fallen shrub. As she gazed, tn,
guest shouldered his instrument anC
marched serenely away.
