That her name had slipped his
memory, If indeed he had ever known
II, was true; but one thing fingered
incandescently in his mind. and that
was. he had written her, following
infinitely her own specific directions
and inclosing his bankers address in
Paris, Naples and Cairo; and for many
passings of moons he had opened his
foreign mail eagerly and hopefully.
But hope must have something to
feed upon, and after a struggle lasting
two years, she rendered up the ghost.

The Girl Who Wasn't Wanted.

If any one wronged George, defraud-
ed him of money or credit, he was al
ways ready to forgive, agreeing that
perhaps half the fault had been his.
This was not q sign Of weakness, but
of n sense of justice too well leavened
with mercy. Humanity errs in the one
as much as in the other, doubtless
with some benign purpose in perspec.
tive. Now, II might he that this charm

the first Of it's kind to take definite
form in his mind, gave him novel

dittidence, If it was the last fight he
ever put up. He would maneuver to
get in the way of the Major. He never
found much trouble in talking to men.
Once he exchanged word or two
with the uncle or guardian. he would
make it a point to renew the acquaint-
ance when he saw the two together.
1t appeared to him as a bright idea,
and he was rather proud Of 1t. Even
now he was conscious of Clenching his
teeth strongly. It's an old saying that
he goes farthest who shuts his teeth
longest. He was going to test the pre-
cept by immediate practice.
He had stood before the list fully
three minutes. Now he turned about
face, a singular elation tingling his
blood. Once he set his mind upon a
thing, he went forward. He had lost
many pleasurable things in life be-
cause he had doubted and faltered,
not because he had reached out to-
ward them and had then drawn back
He was going to meet Fortune Ched-
soye: when or how were but details
And as he discovered the Major him
self idling before the booth OF the East
Indian merchant, he saw in fancy the
portcullis rise and the drawbridge fall
to the castle of enchantment. He
strolled over leisurely and pretended
to be interested in the case containing
mediocre jewels.
This is a genuine Bokhara en-
broldery?" the Major was inquiring.
ooh, yes, sir"
"How old?"
The merchant picked up the tag
and squinted at It. at is between two
and three hundred years old, SIR"

| dered why she had laughed like that.
The echo Of 1t still rang in his ears.
And while he could not have described
! it, he knew instinctively that It had
been born Of bitter thought.
They chatted for a quarter of an
! hour or more, and managed famously.
1t seemed to him that Fortune Ched-
soye was the first young woman he
had ever met who could pull away
sudden barriers and open up pathways
for speech, who, when he was about
to founder into some cul-de-sac, guided
him adroitly into an alley round it..
Not once was it necessary to drag
in the weather, that perennial II
threadbare topic. He was truly aston

tanned his part in the conversation,
and began TO think pretty well Of

extracted in fifteen minutes, but a
woman obtains in that time a good
idea of the ground plan.
Two distinct purposes controlled the
women in this instance. One desired
to interest him, while the other sought
to learn whether he was stupid or only
shy.
At last, when he left them to change
his clothes and hurry down to Cooks,
to complete the bargain for the Yhior-
DIES. he had advanced so amazingly

tation to the polomatch that after.

worried him not in the least. On the
contrary, he was thinking that he
would be the envy of every other man

will hear several motions. demurrers
and possibly one or two civil cases,
but aside from the Parks-Pearce ha-

matters will be brought to his atten-

leaves the bench formally on Jan
