Little Louise went home in a taxi.
She begged Whelpley to have it stop
at the corner
1T would make me so conspic-
uo"s." she said. pleadingly.
The taxi stopped at the corner, and
Towne helped Louise out, and there
stood old Charles waiting.
81 thought you'd come on the car,
my DEAR" he said.
Then Towne, with murmured
goodbye" slipped away, and old
Charles tucked Louise's arm in his.

Blushingly little Louise tried to
explain. 81 didn't want Cousin
Agatha to know. She's so strict"
"Your cousin Agatha's wonderful
woman said old Charles You'd
do well/to listen to her." He hest
tated and went on. II know the man
who brought you home = work in
his office. I am only an under clerk.
He is engaged to the daughter Of a
millionaire"
"Enga ged?' gasped little Louise.
"Yes," said old Charles, quietly.
When little Louise said goodnight
to old Charles on the steps Of the big,
dark house he said, gently, my little
girl, tell everything to your Cousin
Agatha; she is very wise woman"
The next morning little Louise did
not go to work She curled up on
Cousin Agatha's couch and said, 81

Wise Cousin Agatha kissed her. "My

THE PROMISED LAND.

Little Louise, arriving in the city
went straight to the house where a
friend had engaged rooms for her
The friend was an old-maid cousin
She at once took Louise in charge.
There are just three things" she
said, primly"that young girl must
remember when she first comes to
the city. She must be careful about
the friends she makes, she must be
quiet in her dress, and she must re-
frain from loud manner"
Louise, surveying the narrow room
with it's couch bed, asked timldly,
"Are they all so dark?'
The prime little lady gave he a
pecking kiss on the ear Now, my
dear. don't get blue. In a week or SO,
you'll find lots of nice things about
this house, and thank goodness, its
perfectly respectable.
you're to come up and have
dinner with me-" continued Cousin
Agatha. MRS Smeed doesn't give
meals. but thought if you'd get a
good lunch down stairs we could man
age. Well divide expenses, and III
cook our breakfasts and suppers, and
you can wash the Dishes
After Cousin Agatha had gone
Louise sat down on the bed Imply.
This didn't seem at all like the
Promised land Of her dreams. She
had grown so tired of the quiet farm,
of the uneventful days; she had
grown so tired of--Jacob Cole.
Therein had laid the secret OF her
rebellion. Jacob was farmers son.
Little Louise had visions above the
monotony of country life. She wanted
color and briTliancy, and had finally
begxed 80 hard that she might go to
the city to work in one of the shops
that at last her parents, with many
misgivings, had consented.
Little Louise had not dreamed of
a prison like home OF this sort She
had lived always in the wide spaces,
with the blue sky overhead and the
long white roads leading tofard end
less vistas.
The supper in Cousin Agatha's
room was, however, a very coy az
fair
cts wonderful" said Cousin
Agatha, briskly, what a person, can DO
over a one-burner gas plate"
Little Louise was hungry, and it
was not until she finished her meal
that she spoke of the roses on the
table.
ssWhere did you get them?"
Cousin Agatha laughed. II was
wondering when you would notice
them. They are yours, my dear.
They came in big box, addressed to
Miss Louise Otis Perhaps its some

Charles would be there.
'I'll take supper down town to-
night" she said, casually, land let
you two have little chat alone, and
/ won't come up here when l get
back"
The dinner at the gay restaurant
with Whelpley Towne was like a
wonderful dream to little Louise. And
at the play afterward, she felt that
at last she had really found the prince,
for young Towne seemed really very
much in love.
Louise told him about the flowers
and the fruit which came to her
daily. He shrugged his shoulders.
''"I1l send you set of furs," he said,
land some pearls for those pretty
ears"
The alarm in Louise's eyes made
him change his tactics. Perhaps
you'd rather have candy" he said'

Who's jacob" asked Cousin
Agatha.
"He wants to marry me. He has
an automobile and nice home, but
won't"
Cousin Agatha shook her head

Mine was not. He was tied down by
RESPONSIBILITIES which made it impos
sible. All these years he has loved
me. and all these years he has been
too poor to marry. And now he's OLD
and broken down-and he comes here
each Sunday My dear-would you
mind if | sent him rose?"
Cousin Agatha was wiping hel
ewes, Little Louise kissed her i'm
pulsively.
The next day little Louise worked
as she had never worked before. She
came home at night with her head
throbbing and her ankles aching and
her eyes burning.
81 didn't eat any lunch,' she told
Cousin Agatha. 81 just couldn't -
was too tired
Cousin Agatha chatted while she
made the milk toast and broiled a
since of ham.
1T was a box of voilets today
she said.
do you mean that more flowers
cams?"
"Yes," said Cousin Agatha, land it
seems dreadful to spend so much on
flowers, when we need other things.
Fruit would be lot more sensible
And, as if some fairy had heard
her words, the next day it was fruit.
"Strawberries in March," Cousin
Agatha held up her hands.
1T can't be Jacob said Little
Louise.
GAS tomorrow is Sunday" Cousin
Agatha suggested, "how would it do
for me to make a strawberry short
cake, and invite Charles?"
Charles, it seemed, was the name of
Cousin Agatha's patient lover. He
came in shabby black coat. He
brought Cousin Agatha a tiny box
of chocolates.
Little Louise liked him very much.
She told him about the roses and the
violets and the fruit.
Some one," said old Charles, must
love you very much-to think so gen.
erously of you each day"
"Oh. love!' Little Louise shrugged
her shoulders. There's nobody to
love me but Jacob"
Then old Charles asked about
young Jacob, and Louise told him,
and old Charles said, ''It seems pity
to waste the love of man like that. I"
That night little Louise thought Of
the old lovers and their waiting. She
wondered if Jacob-but she put the
thought out of her mind. The man
she would marry must be different.
The next day she met man in
the store who dazzled her eyes. He
wore the right kind of clothes. and
his hair was fair and brushed back
from his forehead. He bought ribbon
from little Louise, and he consulted
her about the color. 1t was for his
sister, he said, and men never knew
about such things.
But they know when they see a
pretty girl" he remarked.
After that he bought ribbons often,
and, always. he talked to Louise.
And one day he asked her to go to
supper and to the play. At first
Louise refused, but he begged so
charmingly that at last she concented.
She did not tell Cousin Agatha.
1t was not easy to find an excuse,
but she selected an evening when old
