watching the carriage angrily.

/ she had thrown his flowers away.
Pink carnations He had BOUGHT
them for her . few hours ago with
what feelings Of love and Of pride In
her beauty; and now--once more
they were Ct enmity and she had
shown everyone how little she cared.
His flowers were In the street.
He turned unsteadily ct the Cross
Ing and started TOWARD tham- to
gather them up, out from under the
passing wheels, ~ though they were
human and could suffer. But some
one else was before him. He heard
little gasping cry Of delight and
figure stopped over the fallen now
ers and rose mp with the whole
bunch clasped eagerly to her breast,
He saw her face for q momsnt-the
face Of q pale girl. fiowerstarved-
and then she went on and was lost
IN the crowd.
Duncan Lane passedson his way IN
altered mood, brushing angrily ~ an
Irritating moisture that made his
eyes burn.
"Gwendolen has had the world and
the fullness thereof all her life." he
said to himself 1T II easy for her
to throw things away"
Two days later he was going back
to the beautiful apartments which
had once been . pleasure to him and
which had now grown to be bitter
ness of spirit. In the elevator was
the quiet girl who had room. or
rooms, on some ono Of the floors
above him. He had seen her many
times-every day, almost-but he had
never really noticed her. He would
not have noticed her now, perhaps,
but that q sudden jerk of the elevator
almost threw her down and a. he
caught her arm he saw the half-with-
) cred pink carnation pinned to the
bosom OF her black dress,
Then he remembered. She had run
out into the street to pick up the
flowers his love had thrown away
"You are sure you are not hurt3"
he inquired anxiously.
She was not hurt in the least, she
said--it had been the merest little
Jar. The trining accident had made
him feel that he had right to speak
to her.
II see that you love flowers he
said, looking at the forlorn carna-
ton. Her face flushed rosy red.
"Yes-I--I found this in the street.
she said. with childish candof. II
couldn't have Afforded to buy them"
The elevator had gone past his.
floor. Now It went past hers and.
sped up higher.
WAS this one air" he found time
to ask ~ the elevator paused under
the roof. She answered him quite
seriously.
"Oh, no-there was . whole, great,
generous bunch Of them. have them
in water IN my room. But you know
Thought might allow myself just
one every day, to wear while was at
work. It keeps things from seeming,
$3.50 Rordid, you know"
.Ahd when they wither you viii,
have to throw them away" be said.
6ho turned on him with amaze
ment-
awhy, I wouldn't dream Of such q
thing she cried. II shall put them
away In my dtsk and keep them al'
ways. They'll make pleasant mem
DRY, you know-and pleasant memo
ries are not % abundant that one
can afford to throw them away"
Down IN his own beautiful rooms
Duncan Lane leaned hack In an easy
chair and looked at the carnation ~
ing on the table. A letter lay beside
it-A letter that had been awaiting
his coming,
With An impatient sigh he opened
the letter ana read:
well, you unreasonable crsature,l
II you have sulked suf1ciently ana
are duly sorry you may come up TO-
morrow evsning and take mo 70 the
theater and TO 8 supper at Tsretti'D.
