OF STERLING MERIT
BY MARY RUHL.

1t seemed like a dream to Arthur
Leasing to be back again at Squire
Brenner's house that afternoon in
early May.
The placid New England country,
green with young grass, the apple
trees in blossom, the well remembered
scenes came back so wildly to his
remembrance. 1t was four years
since he had left Wakefield, to make
his way in the world, and now. at the
age of twenty-six, he was back, Bren-
ners guest, and already with an es-
tablished position in the city.
1t was an open secret that he had
come back to ask Madge to be his
wife. They were old friends. She
had written to him sometimes, and
there was always a note of intimacy
in her letters. 1t had been an idyllic
love affair, though no word had been
spoken.
And they received him like an old
friend. When Madge shook hands
with him he felt the same subtle
touch Of sympathy. And Edith, her
sister, smiled as she greeted him.
She seemed to know; everybody knew
the purpose Of his return during that
week that he was to be the guest Of
his fathers oldest friend.
Squire Bremen alluded tactfully to
the impending engagement as they
strolled under the big chestnut trees
together.
THE man who gets Madge will be
a lucky fellow" he said. "She is
girl Of sterling merit. And she will
inherit good deal of money" Then
he turned suddenly and shook hands
with the young fellow.
In the old days he and Leslie Carter
had been rivals for Madge. Leslie
had borne no malice when his suit
was gently declined Leasing had
hardly expected to see Carter there,
but he seemed to be on intimate
terms with the family. He, too, was
a weekend guest at the Bremen
home.
During dinner Leasing noticed with
touch Of the old jealousy that Car
ter seemed TO have established a
brotherly relationship with the girls.
And this was all that was needed to
kindle the young mans determine
ton. He would ask Madge that night:
The opportunity was easily arrived
at. for the squire retired to his IL
brary, and Mrs. Bremen nodded over
her sewing. The girls and Carter had

lingering behind to settle Mrs. Bren-

needles in her lap. Then he hurried
out
Madge was waiting for him! That
was a blunt way of putting it, and
yet he knew that the same instinct
of understanding which had always
bound them together had sent her
alone to that arbor beneath the chest

only see her white dress shining He
went softly toward her.
Dearest" he whispered, taking her
by the hands, Il love you. viii you

YES" she whispered, and pressed
her lips to his. And then he found
himself looking into Edith's dark eyes.
1t was well for his training that
he had been schooled in a difficult
world. He did not start or betray
himself. He linked her arm through
his and they started back toward the
house together
And, at the door, stood Madge and
Carter.
