IRELAND AGAIN

AS he passed through the almost
uninhabited district he came upon a
cottage. He drew near, and, to his
horror, beheld a poor old woman
seated on a stone outside the hut,
with all her humble belongings gath
cred round her.
An eviction! Then what he had
read was true, after all He looked
at the resigned face of the old dame
seated, with her household goods
around her, alone in that desolate
land.
He must do something. Walking
up to her he tenderly placed five
pound note in her thin hand. He
noted, with some pleasure, the look
of amazement that grew in her eyes
as she realized this generosity.
'Ten me, what is the trouble,
mother?" he asked gently.
Thank We, koindly, sir! It's me
old man inside whitewashin' the
place from top to bottom!"

@Oh, down for awhile by the brook back there

and asked in anxious whisper, "Has-has the other

@You know-the ranchman's daughter-Connie's
Dakota friend

Dakota girl expect here this is Mary Chaplin
Didn't you understand that?"
Harmon shook his head. He was incapable of speech

Just then servant brought tidngs of dinner
Constance had placed the wild flowers the table

enormity of her oense and distinct rebuke to her
but the effort was lost
II knew you'd like them, Connie, Harmon said with
happy smile, 3and if Miss Chapin doesn't mind We'll
gather some fresh ones for you tomorrow
@There's nothing should enjoy MORE Miss Chapin
promptly replied
She had felt little chill in her hostess vicinity from

If Constance wasn't absurd about things, she
would remember that she had fairly urged her to be
nice this bachelor cousin and do all she could
make his little visit really enjoyable.
Curtis looked up. @Why not get this evening""
he suggested eagerly aTheres lot of and bowls
to be filled, and you could pick em easy not in the

"Its not pleasant to pick flowers in such heavy dew
as we're having these nights Constance interposed
pointedly.
The matter not referred to again until they had
spent hour after dinner watching the young and
the deep, starset sky; when Harmon, walking to the
edge of the steps, gazed ntenty down the curng road
beyond the open gate Then he turned, picked up
wrap, and handed it to the young girl sitting nearby
@Better put it on he said, and calmly added to the
Others Miss Chapin and going for strolas far

She took the wrap and followed him down the steps,
Then the thick hedge bordering the road hid them from
view

back in his chair and crossed foot the other

and had made her promise to be nice to him. But that
was no reason why she should absolutely monopoize

she exclaimed:

The name he said to himself, suited her precisely.
Miss Chapin,-good, old Massachusetts, family, that,

suggested dainty Dresden shepherdess, and the rough

Dakota cyclone she would undoubtedly bring with her

keeping eye Cousin Bert and his acquaint-

@Do you know where Cousin Bert is" she demanded,
"and Mary Chapin?"
aWhy-no," he said @Do you?"
They've gone OFT alone incoming IN the WoodS!"
There was something tragic in her attitude; her
words reminded him of cut steel. For moment he
said nothing. Then he sat down the terrace; and
when Constance turned and srode into the house she
left him swaying back and forth in joy unconfined.
TT hour later, just before eight O'clock when
Miss Chapn and Harmon returned to the house.

accentuated her picturesqueness.

He instantly started to do her bidding. When fairly
down the lawn he paused to discover disconsolae
