He looked OF across the river and
drummed his heel against the logs.
"Elsie," he went on, she did not send

A MARCH MISTAKE.
By JENNIE O. LOIZEAUx.

Elsie. John Fielding is waiting fol
you downstairs"
Elsie looked up to see her mother ir
the door. and dropped the warm CLOAK
she was about to put on. She was q
quiet. gentle girl, 30 unassuming that
her dark prettiness was more unnoticed
than it deserved to be. 1t had been
long since John had come to see her In
the old friendly fashion of the time be-
fore Rose Isle moved to their town
The girl gave another touch to her
smooth hair. Her mother stood watch
ing her and then remarked:
Mrs. Dent told me today that John
and Rose have been out for over a
month. He has just come home. If q
quarrel with Rose Is all that sends him
to you I should think that" Elsie
wheeled impatiently.
Mother, John and have always been
good friends and I shall not question
any motive that brings him to see me.
I shall always be the same to him. You
can't expect a man SO deeply In love as
he is with Rose to be regular in his
attention to his girl friends. And no
one could help loving q beauty like Rose.
She's good, too"
Elsie greeted John as II she had seen
him yesterday, and soothed his evidently
overwrought mood with a gentle. half
laughing tact. He was tall and blonde
with fine blue eyes which tonight were
clouded. and his face was little care
worn. Sometimes he gave random an
swers as IL he had not heard what she
said. After a half uneasy hour of the
March twilight he turned to her In awk-
ward masculine gratitude for her pa
thence with him.
Elsie. am I keeping you in? have
not thought to ask II you were going
anywhere She smiled and bethought
herself that inaction was not good In
his present mood.
IT was going for q walk and can go
as we'll another time. I was going quite
by myself. You know I am never
afraid
mo, I never knew you to be afraid
from the time We were childen at school
until now. I have always liked you for
thst. But would you mind letting me
go with you for the walk? We used to
like pushing the wind together. Shall
we go?'
Elsie put on her cloak and little red
cap and the two young people started
away.
Rose lived not far from them. and as
they passed the house both could not
avoid what they saw. From the broad
front window the light streamed bright
"; the shades were not drawn Rose
sat at the piano, and over her In rapt
attention stood Norman Cady. John al
most dragged Elsie past. though he said
He did not know that he
gripped her arm till It hurt. and that
he was walking ut pace that would
have put . less healthy girl than Elsie
utterly out of breath.
II was q raw night with q sharp wind;
the moon was high and cold. and the
sky was streaked with flying clouds. The
road was good and they walked on and
On. out Of the town and along the river
road. The girl was unwilling TO disturb
her companion's silent mood. and swung
gladly beside him At length they
reached the boathouse and . great Pile
Of rough luGD in sheltered corner. John

content to be with her. And % she
waited A. she waited her hfteen-year-
old brother called distressedly from his
room.
Sis! For goodness sake get my good
coat from tho closet in the hallI I'm
goin' to be late to that party" Elsie
went to the dark closet and emerged
with O coat. She knocked at his door.
"Oh. come on IN and help mo with this
fool tie! Great snakes! II you haven't
got tho wrong coat! Just like q grill
Haven't worn that old thing since w1ns
teri" He snatched 1t from her impa-
tiently upside down. A letter fell from
the pocket.
Elsie picked It up and as she glanced
at the address her face went white.
Terry! what is this!"
At the sound Of her voice he turned to
look. and then stood stricken with tardy
penitence. 1t was addressed to John
Copeland. and in the lower left corner
was inscribed in Roses hand. Kind
ness of Terry Terry stared and
struggled with the refractory tie.
"A pretty mess! Rose gave mo that
months ago. and I promised to take ie
straight to John. And like . fool for
goti" Then he cheer up. well. they're

strange brightness Of his sisters eyes.
at the extreme whiteness Of her faos.
Gee, Not even Rose can touch you
for looks, Sis! don't wonder that
john" She turned from him a. Johns
whistle sounded below. She still held
the letter.
IT shall give It to John. It II his.
shall tell him you forgot. Il"
Then she went down to John
He sat contentedly on the porch with
his hat pushed back on his fair head.
He looked careless and happy enough.
At her approach he rose.
Ready, sister, Her smile was odd
and she held the letter out to him She
spoke as II she had been running:
John, take this into the parlof and
read II. No one IL there I told you
there was q mistake. It u to you from
Rose. She gave It to Terry and he for

hard. Then he went from her with an
