Ethel Fisher and Nora Doyle were
the two prettiest girls in Hopetown,
and Jim Scanlon was the richest young
bachelor. From this triangle a huge
variety of situations can be construct
ed.
The situation was complicated by
| the fact that Jim was girl-shy. Not a
woman-hater; afraid, little, and fear
full Of making the irrevocable choice
before he could make up his mind.
Jim had paid attention to both Nora
md Ethel. Nora Doyle was shy,
fluffy-haired little thing, with heart
of gold Ethel was a dashing brunette.
When Jim was with one he liked her
better; When he was with the other he
preferred the other.
"Why don't you get married, Jim?"
asked his scapegrace brother, Harry,
who had run down into the country
for a few days, and incidentally
touched" his brother for loan. "You
ought to be married for the credit of
the family"
II guess the family credit can take
care of ITSELF" answered Jim huffily,
for Harry had asked him the question
that had been bothering him a good
deal Of late.
Harry was entirely opposite to Jim
as regards character. The girls adOred
Harry. Scapegrace though he was, he
was a gentleman; they knew they
could trust him to the limit.

Fisher to become your wife, Jim," said

woman in the world
And Jim, looking wrct"hedly from
Ethels happy face to the srinning ono
of his brother, realized that it was not
so easy to tell her as he had thought
it would be.
He arrived home in Harry's wake,
raging. Nothing would satisfy him
but that Harry should go to Ethel and
at once confess the prank that he had
played. But Harry was adamantine.
"Jim, old man, it's for your own
good" he said. 'It's time you were
married; you like Ethel, you know, and
one day you'll come to me and thank
me for what have DONE"
"Get out of my house!" stormed Jim.
"From this moment you are no brother
Of mine. Confound you, it's another
girl I was thinking Of" he added.
It was, for now Nora Doyle began
to assume a very different aspect in
bis imagination. He knew that If ho
had any sense he would have proposed
to Nora long before.
But he could not tell Ethel. She
looked so happy, her manner vas SO
loving, her greeting so affectionate'
And sadly Jim came to the conclusion
that he would have to marry her.
Nora Doyle and he seemed always to
be meeting now. Ethel asked Jim that
their engagement should remain Sc
cret for the present; consequently
Nora suspected nothing. And Jim

solved to ask Ethel to marry him at
once. The sooner it was over, the
sooner he could learn resignation.
Ethel's manner had been little cer

her for two days. AS he entered the
garden of her house he heard her
voice, then a mans and, to his aston
ishlnent, it sounded like Harry's. The
next moment he had turned the corner
of the hedge and come upon Harry
holding Ethel in his arms.
He stood still, struck speechless1
with a mixture of wild relief and al
most ungovernable fury. The pair,
surprised, started apart; then Ethers
ringing laughter broke upon Jims
ears.
"You tell him, Harry" she said.
"We're engaged, old man." said Har

warily.
