To either insult lady by declining the oilei

into an engagement and perhaps marriage
against his own inclinations were alternatives
painful to contemplate
Then Annie was 90 be there-the pretty
bright little Widow Floyd-whom he had Tor
two wears past esteemed and admired ana ne
did not desire to have that esteem lessened oy

other men, and perhaps to himself
If Annie were to propose to him he would
yes. he would refuse herl And as to his pro
posing to her. as some people seemed to think
he ought to do-well, il was no business OIL
theirs. and he had not yet in those two years
quite made up his mind upon the subject.
In any event. he would not go to this ball
that was decided He would feign sickness, or
go away on pretended business trip; or bet
ter still he would pay visit to his Grand
Aunt Mallet at that lonesome farm house OF
Raccoon up i'm the Green country hills, only
two hours railroad ride from the city.
He had not seen the old lady in ten years,
and. though il was doubtful whether she would
appreciate the attention, 1t could do no haim

And, always prompt to act upon resolve,
Mr.. Alfred BARLEY next day-the day OF the
ball-found himself alighting from the tram

This man used to know the old lady, and
wouldn't mind stopping there for a bit OF chat
And as they drove along the horrible clayey
road Mr. Cobb having learned all he could OF
his companions history, generously enlightened
Mr. BARLEY as to his own.
Especially did he dwell with pardonable
pride upon the fact of his having been three
times married, adding confidently that he was
now on the lookout for fourth helpmate, nut
that single wimmen was mighty skeerce IN
that part O. the country
