phy- bique enabled her thoroughly to enjoy no wonder that on her arrival in the hinjal- ayas a bride of three mootae mary diana martland speedily took poueeaion of every maleheait in the hill quarter and that even tbe women could find no fault in her in her impulsiveness and desire to endear herqcu to her huebanda frienda this bright young oreatnre had qnwitttugly made havoo of one mans heart

had taken their depasture the lady wae lounging baofc in a canvas bam- boo framed chair fanning herself with a broad brimmed straw hat and looking in the opinion of dick absolutely adorable oh tho matter is simple enough i dont oare about leaving at present and i know howard would like to see his people ao i shall give up my turn to him i never felt better fa my life the olimate suits me and after all one owes a duty to onee country and theres tha extra pay you know and pray sbo said how long have yon held these ultra patriotic and at the bame time mot praiseworthy oommeroit viewfl 7 for

that i shall change my mind and go to eogland you are wrong i was never so happy in my life c a pannabecker miu street aoton p s all the wnts of people in town will also receive best attention woman like myself it wo aid not be impos sible for you to transfer your homage t you play with mo it is a oruel jest you know that i think the world does not oontaiu your equal but if it does i would marry her to morrow aiwsjb provided that i oould win her of course but why talk thus t i oholl never meet the woman that can take your place two queens cannot occupy one throne dethrone vabhu then and set up esther in her place this ih not fooling dick i like you too wtll for ilmt mow linten i want to make jou hppj and i think i can i have a sister ao like me that we can scarcely be t d upart now why not go to eogland aitd marry her ah yes and be your brother he said in a tone of bitterness this in the old etory brought up to data all very proper and patuio out not good enough for me it is not for me to atempt to force my sinter on any map indeed she does not need it and would be forious at tbo mere idea forgtt what i have said we will talk aboqt something else give me yotfr opinion on my new

thats my sister whose hand you just now declined so cavalierly fortunate ly for ber you are not tbe only man in the world he threw himself into a chair and with bis handkerchief removed the perspiration that had gathered on his brow you feel better now launhed mrs martland upon ray word yon looked bo savage just now that it quite frightened me boyou wont have me for a sister wont i you see if i dont but is your sister free so far as i know bhe was when i left england there is only one thing about your ba tor i regret i wish ber name werediana when i hear charlie call you dl it seems as though no other name would fit you aud your enter is your double even in this respect aleo i think yon may be happy her name as well aa mine is diana i am mary diana and ehe is diana mary a whim of our father he said the twins should start fair bo gave us tbe same names but in different order really what a sensible man your father must bet i thall oetttinly oall ber di i hate every other name arent you making the pace rather too hot at starting captain diok besides yon must own your wife before you oan name her i shall ttirt fqr england tomorrow but consider tbe duty you owe to your country captain dick oh thats tommyrot 1 what and then tbe extra pay you will sacrifice ob bother the pay i i don t oare a red cent it i lose it all i as 1 ktmiow and here are yon ao happy let mo speak frankly captain diok you aetm to me to be very restless and unsettled now tke my advice go over ti england and seek a wife oat of the many nice girli yon will meet there we will welcome her with open arms your advioe is well meant mrs mart- land said diok in a gloomy tone but i shall never marry is the picture of onr married life so very uninviting then aa to have turned yon into a misogynist now charlie aud i had been flattering ourselves that we were snob patterns ot conjugal felicity that yon would rush off to england and at the first opportunity follow onr exam ple thats just it its your doing well of all the paradoxical unreason able because yon see all tbe happiness of tbe married state yon have made op your mind to keep single do you mean to say that of all tbe women la the world you have never seen one that yon would oare to marry v i did not say that mrs martland tbire iaonajtomftnjn tbe world i would but loo gladly make my wife but she is as nnattainable as though she did not exist nothing bnt the occurence of an incident which may god forbid would render suoh a consummation possible i never meant to say this to you mrs martland bat having gone so far i will go

you will banish me forever even were yon tbe wife of my bitterest foe instead of my dearest friend x should knew better than to pursue yon with a passion as hopeless aa ll would be base yon whom i
