Theres il fore by and because of all these signs her coif was the last word. Her complexion was arrived at hy the benzoic method. It was now seven ll months and twenty-one days since | | water had touched her face. make-up box took up the 'whole end | of a clothes closet, and her bills for | cosmetics, creams and other beanuti- { flers were greater than those of, her father for clothes. t Ly her devotéd parents had no | fault to find with Angela's tout ensem- i ble, nor the cost thereof, for she was I! vastly easy for all to look upon, and a | finished feast for the tired eyes of in- | dulgent parents. | And to all this Angela Burton was | wise. She had capitalized her appear { ance and knew it, More than once | it had brought her what she desired. | But now, and it was a tearful, almost | terrifying moment, Tomy Hampton, her old sweetheart, who had always | stood 80 in awe of her, was returned from Fiance, and in their first min- utes he was saying to her: { "No use, Angie! You've got to show me something besides good looks-- { You're a peacherino, all right, all | right, but I've been around some--I've geen all kinds of giris--and the girl | that Interests me now is the girl with ithe goods--and not dry goods, | either--" |. "Oh, 1 suppose that Lieutenant {| Hampton is going to marry money!" | retorted Angela scornfully. "No!" thundered Tommy, 'but if you don't, you'll soon be short of | grease to run that complexion of yours." She sprang to her feet in a rage. "Now that was pretty coarse work, Angle, but it's the honestto-God truth. 1 didn't start out to be a beast.

And they looked a good deal more like angels to me than you do. Angie, you and I are a century apart. I'm looking for a mate, not a | Piece of bric-a-brac for a corner what- { mot.. You won't do, Angie. You're just | scenery" Clapping her hands over her ears Angela sped up the stairs and Tommy took his hat and left. She was too angry for words, 3 one in the world had ever before told | her she was utterly useless. In order | to revive her self-respect and dry her | tears with bits of Absorbent cotton. she sat down before her mirror. Then her vitalizing sense of humor came to her rescue. "So you're scenery, Angie?' she mimicked to Per reflection. "Well, be didn't say you weren't Interesting scenery---oh, no, but he said a lot!" Gazing at herself intently and after a oment's thought, "No, we'll not de ce the scenery--it's all I'm traveling on, just now, but we'll show Mr. | Hampton--"" Angela was nobody's fool.

Any sured her father. Then she repaired to the kitchen and told her mother what she had dope, adding: "But it wouldn't be any more trouble to fix for two than one. Let's have Uncle Joab, too." And they called him. He in delighted. + Aggela was more to him than mere ly an only sister's child.

"Now dol! up a bit, mother, for my da, your old steady, likes it." who was to serve. to talk of the olden times, how they started in life, what the girls did and thé hardships of the mothers. The old men were charmed. They resent. ed it when the bell rang and a mes senger delivered a note to Angels, who slipped away to her own room to read if. . : "Monday evening and lonesome.

He started to write "love," but crossed it out and signed, "Resp'y, Tom." After Angela had her cry out she went and washed her face with water, then indited her reply: / "Tuesday, Busy Day. "Dear Mr. Hampton--Fine for youl I'm started on just such a career my. self. Uncle Joab is going to let me manage his farm next year.

And she did, sending it to the sta- erest-fallen Tommy was wondecing whether Anh might relent. - He fairly snatched the note from the hand of the messenger, aside from the crowd and read: "Dear Mr. Hampton: "No. But I never persuade and pay too.

I might add, that I am disposed to give an old soldier preference over other applicants, all other things being equal. Resp'y, "A. BURTON." Tom dismissed the messenger, der elding to answer the note in person.
