HOW A GIRL DROVE AWAY A WORTHY LOVER AND WAS SORRY. 00 00 OO 00 “If I go, Rosalie,” Harry Reynolds said, “remember that I shall not re- turn.” He made a step toward her and continued, “Have you not a word for me, Rosalie?” “I do not think of anything further that I wish to say,” she responded coldly. Harry gazed at her a moment and then rushed from the room. “Cold hearted, selfish girl!" he ex- claimed. For a few seconds after his departure Rosalie retained her indifierent posiâ€" tion, but all her senses were alive to catch his lightest movement. Of course he would return. and when he behaved properly and asked her pardon and submissively he should have it, but to be lectured and scolded in that man- ner was more than she would bear. In vain did she listen. An hour, then two, then three hours passed by, and sick at heart Rosalie went up to her room and cried herself to sleep. losalie was warm hearted and quick tempered. but was easily nppcuscd. She was also passionately fond of ad- miration and quite as much bent on having her own way as was good for her. These faults, however. did not prevent the village beans from being at her disposal, and hitherto she bud been nearly impartial in her treatment of them, having no mind to give up the general homage by fixing upon one. But lately there had been a differ- ence in her feelings. She had ac- knowledged there was a charm in Har- ry Reynolds’ attentions such as she had never found in any other. A thrill new and delicious went through her when their eyes met, and she read the admiration which he vainly tried to repress. IluriE; bud a high ideal of womanly excellence which Rosalie by no means came up to, but in spite of her frivolitics and his own misgiv- ings they were frequently together and fast verging toward an explanation when that destiny which appears to delight in the annoyance of lovers in- troduccd an element of discord into their happiness. Mr. Clarence Dalton came up from the city on a visit to his uncle. He was handsome, ugrc‘ublc, wealthy and noted for the careful elegance of his attire. The girls were enchanted with him. and Rosalie alone regarded him with seeming iui'iiffcrcncc. She said to herself with virtuous resolution. she must be careful now. llurry Iiiight be wounded if she received attentions from such a lion. Happy for her bad this prudent dis- position lnstcd. But the old spirit came up after awhile. She was entire- ly accustomed to i‘1uccuing it in her little world, and llL‘l‘ vanity was piqued that Mr. Dalton did not at all sccm Struck by 1101' chm-ms. It was quite :1 Christian duty to give 311'. Dalton a lesson in good taste. So by a few little feminine lures. such :18 :1 pretty girl well knows how to practice. he was attracted to her side, and once there he seemed exceedingly well pleased to Stay. Harry could endure it no longer and in the interview whose close we have portrayed determined to “put his for- tune to the touch to win or lose it all." Conscious of her power, indignant, with some justice, that he should as- sume to dictate her conduct when he had never openly declared his love, R0- salie had responded by a series of flip- pant, exuspcrating little speeches which drove Harry almost to despair. 00 0O Scalds and She intended to relcnt in time, but pride, vanity and a certain triumph in knowing that his whole manly heart was 11ers to play with at will wrought sad mischief. Rosalie had no doubt that Harry would come the next evening as usual and all could easily be made right again. But the evening came and went and no Hurry. What could it mean? Surely he loved her. and if so he could not stay away. She would wait pa- tiently since it was all that she could do. The next evening Mr. Dalton called, but Rosalie sent down word that she was ill and asked to be excused. Yet as night after night went by and Hur- ry did not return her submissive mood changed. She would show’ Mr. Hurry Reynolds that she was not suffering from the withdrawal of his presence. There were other people quite delight- ed to be in her company. The next time Mr. Dalton cnmc she did not decline to see llllll. but mmc down c.1131 was as friendly and pleasant as c. liltl be desired. The young man noticed it lllOT'l‘ von only thou:.:‘.‘2tful- moss in hci' umnncr than ho lmd liitlr erto observed and wondered what might be the cause. l‘oor Harry’s state meanwhile was far from enviable. For the first 24 hours he maintained a. fierce resent- ment. But as the days came and went ho softened little by little until every 1 . clothing his cycs l't,‘.\'it‘il upon the face, I ! sood in his path, her cheeks pallid, W i l"! K determination seized him to seek Ito- salie apd try to cfface the memory of his previous sternness. Toward evening he wended his way to her home with the sweetest anticipa- tions of reconciliation and affection. With every step she seemed to grow lovelier and dearer than before. But as he neared the gate a sight met his eyes which speedily cooled down the fervid tones of his fancy painting. It was Mr. Dalton assisting Rosalie to dismount from her horse. The exercise had bt’ought a bright flush to her cheek, and she was fairly dazzlin". She per- ceived Harry in time to bestow on hill: :1 very distant bow and then tumed, with added empressment, to her com- panion. Harry changed his intentions at once, walked by the house in the most leisurely and indifferent manner and proceeded to call upon that obnox- ious Nellie Kellis, whom Rosalie re- garded so superciliously. Mr. Dalton meanwhile found his af- fairs in a somewhat perplexing state. Flirtation had been since his eleventh year the element in which he delight- ed to exist. Matrimony with its cares and responsibilities was to him the most distant of prospects and must of- fer cxtrn inducements to make him for~ sake his freedom. Now, however, he began to feel himself very seriously in- terested in a person who had not one claim to fashion, family or fortuneâ€"a little village girl who wore dresses of her own fitting and made all the pies and cakes that appeared on her table. Whether she really coral for him or re- garded him as a friend or simply as an admirer was impossible to say. Other people were not slow in draw- ing their conclusions, and before three weeks were over the village authori- tics in such casds declared it would be a match. Harry could not in his heart deny the reasonableness of their predictions. He had the grief of believing that his wishes, hopes and affections were noth- ing to Rosalie. th had he anything but his own harshness to blame for the change? He was miserable, but his own set had caused the misery. Mr. Dalton had a mother living, a stately lady of some forty odd years, well preserved and slender of society. Clarence was her only boy and the object of a great many ambitious dreams. The marriage which looked to her so misty and far away was to her :1 very near reality. She had se- lected a girl of his rank for a wife, when, 10, there came a rumor that struck her to the heart. Could it be that Clarence was about to make a fool of himself? She wrote a letter to her son in which she expressed per- fcct confidence in his discretion and her assurance that he would do both. lug foolish or imprudent, Mr. Cliirciicc's brow as'hc read the maternal cffusiou was clouded with thought. Where, in the name of com- mon sense, could there be any danger in :1. marriage with such :1 charming girl as Rosalie Amos? As for the den. gcr of her heart, he wished he were a little surer of it. He felt at that tiioincut that his own was in a much more perilous position than here. As Hurry wnlkod that afternoon along the broad road leading from his house ho was attracted by almost in- urticulutc groans. and looking :1 few yards into the distance he saw a sense- loss form lying in his path. while a mud horse dashed furiously down the road. As ho di'cw nearer lie i'ccoguizcd the tlft‘ir, tasteful riding suit which he had seen Imltou wear so oftcn 1ict'orc. Ami passing from the [mic as death. of the unconscious uiim.

Rest and good nursing alone were needed. Harry quietly stole away and resum- ed his walk.
