H*5R heart had danced all day to a tune on her lips--a love tnne, old-fashioned perhaps, but enchantingly coupled with the words which ran through her mind endlessly although she did not quite dare utter them. Aunt Janavice scowled upon love, scowled upon Jean, who was at that moment love's very expression, scowled upon the little chest Into which Jean had dropped a bit of carefully accomplished needlework. "Hope chest, Indeed ! 'Hopeless chest,' I call it," sneered Aunt Janavice. Therefore, Jean had not dared tell the old woman that Hugh Hartley had said to her that morning over the telephone: "Oh, Jean ! By the way, Jean I Are you going to be home this evening? If yon are I'd like to run over, rve something to tell you." V / Something to tell her! Of course, she knew what that was. He was going to ask her to marry him. As if she had not had "Yes" all ready and waiting for him this long time! She laughed at the idea. Dear Hugh! Dear, wonderful Hugh! No wonder she was happy. No wonder her heart danced and her lips sang, no wonder her eyes were full of tender dreams. A long, Jong day it had been,, though so Joyjtul;, hut now at least it was done and he would be here In twenty minutes. * " She had dressed In her prettiest frock of gold-colored cotton, which made her hair look like black satin ahd her eyes like pools into which June stars dipped. As she stood before her mirror she thought with intense gratitude and humble hope of the future. To love and be loved, she who had known no lovejn all her life, for Aunt Janavice had only taken her out of duty when her parents left her alone and unprovided for. and had no feeling for her other than that duty engendered. It was true she had tried to return every kindness Aunt Janavice had given her, and for several years now her earnings had been shared with the old woman. It was at the office she had met Hugh and she had begun to love him at once. But it had taken a whole year for him to love her, though that did not matter now. To have her own home-- and Hugh. Suddenly she swung away from the mirror and dropping on her knees before the hope cliest lifted the lid. All the little fine things she had accumulated In that year lay there breathing forth a scent of violet as of a promise. She caught up a knit dishcloth and pressed It to her lips. Then she closed the lid, arose . and ran downstairs and out upon the veranda. There was niooplight and the rambler rose was a mass of scarlet bloom. Roses and moonlight--and love! Perfection ! She sighed and sat down upon the step to wait for her lover. . The street was very still and very bright. She began to hum again that old love tune and then she saw h!m coming. Her heart burned and she put her hand to her breast. He was coming quickly with that brisk, sure step of his. She could see him, tall, In the moonlight. Wheh he reached the lilac bush he cut across the tiny grhss plot^aiyJ (.ca'ne. to her. "Oh I Here you are," he said. "Yes. Here I atf$* she replied. He snt down beside her and, taking oft his hat, 'smoothed back his blond hair. "Peach of a night," he murmured. Then he looked at her. -'•Isn't It, Jean, huh?" . "Wonderful," she murmured. . Hugh drew a long breath and thej sat in silence while the roses breathed perfume and the moonlight and the stillness wove their charm. "What, do you suppose Tve come to tell you?" Hugh asked. "Wliy--" Then she said the most ridiculous thing she could think of. laughing a ii'tle as she spoke. "You are going away!" . • "That's it.~-~ ~ ; ;*> -- The icy blast seeme^to"strike Je»0. She shivered, . tried to speak and failed. "I'm going away tomorrow," FJugh went on."I'm not kirked out I'm Just "leaving. Thai's what I came over to tell you tonight. I thought you'd -take as much .interest as anybody.** She was congealing into a motion less, numb thing. , "I'm going to New. York," Hugh «aid. "I know , a fellow, there. You see. Jean, they don't pay a man In Oifs oftloe and there is no chance to rise. Seniority rights, you know. Why. I'd have to wait until I was the age of old Culberson before I--1-^-" Hugh paused, knottiiig his lands and sturiiijr into the moonlit street: Jean stirred with % g*eat effort. . "l don't hlaiiip yon, t wouldn't--sfa-v she might have sent them flaming up in one wretched linen holocaust As it was she turned the key and one morning as she went to work she paused and dropped the key into the stream. Almost she wished she conld follow It. Aunt Janavice said all sorts of things. "So that Hartley fellow's gone away,<eh? Well, I guess you can live without hlui. I never thought he seemed veryyjnuch In earnest. You want to lookVout for a man whose eye6rows come close together that way. Inconstant, that's what It means. Come here from land knows where, stays a year and then away he goes again. I knew ail the time you were filling that chest, that you'd never need it on his account, anyway. Maybe after a while, of course, some other fellow will happen by." Jean, suffering, kept silence. But she drooped and into her eyes came a haunting sadness. Aunt Janavice said she looked as if she had the "pip." Then one rainy evening as she ait • trying to read--rshe could no longer do stitchery, poor child--while Aunt Janavice dozed behind a pretense of scanning the evening paper, there came a snatch at the doorbell. Aunt Janavice went and came back with a letter--special delivery. "Who's It from?" the old woman asked. That was what Jean was wondering. She tore it open end saw Ms name! Suddenly she was crying oat with such a ring in her voice: "Hugh's f. got the best job ever was and he wants me to marry him; he wants to come back and be married right away. He wanted to ask me before he went away, but he wasn't sure and he didnt earn enough here to get married on--oh. Aunt Janavice I" She flung her arms about the old woman'i unwilling form and kissed her. Ten minutes later Jean was running through the rain to the post office to get there before it closed. She had written a letter, the merest scribble-- "I'm so glad. Come. 1 love you. I'm ready." The hopeless chest had changed its name at last. If I were you;" she sal 1 feebly. I.iitet", hours later, lay awake, her tears 'exhausted,. ;n a d:ize of misery, while the mo.inlight lay. In a brrad bar of silver on the worn varpet and the roves sen* their sweetness in over the sill of hor open window. Tomorrow he was g-ing away. To-_ morrow she must goon with her work Just as if--as if there were no such things as broken hearts and hopeless chests-- The poor little hopeless chest! If Its contents had not been so Imbued with memory, so sacredly inviolable. Ingenious Scheme to End Visits From Bore A laughable story is ascribed to the artist and wit, Oliver llerford, by his associate, Edward Simmons, the painter, as recalled by a writer in the Kan sas City Star. One day while Simmons was enjoying i ^ agreeable call at Ilerford's studio their conversation was interrupted by a peculiar knocking at the door--three loud peremptory knocks at Intervals of a second or two and then two more In quick succession, a ITerfurd at otice put hid linger on his lip and motioned to his caller t> be perfectly quiet. Neither man spoke or stirred while the curious knock was repeated. Then they heard the retreating footsteps of the knocker passing down the ball. Then Herford relaxed his attitude of silent tension and smiled. "That was Blank." he said, "a thoroughly good and well-meaniag fellow, but a most frightful bore. I've stood all the calls from him I could. So i told him that I have given special knocks to all my intimate friends, in order that I might know when they called and let them In at times when I should be unwilling to be disturbed by less congenial callers. Blank was saying only the other night that 1 must have been out a good d°al lately. He hasn't got In to see me since 1 assigned hint his knock!" .
