And Mr. Manchester, who was more orthodox, . and who had done nothing all day but build air-castles, had denounced her ac­ cordingly. : Such a rain as it wast Nowhere can J^ore triumphant deluges oome out of aiffh skies than in the Traverse region. The bucketsful that were poured in great swashing sheets came from such «n altitude that one's breath was fairly itashed out of one's body if caught in a Imdden gust round a corner. Summering!

Seated in the comfortable hotel of- tce he had done nothing all this day ut watch through the streaming win­ dows the pelted and drenched street. The bulk of the tourist guests had gone #4gn a steamer excursion to Mackinaw /fbe night before. » - He had been invited to join this party to the island, but after the adroit dis­ covery that Annie Shepherd had de­ clined going he had also declined. His treasons for so doing were patent to ipvery one but himself. Then had followed that little episode #f his invitation to Iter to join him in Ml walk next day. Thi-» had been liasti- whispered iu the hall on parting at Sight, and accepted with a nod and a •mile. It was to be to a wood near by Where a free, clear spring gushed and ' lioared down a black-earthed declivity. ft was one of the dampest, mossiest - Spots in the whole region. He had ence found a bear's fresh track on the moss, and had christened it therefore - *Board of Trade Glen." r • But the rain had put a provoking ^fitop to this plan. - And "Miss Shepherd " mad capped the peak of his disgust by pleading "headache* as a reason for keeping out of sight all day, he having gelled very early in the afternoon. - Yet tfcete she went, or his eyea had v:lotft^nircunning! It is true flrasawas a lnttjn the rain, but none in the wind. J&d with a -ssadash®, what could tempi her out? r ' Too ill to see him, ami yet well enough fc> brave this tempest! She went down the steps clad in a gossamer, and with her umbrella up-- an umbrella big enough for two.

And watch­ ing and mentally taking in all the fine points. he kept up a scratching fixe of ejaculation: "She'll get her death-cold." . " *Was there ever such an unreasoning, •.̂ Snprognoeticftbie creature as she?" She disappeared, fluttering like a • loose-sailed pirate craft round the cor­ ner. ' ; He knew just al>out her course when fce saw lifer turn to the right and bend ^iterseif to meet the blast, which was di- fieetiy in her face. • He rallied bis senses as he lost sight pt her. Bang into his chair went the „ book lie had not even pretended to fead; up the stairs, two steps at a time, lie sprang, arid presently returned in his Edinburg great coat, and leisurely puf­ fing a newly lighted cigar. A good observer would have noted .. SB hour before that the weather was likely to clear. There was a pale, yel­ low streak in the north, and a tendency |o lift and take flight on the part of the clouds. These signs were at the bot­ tom of Miss Shepherd's venture, but Mr. Manchester's perceptions had been too long dulled by his native smokes for ftiim to have detected the imminent Hlbitnge. Consequently he was greatly aston- Ifthed when, upon stepping along the meraiida and spreading his umbrella, 'fee found the rain had entirely oeased. As his friends well knew, foremost jpnongthe things he hated--there was a , leng string of foremost*--was an um- Ifrdla. So, on finding he did not need down tjy wet every! . . . . I t s m M t o f t h e were teatiag sloSg the uhor* and of the Norway jSaes/btack with wet but unrumpled, that cloihed the land. He gave up his cigar at once as im­ practicable. and flung it away. He was in sight of the will-o'-ihe-wiap, for she not offering as great a balk of resist­ ance as hinriU, had got on famously against the opposing foroes. She had shut her umbrella, and as she eosld not keep her gossamer with­ in any deoorous lnnits she looked very muoh like a pedestrian balloon, and Manchester laughed to himself at the way the elements dared to trifle with her grace. A little refrain buret out in his head. I ahoald odl her--I rhoald name her. Hamadryad of the -- Cttoehwor It was inglorious as to rhyme or measure, but utilitarian as to quality, as befitted a commercial man. Now he puts forth his'muscle. He left off walking--he strode. She was flapping along the beach in advance with a streaming blue veil out for a pennon. But die did keep her feet ad­ mirably. Diana couldn't have done better if she had been forced into pet- tiooats. Still he gained upon her sensibly. He found superabundant zest in some­ thing. Oeone? Lung expansion ? Or was it the tantalising, never twice-alike woman who eluded while she led--the woman with "less common sense than any he had ever known ?" Zest there was, at any rate, that brought a ruddv color to his face and cleared away the discontent of the morning from his spirits. He had quite overtaken her before knew of the pursuit. "Let me carry that umbrella," he said, without preface. "If you please--it holds several pounds of water and I am tired of it." "I did not start until the rain was over"--an accent of self-righteous com­ placence on the personal pronoun. "1 was out just in time for the final dash," and she delivered over to him her water-soaked burden. He shook it out, refolded it, twisted it into as close compass as possible, but­ toned it, and then used it as a cane. "Ja this the way to Board-of-Trade Glen?" she asked, with mischievous glance. "Quite the opposite--entirely oppo­ site. But-shall we go there?"halting and half eager to carry out his first purpose. "O no. I think I prefer the open beach. It would be like a stroll under a street-sprinkler to walk in the woods now." "How is the headache. Miss Shep- hesd?" moving along gravely after this rebuff. A sudden expression swept over her face that looked like gnilt. He directly felt a suspicion, half angry, half help­ less, that he had been put off all day irom seeing her by a mere hackneyed plea--a sort of feminine professional escape. Before she could answer, he added: "O, it has served its purpOM, probably, and died, like any other ephemera." To have him orabbed usually amused Misa Shepherd; to haye him ironical frose her into indifference; but this direct assumption that she had been ahammi^g gave her an unwonted sense of pain. The truth was, she had waked in the morning with the headache, and bad Bent him a message to that effect when lie had desired to see her at an unreas­ onably early hour. But it had passed off, and she had quite forgotten that it ever had been. "Do you think a headache part of my stock in trade?" she asked with high color. "Oh, no;, forgive me; of course I don't. If I did think that it would be to class you with all other women in that particular. And in no particular are you like any other woman." That was making amends with a ven- gence. Silence followed the speech. "Isn't this too much effort for you, Miss Shepherd--this battle with the wind ?" after a pause. "Oh, no; I like it." "But 1f you were to take my arm I am sure it would steady you until we get in the lee of that wood; then it will be easier." "I do very well alone, thank you." "H'm-m!" "Is this a favorite promenade, Miss Shepherd? I should think it might be fine exercise to walk here when the sand is deep and dry. It must come over one's shoe tops, and is as unstable as--a woman's temper," "Is that your strongest simile, Mr. Manchester?" MI do not think of anything at pres­ ent that could strengthen it. "I do walk here frequently. Now and then I meet a stray Indian woman. Ton have noticed the graoe of these squaws? It comes from their prefer­ ence for the sand as a promenade. But they generally carry a basket of fish or a pappoose 60 their shoulders to effect a proper balance." "They are hideous. They dost walk --they plow." "Try the beach some day yourself, Mr. Manchester, and see how easy it is to be graceful." "It u easy, now, at least," he said, significantly glancing at her, really brimming over with compliment qpd anrini* to get below the tart crust of her mood into the lurking places of her sweeter humor. She ignored him. She halted now, tracing the faint ridges in the sand, wbere each outgo­ ing waves left the record of its jour- nev. "They are all aspiring." she said. "But one washes out the trace of the other with as little mercy as men show to the work of their fellow-men«" "If the shore line were always the same this fresh, buoyant lake would be a stagnant pool. We shonlcT all die of it Better the stirring and rubbing out than the standing still. Aren't the new wave marks as graceful aa the old?" "Perhaps." This half-satirical sparring was one of their customs." She seemed specially to delight in it. He was always glanc­ ing off into personalities--her person­ ality--but she liked to reflect, and to say perverse tilings. _ " Jnst then a long-reaching swash came boldly up and crawled all about her feet.. Thanks to the stout boots she got away with little wetting. But Man­ chester was distressed. "Tour feet are wet, Miss Shepherd." "On the outside--ree." "Be reasonable. The water must ... if sea* oss •!&!$ lO'Wadife.1* '̂ ' Oh, how she tantalised and vested him. -Really," in a half injured tooê "they arê fewwtaughly ̂ made any futther adrasoe.

I should suppose that because I wanted to carry it I couldn't have had! it on any terms." ..., "Oh, that is easily explained. Ton did not 1cant to carry it---it was merely a stress of politeness that impelled you to ask to do it. If you had really craved the pleasure of course you couldn't have had it." "I hate an umbrella," he answered with vehemence. "You can have it back, Miss Shepherd. It will serve at support instead of my arm." "I get on very weli without either." No sooner was this uttered than a sudden whim on the part of the storm sent the rain pouring down upon them. It was a retiring salaam--an etfnsive.au revoir. There was a moment's grim satisfac­ tion to Manchester in seeing the water dashed into her defenseless face. He would have felt thoroughly justified In leaving her to get the full force of it u long as it should last. lint pity, tenderness quickly suc­ ceeded. With great difficulty he opened th« umbrella, took her hand with firmness, drew it closely within his arm, and sheltered her as best he could. A group of dwarf pines was near, a little back from the beach in the sand. -He drew her toward them, and they proved an excellent barrier against the storm. It was comparatively calm there, but she was forced to stand very close to him to avoid the deluge. He looked down into her glowing face. It did not seem at all to him as it either of then: lacked good sense in be­ ing there. It was delightful, blissful. "Would you have I een us generous to me, he paid, bending down to her, "if you had had the umbrella and I had been trying by every means to pick a quarrel with you?"* "Quarrel?" She lifted her eyes in anrpriaed queer tion a moment, but dropped them at once with a vivid blush. She met some­ thing in his, which were at too close range to be evaded, that made her heart l»eat terribly. But she rallied. - "I never quarrel. It is yon who dis­ tract me always, and because, I am not d o c i l e , y o u -- , < -US: There was no escape, no room what­ ever for coquetry. To turn to the one side was to be drenched, to turn to the other was to be almost within his arma. She was at a tremendous disadvan­ tage. She wanted to laugh, but, in­ stead,. a little tremor went over her ohin, and she began to cry. How he comforted her, how he soothed her let the umbrella tell, for it hid them away from all observers until her self-control was quite restored. When he lifted it again to take a peep at the prospect without she was smil­ ing. "Rival showers," he said with a spark of malice. The spark kindled no resentment. She would not seem to hear. "Do yoa hate thin umbrella?" was her adroit question to turn the subject. Obscuration again, caused by the umbrella's sinking once more over their heads. Standing in the rain for a length of time may have romantic elements in it, but can never be wholly without anx­ iety or discomfort. Manchester liked one feature of it--the proximity. But however kindly the umbrella had lent itself to their purpose it had failed to keep then dry. So they started homeward, arm in arm, as they had not come. He was tender, 8he compliant. "How much sweeter a woman is who has been vanquished than one born tractable," thought the victor. The wind was now at their backs and helped to speed them along. It must have had a sense of the ludicrous about it, too, for it suddenly got under the umbrella, and almost carried it out of Manchester's hands. The handle would stay with him; the top would not. It made a complete revolution of itself-- in other words, turned wrong side out. Miss Shepherd was forced to relax her grip of her lover's arm; his energies were centered elsewhere. In one mo- ueBt the fatal ves had been spoken;but Fate interposed a hiatus, estate is apt to do. Manchester had a great deal of ob­ stinacy that was wont to come to the front m emergencies. Neither his atti­ tude nor gait was at the present mo­ ment dignified, but he manifested a de­ termination not to be conquered by an inanimate thing he had so often re­ viled. He was in fine chose1 after it when his hat caught the contagion and went fiy- ing off his head in advance. Then disgust overcame him. He gave the umbrella a gay toss, and, barehead­ ed, returned to Annie. She was laugh­ ing merrily. "I can live without them," he said, taking her hand and drawing it through his arm; "but I can't without you. Give me your answer, Annie." "Ah. but look at yourself. Yon run great ri-ks in being uncovered"--with the same accent of conceit* he had seed about her shoes. r "No matter. Tell me.* * He waa irresistible. "Yes. yes, then; but do rave my um­ brella." He gave her a bro id daylight kiss, and then went after the recreant article; while she did the same for his hat. They were a very contented twain when at length they reached their hotel, neither of them seemed the worse for the weather. Manchester found, in accordance with the universal law, that his umbrella had been abstracted during his absence from the hall where he had left it. His was a lovely silk one, sl'm as a cane, imported, while this one he had in his hand was meant for bucolic use only. "Never mind," he said, as they parted at the foot of the stairs, "one umbrella will hereafter do for both."
