Never had she been made love to with the headlong gal- lantry, with the dashing precipitation of the west. It had swept her from her moorings. She found almost he- tore she was aware of it that her past experience now stood her in little stead. She awoke to a sudden realiza- tion of the fact that she was practical- ly pledged to James Armstrong after THE CHALICE 0F -’ COURAGE ' the undo of Palm Beach. along the clue of Neme-t, in the romantic glen: of Mount Desert. In the old-fashioned dnwinx-room over-looking Rittenhouse Some. She had been proposed to In motor cars, on the decks of yachts and once even while riding to hounds, The canon broadened here and there at long intervals and ranch lhouses were found in every clearing, "but these were few and far between and for the most part Armstrong and Enid Maitland rode practically alone save for the passage of an occasional lumber wagon. Omne ignotum pro magnum! She had been wooed in tho conven- tional fashion my times and oft on Business of the most important and critical nature demanded Arm- strong’s presence east at this juncture, and will-he-nill-he there was no way he could put off his departure longer. He had to leave the girl with an un- easy conscience that, though he had her half way promise, he had her but half way won. He had snatched the ultimate day from his business de- mand to ride with her on the first stage of her journey to the mountains. in-acqhaintance of three weeks in Denver and on the ranch. The Game Played in the Usual Way. The road on which they advanced into the mountains was well made§ and well kept up. The canon throughj the foothills was not very deepâ€"for Coloradoâ€"and the ascent was gentle. Naturally it wound in every direction, follmxing the devious course of the xiver, which it frequently crossed from g one side to the other on rude log: bridges. A brisk gallop of half a mile' or so on a convenient stretch of com- paratively level going put the two in the lead far ahead of the lumbering wagon and out of sight of those others of the party who had elected to go a horseback. There was perhaps a tacit agreement among the latter not to break in upon this growing friendship,‘ or, more frankly, not to interfere in a developing love affair. “You can’t think," began the man. as they drew rein after a splendid gallop and the somewhat tired horses readily subsided into a walk, “how I hate to go back and leave you.” “How dare you,” cried thegirl, her face aflame, freeing herself at last. and swinging her own horse almost to the edge of the road which here ran on an Excavation some fifty feet above the river. “And you can't think how loath I am to have you return,” the girl flashed out at him with a sidelong glance from her bright blue eyes and a witchlng smile from her scarlet lips. “How dare I?” laughed the auda- cious man, apparently no whit abashed by her indignation. “When I think of my opportunity I am amazed at my moderation.” “Your opportunity; your modera- tion?” “Yes, when I had you helpless I took but one kiss; I might have hold you longer and taken a. hundred." “And by what right did you take that one?” haughtily demanded the outraged young woman, looking at him beneath level brows while the color slowly receded from her face. She had never been kissed by a man other than a blood relation in her lifeâ€"remember, suspicious reada, that she was from Philadelphiaâ€"and she resented this sudden and unau- thorized caress with every atom and instinct of her still somewhat conven- tional being. “But aren’t you half way engaged to me?” he.pleaded in justification, see. ing the unwonted seriousness with which she had received his impudent advance. “Didn’t you agree to give me a chance ?" “I did say that I liked you very much,” she admitted, “no man better, and that I thought that you mightâ€"” “Well, thenâ€"" he began. But she would not be interrupted. “I did not mean that you should en- Joy all the privileges of a conquest be- fore you had won me. I will thank you not to do that again. sir." “It hasn't affected me that way,” reâ€" (torted the girl promptly, her face still vii-owning and indignant. “Not at all, “It seems to have had a very dit- terent effect upon you than it does upon me,” replied the man coolly. “I loved you before, but now, since I have kissed you, I worship you." “Forgive me, Enid,” pleaded the other. “I just couldn’t help it.

THE DURHAM CHRONICLE " f “II this your habit in your love at- ,taire?” asked the girl swiftly and not without a spice of feminine malice. 5 “I never had any love aflair be- liore." he replied with a ready mascu- line mendacity, “at least none worth mentioning. But you see this is the "welt; we have gained what we have ,by demanding every inch that nature 'otera, and then claiming the all. That’s the way we play the game out here and that’s the way we win.” “Whut is the way?" asked the man 'mxioualy. “Show me and I’ll take it ,no matter what its dimculty.” “Ah, for me to point out the way would be to play traitor to myself," Ihe answered, relenting and relaxing A little before his devoted wooing. “You must find it without assistance. 31 can only tell you one thing." ' “And what is that?” “You do not advance toward the goal by such actions as those of a moment since.” “But I have not yet learned to play the ‘tame.’ as you call if. by any such axles.” returned the young woman de. 'terminedly. “and it is not the way to "flu me it I am the stake." “Look here,” said the other sudden" Iy. “I am not ashamed of what I did. and I’m not going to pretend that I am, either. ” i “You ought to be," severely. ; “Well, maybe so, but I’m not; I. couldn’t help It any more than I could help loving you the minute I saw you,‘ Put yourself in my place.” “But I am not in your place, and I can’t put myself there. I do not wish to. If it be true, as you say, that you have grown toâ€"care so much for me and so quicklyâ€"” “If it be true?” came the sharp in- terrUption as the man bent toward her, fairly devouring her with his bold, ardent gaze. “Well, since it is true," she admit- ed under the compulsion of his pro- test. “That fact is the only possible excuse for your action.” “You find some justification for me, then? “No, only a possibility, but whether it be true or not, I do not feel that wayâ€"yet.” There was a. saving grace in that last word, which gave him a little heart. He would have spoken, but she suffered no interruption, saying: “I have been wooed before, butâ€"" “True, unless the human race has [become suddenly blind,” he said softly under his breath. “But never in such ungentle ways “I suppose you have never run up against a real red-blooded man like me before." . “Don’t say that. Evidently I make but poor progress in my wooing. Never have I met with a woman quite like you”â€"and in that indeed lay some of her charm, and she might have replied in exactly the same lan- guage and with exactly the same meaning to himâ€"“I am no longer a boy. I must be fifteen years older than you are, for I am thirty-five." “If red-blooded be evidenced mainly by lacking of self control, perhaps I have not. Yet there are men that l have met that would not need to apol- ogize for their qualities even to you, Mr. James Armstrong.” “And I wouldn’t insult your intel- ligence by saying you are the only woman that I have ever made love to but there is a vast difference between making love to a woman and loving one. I have just found that out for the first time. 1 marvel at the past. and The dlflerence between their years was not quite so great as he declared, but womanlike the girl let the state ment pass unchallenged. 1 am ashamed of it, but I thank God that I have been saved for this op“ portunity.

The better I know you the less pleased I am with Jim Arm~ strong, but there are possibilities in me, I rather believe, and with you for inspiration, God!”-â€"-â€"the man flung out his hand with a fine gesture of do. termination. “They say that the east and west don’t naturally mingle. but it’s a lie; you and I can beat the world." The woman thrilled to his gallant wooing. Any woman would have done so; some of them would have lost their heads, but Enid Maitland was an exceedingly cool young person, for she was not quite swept oi! her feet. 81d did not quite lose her balance. “I like to hear you say things like that,” she answered. “Nobody quite like you has ever made love to me, and certainly not in your way, and that's the reason I have given you a half way promise to think about it. I was sorry that you could not be with us on this adventure,_but now I amfiraâ€"ther glad, especially if the even temper of my way is to be interrupted by anything like the outburst of a few minutes since." “I am glad, too." admitted the man. “For I declare I couldn’t help it. It I have to be with you either you have got to be mine or else you would have to decide that it could never be, and then I’d go off and fight it out.” "Leave me to myself," said the girl earnestly “for a little while; it’s best so; I would not take the finest, noblest man on earthâ€"" “And I am not that." “Unless I loved him. There is some- thing very attractive about your per- sonality; I don’t know in my heart whether it is that. or«-â€"" “Good,” said the man, as she hesi- tated. “That"s enough."

There were things in his career or which Maitlsnd did not and could not approve, but they were of the past, he reflected, and Armstrong was after all a pretty good sort. Mr. Maitland's standards were not at all those of his Philadelphia brother, but they were very high. His experiences of men had been different; he thought that Armstrong. having certainly by this time reached years of discretion. could be safely entrusted with the precious treasure of the young girl who had been committed to his care. and for whom his aflection grew as his knowl. edge of and acquaintanceship with her increased.

DASHEEN INSTEAD OF THE IRISH POTATO. Washington Oct. 31.-â€"The dec partment of agriculture has ready for distribution, through repre- sentatives in Congressy1000 bush- els of seed dasheens, the semi-n tropical tuber which, it is expected will take the place of Irish pota-. toes in the Southern States. This is the first season in which such a distribution will be made._ The new potato substutute, which has a hairy coat, and has been grown with much success in Florida, comes from Central and Southern America, and will grow in the moist, wanm regions of the south, which are fatal to the Irish otato. It has been tried at the anquets of the National Geo- raphical Society, and pronounced ecidedly good. It can be boiled or baked, or cooked in any other way a potato can be used. The taste is far more meaty than a potato. Some who have eaten the dasheen say there is a sugges- tion of roasted chestnut about it, and others think it tastes as though a very slight addition of gravy has been made to the pota- to. Tests have shown that a crop of 400 to 450 bushels an acre can be raised. mm”. NEW YORK “(NOV Cor. William and («tar 3!.
