"Why do you say "anything reasonaâ€" Ray stood with folded arms, listening with an amused smile to this very absurd rhodomontade. Tlien, suddenly becoming grave, he sw‘d : "It is not so Mildred. I am no hero, nor do I pretend to a superâ€" fluous amount of courage. Yet, for your sake, if need be, I could face death & thouâ€" sand times, too." *Pooh !‘ said Mildred pouting prettily, ‘y0@2 men talk eloquently enough of deyoâ€" tion and adoration, but you never do anyâ€" thing to prove it. For my part I wish we were back in the good old days of chivalry when a knight, if he loved a lady, rode bravely into the lists and challonged the world in her name. â€" But nowadays you are all carpet knights. You can bow, and waltz, and talk nousense, but you never fight. ‘The@ word ‘heroism‘ should be‘ marked ‘obselete‘ in the dictionaries." _ _ Miss Mildred Heathcote and Mr. Ray Harding stood side by side, looking down }tbo Devil‘s Fall. The scene was one of awful grandeur, yet just then neither telt its spell. The lady was petulant and her lover nonchalant. Yesterday he had asked her to marry him and she had hesitated, saying, ‘I will tell you toâ€"morrow,‘ know:» ing very well that her answer could be nothing but ‘Yea,‘ Just now he repeated the question, but in that cool, high and mighty way of his, which piqued her, though she knew he meant notking by it, so she still coquetted and hesitated.
