Clair was irritable; Harry perplexed
and ;sullen; Maimie nervously talka-
holding beeeelf in command, but the
lobk of pain in her eyes and the pan
thetie 'tremor on her lips belied the
brave smiles and cheerful words with
which she seconded Aunt Frank.
After dinner the company separat-
ed, for there were still preparations
to Make for the evening. As Mrs.
Murray was going to ketroom she met
Harry in •the hall with Itis het on.
, "Where are you going, Harry?"
"Anywhere," he growled, fiercely,
"to get out of this claninable hypoc-

• Then Mrs. Murray Came, and lay-
ing h,er hand on his arrnesaid: "Don't
go, Harry; don't leave/me; I want
some, one; mime upstairs."
Herry stood looking at the sweet
face trying to smile so bravely in
spite of the ,trenntIous lips.
Yoti are a dear brave little woman"
he said hanging tne his hat, "alid
be ,hanged if I don't stay by you, Come
along upstairs." He stooped; and
lifting her in his anns in spite of her
laughing protests, carried her upstairs
to her room'. When they came down
,the party they both lookedraver
and stronger.
The party was a great eucceis. The
appointments were perfect; the music
the best that could be had, and Maimie
more beautiful than • ever. In some
mysterious Way, known only to Aunt
Frank, the rumor of Maimie's ap-
proaching engagement got about a-
mong the gnksts and produced an un-
dertone of excitement to the evening's•
gayety. Maimie was too excited to
be 'quite natural, but she had never
appeared More brilliantly and happy,
and(surelyi elle had -every cause. She
had achieved a dizan summit in social
succest sthat Made' her at orice'' the
subject of her friends' congratulations
and her rivals' secret envy, and -Which
was the more delightful it would be
hard to say. Truly, she was a lottun-
ate girl, but still the night was long,
and she was tired Of it all before it
was over. The room seemed empty,
and eften her heart gave a leap as her
eyes fell upon some form that appear-
ed more handsome and striking than
others near, but only to sink again
in disappointment when a second
glaece told -her that it ntras only some
ordinary man. Kate, too, kept aloof
in a very utiPleasant way,' and Harry,
devoting himself to Kate. had not done
his duty. But in spite of everything
the party had been a great success,
and when it, was over Mainiie went
straight to bed to sleep. She Imew
that Ranald would be awaiting the
answer to his note, but she could not
bring herself to face with. what ,would
be an ordeal that might murder sleep
for her, andsleep she must have, for
she must be; her beat to -morrow. It
would have been better for all involir-
ed had she written her answer that
night; otherwise Ranald would 'not
have bee e standing at her door in the
early afternoon asking to see her. It
was Aunt Frances who came down
to the. drawingroom. As Ranald
stood up and bowed, she adjusted her
pince-nez upon her aristocratic 'nese,

, "You are wishing to see Miss St,.

tone.

"I must say Mr. Macdonald that after
your conduct to my brother, yesterday

assurance to enter his house."

Ranald, looking baffled.
"Of course one cannot tell in such
a ease," answered Miss St. Clair, "but
I should think not." Miss St. Clair
was enjoying herself. It did her good
to see this insolent, square -jawed
young iman standing* helpless befere
her.
"It is impertent that I should see
her," said Ranald after a few mom-
ents' thought. "I shall wait." Had

where I pulled her out of the fire. Ev-

waked with the thought of her; every

no man ilvina will take her from me."
The fire that always slumbered in his
eyes was now blazing in full fury. The '
great passion of hisl_life was raging
through his sounvihriting. in his voece,
and glowing in his dark face. Miss
St. Clair sat silent, and then !nation -
ed him to a seat. ;

"Mr. Macdonald," She said with
grave courtesy, "you are too late, I
fear. I did not realize—Matmie will

At the sad earnestness of her voice,
Ranald began to grow pale. ,
"I will wait foteher" he said, quiet-
ly.
"I beg you will not.", .
"I will wait," he repeated, with lips
tight compressed.: .
"It is vain, Mr. Macdonald, I as-
sure you. Spare yourself and her.
I know what—I ,could have—" Her
voice 'grew husky.
"I will wait," once more replied
Ranald, the lines of his face growing
tenseia
Ms St. Clair rose and gave lem
her hand. "I will send a friend to
ybu, and I beg you to excuse me,"
Ranald bowed gravely, "and to forgive
me," and she left the room. Ranald
heard her pass through the hall and
up the stairs and then a door closed
behind her. Before he had time to
gather his thoughts together he heard
a voice outside that made his heart
stand still. Then the front door
opened quickly and Maimie and De
Lacy stood in the hall. Sh,e was gay-
ly talking. Remelt' rose and stood
with his back -t.V the door. Before hiin
was a large rairrer which reflected
the hall through the open door. He
stood waiting for them to enter.
"Hang 1113 your hat; Captain De
acy, then e» in: and find a chair while
I run upstairs" cried Maimie, gayly.
"You must leaen your way about here
now." i
"No," said De Lacy, in a low, dis-
tinct voice. "I can wait no longer,
Maimie." $
,
She looked at him a moment as if
in fear.
"Come," he: said, holding out his
• hands to her. ; "There was no chance
in the park, and I can wait no longer."
Slowly she carne near. "My darling,
my sweetheait," -he said, in a low
voice full a intense passion. Tnen,
while she lay in his arms, he kissed
her on the lips twice. Ranald stood
gazing in the . mirror as if fascinated.
As their lips' met a -low groan burst
front him. He faced about and with
a single step, stood in the doorway.
Shriek after , shriek t. echoed through
Lacy's arms and shrank back to the
the house as Maimie sprang from De

"What is it, Maimie," cried her
Aunt Frank, hurrying down stairs.
There she saw Ranald standing in
the doorway, with face bloodless,
ghastly, livid. Quickly she went up
to him, and said, invoice trembling
and not ungentle: "Oh, why did you
wait, Mr. Macdonald; go away now,

Ranald turned and looked at ber

tears poured down her cheeks: "Here

He looked at her a moment as if i

A Good True Friend.
It was springtiime and the parks and
avenues were in all the dainty splendor
of their new leaves. The afternoon
May sun was flooding the city with
gold and silver light, and all the
air was tre,mulons With the singing of
birds. A good daY it was to live if
one could only live in the sunny air
within sight of the green leaves and
Within sound of the singing birds. A
day for life and love it was; at least
so Kate _thought as she drew up her
prancing team at the st. Clair house
where HarrY1 stood w lting for her.

Harry. • "Did/ you hear me tell you I

"Nonsense' ' Harry, jump; I'll re-

Kate, smiling sweetly as she ran off
to meet the incoming train.. In a
few moments she returned with Mrs.
Murray and carrying a large, black
..Yaliee.
"Hello auntie dear," cried Harry.
"You see I can't leave these brutes of
• Kate's, but believe me it does me good
to see yeti. What a blessing a wed-
ding is to bring you to us. I sup-
pose you won't dome again until it is
Kate's or mine."
"That would be sere to bring me,"
cried' Mrs. Murray, smiling her bright
smile, "provided you marry the right
persons." •
"Why auntie," said -Harry, dismally,.
"Kate is so unreasonable. She Went
take even me. You see she's so tree
menduouslys impressed, with herself,
and all the fellows spoil her."
By this time Kate had the reins
and Harry had climbed into the back
seat.,•
"Dear old auntie.," he said, • kiss-
ing his aunt. "I am really delighted
to see you. But to return to Kate.
Look at her! Doesn't she look like
a Roman princess.?"
"Now, Harry, d - be sensible, or

"Don't tell," pleaded Harry, "and
do keep Bretton on all fours.' This
isn't a cireus. You terrfy me."
"We have only time to make the
train, hurt* up!" cried Kate. "Steady,
my boys.'" t
"Some day, Kate those 'boys' of
yours will be your death or the death
of some of your friends" said Harry,'
he sprang in and took 'his Place
heside Kate. "That Breton ought to
be shot. It really affects my heart to
drive with you.'
"You havent,any, Harry, yeu know
that right well, so don't be alarnied."
"Quite true," said Harry sentiment-
ally, "not since that night, don't you.
remember, Kate, when you -,11.'
"Now Harry, I only remind you that
I always tell my girl friends every-
thing you say. It is this wedding
that's got into your blood."
, "I Suppose so," m-unnured Harry,
pensively; "wish it would get into
yours. Now seriously, Kate, at your
years you ought—"
"Harry," said Kate, indignantlyt "I
really don't need you at the station.
I can meet your atilt miite well with-

or drive you to the office?" 7
"Oh, not to the office I entreat! Jen -

with seeming irrelevance, she said:
"Didn't I see Colonel Thorp yesterday

• "Yea the old heathen! I haven't
forgiven him for taking off Ranald as
he did."
„
"He didn'e take off Ranald . Ranald
was goiny -if anyway."
"How do you know?" said Harry.
"I know," replied. Kate; -with a little
color in her cheek. "He told me him-
self."
"Well, old Thorp, was mighty glad
to get him; I can tell you that. The
old sinner!"
"He is just a dear!" cried Kate,
"Yes, he was glad to get !Wield. What

"Oh, yes'I know, he adores you like

she threaded her way through the

"Do be careful," cried Harry, as the

noses of the car -horse. "I am quite
sure in.y aunt will, not be able trere-

"And why not?"
"Because I shall be gray-haired by

Harry.
"Here we are sure enough."
"Shall I go to the train?" -
"No, indeed," cried Kate. "Do you

so to speak, with Kate heroically
struggling to prevent utter 'collapse.
Could this be allowed? • No! it thous-

this juncture, Kate. who had been
maintaining a powerful sllence, smiled
upon Little Merrill, who being dis-
tinctly inflammable, and for some
mysterious reason devoted to Ranald,
and fee an even more myster-
fous reasen devoted to Kate,
swore he'd follow if some one would
lead. What could I do? My well -
'mown abilities naturally singled me
out for leadership, so to prevent any
such calamity, I immediately proposed
that if Starry Hamilton, the great
football chief, would command this en-
terprise I would follow. Before the
evening was over the Institute was
thoroughly manned."
"It is nearly half true, aunt," said
Kate..

tinued Harry, "the Institute had sur-
vived the loss of Ranald."
