Meanwhile, Little/ Rosebud bound-
ed quickly tip the broad stairway to
her own room, which was directly
across the hall from Matiil's.
-T don't know, and I'm sure I
don't care where the horrid little
thing is now, most probably parad-
ing the cup and her victory. and my
defeat, down iii the servants' hall,"
she heated Maud say. And she knew
they were talking of her.
"I foresee no enol of trouble, with
that girl," she heard her step -moth-
er say, fretfully: "All my persua-
sions have failed utterly in trying to
get the judge to send her off some-

"I never will he able to make a

"Ile hes not seen Rose-

shaking her head thoughtfully.
"Young men's hearts are fickle as the

my dear. Depend upon it, she shall

"1 hate het'! yes, hate her!" groan-

"cha'n't I bring you up some nice

asked the maid, who was greatly at-
tached to little lUilsie Rosebud, as
she called her.
"You can bring me the milk and
some nice strawberries, Susette, if
you want to, but I couldn't eat any
toast."

peared sobliinir at the door again.

Little Rosebud's eyes were filled
with indignant tears.
if papa heebeen home, She would
not have dared 'Co treat ue so," she
cried out, as she buried her pretty
face among the luscious, growing
berries, which were not mote crim-
son than her own flushed cheeks and
ripe red lips. "Oh, dear, how 1 wish
pupa and 1 could go away from Hero
this very night, and never conte back
again—never!"
"Excuse me, I have taken advan-
tage of your kind permission to
call," said a deep, thrilling voice
beside her. "1s J edge Arden at
home?"
Rosebud started to her feet with a
crimson, dismayed face, the glowing
berries she held in her hands scatter-
ed in all directions.
A handsome young wean stood lean-
ing with careless grace, hat in
hand, against the garden gate. Tho
red -gold rays of the setting sun fell
upon his boyish hautdsyine face, and
caressed the dark, wa\ing curls that
were pushed back from his broad
white brow.
Rosebud recognized Irina instantly.
"•1'm sorry papa is not at home,"
site said, blushing shyly as she rais-
ed her blue eyes to 'the stranger's
face; "mamma and Maud are at
llolne, though. Wouldn't you like
to come its and talk to theist?"
"I would much rather come in and
talk to you," said the young plan,
boldly. ''Mayr 1?"
He did not wait for an answer, but
swinging the gate open, entered,
with a light, springy step. The next
moment he was standing beside her.
Ile saw the glistening tear -drops in
her pretty blue eyes, and made quite
an accurate guess at the cause. He
remembered that the landlord had
told hint "Little Itosebud did not
have
0 happy O lit h
w a life of it un-
der
I p« n
der her step -mother's iron ruling."
"Could it be possible that any one
could have been scolding this pretty,
winsome little creature, taking ad-
vantage of the judge's absence?"
"You will forgive ole foe putting
in an appearance so soon," he he-
gan, apologetically: "brit I really
could not wait until to -morrow. I
was so anxious to '500 you again,
and know you were none the worse
for this afternoon's fright. 1 fere is
my card." •
Rosebud took the bit of gilt-edged
pasteboard, and read the na11110,
"Percy Fielding,"
Ile had ,seated himself o11 the rus-
tic bench beside her, so gracefully
and with Snell Cagy Self-assurance
that it could scarcely be termed
rudeness.
The exclamation of surprise that
fell fl•ont her lips made him jump to
his feet in startled amazement.

hint coyly with her bright eyes.
"Won't you tell me what else site

his well -modulated, inimical voice.
Rosebud's heart was thrilling
strangely under the magnetic influ-
ence of the pat5siouate; sparkling,
dart: eyes bent so eagetly upon 1'0'r.
She had never meant to tell, but
somehow, almost before she was

by some magic power from her lips.

She uttered a little startled cry as
she saw the slight, irregular scar on
his handsome white forehead, which
his waving curls 120(1 concealed.
Rosebud's innocent but supremo
vanity, though startled and frighten-
e.l, quickly grasped the flattering
truth, that it was becauSO he really
cared for her that he had braved the
adventurous experiment. She did
not comprehend the full meaning of
his passionate words, but she knew
the one fact that he thought her
very beautiful, and was too well
content with it to refuse to hear
hirn ring the changes on it.
Flushe:l, startled, and infinitely
fair, she gat.e.1 at her young adorer
and 1!s'etled breathlessly to his
w c rds half willingly, half reluctant-
ly.
T'\ose1iud was young and romantic,
and tho greatest, subtlest charm
laky in the fact. She knew Maud had
never intended that she should meet
this handsoree young lover of hers.
The love of middle age is slow, de -
1i orate, and far-seeing into the fu-
tute; but the love of youth is fra-
grant, impulsive, and instantaneous,
es'ting and Baring for naught but the
blissful present.

lips.
lie knew it was very wrong, and
that he should not have spoken of
it just yet:- but it was very delight-,
ful, and the coy blushes on Rosebud's
flower-like face proved that 511e was
not t cry- angry with 1,i111.
Percy was the gayest and most

Vet Rosebud Arden's bewitching
face had made his heart throb with
a new experience—she was his first
love. atid first love is the grand
(;ream of life.
Before Rosebud could frame a re-
ply, she heard her step -mother call-
ing her _name in a quick, angry
voice from .•the porch.
"Oh, ,lir. fielding*" cried Rose-
bud, "!,lease go away quickly, my

WITH
DOAN'S gIDNEY PILL`
The Great and Well -Known Kidney Specific
for the Cure of all Kidney
and Bladder Troubles.
Mrs. P. Bertrand, Breehe A Mahon,
Que., writes:—I think it nothing but
right for me to let you know what
DOAN'S KIDNEY PILLS have done for
me. For five months I was badly troubled
with a sore back, and such severe pains
in my kidneys that I could scarcely walk
at times. I got a box of DOAN'S KID-
NEY PILLS, and before I had them half
taken I was greatly relieved, and with
another box I was completely cured. I
cannot help but give them all the praise
I can, and will never fail to recommend
them to all kidney sufferers.
