Ida laughed derisively. •
"I ani glad to know you under-

it was high noon before Ida Weld -

Rosebud hod intagibed her illenattire

Flushed and tired with the effort of

her fruitless search for' the wrapper,

deley, declaring it must be some-

must be- us blind as a but not to :ice
it.
Rosebud felt strongly tempted to
rush down -stairs and out of the
house; yet, "Where or to whom cold
she go?" she thought. despairingly.
She hed Nina tten two letters to Per-
cy that morning,, directing one to the
New York Postoflice, the other to
Boston. "Percy most surely • come'
for me in a day or so," she thought,
.With all a young girl's enthusiestic
hopefulness. "Until then I must try
to endure my life at Wtldwood as
best I can."
Ida Waldron was like no young girl
that Itosehtin had ever mt. She
was cold, formal, and distant; she
had no pretty, artless, girlish -
thoughts, such as young maidens
generally delight to confide to each
other. All her thoughts centered up-
on the idea of capturing a wealthy
husband. She made this and fash-
Me the one study of her life. It was
little wonder pretty little Rosebud
Arden felt so sadly out of Mace in
the false etmosphere that pervaded
her aunt's stately home.
Two long dreary weeks passed at
Wildwood; still Resebud recited no
reply to cithcr of .the letters she
had written to Percy. Every day
the postman saw a retty. flower-
like face pressed wistfully against the
window-mme, welching his approach,
and he saw to color fade out of lie,
yonng ince and tear drops glisten
like, diamond clew on the long curling
lashes, as he hurriedly passed the
entrance mite without stopping.
The words of :Maud Arden still
rang in her ears: "When Percy, your
fickle, handsome lot er, finds out that
you are disowned and turned away
penniless from The Willows, 800 il
he wi 1 then chet left the blighted
Rosebud!"
"It is quite true," site murmured,
bitterly. "Percy Fielding could woo

and•had wooed her with such earnest

flushed with eagerness, his eyes and
lips dogteeth with love; he quite ear -

Rosebud had pictured, with all a
child's vanity, what u. grand triumph
it would bo to marry Maudy's lover
and leave The Willows. She had
never once given a thought as to
. whether she Imes! him or not. Such
an idea had never occurred to her

face, upon which the radiant moon-

her mother, clever though she was

asked Mrs. Waldron, qeestioningly.

"Thou see to it that you look your

like the allurements of the opera to
giie a bashful young lover confi-
dence to declare- himself. A. girl
with your attractions ought to meke
a 'success of such an opportunity,"
A little harsh laugh broke from
Idn's eri221SOZ1, pouting lips.
"You are .much mistaken, tnamtuas
in thinking Raymond Leslie is bash.,
ful," she *said; "he is anything but
that—calm, self-possessed and exceed-
ingly polite, with a heart as cold as
an iceberg."
"You tire talking nonsense," re,
torted ' Mrs. Waldron, sharply.
"Young men with hearts in their
bosoms and youthful blood in their
veins are not insensible to a pretty
girl's charme."
"I wish I could feel as sanguine
upon the subject as you do, mam-
ma," cried idn; "but these cold,
stern natures chill 2110, and I can
never feel as though I could breathe

• She tried to speak lightly, bet it
WAS a, failure; het' voice trembled.
In that moment her mother read
the secret she had tried so hard to
conceal, and with shrewd diplomacy
Airs. Waldron instantly changed the
subject.
'Rosebud was certainly more re-
lieved than grieved when Ida curtly
informed her the next afternoon that
she would not need iter before eve -

ning,
"Would yon care if I went out in-

"I don't care where you go. so
long as you don't go near the front
garden, or the library,'' snapped
Rim, flouncing out of the room, her
heart in a flutter, as she walked hur-
riedly toward the wait ingeroom
where Raymond Leslie awaited her.
Rosebud took her broad-brinuned
sun -hat in her hand, and walked
slowly down the back staircase into
the garden.
Front. the library she heard gay,
laughing voices: one was Ida Wal-
dron's, and the other a deep, manly
musical voice that sounded strangely
familiar to her. They were discus-
sing the beautiful poem, "For Me."
The rich cadence of the deep, full
voice made Rosebud's heart thrill
strangely, as the wards floated out
to her ahem she sat.

Quito mechanically. without
thought or into at, Rosebud picked
up her hat again and steolled on-
ward through the garden. At the
furthest end of the inclosure was the
archery ground, and itt this direction
she bent, her footsteps.
"I can think quietly here all alone

herself down treat ily upon un adja-

are the cause of offensive breath, It

the fragrance of absolute purity. This

prime factors of health and beauty

breath. Cinnamon has antiseptic as
well as aromatic properties and is ktghly
valuad by the Japanese for purifying

infectious microbes and when freely
drunk in such ways as cinnamon tea it
prevents malaria.
