"Oh, Peggy, hnvo you heard Cap
tain Noely's offer?" was screeched by
a bevy of veranda beauties as Mar
garet Randall joined them.
"Offer of what?"
"Oh, gracious, girls, toll her!"
"Why, tho captain has offored-
began one of the damsels.
"You mistake, my dear young lady,"
interrupted tlio captain, "i onor Hom
ing. Rut I have signified my willing
ness to consider nny or all offers made
me. You see, Miss Peggy," said he,
turning toward tho late arrival, who,
although far .from being beautiful,
ruled them by right of brightness, hor
Wit nnd her Inexhaustible resourcqV as
an entertainer. "I nm disgusted with
tho way you young ladles art! neglect
ing your leap year advantages, and I
will wngcr that not ono of you hns
mado an offer of marriage this year.
Ilavo you now?"
"Nothing but tho awful dread of be
ing refused has deterred us, captain,"
answered Miss Randall. "Think of our
feelings, when after laying our hearts
nnd fortunes nt your feet you refuse to
listen."
' "Thnt's Just tho contingency I havo
been providing for. Tho very point wo
wero discussing when you Joined us
nnd I said that to every girl I 'refused
this yenr I would givo n Jersey cow.
I've a fine drove of them, you know,
nnd It's no more than right that thero
should be some little consolation prlzo
offered."
"That's. not so bad; but great heav
ens, captain 1" exclaimed one of tho
younger men. "Have you the lenst Idea
of what you are liable to got Into?"
Tho group on the veranda broke up
and Peggy, together with a half dozen
of tho young people, went outside to
arrange for tho thentrlcnls, leaving to
the rest tho discussion of tho eccentric
bachelor's latest.
The end of tho senson camo nnd
found tho captain still open to engage
ments nnd he confided, to. bno of the
young ladles that ho w'as thinking se
riously of Bottling, down icfll ho might
make tho mistake of walking clear
through tho wood and then at last pick
ing up a croQked,.stlck., ( ,
"You accept whatoTer offerS'tonlght,
captain," said she mJgphleVously. It
was tho night of tho last: danco Of tho
season.
Cnptnln Necly, who was not a danc
ing man, promennded the veranda with
a combination of blonde hair and pink
muslin on his. arm.
"Well, Peggy why don't you begin;
sdrely you hnvo heard this thing dono
times enough to know how?"
She had dropped his arm nnd the
Joko as soon as thoy wcro out of sight
of the group on the veranda, but ho In
sisted on keeping pp tho convcrsatldn
as it had started out.
Miss Randall was gcnernlly regarded
as a young woman without a vulner
able point; stono-henrted In fact In
reality she was a girl of unusually high
Ideals nnd probably because Bho had
bo much to givo she expected much In
return. Not perfection but her ideal
of manhood was n noble ono and Cnp
tnln Neely at times seemed to her to
fulfill It moro than any man sho had
yet known.
It always seemed to her that Bho
never appeared to such poor advantage
as when with him, for then nil the
ability, as a conversationalist, with
which sho was credited, seemed to de
sert her and Bho felt that to him Bhe
must appear a most uninteresting per
son.
Now sho dared not lot him seo that
sho was afraid to go on with tho farce,
so In tho gayest manner sho began
again Just ns thoy camo upon a seat
among tho trees into which tho cap
tain deliberately throw himself, leaV'
lag hor standing: "My ndorablo .Tamea
Isn't that tho way thoy usually be
gin?"
"Very good," was tho answer, "but 1
positively refuse to listen to nny pro
posal unless tho suitor gels down on
his knees."
"You bnso man, j-ou evidently mean
to luxuriate In tho situation, but I can
go down on my knees hero. 111 soil
my dress."
Captain Neoly gravely spread his
pocket handkerchief ohHho ground In
front of him and Imperatively mo
tloned her to kneel, nnd that sho did,
and In the most approved volco of sup'
pressed emotion began :
"My adorable James; whllo deeply
conscious of my great unworthluess '
"Don't montlon It."
" I must utter the words that have
so long trembled upon my lips I I ,'j
"Well, utter them."
" May I dare, bellevo thnt tho f eeli
Ing I entertain for you Is In a measure
reciprocated, and that nt no distant
timo I may havo tho unutterable hapJ
plness of calling my own ouo whosi

whoso slightest wish will ever bo ma
law?"
"You may," gravely nuswered tho be
loved ono nnd ho bent forward to ralso
tho accepted suitor from her knees.
on, you promised you would re
fuse" nnd Peggy looked ns though
cold ehower bath hod suddenly de
scended upon her.
"Promised! I promised nothing of
tho kind. I merely said what I would
do in case I refused. But, you see, I
do not refuse, I accept."
