"Can't you say out boldly and hon

Miss Sylvertou Instantly lose to tho
combat.
"You shall linvo your cars soundly

into a corner presently. Mius Sylvos-
toun laid her pretty hands about his
cam with great rapidity, until he hnd
cried peccavi seveial times, when sho
desisted, and they both looked up to
see Denzll Youngo standing In tho
doorway, laughing heartily at tho
whole encounter. He looked so ex
tremely handsome, and tho entiro
scene was so out of keeping with nil
propilcty, that for onco In her lifo
Miss Sylverton blushed crimson.
"You there and you never came io
my rescue!" snid Kddo when ho had
iccovered his bieath. looking ro
nvnnchfnllv at Denzll as he spoko.
"Well, I would not have believed it of
you. However, the longer we live,
the more we learn, and I Biipposo It is
the way of tho wot Id. Miss Sylverton
Mr. Youngc."
"Oh, Mr. Youngo, Indeed I did not
know you were there," Miss Sylverton
murmured, demurely, looking ns if alio
could not hurt a lly to save her life;
"nnd, besides, Eddie and I nro sucn oiu
friends." Hoic sho made the discovery
that sho wius excusing her conduct to
a strnnge young mau-n thing Miss
ylveiton had never before been guilty
"Well wonders will never cenBO. I
declnro 'sho Is nctually asbnmed of

onjoylng her unwonted confusion Im-men-.ye.ly.
" vcilly believe she Jb.

"No, I nm not." loturned Miss Syl
verton, promptly, quite reudy now for
a war of words uir from It.'
"If that Is how you treat your
friends," broke In Danzll, "I should
llko very much Indeed to put my name
upon your Hat, Miss Sylverton."
"Would you?" Hhe Bald coquettish
lv. "Aro you not frightened? Well
If you behave piettlly and mnke up
your mind to eiKiuio a good deal of
Ill-treatment, 1 daro say I shull bo
nble to make room for you. Jlut I
must have tlmo to Judge of you first."
'"I hanks, nnd for how long am I
to bo put on trial? Don't make it too
long," pleaded Donztl, In his lnzy,
musical voice. For the life of him ho
never could refrain from softening Ills
tone when nddresulng a pretty wo
mnn. "For Jiint one week," answered
Frances. "I could understand Machln
velll himself In a week, so next Fri
day you may come to tne for my de
cision." "In tho meantime, Miss Trevnnlon, I
hope you will put in u good word for
in, ' IlenJill said, turning to whero
Mildred was standing.
"Certainly. I will even put In two
for you on this orcnslon It la such uti
Important one," Miss Trovanlon ro
tut ued, smiling on him her swee vld
Btulle, which somehow hnd the effect
of sending tho blood throbbing back
Into his heart: and then tho conver
sation changed.
"Whoro Is Mabel?" FinnccH nBltcd
presently. "I hnve seen uothlng of
either her or Sir Ooorge."
"IMjin went to Plnchley Common
mi noitr ngo," Mildred nuswered; "but
I cannot Imagine where Mabel has
hidden herself so effectually."
"I think bho went, with Hnchael Into
tho garden," Denzll mild, "at least
they were talking of examining aome
Mowers when I laid flaw them."
Sho ennin In a few momenta later
with Knchnol Youngo, and, seeing
Fiances, dropped nil her HowerB upon
the floor.
' Frames!" sho exclaimed, nnd ran
foiwnrd mid kissed her friend with
honest, undisguised delight; after
which Miss Youngo was Introduced,
and mndo the faintest, stllTest little In
clination In return for Frances, care
less, graceful low.
"hhe Is unbearable," MIsh Sylverton
usMired beielf upon the spot, nnd
then told Mabel all about her unex
pected return. "And now thnt I linvo
succeeded ho fortunntely." she added,
"In getting out of the lion's clutches
without suffering any severe damage,
I think tho county ought to celebrate
my escape by some public lejoliclng.
Don't you think no, Mildred? Anddon't
you think It Is high tlmu old Dick
Blount gave us a ball?"
"It does Hcom a long time bIuca lant
ho gnvo one," Miss Trovanlon nnswor
ed, nosentlngly.
"A dreadful time," declnred Frances,
who was In tho habit of adorning her
conversation with innumerable notca
of admiration, mingled with startling
adjectives "so long a tlmo thnt I hato
quite forgotten what I wore at the
hint! I Hay, Kddle, have you Unshod
the ruination of that desk? Uecauso,
If so, 1 Hhould like you to get a liorso
nnd rldo over with me to the Ornngo,
when we will find old Dick, and make
him give us n dance before next week
Ih ended. Whnt do you say to my
plan?"
"I am willing." Eddlo said, nnd loft
tho room to order his horse.
"I vote that wo all go," exclaimed
Mabel. Why not order tho pony
phaeton and necompnny them? It Ib
a charming drive."
"Charming and so Is your Idea,"
Mildred bald; "only I don't think I
will go, Mali, my dear."
"Oh, why not, Mildred, when there
will be plenty of room?" cried Mabel.
"You and Mr. Youngo can Hit In front,
nnd Ilncbael and I behind. Do como,
my dearest."
"Not toduy. thank you," Miss Tre
vnnlon returned, blushing faintly.
"'An' If sho won't she won't,'"
quoted Mabel. "Mr. Youngo, 1 have
failed, so 1 leave you to try tho power
of your persuasions whllo wo go and
dress I dine say you will be nioro
successful. Come Hachael" and thon
sho nnd Miss Youngo went out of tho
room.
Mildred piopured to follow.
"Miss Trovanlon, I wish you would
como with us," Denzll snid, softly,
engcrly, ns he hold the door opon for
her. "Tho drlvo will not bo tho Bamo
thing without you. Will you como?"
"It Ib very good of you to wIbU It,"
Alio answered, bestowing upon him
for tho second tlmo that morning, her
beautiful, Indifferent smile, "but I do
not think I will thanks."
"Why not?" ho asked, Impatiently,
still standing heforo her, nnd gazing
almost nngrlly down Into her calm,
unutterably lovely fnco. "Why not?
Tell mo."
Miss Trovanlon ralBed her oyes and
looked full at him.

came up from tho bottom of tho well,
including three curious fish. They
wero about eight inches long, and had
neither head nor tall, both ends being
nllke. They could mvlra as easily
