of forty ) 'ears , who had adopted her
.after the death of her parents. 1 < 'los.
sle's fiance , a : roung doctor of good
iamlly and some nwans , was complet.
ing a medical course In Germany , and
they were to be married as soon as
ho received his foreign diploma.
The girl lo.'ed him , but she was
yery ) 'ounonl ) ' nineteen-and she
't was a willful maid , having always had
Iler own way. Her besetting sin was
love of admiration , and she deemed It
( ) ssentlal to her happiness to have a
man in her tolls. So , being for the
time bereft of her lover , she had
drifted into a serious filrtatlon with a
rich bachelor who llved near the sea.
side rbsort where they were staying.
: Mr. Trevor's summer bome , a fine
stone mansion overlooltlng the harbor ,
was the scene of Ulany festivities. IIe
bad already given two dinners In Flos.
sle's honor at which functions Miss
Treadway liad served as an unwilling
-chaperon.
"l'lossle , " said Miss Treadway , "I
think you ought to consider Mr. Tre-
vor's feelllgs. It Is not fall' to him :
} le does nl1t Imow about Tom. Perhaps -
haps ) 'OU had better tell him ? "
"And spoIl all my fun ? Why , aunty ,
t . . what a luss you are malting about a
trlfIe ! I cannot mope hero wahout
men's society. Tom Is In Germany ,
the sea divides us , and he is welcome
to enjoy himself In like manner. However -
ever , there Is no prospect of bls doing
an'thlng so sensible. "
"Flossie , you are Incorrigible ! " ex.
claimed Miss Treadway with as much
severity of tone as she was capable
of. "I will leave you to your own
thougbts , as I am due at a meeting
at the rectory this afternoon. "
When she was alone Flossie curled
her dainty self In a large easy chair
and laughed softly as she recalled her
aunt's words.
"Loso Tom , " she ropeated. "No
danger of that-couldn't get rid of him
( ) ven if I wanted to. " Then she tell
to musing , and a tender 1001e came
Into ber deep blue e'es. "Dear Tom , "
she murmured , "I do 10\0 him. 1

At this Flossie's blue eyes opened
wide , she sat up , loosened her hold on
the chocolates , and read on :

"To , day the plot thickened , and how.
