(Copyright, lull, by AbsoHiiLwI Literary I'reu.) .Mildred had been shopping all morn ing, attending to some last little pur chases for her trousseau, and now as she sat ut ft table, on what the man agement of this small but quietly .fashionable cafe was pleased to call its terrace-garden, with a sense of ac complishment that lessened fatigue, she felt especially deserving of the re freshment of a dainty luncheon. She drew off her gloves and amused herself by watching the heads of peo ple, Just visible through the lower part of the box-hedge aH they passed In the avenue below; and the sudden thought that "Hilly” might just possi bly pass among them unconsciously brought soft color to her cheeks and a smile to her lips. The waiter was pleasantly slow In bringing her order. The passing heads grew less Interesting. Mildred leaned back In her chair with a sigh of con tent and observed ihe people around her. She was mentally commenting upon the amusing difference between the bats of two handsomely gowned women at a distant table, one bat be lng largo, enough to throw a shadow over the table, and the other consist ing of a twist of straw and an aigrette that extended some twenty Inches Into the nlr, when the words of a man be hind her called her attention nearer home. “Well," he was saying, cheerfully, "I suppose you know that Hilly has done It." "Yes," said his companion. "1 saw the announcement this morning.” "You know," said the first man, meditatively turning his Mass, "there Is as clear an Instance of a man ma king up his mind to a purpose and ac complishing It as any 1 have ever known.” "Opposition In the family?" the sec ond suggested. "Oh, no. I Imagine everyone con nected with the affair is pretty well pleased. Hilly's rather a charming fel low, you know.” "No; I don't know," the other said stiffly. "Hilly never made a great, hit with me. lie has too good an opinion of himself.” "Why shouldn’t he have a good opin Ion of himself?" the first retorted. "He’s a fine-looking fellow, fascinating talker, attractive personality, and a pretty good business man, too. The things that other men struggle for have always come easily to him. I’ve known Hilly since the kindergarten age—almost; and he has always been about the same, easy-going, witty, good humored, charming. Ills mother did her best to spoil him, and didn’t quite succeed. In college he was too popular for bis own good. And with the ladles oh, the way that Billy cap tivates the Indies!" The speaker laughed as If In great enjoyment at some recollections. ‘T've always thought there must be u good deal of character in Hilly that he sur vived his early training. It was enough to make a cad of the average young man.” The silence of the second man seemed to Intimate that lie was not sure Hilly bad survived the training; and Mildred’s cheeks grew hot with loyal resentment. The waiter approached with an Iced consomme. Mildred picked up her spoon, but presently put it down again. What was the determination that the man bad spoken of? As if in echo of her thought, she heard the question behind her: “You haven’t explained the deter mination you mentioned. Did he have to win the girl away from some other man? Teach her to love him?” “No," said the first man. "She was like the others- willing to learn. Hut—" his voice carried a note of sur prise—“you know about Billy, don’t you?'" "1 don't know just what you’re driv ing at. was the response. "Why, everybody knows it. He never made it a secret. Billy was out to marry money. That is, money wasn’t to he the whole thing, but a certain amount of It was to be an absolute condition. 'I said to him one day: 'Billy, why don't you get married? You've been frisking around long enough. The man who waits until he is an old bachelor before he marries is pretty sure to get the worst of the deal. Young, pretty, charming girls aren’t looking for old bachlors anyway, aren’t loving them, any more than your kind nre looking for old maids. There’s no doubt about it, Billy,' I said. You're the last fel low I'd like to see follow my example. You ought to get married.’ "Well, we had quite a talk on the subject. Billy had it all figured out, what he could do and what he was go ing to do. lie said his Income was only large enough to support hlmseir in the style to which he had become accustomed: that a little more income would mean a little more style, so to speak, because he had no Intention of stinting himself in the various per qulsits and luxuries of a gentleman, as he viewed them; that he didn't see how he was ever going to be able to support a wife and family in the way he considered desirable for his wife and family; and that the girl he blessed with his name would have to be able to maintain herself, her chil dren and the menage without drawing on him." "Excellent," said the second man. “How manly of him not to plan for his maintenance at her expense, too.” "Oh, that’s Billy,” said the first, i laughing again "Ha had a system ol ethics all his own. And don't think for a moment that Billy was going to pursue any petticoat that was fringed with gold pieces. He said there were lovely women with money as well as without It, and it would be only one of these for him. Lord, Billy Is too much of an artist to live with a homely wom an. I never saw him with one who wouldn't make any escort proud.” "I tell you, Billy Is a born captlva tor of the ladies! He knew he could do all he said. I'd bet within an ace of all 1 possess that this Syracuse girl Is a dashing young woman. I’d trust Billy to pick out one for me!” "Syracuse girl,” Is she?” the second man asked. "I’m sorry for her. 1 never did think much of Billy, and after what you've told me, I consider him the most cold-blooded, conctltfcd, full fledged cad—” "Oh, pshaw!” the first exclaimed, with the same easy laugh of enjoy ment. "It's a question what any girl is going to get In marriage. The girl who gets Billy will be the envy of her tribe. He'll stick to her, you know. There isn’t a serious fault in his make-up.” ‘1 disagree with you," said the other man. Mildred heard their chairs pushed hack from tho table, heard their re treating footsteps, heard, last of all, the pleasant, diminishing laugh of the bachelor who had endeavored to per suade Billy not to follow his example. The waiter had removed the con sommb, which mademoiselle had evi dently dnly cared to taste; and the rest of the light, repast she had or dered was still before her. She tried for appearance’s sake to eat, but the effort of swallowing was too hard. So that had been Billy’s determina tion, which he had carried out—open ly discussed among his friends—men! Billy had picked her out as nearest lo his Ideal, among the moneyed ones, and had won her—won her! It was bitter. And all of it was gossip among his friends. They were even ready to lay wagers upon her qualifications. Mildred stared into the box hedge with an intensity that made her face look cruel. She was thinking, with terrible, definite accuracy, before her heart should begin to live again, and her brain to feel rather than, to rea son. After a while, she raised her head. She felt desperately that she must get to 6ome place where she could cry her agony or that her heart would burst with pain, and she strug gled to her feet. “I will say to him,’’ she told herself In a gasping, half-uttered whisper, “ail that I know; and that I despise him. Oh, I am so glad that I found out In time—So glad! So glad!” With a swift realization that her condition was becoming almost hys terical and therefore noticeable, she made a tremendous effort to be calm, resumed the seat which the obse queous waiter had already drawn away, and with trembling finger pulled on her gloves. She saw that some one was ap proaching the table, probably the wait er bringing change—Mildred had nearly forgotten to pay her bill. The person stood beside her, but she did not look up, knowing that her eyes were blinded with tears. "Mildred,” said a voice, deep and beautiful to her ear as the music of a low cord. Her hands dropped nervelessly into her lap. The man seated himself opposite her and leaned across the table. “Mildred, dear,” he said, "what is : the matter? Look at me.” "What is the matter?’’ she felt her self answering, though the words never left her throat. “You are base. I know you. and I despise you.” "My dear girl,” he was saying, in a tone of concern. “Are you ill? You look all in. Do speak to me. I haven't offended you by coming in, have 1? I was passing in a cab and caught a glimpse of you above the wall. I would know the turn of your head anywhere, If I snw it for a sec ond.” His tone changed now to one she knew so well, that made the pulses hammer in her ears. “You can’t be angry with me for stopping instantly and coming it. Just tor a word with ; you—one look from your eyes— | Mildred.” She grew steadier and raised her eyes, to give him one look, though not the look he craved; but when she met his eyes, deep-blue, so near to hers, so eloquent, her lids dropped again, and when once more they were raised, her eyes were overflowing with tears. She only looked at him, at his clean-cut, masterful face, his fine shoulders, his perfect clothes, his strong, well-kept hand, and again his eyes. "You are tired out, beloved, from shopping,” he said. "I am going to take you home.” Unresisting, Mildred let him take her away, dimly conscious that every woman on the terrace was noting his perfect chivalry of manner, feeling that she wished she hated it. lie put her into the cab, swung into place beside her, and as the vehicle started ofT on its usual jog, he drew one of her hands into his and held it there, low so that no one could see. Hilly looker straight ahead, for he was not one to exhibit love making in a conspicuous place, in the daylight; but he held her hand in a clasp that seemed to make an electric circuit of their two arms. "Say that you love me, Mildred.” he said. Twice she tried to answer him, but her voice broke and she could not. She had known the happy triumph of conquest, the sweetness of surrender, but until now she had not known the weakness, the helplessness of love. With quivering lips, she said: "l love you, Billy.” Kirschbaum Clothes"! ALL WOOL HAND T.A1LPWPD 1 From the reproduction in oil of the Cafe de la Paix, on the Boulevard des Capucines, Paris.
