pe would bnvosnid it was
raven'i own fault thai sbo
tli in men. Perhnps some
' i'uve lx > fn right , uad per-
w > u'd .not. However , that
_ tb this story. The
fact is what concerns us. and the fact is
that Florence Craven did not believe in
men. Sbo did not believe much in
women , eitbcr , but that also has noth
ing to do witb this glory. When Flor
ence was ] 8 years old she hnd ideals.
Every woman has ideal * when she is
younp , just us children have mumps.
The cirls usually pot over their idouls
just as successfully as children do over
the mumps , nnd then they settle down
to a substantial basis of fuel and find
that , after all , the world its it Is is a
verv need place quito us good us the
world of imagination.
That is what happens to a girl who
has the ordinary run of ideals. Thefts
usually consist of a man who is a com
bination of Hichard Cueur do Lion ,
Adonis and the lintel Gabriel. That is
the kind of ideal that the uvenigo
younp pirl bet's up for horsolf. It does
not nccui to her at Cr t that inordor to
be fit for the society of such a tnan she
herj-clf oupht to bo a combination of
Joan tf Arc. Venus and Amelia Sedley.
By and by s.he finds out tbat women arc
not built on that sciic , and then she
concludes that man miy bo a little
lower than the anpels and s > till do.
I'lo'cnee Craven , however , did not bo-
pin life with bucb a tremendous demand
on human nature. Her idea of a man
w.is not that he t-hpuld be like Virgil's
Uamo Rumor , with his feet on the
earth and his sublime head amonp the
Pturs. All fcbo as-Iced was that a tnan
ihouid be tall , handsome , strong , kind
of temper , frank , patient , humble ,
earnest , ( sincere , aiTcctionute , in
dustrious , clever with his hands , intel
lectual and passiontitelv in love xvith
her. It was not much for a younp pirl
to ask , and so Florence demanded it
with all her soul and with nil her
Btrenpth. And the firM. thing she
knew the man arrived.
He had the whole of the above cata
logue of qualities except one. He was
not in love with Florence. That , how-
t'ier , did not discoumpo her. She set
out to make him lo\eher. Itwasnta
Bummer resoit tliat the met him. and nt
first he teparded her priphtly allure
ments with a iort of palronizinp sropd
nature , uhich stirred Florence's bpirits
to tlieir depths. She vowed with a deep
determination that she would bring him
to hc-rifcet. Se\cral times he beeined to
be on the point of snyinp t-omothinp
veryjearneft to her , nnd then the amused
look would come uuck into his eyes and
ho would say soinetninp else. This
happened so often that Florence became
fiercely hungry /or that earnest utter-
once which always refused to come.
One nipbt she oven went up to her room
nnd wept bitter tears of vexation , of
course , because he would not sny it.
The next day she fished moro vigorously.
Thov walked , danced , rode together.
The'ctwaips of the hotel tr-arried them
tcguhirly every day. and still ho did not
Bin It. And Florence wished more than
C\ver Trrhimbui' sny it.
' " 'Finally the end"of the season came.
The September brceres whispered
nround tht > corners of the hot-el nnd the
September stars looked down on piles of
trunks ready to be taken away the next
morning. That night ho spoke. Ho
baid he bad been trying to tell her
something all summer , but his courage
hnd failed him every time. He felt that
he hnd not been quite tight in keeping
it to himself so lonp , but ho had made
his summer so pleasant that ho had
really been unable before that minute
to toll her that ho was poinp to be
married tbat winter. His sweetheart
was in Europe nnd would be homo in
Bbout two weeks.
And that w.is the earnest remark of
the- man who was tall , handsome , slronp ,
kind of temper , ot cetera.
Florence tooK it bravely as far as out
ward tippcarances went. She luuched
in hts face und told him that she had
krownit all along. Then &bo wished
hut joy nnd ran upstairs. In the invio
late secrecy of her own ro'irn she fell fiat
on he" face at.d staid there for two
hours. At the end of that time she
arose , looked at herself in the mirror-
uad smiled a mir-eraole smilo. At that
niompnt her idoule went out of the win ,
dow and were olown out to sea by the
west wind. The next day Florence
Craven was. n manhaterand n Dirt of the
most desperate character. For two years
she cut a swath. Her change of heart
was most sincere. She simply despised
men. She took pleasure in transfixing
them with the arrows of love and seeing
them writhe. She hnd ao moro pity
than n seal hunter , nnd she was ns do-
vo'd of sentiment ns Butler's "Anal
ogy. " She never made the slichtest
pretense. She treated all men with sar
castic contempt , and they seemed to like
it. She counted her victims by the
score. ShobroKc up encagements by the
do/.cn. She made regiments of "girls
jealous. She played Venus Victrix to
perfection , and had all the mothers in
society wild with a docire to cast her
Into the bottomless pit
All except one. Mrs. Chubby Soaen
had a daughter who didn't go oil. She
hung fire dreadfully. The only man who
had ever shown a. disposition to gather
her to himself had been switched oil by
the insatiablb Florence Craven , who
wrung his heart dry and then sent him
packing. Then Mrs. C'lmsby Sodon rose
up und sttid :
"Tnat Craven girl has got lobe m r-
ricd , "
The only question was who was to
marry her ? Mrs. Chasby Soden
studied thut problem longund'curcfully ,
nnd finally she cumu to the conclusion
that she knew the mini. Then she cuit
down to study out a plan by which she
could bo led to duvoto herself to Flor
ence and to conquer her. She fpent a
whole morninp in deep thought. At
luncheon she ap ] > aurcd with a severe
headache und a written letter.
"II that doc * , not bring him , ' ' she
paid toJustsolf , "I must Mmply giro It
up. ' '
Jt did bring him. Ho was Jurvis
Mil ray. Mrs. C'hssby Soden's nephew ,
the snn of her oldest brother , now dead.

nlrittof. He got that cut over the

In betting him uftur Florence ,
nnd ho opened up a campaign that for
variety and movement has seldom been
equaled in the history of love.
It beirnn with some masterly inac
tivity. The first thing Jarvis Murray
did was nothing , and bo did it welL He
was'ntroduced to Florence , looked nt
her critically and then walked uwny.
That mnoe Florence angry nnd filled her
with n doi'D detorminatioa to make him
notice her and to her sorrow , of course.
"excellent. " said Mrs. Chasby Sodeu ;
"I should say that the first skirmish is
decidedly in your favor. "
" 1 don't like it , " said Jnrvis Murray ,
reflectively. "Sho is ns beautiful and
bewitching ns you painted her , and
more so. I'd rather Ho right down at
her feet and surrender. "
"And ba laughed nt for your pains ?
No , my denr boy , do just as 1 tell you
nnd the most captivating of girls is
yours. Watoh her for a day or two and
you1' ' ! agree with me that my plan is
the only one that will succeed. "
Jnrvis watched her. He saw her de
liberately draw young Forrest Burnoy
into a proposal and then treat him with
n measureless contempt that sent the
young fellow away heartbroken. If
Jarvis had not boon let into the secret
of Florence's lack of faith in men ho
would have called her hsartless. As it
was ho understood that her heart WAS
exceedingly active and was feeding on
'
its own tltc's. He decided that Mrs. So-
den's plan of campaign was a wise one.
"Set a thief to catch a thief , " ho
mused. "It isn't fair. Mrs. Chasby
Sodcn is an old campaigner. She's up
to every move on the board. Pity that
daughter of hers , my cstimaMo cousin ,
isn't a man. The mater would have had
her married Ions ago. But the Craven
pirl has got the whole field to herself ,
and now that we'ro alone , Jarvis , wo
may as well admit that she deserves it ,
SheV the first girl 1'vu ever been that
I'd like to own. And I'm going to do
t. "
The next day Jarvis Murray treated
Florence Craven with deliberate indif
ference all day. Ho took the trouble to
keep within sound of her voice and sight
of her eyes so as to let her see that he
was indifferent. She tried several
times 10 draw him into conversation , but
he answered in monosyllables nnd then
turned to sportk to another girl. That
night one of the full-dress hops tool ;
place- Right in Iho middle of it Jarvis
Murray shouldered his way through the
crowd of moths around Florence and
said :
"The next is our waltz , I believe ? "
You can't put the assurance of his
manner on paper.
"I think not , " she said.
"You are mistaken , " ho replied , lift
ing her dance card. The dance was not
taken. He calmly wrote his namo. and
"
showed it to her" "You see , it is my
dance. "
At that moment the music begin , and
before Florence could recover her
breath ho ban her floating over the
floor.
"Mr. Murray , " she sain angrily ,
"your impudence "
' "Mv what ? " ho asked , looking in-
tentiy into her eyes.
He knew how to look very hard. Ho
had once looked a mutiny out of counte
nance.
"Your impudence , " she bepan again ,
but he interrupted her.
"A man would dare anything for
you. " he said. Her face flushed and her
eyes sparkled. Jarvis Murray waltzed
like a featherweight angel. He did not
sny another word to her till the end of
the dance. Thun he said :
"Have you another dance left ? "
She had. She had been saving it for
a purpose ; not this purpose , but she
thought now she would lot the other
one go. Do you know what Jarvis did ?
He put his name down for that dance
and went upstairs to bed. She did not
see him till next day. She was weak
enough to take him to task for not ap
pearing to claim his dance. Ho told her
he was sorry she had missed him , and
"
assured hor"it should never occur again.
That made her so angry she would not
speak to him again. Then Jarvis Mur
ray turned his attention to making him
self agreeable to the ladies. He know
how to do it , too. Ho had two dozen
ideas in as may seconds , aud every ono
of his ideas vras fruitful in pleasure to
the women. Ail sought Florence , of
course. She wouldn't speak to him , so
she was left out of his plans She sat
mound the hoJel all the afternoon with
throe or four tall , handsome men who
made love to her to the best of their
ability , while the other girls went sail
ing with Murray and had a glorious
time. Somehow or other her favorite
sport palled on her that afternoon , and ,
01 course , she blamed it all on Murray.
Ho met her face to face in the corridor
as she was going to her room to dress
for dinner. She was going to pass him
in dignified silence , but ho stopped and
held out his hand.
"Won't you forgive me ? " h ? said ,
looking hard at ner.
When he looked like thut , you would
have thought thut bis soul was leaking
out of his eyes.
"Sinco yon are so humble , " she said ,
"I will ; but I think you were very
rude. "
"So do I , " ho said , touching his lips
to the tips of her fingers with n manner
almoit reverential.
Ho passed on , leaving her flustered
and elated. The man hud acted us if ho
thought her a female deity. After thut
he went on all the evening making
things pleasant for all the other girls
und leaving her out. It was enough to
exa perat3 a saint Florence was not u
wiitn. and when she retired to her room
for the night she was about as thor
oughly vexed u woman BS over lived.
She actuttllv broke down nnd had a
good old-fashioned cry.
"I'll fix him , " she said. "I'll not
allow him to treat mo in that stylo. The
first attempt ho makes at impudence to
morrow ends our acquaintance. "
But on the morrow ho was not impu
dent. That was because he hod care
fully observed her face tvtion sno loft
the drawing room tno previous night.
No. ho was anything but impudent. He
devoted himself to her for the whole
day. Ho never left her side. Bathing
and sailing and driving ho was with
her in thum all , und no woman could
have asked for a moro respectful , yet
tender attention.
' 'Vunquis'hod nt lust ! " exclaimed
Florence triumphantly when she hud
gained the seclusion of her apartment
that night.
But ho refused to stay vanquished.
The next day ho devoted himself in pre
cisely the same manner to Mrs. Chasby
Soden's hung-liro daughter. The finest
expert from u medieval court of love
couldn't huvo discovered a shade ot dif-
furouce in the devotion of ibis day and
that of the previous ono. That inado
r'lorunoo wild ; but what could she do ?
That is not the sort of tniag that a girl
can notice. So she had to swallow her
rage and content her elf with tiirling
more de p rntoiy than ever with a tow-
haired gentleman who WUB | Xs.essod of
n T-iwirt and n hyphened name. Sbo
overdid it , howevor. She had one or
tuo outbursts of Uunpors which fright
ened the young man , und ho ran away.
About ihul time she overboard Mrs.
Chubby Sodeu saying to ono of the old
S'oms on the veranda :
"Oh , 'Ob , Jurvis always had a penchant -
chant for his cousin. I shouldn't be
surprised if the unexpected happened
in Hint quarter. "
"So , " thought Florence , "that old
bundle of gossip thinks he's going to
marry her ; > elite. Well , ruther thau
that I'd marry him tnveelf , and 1 hata
him. "
You-soe.Jarvis' campaign was potting
on finely. A man has pot to nriko
*
a pretty serious impression on a pirl
when ho gets her to halo him. I've
always been ol the opinion that between
n younp man and n pirl a goodhotpalpi
tating hatred can pive pity three to ono.
Jarvis had a sneaking notion that she
hated him. and ho liked it. Ho wished
she would say she hated him. She did ,
too. the very next diy. It cnme about
in a very simple way. They were all
down on'the beach. Jarvis insisted that
the sand was damp and that Florence
must not sit on it. You see , it was ono
of his days lor being attentive to her
So ho found a short piece of log- and a
short board. Ho sat thee \ ; up on end
and laid the board on it. There was
room enough for two , so he sat down be
side her. Five minutes later he spranp
up , apparently oblivious of Florence's
existenceto speak to a simpering blonde
noncnity. When ho sprang up. Flor
ence , of course , went over flat on the
sand in about as ridiculous a way as you
can perceive. She was so angry she
could hardly speak. She would not
allow Jarvis to assist her to rise. Ho
apologized very properly , but not very
enthusiastically.
"Don't mention it , " she said ; and than
added in an aside : "I hate you ! "
Murray really appeared to turn pale.
"Do you mean that ? * ' he said in n low
tone , looking at her with a soul-leaking
look.
"Yes , I do , " she answered resolutely.
Tbat man's eyes ttotuully filled with
toars. He gave her one heartbroken
glance ; then walked slowly away and
sat down beside .mother girL
While he was looking into her eyes
Florence felt that she could forgive him
anything. When she snt down beside
the other girl ho wished she could run
a knife through both of them. What
was u girl to do with such a muni Flor
ence did not-know what to make of him.
Ho troubled her mightily. He kept her
in a perpetual state of change , from
storm to sunshine and back again , like
a hot August day with a south west wind.
"How do you like itV" said Mrs.
Cha-by Soden to Jarvis Murray.
"I like H and I don't like it. I feel
like a casebardened brute when T treat
her so baJlv. But it's going to work. ' "
"And you'll stick to it : " '
"Yes , " he saia , grimly ; "I love her. ' '
"Mts. Chasby Soden went oil into a
corner , and patted herself on the back.
When she saw her daughter she
astonished that damp-powder young
ladv with a spontaneous kiss.
That night Florence Craven made a
discovery. She discovered that Eho was
anxious. She called it "interested. "
But she was anxious to know what Mur
ray meant Up to the present time she
had been unable to telL The man WAS
a puzzle to her nnd she wished to solve
him. The question was , how was it to
bo dona Sometimes she thought he
loved her. When he looked ut her with
the soul-leaking look she could have
sworn it. But she remembered that she
had no faith in men. So why should she
believe in him ? But still she'd like to
know. She decided that the only plan
was to do something desperate.
The next day the went in bathing just
as everyone else was going out. Murray
stood oh the end of the pier and watched
her dive ou" . Sno was an expert swim
mer. She swam straight out from the
shore , and when she was forty or fifty
yards from tbo end of the pier she
turned over on her back and floited like
a nymph. Murray sturtod to walk away.
Then she thew up her arms , uttered a
scream and weut down. Of course Mur
ray bit. Ho wasn't going to stand by
and see her drown. Ho * must have
cleared twenty feet in his flying dive off
the pier. He was ( it her side in a few
seconds.
"I'm all right now. " she said pant
ing. "It was just a momentary cramp. "
' 'You're not ull right and you're com
ing ashore with rne. Float. "
She floated , and with one arm under
her ho swam toward the pier with her
"What made you jump in after me'J"
she said.
"Do you think I'd see anything hap
pen to you while the breath of life was
in my nostrils ? "
A great thrill of jo.v swept through
Florence. It was the first time a great
thrill of joy hud been caused in her by
a man binco the era of the tall , hand
some , strong , et cetera. She did netlike
like it , on second thought.It fright
ened her. Sbo escaj > od from him as
soon as possible when she reached the
shore. That night Mrs. Chnsby Soden
played her right bower. She watched
till she saw Florence sitting on the ver
anda just outside a window. Then she'
went up to one of the old Noms , who
was sitting just inside the same window ,
and said :
"Do you know , I really believe that
Jarvis has proposed to Nellie ? I saw
them in a corner and ho was holding. ' '
her hand and talking passionately t
her. I stole away , and they didn't se
me. "
Florence did not know how she g <
out ol her chair , but she was some di
tance away from thut window when si.
recovered her self control. Then slit
stood still and clasped her hands Grei *
heaven ! Why did she feel that wnj
What diflorence did it make to 1
whether Jarvis Murray proposed
Nellie Soden or not ? At tnat momet
the raisecant : catne to hor.
"I'vo been looking for you , " ho sa.
"I don't believe you , " oho answer- ,
Ho calmly took possession of her fn
and walked uway with it She irleljfio
free herself.
"Don't be ridiculous. " he said , j ' t
"I won't stand it , " she exclac tId. .
"You are in.sullorably impudent , j Jou
treat me as if I were your property1' ; '
"After pulling you out of the w VXI
feel a sort of personal interest in .
"You didn't jiull me out of the wattlr , "
she answered , losing her mental k'lil- '
ance. 'There was nothing the mtijler
with mo at all. "
Ho stopped short nnd looked her in
the eyes. "Honor bright ? "
"Honor fiddlesticks ! " [
"And you did that just to see whoior
would try to save you ?
"Yej. I no. what nonsense. I did it
just just for fun. " \
Ho lot go of her arm and took bjth
her hitncs. "Florence , will you be mv
wife ? "
"How dare you. sir ! How many girls
do you propose to in ono evening' ) " '
"Some one has been slandering mo.
I have never proposed to any other wo
man , nnd I never shall. "
Oh , wasn't she glad to hear that. And
the believed it without n moraont't hes
itation.
"You havon't answered mv question , "
ho said : "Will you bo my wife ? "
"What for ? "
"Booauso I love vou. "
"No ! "
That.was her little triumph. Ho had
made lior fool miserable so often , and
now ho hnd her chunoe to bo oven with
him. So slit ) bald ' 'no , " uud thou wuitoil.
And what do you think ho did ? Dropped
her handbund walked away without an
other word.
The next day ho met her and treated
her as if no wordot love had over passed
between them. It was simply incompre
hensible. Auy other man would huvo
pone away , or hung oil in the dUUinca
Hnd looked miserable , or proposed again ,
but tbitf ono did nouo of tbeso thing * ,
and ho never loft tier stda Ho did not
Ugh. Ho did not look miserable. Ho
looked rather contented thuu otherwise.
And ho was simp j Knightly in his at
tentions. Ho not only fathomed her
thoughts nnd exited her commands
before she uttered them , but ho fre
quently know just what she wished
when she was not quite sure of it her
self. The result was inevitable. There
never was a pirl who couid be comfort
able in the presence of n newly-rejected
suitor , and the p < vu.iar conduct of this
ono was enough 10 * et a girl mad. Flor
ence was so uptt't t J' il that she tried to

she actually felt 'foamed of herself. Ho

Soden about it. Attain she went off in a
corner and piittoJ lioraolf on the back.
Jarvis Murraj h'pt it up for n week.
'
He was gentle' hindMender and manly
in his treatment of Florence. Ho neither
said nor did anirore 'rlidc , > things. He
enfolded her in lu * protection , llo per
petually fanned her nostrils with the in
cense of his dt'e'tion. But of love ho
spoke no word/.o-i / tnadft no sign. At the
