"What i.lhe matter. Miss Helen?"
"Matter? N'othiny' t'an't mie think

The P'ntleinan -darted at her ear

"Yes."
"Well. then. Mr. Ashland, what

"Oh, yes, alioveall things."
"I was thinking of that fircat Imdy

indeed very strange, very grand, and
very beautiful.
"And yet it ever tells tho same.

"Yes."
Helen Lehman turned with an ex
pression in her dark eyes, w hich siioke:
"What a stupid creature:"
She modified her meaning to:
"Mr. Ashland, you have not. heard a
word."
"(Hi, 'pon my lionor. Miss Helen, 1
lieard every syllable! Don't you think

"Hot? Very comfortable, I was
thinking."
"ISless me, I am unite baked."
" Then let us go to the hotel."
The gentleman arose with alacrity,
but as he walked along he felt uneasy,
for he w as not quite sure that he had
pleased the lady, and rather than dis
please he wnnft have willingly sat
upon the hot rock fur another hour
and suffered without ft murmur.
Mr. Ashland was in love with Miws
Helen Lehman. ; 1 1 I had been a jn-rb-et
slave to her caprice all the summer.

must keep his i yes on a certain man
whom I designate by brushing on the

I enter a place, and as the man comes
out I pretend to see a bug oil his shoul
