When I arrived nt the station Lady
Manuiu.'xton, Molly and the French
maid had collected their ehnttols and
stool round tho immense heap, in at
titudes denoting vivious degrees of im
patience. I apologized.
"It is of no consequence," said
T.a ly Mnnnitigton.ui a tone signifying
it win of the greatest. Molly shook
licr head ut mo and smiled.
I 1 , ked at the two ladies and the
French maid, and then Hooked at tho
miniature mountain.
"The lvniiorham is only seated for
two," I hinted.
"Celeste can wll;,"said Lady Man
ninctou. "I ahull b. clad of her company," I
responded, politely.
Lady Manniu'jton glanced at me
doubtfully. "Perhaps fdio could
manage by tho coachman," rho sng
pesied. "His wife h most pnrticular," I iu
Jrvposed, (ptickly.
'T siioul I prefer to walk, mamma,"
paid Moby, vi;h nu nir of much good

"iYihap-". that w ill behest," Lady
Manniiigt.jn conccled, reluctantly.
"I tin sure of i'," I indorsed, heart

ngsrievediy.
"It wa niel careless of her," I ad
mitted in-i.tnt y. I caught Molly's
eye. She h i- a curious way of smil-
11!;;' (it 'O'lhilOi.
So Molly and I stilted to walk over
the cii-p mi .lust outside the sta
tion I he'ij't-1 her over t:ie stile. "Wo
may n well t-ik.? ihe short cut," I ob
rjor'ved: "it 1 not ho very much
longer, and I have s much to say to
you."

I hwPtta'l. "J:ii about a friend
of mine." I replied at long h.
'Oh!"
"ilei' i i the deuce of n mess," I
bfgan. eonli'lc.itiiilly. 'T want your

"What can I do?" asked Molly,

"Von fii i r Ivi.'o in"." I repliod.tak

Molly was pl"a-ed. 'Mo on, Mr.

"I fear oil will tl.iuk lay friend

fully. Very likely," replied Molly, indif
ferently. "t n's'-ure you lie has many good
point?; but it 'happened girl wanted
to mnrvy him."
"Wiint!" exclaimed Molly.
"F can't think w hat she saw in him,"
I repliel, iiiieoinfoj tnbly.
"f hoji," said Molly, "you are not
poing to tell mc anything that is not
proper."
"Oh, no," 1 replied, earnestly. 'The,
g'rl wns quite respectable. All the
parties are mo t respectable."
"She could not have beeu quilo
nice," Paid Molly, decisively.
I stopped to test the strength of the
i?e over a pool.
"I have seen h' t lo k quite nice," I
remarked, thought f illy.
"lion know her?" aked Molly,
quickly.
"Oil. ye. It wasn't really the girl
who warned to lU'iy my friend; it
was her mother. I mean the mother
wanted the girl to marry my friend, f
ho)'0 I mako myself clear."
"J don't think that improves mat
ters," retorted Molly.
"She has a large family of daugh
ters." I explained.
"(io on," said Molly, with n severe
ly judicial nir.
'My friend was in love with another
girl 11 really nice girl. In fact, n
(pute splendid girl. One of the very

"You know that girl, too?" asked
Iollv, a little coldly.
"Ve es."
"Well?"
"My friend wns stauug at a conn

"Who?" asked Molly.
"The Riil whoso mo: her wanted her

She got him into 11 quiet corner ami

"flow clever of your friend to find

I wen' on hastily "And then he
shw her head coming nearer and near

what to do."
"I wonder." said Molly, "he did not
call for hel ."
"1011 see," 1 went 011, "he was
afraid she would propose or or the

he was already engaged."
"Did ho say 'already?'"

mopped my brow with my handker-
Molly uttered n peal of ailvery
laughter. "I am really sorry fur that
girl, but it served her right."
"The girl didn't turn a hair. She
simply straightened herself up aud
asked to whom ho was engaged."
"Well?"
"He blurted out the name of the
other girl. He couldn't think of any
other name."
"To whom, of course, he is not en
gaged?" ' No; and I don't suppose she would
have hint. She is far, far too good for
him."
"Is that your whole story?"
"Very nearly. The girl went away
and told her mother, w ho came up
gtishinglyand congratulated him. Sim
is a true .sportswoman. Afterward she
went about telling everybody cf the
I engagement, and my friend has had to
reeeivcougratiilations ever since.
"How awkward!" said Molly, mcdi
tativclv. "lias the other girl heard of
it?"
"Not yet. This all happened yes
terday." "Yesterday?"
1 nodded. "And tho worst is the
other girl is expeete I to arrive at tho
Towers almost immediately."
"Dear me," said Molly. "So your
fiiend is nt tho Towers now?"
"J didn't mean to let it, out," I re
plied, a tritlo abashed.
Molly began to lnutrh. "It is most
amusing; but why did yon tell me
about it?"
"I want your advice."'
"Who is the other girl?" asked
Molly, curiously.
"Please don't ask for names," I im
plored. "But my advice must depend ou the !
other giil'a disposition."
I "She is everything that is perfect," I
I replied, fervently.
"Xo doubt," retorted Mollv, satir- I
j ienlly. ' J
i "You might, almost be tho other j

that must bo considered a compli
j ment. Thank you very much." m
j "What," I asked, villi elaborate in-
ditl'erenee, "would you do if vott wcro
the other girl?"
Molly stopped iiud broke off a sprig
of red berries. They were not so red
as her lips. "Of course," sho said,
"I should bo very annoyed."
"Ah, of course," said I, forlornly.
"At any rate.I should pretend to bo
very annoyed."
"But really " I began, delighted.
"Oh, thnt would depend ou the

"Supposing, for the smko of illustra

'This is nonsense." said Molly.
"Wo can't make beliovo to that ex

"You would never be so foolish."

' lint my poor friend it deluding
011 me for advice."
She thought. "Of course your
friend must yet away from tho Tow.
cr before the other girl arrives."
"You nre quite clear he ought to
get away?" I asked, mournfully.
"There can bo 110 doubt of that.
Just fancy everybody rushing trt con
gratulate tho other girl and your friend
being present nt tho time. Thero
might be a dreadful scene."
"I can picture it," said T, repressing
a groan.
We had arrive I at the entrance to
the avenue. I stopped and held out
inv hand.
"Good by," I said.
"W'hnt do you meanV" she ex
claimed. "I I am going away. I am the
man."
1 do not think 1 am lnistakfu. The
color faded slightly from her face.
"And the other girl?" sho queried,
faintly.
"You nre the other girl."
The red replaced the while. She
stood tiite still, w ith her eyes bent
downward, and then she began to
trace figures in the snow w ith tho too
of her tmy boot.
"Good by," 1 repeated.
She looked up. "Of course, 1 am
very angry." she said. And then sho
smiled and held out her hand. I look

"Mamma w ill bo getting anxious,"
she remarked. "We must hurry."

He was a telegraph operator, and a
good one, but he wasn't iu favor with
tho chief. In fact, tho ohiet doosu't

boys. Ho was disposed to bo sharp
and quick with them, and telegraph
operatois are a sensitive lot.
There was a vacant room that hadn't
been occupied for a long timo and the
chief one day took posscssi on of it as

with a towol in his hands. Thou he
saw the look of horror on his com- '

doomed.
As ho stepped from the washroom i
with a jaunty air ho met tho chief. j
"I suppose," said the hitter, "you '
aro ready to express your personal j
opinions in public as well as bohind j
your victim's brick ?"
The operator never wavered n hair's '
breadth,
"I am," ho said, smilingly; ''and T
can add a little to what 1 have already
said." Aril with that he expressed his
