"I want to know if you think to!"
exclaimed Nannie, with a defiant to
of her hod. She had felt whnt was

hnt pho had been to blamo. "I wasn't
ware that I had 'rant with a change,'
as Deacon Suyder Rays."

Why, Nunnio, you hardly peaU tome,

"Just hear that!" cried Nannie, to
rome invisible person. "Hardly spoak
to you, indcel ! I'm sure I've t-pokeu
10 you as oftou an you have epoken to

"Well, yce, that may be," admitted
Dick. "Hut, you cec, Nannie, I didn't
feel like talking, when f didn't know
8 vou wanted in to tnlk to you. It
eemod us if you'd rather listen to Mr.
Wayne."
"It feems that you're n kind of jeal
ous of Mr. Wnyiie," paid Nunnio, fad

"Well, thut may he," caid Pn-k.
"Oranting that it is so, Nanmo,
haven't I a right to beV"
"Not that I know of," amwoied
Kanuie.
"liofoie he i-amo I supposed it oi
understood between us that wo wwh

"PersoiiH hnvrn't any right t- tuki
it for granted that anything is under
htood," responded Nunnie, tartly.
"You never asked me to many you,
that I remember of."
"Ferhaps I was wrong in not saying
in so many words what it seemed to
me you understood well eit.iuli,"
answered Dick. "It seemed haidly
necessary, However, it isn't too In'
to ask the nuention now, is it Nannie?"
"I don't know wlmt you're hiiitiui;
at," said Nannie, beginning to ',U'T, a
tune, and eonocntratinz her attention
on the ru'llen of a pillow-case.
"Jiibt this," said Pick. "That I
love you anl want you to marry i.ie.
Will you?"
"Why, Dick, how abrupt you are!"
ixclaimed Nunnie. "I don't want to
Marry you or any one else yet
awhile."
"Don't keep af)llow waiting to know
the worst or the best," paid Dick, im
patiently. "Is it yds or no, Naunio?"
"I I like you pretty well, "answered
Nannie, "hut I don't wa-.it to settle
down to wmhing dishes and sweeping
floors aid cooking tilings to eat three
times a day, nad nothing else from
morning till night, for a long time yet.
I want to seo a little of the world. I
am going to coax father to let rno go to

"Hang Lucindy Smith!" cx'iai-n.vl
Dick, beginning to lose his temper.
"Yes or no, Nannie?"
"No, then," answered Nannie, her
temper rising in opposition to Di-.-k's.
"That's th wiiy to talk," cried
Pick. "Suv -what vou mean, souare
Ati.. D.n. don't waste words beating
about the bush, even if it does hurt u!
fellow a little to hear it." !
He got up, took his hat down from i
its peg by the cloor mi l went out,
"I I 'hop you - Vt blame me, j
Diok," said Nannie, following him to !
the door, feeling as if sha would like I
to cry, and, at the same time, piut'y .
angry.
"Yes, I do," answered Pick. "I I
have reason to, too, 101 1 you know it
as well as I lo. But we won't talk
about it. It's over aj I done with."
Thon he turned oii'l walked down

A week weut by.
At the end of thst time Nannie had
rome to the oonolusiou, from Dick's
aetions, that he considered everything
at au end between thorn, as he hal
said. He spoke to her pleasautly
enough, when he spoke at all. He
did not seem to try to avoid her, but
there was a sense of distance between
them which made her feel that he wat
more like a htrunger than tho Dick
Brayton she had known. That Dick
was gone. This one was like him,
and reminded ber of him in many

The Cure of Women'. Hair.
To keep the hair in good condition
I it is absolutely necessary not only to
Uusli it with clean brushes mid great
regularity, bat certainly once in two
wueks to give u a thorough shampoo-
1 that every particle of dust may
look of the hair, nud its beautiful
gloss alter being shampooed, shows
how grateful ib is for the trectment
given it. Experience, though some
times a tirenomo teacher, has taught
ine that the best way to cleanse the
scalp aud the hair is to ure very hot
water made "eoap-sn Jy" with tar eoap;
uso a nail-brush, upon -which the soap
has been rnbbed, to scrub the scalp
thoroughly, and every part cf the
