Before she bad in the least righted
herself there -was another knock at
tbe half opened door, and Mr. Des-
londe walked in. v;. ' .xv jx,,,;
Mr- Paul Deslonde was the , most
elegantly dressed 'man of, Hesaie's
acrjuamtaace. He was xvery hand
some, his manner was faultless, f 1
bbe bad always stood a - little xn
e of him.; Jadge, then of her sur

her little sitting room and t chatted
easily for an half An hour, he jrery
grauefolly made a "proposal of mar

'My father wants me to marry,' and
being usually arbitrary, I am exceed
ingly grateful to him that he does not
insist on making the ,' choice for 1 ma,
bat leaves me- free to please myself.
And this is no sudden fancy. I have
known you long, and admiration has
ripened into esteem. Will you lake
my proposal " iato . coosideraiinT,
Hessie caught her breath. 1 She look
the very pretty ! with ,-the ' maidenly
reserve mantling . her ; features, ;j. the
long, bark lashes shading the, pare
cheek; but these words brought such
a bewildering ista' of the ' Deslonde
mansion where a home was " offered
her, that she was all in a whirl. 1
I will take your offer into considera
tion, Mr. Deslonde,'. she -syllabled
mechanically. ! 1
She felt entirely incapable of ! say
icg any more. And then Caddy
came running in - with the ammonia
bottle, and Mr. Deslonde's conversa
tion turned to generalisms, and
then he took his leave. ;
. Nobody will wonder, I think, that
Hessie was very: much excited. It
was not unpleasant excitement, j She
was nattered, she was encourag
ed.. ? ' ' y:' '
Doctor Arthur PeQ was very much
respected, though he was not rich.
Panl i Deslonde was ' very wealthy.
Such a proposal from either was very
reassuring to a poor girl whose face
was her only fortune. Not that Hes
sie was a bit in love with either. 'How
could she be wbeb she toever had
dreamed of marrying either of these
gentlemen t ' it was all so very un
expected! ' ' ;x' '; '
The days and weeks went on. It
was a verr cleasant chancre which
had come to Hessie drives and , vis
its, and flowers sent up to her mod
est little room.
Tbe odors of things brightened
even tbe tedious school boars. : xet,
even when a month had gone ' by.
Hessie had not even approached her
decision, i She posseseed, in her two
suitors, an embarassment of riches.
Tuey were rery different t Paul

so apt with arts and graces, of the

In truth, it was ' Hessie's' peculiar
air of doci'ity and modesty which had
attracted Mr. Deslonde. ' He liked
to1"ruleI' Dr. - Pell was practical,
with an air of reliability about him
which spoke loudly for him to 1 Hes

so vatruet .
- Bat at last came ' the point when
Hessie was able to decide. !
x She was shopping one leisure Sat

make' some purchasers. When the
goods she had ordered were pat up,
a he aat down iu the back of tbe store

let me go to drive the horse for the

goes ahead of the . hearse. They
gave me an old horse that is thirty
years old, that has' not been out of a
walk in rune years, and tbey told me
to "give bun a loose rein, and he
would go along all right. It's , the
same old horse that used to pace so
fat on the avenue,-years ago, but I
didn't know it Well, I wam't to

as though he was hauling saw-dust
and gave him lose rem. w nen we
got off tbe pavement the fellow that

ducks for dinner, and he wanted to
get back, so he kept driving along

boss told ine to walk the horse.
Then the minister he . got nervous,
and said he didn't know as there was
any use of going so slow, because he
wanted to get back in tune to go to
the ministers meeting in the after
noon, but I told him we would all
get in the; cemetery soon enough if

ties the minister business with me.

I want is a quiet party that wants to

and hipped on one foot toward, his
crutches, filling . his' pistol pocket
with figs as he hobbled along. :
"Ibe, next tune I drive a minister

old man' abstractedly to himself,' as
though he never murdered bis pert- .-
