I'm glad you're going to be gay," he said, not seeing the faintly bitter Kinlle that came to her face. "I don't think I'll be very gay," she answered. "I don't know why I go. Nobody ever asks me to dance." "Why not?" he asked, with an old man's astonishment. "I don't know. Perhaps it's because I don't dress very well." Then, as he mode a sorrowful gesture, she cut him off before ho could speak. "Oh, It Isn't altogether because we're poor. It's more I don't know how to wear what I've got, the way some girls do.

"I think I'd better come for you." he answered gently. "The truth Is, I-I think you'd better not be with Joe Louden a great deal." "Why?" "Well, he doesn't seem a vicious boy to me, but I'm afraid he's getting rather a bad name, my dear." "He's no getting one," she said gravely. "He's already got one. He's could hare got to VarU lor Jut one month " had a bad name In Cnnnnu for a long while.

He's not any worse than I om, and I guess my owu uame Isn't too good for a girl. And yet, so fur, there's nothing against him except his bad name." "I'm ufraid there Is," said Roger. "It doesn't look very well for a young man of his age to be doing uo better than delivering papers." "It gives him time to study law," she answered quickly. "If ho clerked all day In n store he couldn't." "I didn't know he was studying now. I thought I d henrd that be was In a lawyer's office for a few weeks last year and was turned out for setting fire to it with a pipe "It was an accldeut." she interposed. "But some pretty Important papers were burned, and after that none of the other lawyers would have him." "He's not In nu olllce," she admit ted. VI didn't mean that But he studies a great deal. He goes to the courts nil the time they're In session, and he's bought some books of his own" . ... "Well, perhaps," he assented, but they say he gambles and drinks and that last week Judge Tike threatened to have him arrested for throwing dice with some negroes behind the Judge's stable." What of it? I'm about the ouly nice person In town that will have anything to do with him-and nobody except you thinks I'm very nice!" "Ariel! Ariel!" "I know all about his gambling with darkles," she continued excitedly, her voice rising, "and I know that he goes to saloons and that he's an Intimate friend of half the riffraff in town. And I know the reason for it too. because he's told me. He wants to know them, to understand them, and he says some day they'll make him a power, and then he can help them!" The old man laughed helplessly. "But I can t let him bring you borne, my dear." She came to him slowly and laid ber hands upon his shoulders. Crandfa ther and granddaughter were nearly of the same height and she looked squarely Into bis eyes. "Then you must say It Is because yon want to come for me, not because I mustnt come with Joe." "But I think It is a little because yon mustn't come with Joe." be answered, "especially from the Pikes'. Don t yon aee that It mightn't be well for Joe himself If the Judge should happen to see him? I understand he warned the boy to keep away from the neighbor hood entirely or he would have him locked up for dice throwing. The judge Is a very Influential man, yo know, and as determined In matters like this as he is Irritable." -on, ir you put it ou that ground," the girl replied, her eyes softening. "I think you'd better come for me your self." "Very well, I put It on that ground," he returned, smiling upon her. "Then I'll send Joe word and get supper," she said, kissing him. It was the supper hour not only for them, but everywhere In Canaan, and . the cold air of the streets bore up and ! down and oround corners the smell of j things frying. The dining room win l dows of all the houses threw bright patch's on the snow of the side yards. Tho windows of other rooms, except those of the kitchens, were dark, for the rule of the place was Puritanical In thrift as In all things, and the good housekeepers disputed every record of the meters with unhappy gas collectors. There was no better housekeeper In town than Mrs. Louden, nor a thriftier, but hers was one of the few houses In yOnaan that evening which showed Aright lights in the front rooms while the family were at supper. It was proof of the agitation caused by the arrival ot Eugene that she forgot to turn out the gns In her parlor and in the chamber she called a library on her way to the evening meal. Joe escaped as soon as he could, though not before the count of his lat er sins had been set before Eugene in detail, In mass and In all of their depth, breadth and thickness. Ills father spoke but once after nodding heavily to con firm all points of Mrs. Loudeu's re cital. "You better use any Influence you've got with your brother," he said to Eu gene, "to make him come to time. I can't do anything with him. If he gets In trouble, ho needn't come to me! I'll never help him again. I'm tired of it!" Joe's movements throughout the ear lier part of that evening are of uncer tain report. It Is known that he made a partial payment of 43 cents at a sec ondhand book store for a number of volumes, "Grindstaff on Torts" nnd some others, which he had negotiated on the Installment system. It is also believed that he won 28 cents playing seven-up In the little room behind Louie Farbach's bar, but these tilings are of little import compared to the established fact that at 11 o'clock lie was one of the ball guests at the Pike mansion. He took no nctive part lu the festivities, nor was he one of the dancers. His was, ou the contrary, the role of a quiet observer. He lay stretched at full length upon the fioor of the Inclosed porch one of the strips of canvas was later found to have been loosened wedged between the outer railing and a row of palms in green tubs. It was not to play eavesdropper that the uninvited Joe had come. He was not there to listen, and It Is possible that had the curtains of other windows afforded him the chance to behold the dance he might not have risked the dangers of his present posltiou. He had not the slightest luterest In the whispered coquetries that he heard. He watched ouly to catch now and then over the shoulders of the dancers a fitful glimpse of a pretty head that flitted across the window the amber hair of Mamie Pike. He shivered lu the drafts, and the floor of the porch was cement, painful to elbow and knee, the space where he lay cramped and narrow, but the golden bubbles of her hair, the shimmer of her dainty pink dress and the fluffy wave of her lace scarf as she crossed and recrossed In a waltz left him apparently In no discontent He watched with parted lips. Ills pale cheeks reddeuing when ever those fair glimpses were his. At last she came out to the veranda with Eugene and sat upon a little divan, so close to Joe that daring wildly in the shadow, he reached out a trembling hand and let his fingers rest upon the end of her scarf, which had fallen from her shoulders and touched the floor. She sat with her back to him, as did Eugene. "You have changed, I think, since last summer," he heard her say reflec tively. "For the worse, ma cherle?" Joe's expression might have been worth see ing when Eugene said "ma cherle." for It was known In the Louden household that Mr. Bantry had failed to pass his examination In the French language. "No," she answered. "But you have seen so much and accomplished so much since then. You have become so polished and so" She paused and then continued: "But perhaps I'd bet ter not say It. You might be offended." "No. I want you to say It" he re turned confidently, and his confidence was fully Justified, for she said: "Well, then, I mean that you have become so thoroughly a man of the world. Now I've said It! You are of fended, aren't you?" "Not at all; not at all," replied Mr. Bantry, preventing by a masterful ef fort his pleasure from showing In his face. "Then I'm glad," she whispered, and Joe saw his stepbrother touch her hand, but she rose quickly. "There's the music," she cried happily. "It's a waits, and It's yours." Joe heard ber little high heels tap ping gayly toward the window, follow ed by the heavier tread of Eugene, but he did not watch them go. He lay on his back, with the hand that had touched Mamie's scarf press ed across his closed eyes. The music of the waltx was of the old fashioned swinglngly sorrowful sort and It would be hard to say how long it was after that before he could hear the air played without a recurrence of the bitterness of that moment The rhythmical pathos of the violins was In such accord with a faint sound of weeping which be beard near him presently that for a little while he be lieved this sound to be part of the mu sic sad part of himself. Then It be came more distinct and he. raised him- self on oue elbow to "Took about. Very close to him, sitting upon the divan In the shadow, was a girl wear ing a dress of beautiful silk. She was crying softly, her face In her bunds. CHAPTER IV. II T.IEL had worked all the after- noon over her mother's wed- ding gown, and two hours V were required by her toilet for the dance. She curled her hair frlzzlly, burning it here and there, with a slate pencil heated over a lump chimney, and she placed above one ear three or four large artificial roses, taken from an old bat of her mother's, which she bad found In a trunk In tho storeroom. Possessing no slippers, she carefully blacked and polished her shoes, which had been clumsily resoled, nnd fasten ed Into the strings of each small rosettes of red ribbon, after which she practiced swinging the train of her skirt until she was proud of her ma nipulation of It. She had no powder, but found In ber grandfather's room a lump of magnesia that he was in the habit of taking for heartburn and pass ed It over and over her brown face and hands. Then a lingering gaze Into her small mirror gave her Joy ot last. She yearned so hard to see herself charm ing that she did see herself so. Ad miration came, and she told herself that she was more attractive to look at than she had ever been in ber life and that perhaps at Inst she might begin to be sought for like other girls. It was in the Pike dressing room that the change began to come. There was a big chcvnl glass at one end of the room, and she faced It when her turn came for the mirror was popular with a sinking spirit. There was the contrast, like a picture painted nnd framed. The other girls all wore their hair after the fashion introduced to Canaan by Mamie Pike the week be fore ou her return from a visit to Chi cago. None of them had "crimped" and none had bedecked their tresses with artificial flowers. Her alterations of the wedding dress had not been suc cessful; the skirt was too short in front and higher on one side than on the oth er, showing too plainly the heavy soled shoes, which had lost their polish to the walk through the snow. The ribbon ro settes were fully revealed, and as she gin need at their reflection she beard the words, "Look at that train and those rosettes!" whispered behind her and saw In the mirror two pretty young women turn away with their handkerchiefs over their mouths and retreat hurriedly to an alcove. All the feet in the room except Ariel's were in dainty kid or sutin slippers of the color of the dresses from which they glim mered out, and only Ariel wore a train. She went away from the mirror and pretended to be busy with a hanging thread in her sleeve. Ariel sat In one of the chairs against the wall and watched the dancers with a smile of eager and benevolent Inter est. In Canaan no parents, no guard ians, no aunts were haled forth o' nights to duenna the Junketings of youth. Ariel sat conspicuously alone. There was nothing else for her to do. It was not an easy matter. Once or twice between the dances she saw Miss Pike speak appealiugly to one of the superfluous, glancing at the same time lu her owu direction, and Ariel could see, too, that the appeal proved unsuccessful, until at last Ma mie approached her leading Norbert Flltcroft partly by the hand, partly by will power. Norbert was an excessively fat boy and at the present moment looked as patient as the blind. But he asked Ariel if she was "engaged for the aext dance" and, Mamie having flitted away, stood disconsolately be side her waiting for the music to begin. Ariel was grateful for him. The orchestra flourished Into "La Paloma;" he put his arm mournfully about her and, .taking her right hand with his left carried her arm out to a rigid right angle, begluulug to pump and balance for time. They made three false starts and then got away. Ariel danced badly; she bopped and lost the step, but they persevered, bumping against other couples contin ually. She caught her partner making a burlesque face ot suffering over her shoulder and, turning her head quick ly, saw for whose benefit be had con structed it Eugene Bantry, flying ex pertly by with Mamie, was bestowing upon Mr. Flitcroft a condescendingly commiserative wink. The next In stant she tripped In ber train and fell to the floor at Eugene's feet carrying her partuer with her. There was a shout of laughter. The young hostess stopped Eugene, who would have gone on, and he had no choice but to stoop to Ariel's assist ance. "It seems to be a bablt of mine," she said, laughing loudly. She did not appear to see the hand he offered, but got to her feet with out help and walked quickly away with Norbert who proceeded to live up to the character he had given him self.

Jeems tuck the waggin an' the hull family awl except Calip he went in the buggy an' tuck his gal. It wuz childrin's day, but the ole folks didn't stand back much, an' mi stars! sith a crowd 'at wuz thare. That's a mitey prosperiferous naber-" hood: corn, wheat, ri, cotton, an' babies air the cheaf produckts specilly babies. I shore wood a in joyed seein' awl them babies in a huddle an' fortygrafted. It wood a bin a mitey purty pickter if the fortygraffer cud a lived thew the settin.' Thay wuz good tho, an' didn't raze as much cain as mout a bin expected. Them folks up thare beleve in razin' a child in the way it shud go, an' thay take 'em to hear Bro. Mack preach, the first time thay take 'em eny whare, an' thare aint a chap up thare but what mitey ni worships the preacher an' the o!e folks air ditto. Well, I startid to tell yew about the doin's up thare. The church wuzdeckerated withbewtiful flowers. The gals wuz awl drest in white, an' with thare brite ize an' happy faces, made a charmin' pickter. The boys an' young men, too, God bless 'em, wuz jest as much intrestid in the ex ercizes as the gals wuz, an' several ov 'em had rale good speeches an' spoke 'em as nice as eny town feller I ever seen. (Now Mister Editor, I don't mean to impermate that town boys can ginerly beat the country wons. 1 jest mean that the country boys air so scattered about it's hard er fur 'em to git together an' prac tice up to perfexion specilly at this bizzy season ov the yere.) I didn't no awl ov them boys, so I can't tell yew thare names. Hut will mention J. Russell an' Hamilton Morton as havin' the best an' touchinest speeches ov eny. Airy won ov 'em wood make a suckcess on the stage. Thay both ov 'em had the teers roll in' down mi face big as horse apples (that haint shed blume, yew no,) but I wern't bi miself I'm glad to say. Mister Russells pece wuz, "Ive drunk mi last glass boys," an' wuz the pitiful tale ov a drunken wreck with a family ov starvin' children. Mister Morton's pece wuz "An nie'san' Willie'sprayer." They wuz little mutherless things with a rich money grab! in' father, who had got tired ov thare questions on Xmaseve nite, an' sent them to bed at seven oclock stiddy ov ate thare regler bed time. He told 'em thare wern't no sich a thing as Santy Claws an' with this orfel thing pressin' on thare little harts it wuz impossible fur 'em to go to slepe. Bout ten oclock thay got to tawkin' about how mama used to ax God fur things an' thay precluded to do likewise. So thay prade fur what thay wantid in trew childish faith, axin God to bless pa pa who wuz never cross to 'em be fore, an' to prove to him that thare raly an' trewly wuz a Santy Claws! Well, that father down stars in his rume got figgetty an' precludid he must go up an' see atter them little chaps that had bin sentcryin' to bed. He hearn thare tawk an' prayers, an' lit out in the cold to git the things thay prade fur an' more besides. He let 'em think it wuz God an' Santy Claws an' it wuz. That wuz shore a bewtiful pece. Then thare wuz fifteen gals in won pece. Thay formed a wheel that wuz the grandest site I ever seen in a chil drins day exercise. Miss Bessie Cooper wuz the queen an' wore a pretty crown on which wuz the words "Faith, Hope, Charity." She placed this in the senter ov a cirkler pece ov cloth nicely stretched an' fastened to a hoop, ten other pretty gals awl drest in white an' warrin a reath ov flowers on thare heds, awl had a pece to fassen around Bessie's hub an' each pece had a word writ on it, sich as, musick, art, wealth, commerce, etc., thn three little gals had peces to form the rim, on which wuz writ "civilization, evan gelization"an "education. "An thare it wuz, as purty a wheel as ever yew seen, atter it wuz made Miss Lina Smith, I think it wuz, cum forwrrd with a little, sayin' the most impor tant part had bin left out. The cross wuz then placed in the center ov the hub with bewtiful sarymony. Every body who had the plesyure ov injoyin' that bewtiful seen, shud no that thay owe it to Mrs. Billy Simp son who fixt it up, an' seen to havin' it rendered so perfect.

Thare wuz won little Miss Lectie Poplin, darter ov Mister Tom Poplin. She plade the orgin an' a crowd ov little gals helped her sing. She also had a bewtiful speech. She didn't look over 8 or 9 yere old, an she is actilly "hello gal" at Jackdaw! If she don't git spiled bi flattery she'll shore make a mark sum day.

Don't Think You are Old. A certain amount of social life is absolutely essential to the old as well as to the young. A woman never grows so old that she ceases to enjoy the company of others, and generally the older she grows the more she enjoys it. It is always a pity to see a man fall into a state which he explains by saying: "Oh, we're getting old, and don't care so much for variety in our lives," says Woman's Life. In the pure selfisness of his soul he always speaks of "us" and "we," as if it naturally follows that because he is getting antiquated his wife must keep pace with him in his decline. Let him keep in touch with the world, and both he and his wife will be the better and the younger for it. Big Sea Turtle Captured. San Diego, Calif.. June 22.
