This 2ith day of Aug.. li:i.
be had ever known her cousin Agatha,
1 for example, she was sure that Tom
would never have looked twice at
her.
Agatha Blaine was five years older
than Sylvia. Although she had been
born in Stapleton. she had not lived
there much during her checkered ex
istence. She had made an unhappy
tnarriage and was suing the man for
a divorce. Agatha was a handsome
blonde "dashing," people called her
with any number of moths fluttering
round her. And the worst of It was
that Agatha, who could never resist
making conquests, was coming to stay
with Sylvia's mother.
How could the little country girl re
tain her influence over Torn when
handsome, rich, citified Agatha was
there?
"Why, you foolish child," said Tom
laughingly, when Sylvia voiced her
clinging, with pale race and trembling
limbs, to a corner of the building op
posite. She could not
away from what she saw. And a mo
ment or two later she taw Agatha's
filmy lace handkerchief pressed to her
eyes, saw Agatha's head bowed upon
her hands, and saw Tom's hand pat
ting her cousin's shoulder consol
ingly. After awhile Sylvia summoned
strength to go home. She did not tell
anybody what she bad seen. She wrote
a little note to Tom that evening.
"I find that I made a mistake," she
said. "I thought I loved you. Tom.
but I was wrong. Please do not call
or write to me, and never ask me to
explain." j
She knew Tom was too proud not to
take her at her word. And the next
two weeks were miserable ones, for
she herself was too proud to let Aga
tha know how she was suffering. J
"Well, I must say I don't think '
much of that Sweetheart of yours. Syl- ,'

fears, "don't you know that I sjb
madly Infatuated with you? Bring on
your Agatha and watch me."
Sylvia Btghed and suffered Toia to
kiss the incipient linos ot trouble off
her pretty forehead. But when
Agatha did arrive, s resplendent be
ing In a picture hat, with four trunks
and a pedigreed dachshund, she was
more than ever convinced that her
days of happiness were numbered.
Agatha was so kind that the girl
half minded to confess her trouble to
her. But Agatha seemed also s little
heartless. Sylvia was bound to con
fess that as she sat with ber and her
mother and watched the elder lady s
eyebrows gradually contract as she
listened to their visitor's flippant com
ment on men and events. But doubt
less it was Agatha's unhappy matri
monial experience that was responsi
ble for that.
"Why, my dear auntie," she said to
Sylvia's mother, "what funny, old
fashioned Ideas you have about men.
Any woman can twist any man round
her little finger, if she chooses."
"I wonder if she will choose to
twist Tom round her little finger,"
sighed Sylvia to herself, when Agatha
congratulated her warmly. Her inter
est lu the engagement seemed almost
unnatural, and she insisted upon pur
chasing a large part of Sylvia s trous
seau. She also inquired Into the con
dition ot Tom's finances, and when
she learned that bis home would have
to be a very modest one she seemed
quite distressed.
And I have more money than I
know what to do with." musinelv.
Richard settled $4,u0 on me when
we were married, you know."
On the day after ber arrival Tom
was introduced to her. Sylvis, watch
ing them closely, although she as
sumed an indifferent manner, felt that
ber worst fears were confirmed. With
in a few minutes after the introduc
tion they were chatting together like
old friends.
"Well, I've seen this wonderful
Cousin Agatha," said Tom, as they
parted, "and she can't bold a candle
to you, sweetheart." Hut Sylvia de
tected a note of insincerity In his
Toice, and that night she cried herself
to sleep.
The next day Cousin Agatha plead
ed a headache when Sylvia broached
the proposition of a walk. Sylvia had
some shopping to do, and, after a
stroll through the woods alone, re
turned through the village. Suddenly
she stopped dead; she felt as though
an Icy band bad been laid upon ber
heart, tor at a window oa tha see
was upon the tip of her tongue: That
on four separate occasions she had
seen Agatha In Tom's office. And when
her mother, looking at her searching
ly that night, asked her whether any
thing was wrong between Tom and
herself, she denied it miserably and
hurried to her room, that she might
give way to her tears without restriction.
But everything draws to a close, and
the time was come for Agatha to
leave. The four trunks were packed,
the wonderful bat went into a special
box, giving place to a neat traveling
hat, and Agatha was waiting for the
carriage to come to convey her to
the station.
"Sylvia, dear," she said, "there isn't
anything wrong between Tom and
yourself, is there?"
"N-no," stammered Sylvia brazenly.
She would never give her cousin the
satisfaction of know ing the barm that
she had wrought.
"Because," said Agatha, "1 wouldn't
have engaged his services if I had
reason U believe he was going to be
unkind to .sou."
"Engaged hi services, Agatha?"
asked Sylvia, bewildered.
"Yes, dear. You kuow I didn't like
my lawyer, WagsUiff, who, between
ourselves, hadn't been quite straight
with me. So I thought: Here's JjiiOlbereln

ful goose, Sylvia. Because, the first
time I went to his office I began con
trasting him In my mind with Rich
ard, and thinking what a lucky girl
you ere nd I Just broke down and
cried. Why Sylvia!"
Kor Sylvia was crying, too, and
when the cab arrived she hud only
just begun to explain. She was so
remorseful that she did not notice the
direction which the cub was taking
until It stoppad outside Tom's office.
And then
"I oun't go in, Agatha. I dare not
1 11 write to Tom"
"Well, now, yoa just sit still and
I'll bring Tom out to you." said Aga
tha sternly. And when, a minute later,
the door opened and Tom came in.
Sylvia clung to him, sobbing aud re
pentant. "O, Tom, what a goose I was. Can
you ever forgive me?" she asked.
"On one condition," he answered.
"That you marry me next month."
"On one condition," said Sylvia do
cilely. "Which is ?"
"That Cousin Agatha shall be
bridesmaid."

That there Is less oxygen in the
rarefied air of celebrated mountain
health resorts than in any room witb
closed windows, no matter how crowd
ed with persons, was an unchal
lenged statement made in the Times
by the English expert on ventilation,
Dr. Leonard Hill. The RritiBh Royal
socl"ty has Just published a prayer
supplementary to the report on the
Anglo-American Pike's Peak expedi-
tion by Miss M. P. Fitzgerald, which j
concludes with the statement that i
"arterial blood contains considerably j
more oxygen at high altitudes than
at sea level." The lungs are better '
ventilated, tcr one thing, but it is j
certain, also, that the old theory that
the lungs should be plentifully sup-
plied with chemically pure air must
be discarded. The little cell like al
veoli at the ends of the lung branches
have a special power of extracting
oxygen, even while the supply of oxy
