Then h ran dow to t?dy out a plan by whieh h cotild be led to devote himelf to Florence and t 4njier her. She spent a hole morn inir in deep thought. At luncheon she appeared with a severe headache and t written letter. "If that does not bring him," she said o here!f. rnut simply give tip. It did bring him. He was Jarvis Mur ray.

He had been shipwre ked ne and had two deperate fights with pirate. He tot that cut over the ne in one l tli rn. Then he re.inel from the navy to an ept th command of a merchant ve e(' A 4illi-ion.fJre.and rive days on a raff finihil his career there, though he was honorably an-juitti-d from all blame. II derided that dry land would suit him thereafti-r. He ecured a oition with an electric company, and wa now in a fair way to lcmme a millionaire. Rut he waa not nn attractive man. He knew it. tf, and a a rule steerel tlear of the fair sex. Hut Mr. ('hby Sodcn Mir redded in etting him after Florence.and he njienrd up a t ampaigo that for vari rty and movement has seldom lrB eipialed in the hictory of love. It legan with some materlT inartiv ity. The first thing that Jams Murray did wa nothing, and he did it well. He was intrndurrd to Florence, looked ut her i riti ally, and then walked away. That made Floreni e angry and tilled het with a deep determination to make, him notice her - and to hit Mrnw, of oure. larvis wathed her. He saw her de liberately lraw young Forrest Rurney into a projwiHjil and then treat him with a tneaurecs contempt that sent the young fellow away heartbroken. If Jarvis hul not lcf n let into the secret of Florence's lack of faith in men h would have called her heartless. As it was, he under sto4 that her heart was exceedingly active and was feeding on its own fires. He derided that Mrs. Soden'a plan of campaign w as a wise one. The next day Jarvi Murray treated Florence t "raven with delilwrate indiffcr encc all day. He took the troubje to keep w ithin sound of her voice and ight of her eye. o as to let her see that he was indifferent. 8he tried several times to draw him into conversation, but h mpw n d in firmosyHaMes and then turned to spcik to another girl. That nicht one of the full dress hops took placy. Might in th middle of it Jarvis Slurray shouldered his way through the rrowd of mth around Florence and said "The next i our wait. I believe.' You can't put the a-Mirance of hit manner ?n paper. "I think not," she sjid. "You are mistaken." he replied, lifting her ilance card. The dance was no taken. lie calmly wrote his name and showed it to hi r. "You ee, it i my dance." At that moment the muic began, and In fore Flnreni e couid re over her bn-nth he had her floating over the fliHr. "Mr. Murray." h said angrily, '"your impudeni'e" "My what?" he aked. looking intently Into her eyes. He knew hw to look hard. He had ne looked a mutiny out of counte nam e. "Your impudenie." she began again, but he intcrrupfial her. "A man would dareany thing for you, he aid. Her fare flnheI and her eyes fparklcd Jarvis'Murray walta like a fi'athi r w ight ang4-l. He 1 il not say another won I to her till the end of the lam e. Then he .id : "Have ou another dance left? She had.

She did not si-e him until the next ?lay. She was weak enough to take him to tak for not apicaring to i (aim hi ?lan4 e. He told her he wn sorry she had miel him. and aurd h r it honld never oca ur again. That male hrr i angry h would not H-ak to him again.

Tfje next day he ileoted himself in pre cUelythe same manner toMr. Chabyro den'shang fir daughter. The finest expert from a mdial court of love couldn't have di4oerl a shide of difference in the devotion of thi ilay and that of the prcviou 4inc. That made Florence wild; w hat could hc That is not the sort of thing that a girl can notice. So she had to swallow her rae and content her self w ith flirting more deperately then ever with a tow hai?cd gentleman wh was p. -idof m T i art and a hyphened name, she overdid it. however. She had 4me or twomitbursts of temper which frightenrd the young man, and he ran away. About that time sh overheard Mr. Cha-by S-nlen saving to one of the old Nom on the veranda: "Oh, r, Jarvis always had a pen chant for hi cousin. I houldn't be aur priei if the uneiertal hspjwneil in that quarter.' "So." thought Florence, "that old bundle of goip think he.'s going to marry In r Nellie. Well, rather than that I'd many him myself, and I hate him." The n4-xt day he went in bathing just as evi'ry one clr wa going out. Murray stood on tin- end of the pier and watched her ilivc off. She w.i an expert swim mer. She watn straight out from the shore, and whi n she wa- fmty or fifty yard from tin- end of the pier phe turnH over on her bark and floated like a nymph.
