Tnere was a dinnnuming rumble of wheels on the stone pavement, and she was alone. She walked I quickly across the hall and opened the door of her sitting room. Red coals glowed in the grate, and she was drawn toward it. She leaned her elbow upon the mantel and ran her gloved hand through her hair. Her loosened cloak slid to the floor and lay in a black and pink mass at her feet. As she stood outlined by the glow of the fire against the dark tiling she looked like some fair goddess. The mirror over the mantel reflected the queenly pose of the head crowned with golden brown hair. Two dark eyes blazed like stars, and a brilliant flush was on the usually white cheeks. The Ivory satin of her evening dress took on the soft hues of a rose in the flrei light. What an evening it had been! She ilosed her eyes and reviewed its scenes. She saw again the long dinner table with its lights, flowers and china, all mingled in a kaleidoscopic mass of brilliancy. She saw the distinguished ■ persons gathered around the board where she herself had been the guest of honor. How they had praised her! And how sweet it all rang in her ears, i for she was young enough to believe in the sincerity of praise and to love It. The name of her book was on every tongue, and Jean thought as she glanced, flushed and happy, Into the faces bent toward hers in flattering attention, “This world can have no great- . ar joy than this.” ’ Now it was over, but Jean knew that in the morning she would be announced as one of the successes of the - day. Hot book was already in all the 1 store windows,- and representatives of the press were clamoring for her pic- • ture. She knew that in another week the invitations would pour in upon her and people beg for Introductions. She knew the world and knew her own magnetic power and brilliancy. "How hard I have worked for It ill!” she said, with a little sigh, which was instantly smothered lest she awake the maid asleep on the couch. “But it is worth it. There is nothing so sweet ; bs fame. If it .is so grand to one ' standing upon the threshold, what ; must it be to be known all over the • world?” She turned slowly from the fire and 1 sank wearily into the cuddling depths . as an armchair. The white lids closed aver the brown eyes. Only for an in- ' stant. Then she drew herself up rigidly and looked around with a startled gaze; What odor was that which came stealing over her senses like a breath from the past ? Pshaw, she was dreaming! There was/io odor, her ' excited imagina/fon. She drew a deep breath, but only to smell again the i same sweet./elicate, intangible scent. Jean turped and looked. A vase of | white stood on the stand behind Kg turned with the, fierceness r and tore the blossoms from A letter fell to the floor, but not heed it. She buried her the cool white blossoms and deep breaths of their odor. \a me room faded from her sight, and she looked past the tinted walls upon a scene dimmed by years. She -Saw an i ahd-fashiohed garden, calm and still in the moonlight and filled with the scent as the spring flowers. A. yojith arid maiden stood by the sagging gate. He leaned heavily against the post and locked at her. with troubled eyes. She stood tall find slender in the silvery light, and her whole figure treflibled with nervous excitement. “It is the dream of iny life,” she raid. “I shall never be happy nor contented until I have tried it. Yen love the country and are contented here, but I hate it. I long for the city and people. I want to be a part of the world and to become famous. I feel ■ here,” she continued, folding her slim white hands over heart, “that some <lay I shall be famous. You cannot understand me, Paul. I do not quite understand myself. Only this thing I know —I will give up home, friends and even love for my ambition.” A long silence followed her excited, earnest words. Then Paul spoke slowly and with repressed emotion: “You must choose fpr yourself, Jean,” he said, “and I will abide by your decision. You are but a child in comparison with the world, and you will find it very hard to a woman. Your happiness has always been more to me. than my own; but, Jeanie, dear, it is hard to give you up. Promise me one thing,” he continued—“should you grew tired of the world, or should you find it disappointing, you will send for me. You will always find me waiting and faithful, though it oe ywu's.” Jean impatiently waved the White lilac she had plucked from the bush over the gate. “I promise, Paul, of course, and you must not think I don’t care for you. I do really, only I am ambitious and do not wish to be tied to any one.” Paul suppressed a groan. How lightly she treated it, this queer girl who had the fierceness of a wild animal and the gentleness of an angel! He felt so commonplace and dull beside her. It was a.part of life, however, the renunciation of the dearest things. He was not a coward to whine about fate. He caught the hand whidh held the • lilac -in his.

'Thank you, Jean, and Ood bless you,” he said. “I know that you will keep your promise and send for me if the day comes that you need me.” His gray eyes looked earnestly Into hers for a moment; then he tore the lilac from her band and was gone. All this was six years ago. Now as Jean rat in the firelight she followed her past struggles one by one. What up hill work It haxl been! Failures and discouragements on every side, and yet she had never given up. She had fought her way inch by inch and now was beginning to taste the sweets of success. The book over which she had worked so hard for weeks had pleased the critics, and her fame was assured. . , / But, After all, what did that fame n/ean? To have no life of her o'wn, to ctand always in the glare of the world’s cariosity and to have heralded from ocean to ocean her most trivial actions, to go daily through the same thingdinners, teas, receptions, among crowds of people, not one of whom really cared tor her, t r work to the uttermost of her strength by day and crowd her already wearied brain by night. The glamour was already wearing off at the. edges under the homely sfohll of, t,he lilacs. I Zpaul stood before her, as she had last . Idst seen him, calm, gentle and sympathetic. She remembered all the kindnesses which she had valued so little then, and her heart was filled with a queer pain. What cared she tor the world, or what did the world care for her? The best fame cculd offer was not worth a home wherein one could rest, protected by love. When her youth and beauty wore off, when she became wornout in body and mind, when she became old and sick, what would the* 4 wcrld do then? It would leave her to die alone and would seek new celebrities. She remembered Paul’s words and said them again softly to herself. “Should you grow tired of the world, or should you find it disappointing, send for me. You,will find me waiting and faithful, though it be years.” The smell of the lilacs had brought her to her senses, and she realized the emptiness of her life. Jean sat with her head bowed upon the table for a long time. When she raised it again, her eyes were wet with tears, and her face was filled with a soft light. She kissed the crushed lilacs and placed them in the vase again, all save one little spray. Then she glided softly to the escritoire and seized a pen. She wrote hurriedly for ten minutes and slipped the letter and the bit of lilac into the envelope. Sealing and addressing it nervously, she drew a long breath. “How they will talk!” she said, with a soft little laugh. “And how happy we shall be —Paul and I! It has been a Sght between ambition and love, but love has won. I shall mail the letter myself in the morning. Dear Paul! ’ She went over and aroused the sleeping" maid, and sent her off to bed. then drew the armchair before the grate and dreamed happy dreams until a ray of daylight’ stole beneath the shade. It was noon when Jean came from her bedroom clad in her business costume. She smiled as she saw the lilacs on the stand and crossed to” escritoire to get her letter. “I’ll pot it myself,” she said. “You darling flowers, you have given me my life.” There was a businesslike letter on the top of her desk. She picked it up and read: “Dear Madam—We will pay you SIO,OOO in cash, with a royalty, for a volume from your pen, to be finished September 1.” and the signature was that of a well known publishing house whose name was synonymous with success. Jean’s face flushed, and she gave a glad cry: “Ten thousand dollars, with a royalty besides! I shall be able to spend two years abroad. What bliss! I shall write at once and accept it.” Something rustled at her feet. It was Paul’s letter. She drew a hard ■ breath and looked ■ first at the letter in her hand and then at the one at her feet. Love or fame? Which should she choose? Jean’s face hardened. She'felt like the soldier who smells powder and is anxious to be on the scene of action. The noonday sun filled the roonY’with its glare. v Slowly picking up the letter, at-her feet, she,,hesitated but a moment; then, crossing”quickly to the grate, dropped . She did not wait to see’ it burn, but sat at Tier desk and hastily wrote her letter to the publishers. A tear fell on the page, ; but Jean brushed it away fiercely. “Last night - you were a romantic fool,” she said. “Your work lies before you, .and you have no place nor time for a heart. You have talents that you have no right to bury and a glorious fuiuro be.'Yi’o you, and you shall not give it up.” Arising hastily from her chair, there was a crash, and the vase of lilacs lay* shattered at her feet. Jean caught the flowers and* threw them into the grate; then, womanlike, leaned her head upon the mantel and sobbed bitterly for a few minutes. Presently she grew quieter and wiped the traces of tears from her eyes. Soon she was ready f ~ the street and dropped the letter into the mailbox at the corner. Her hand trembled as she thought of the letter slid' had intended to post, but the battle had been fought, and she was determined to enjoy the fruits of th'e victory.— Queen of Fashion. ■ JEygn the Tiamps Ar« On To X>.

'’’But good heavens, lady, this is a grape pie with seeds in and I have twice been threatened with appendicitis!” and he wiped his eyes with his whiskers. “Poor man!” said the old lady, giving him a silver dollar; “I never thought of that.” Around the corner of the orchard he frescoed the head of the white dog following at his heels by smashing the pie over fits head and sent him back looking as if he had cut his throat with a wire fence. “Suddeij inspiration,” said Breezy, “is better than slow wtedom, and a nimble dollar is better than' a steady inb in a nhosphatn factory .’’—Judge.
