( Little Dorothy's | I Courtship S, vwma ieiu went :: Ikrothy knew that it ws» about time for Joan and the rest cf them to be re 1 turning from their sail on the lake. It would never do for Joan to find the ••big flab" of the bouse party—that was i the name she bad given the young Eng liab earl—talking to her alone. Sbe. ' alas, was only p<»r little Cousin I>oro- : thy and acting in thia particular bouseI bold as Joan's mother's paid companion! So she pretended to be bored with bls lordship's society. “La-la, la-la, la la-la." she hummed, sinking back Into the depths of the easy chair and stretching her white anus laxity. “I say." said the earl, “am I tiring you. Miss Dorothy Y' Dorothy stopped bumming. “No.” she drawled, w.th mock mischief, “not exactly. But"—here she smiled her sweetest smile upon him—“you won't be vexed, will you. If I tell you that I'm a bit sleepy and that I must sleep ; In the sun? Will you draw this chair over for me. please?" Rising slowly, j she adjusted the fleur-de-lis at her waist while his lordship drew the chair to th** suuny corner of the big veranda. “How’ll that do?" asked be. “Si lendidly. Now for cushions." “How many?" “Hundreds." said she. He collected as many as be could carry and fetched them to her. "Here are thousands." be announced. “l>e!ick>us!" murmured Dorothy, sinking back into them with a sigh of conI tent “This is quite perfect.” “It will be when 1 fetch you a sunshade.” be amended. "Sunshade!" cried she. "Go away, you Goth! 1 want tbe sun." “You'll be pickled!” warned he, “No." corrected she. dimpling, "preserved " Her long black lashes lay motionless on tbe wild rose flush of her I cheeks. Tbe earl chuckled and. pretending that be fancied her already asleep. ; crept elaborately away on tiptoe. Joan and tbe rest of them were in sight, I and be advanced to meet them. Joan Shannon was unque tfonnbly a beauty. She bad been photograjsied in i every variety of poae: she bad been painted by several of tbe most celebrated artists on two c>mtineats, but in spite of this fact she bad passed throazb the whirl of three seasons and | was still unwed. “She must be waiting for a title," people said, as other girls far less, beautiful came out. danced through a season or two. and were led to the altar by men of their choice. However that may be. included among tbe guests at this particular I house party at the Shannon's big coun- i try place on the sound was tbe young Earl of Stowbridge. and it was common property that Miss Shannon already , bad found bfm very attractive. "So awfully sorry you couldn't join ns In our sail this morning." she began In her sweet, suave voice, with an ac- 1

I cent which was the result of much ! travel, "la your beadache better now?” 1 “ ‘l'ou my honor. I’ve not given It a ; thought for the laat half hour. I found ! Mis* Dorothy reading on tbe veranda. ; and she took pity on me and put down ■ \ her book. and—well, aomebow she must ; have cured my b«-udacbe! She's got Joi- ! ly pretry dimple*, and she's a cousin i of yours, didn't some one say?" ' “Tea—distant Mamma never liked ' me to associate much with her family i when we were little, and now, as you can imagine, we aren't very—er—con- ; genial," "Such fun." observed the earl lacon- ( Ically. His fair companion turned and looked at him reproachfully "And who would wish to be funT “ said she. “Uh. 1 don't know," said his Irdahip gallantly. Mb* Shannon found herself wondering for a moment as they walked on whether tbe earl might not prove testy after all. Would be be uneasy under tlie crushing and ordering about to which her father and mother submit,l ted. If there was one thing she disliked it was obstacular people. She bad been brought up to expect people to ’ agree with her. | "Os course." she sighed, shrugging her beautiful shoulders discreetly, "I feel sorry for poor little Dorothy. Mother won't need her after tbe autumn, and I'm sure 1 don't know what's going to become of her then. Besides, see hasn't any practical sense. Just look at her now lying asleep In nil that sun. She’ll be simply black w ith freckles!*’ That afternoon when everybody was ! resting for a dinner dau<*e in tbe evening tbe Earl of Stow bridge wandered I into the library, a cool, dim apartment , banked with books and made comfortable with couches. He had just discovered one of h'.s favorite authors and settled down to read when tbe sound of feminine voices In the adjoining room disturbed his attention. Six seconds bad not elapsed when he became aware that It was no o: Unary istcrvlew and that : be should i ike a step forward to ani nounev his ••r» "ce It was not in his character or traditions to l«e an eavesdmpfier: nevertheless ho f mnd himself curiously uuable to more or utter i a sound. “Angling for him—l?” It was Dorothy's voice, low and Impassioned, but with a ;t:l<-k little ra«p or two. such as wouki come f;-j:a one who had sudden. v rece'ved an unexpected douche I of void water. “There can be no doubt of that,” cshs Mrs. Shannon’s Icy tones. “Only yesterday J-an was telling me of her I own misgivings"— “Misglviucs!” There was still that

tremulous cat.-h in tha brvath. •‘Ota. of course young men will be young men.” continued Mrs. Shannon, with a pur in her well bred tones. "They will pursue the girl who holds i out the angling iron. You are clever— I I don’t dispute t’>e f.;ee; you are clever and cal, ulut ng—but one thing I have ,to tell you. If you wish to remain in this household you must assume a different jiose. And. remember, not another conversation alone with the Earl of Stowbridge while he is under this roof. You may go now.” There was silence just for an ap- ■ preciable fraction of a second; then I little Dorothy seemed to t>e drawing j herself up to her full height as she j flung a defiant, passionate answer into her aunt's face: I "I tl. ."gi tat least you were a lady. I but you’re not You're ctwanlly and cruel and vu gar. oh. how can you 1* so?" Dor >thy, sobbing miserably in her hot anger and insulted girlhood, was obliged to leave the room. Mrs. Shannon, cool and collected, as always, touched a Im*!I and sent the cook some ! orders about the salad. After dinner, while they were dancing. the ettrl sought Dorothy out in the star sprinkled night, where she had i wandered to a hammock under the I trees, far from the chattering groups J an the veranda. "I've been wondering who was be- : hind that light -a cigar." she said lighti ly as he joined her, and then, m ire | seriously, drawing in her breath deeply: "Isn't it splendid out here tonight? 1 like to catch that string brine front ' the sea. It gives one courage." "Is that what y »'j want—courage?" asked the earl, looking at her tenderly in the starlight and feeling his big honest heart a-tliroh. He sat down o:.

Dorothy tried to speak, but her lipa would not respond. Then she did a curious thing.
