JOHN Q. WHITE.

HOW FOOLS PROPOSE.

"You look as if you had the burden of the world on your shoulders, Miss Leyland. What on the eartli is the matter?"

The pucker' left Diana's face for a moment and she allowed herself to smile. "I have come to a stop in this article," t.lie answered, tapping lier manuscript impatiently with her pen, "and I don't know how to go on/' "You don't mean to say you are writing an article?" said Ronald Gvey, laughing incredulously. "I had no idea you were an authoress." "Nor is she one, Mr. Grey," broke in Miss Winter sharply. "There is not the slightest reason for my niece to go in for such a thing. Though she only does it for amusement, Diana knows it is quite against my wishes." "What is the article about?" asked the young millionaire, quizzically. "On what subject is Miss Diana Leylaud expected to expatiate?"

Di's pretty lips parted with a smile. "1 have to write a column and a half ou "How Men Propose,' she said demurely. "Not really?" laughing outright. "Well I must congratulate the editor on his wisdom in choosing a writer of—so much experience!"

Di pouted.

r'

"I have come to a standstill. 1 don't know how to go on." "Do you mean to say that a description

OL

tach and all of your own love

affairs will not fill up a column and a half?" "You see, there is such a want of originality," said Di thoughtfully. "I want to write something oiu of the ordinary. I have to describe the differcer.t methods of the individual— the rich and the poor man, the wise man and the fool. Now, how can I tell," laughing, "how a l'ool proposes?'- and her eyes threw him a challenging glance. "I should /have thought," he said, jocularly, "that all your victims were cf that calibre." "Not at all." answered Di, by no means abashed. "They were some of the wisest men in. the country. Now," slowly, "if you were to propose to me—" "My dear Di!" broke in her aunt, horror struck. "Just to show me how they do it,'' went on Di, taking no notice of the Interruption. "Di! Di!" cried her aunt. "My dear Mr. Grey, please forgive her her tongue does run away with her so."

Grey laughted shortly. "I am quite convinced," he said, "that I should provide excellent copy for you—if I did such a thing.. So, on the wlu.le"—with some assurance—"I prefer to wait, until your article is written and sent off."

Miss Winter's old eyes gleamed. Surely, surely, the great ambition of her life would be fulfilled, and her niece would be Mrs. Ronald Grey belore long, if only Di would not spoil [her chances by that sharp tongue of |hers!

Di was biting the end of her pen savagely. Perhaps in her heart she was just, as ambitious as her aunt. Somehow she fell: that Ronald Grey was her fate, and that she would marry him in the end but it wounded her amour pro pre and set her pride aflame when he talked in such a confident tone. "There is Captain Arbuthnot.-' said Donald, breaking in on her thoughts. 'Why noi lead him on, and see how he proposes? You could not find a bigger fool in Christendom." "Captain Arbuthnot?" repeated Di, vaguely. "Why, he is the man who sat next me at dinner last night, and could not 5ay a. word."

Ronald smiled again. He Lad been. Dn Di's other side, and he knew that she ha not given her left-hand neighbor nn.th opportunity. "He is the butt of his regiment," he said laxilv. "If you want to find out how fools propose,' make him fall in love with you." "It would be an excellent idea," said Di, eyes sparkling. She shut up her manuscript hastily. "I witt wait to finish it.'' she said, "until Captain Arbuthnot proposes, and then 1 will give the experience for the benefit of the world." "Diana," said her aunt quickly, "I hope you will do no such thing. Pray leave the poor young man alone. Really, you have such peculiar ideas— don't know what girls are coming to nowadays." "It is not my peculiar idea it is Mr. Grey's,'' retorted Di saucily. "And now must go and And Captain Arbuthnov and begin the siege at once. You see '—her lace dimpling—"I have only a week before I send off my manuscript."

.*

"Diana, I love you! Will you marry me?" The moment had come—the moment for which Miss Leyland had teen scheming the last week.

Captain Arbuthnot and she were alone in the drawing room. She was experiencing "how fools propose."

She clasped and unclasped her hands restlessly. "Why do you love me?" she asked at last, after what seemed a long pause. "Why do I love you? Because you are so pure. Because of the pureness shining in your eyes. Because of— oh, because I cannot help loving you, though heaven knows I am not worthy of you!"

Perhaps it was only the gathering darkness which made Di's face look EO pale. True? Pure? What would he say when she told him the reason that she had encouraged him the last few days?

She thought of Ronaid Grey and his many millions, and then of Captain Arbuthnot and his straitened means. She thought of the millionaire's assurance and his lazy confidence that she would consent to be his wife, and she compared him with this man who had asked her with such deference and uncertainty, saying he was unworthy of her—her. She caught her breath with a half sob as he drew her gently to him. "Diana, are you not going to answer me." he asked. "Will you be my wife?''

She tried to free herself, but instead he made her look at him, and as her eyes met his, somehow her worldly aspirations melted away. She forgot her aunt, she forgot Donald Grey. She was in a world peopled only by herself and Charles Arbuthnot. "Yes,"' she whispered back, "I will."

It was the next day. Ronald came across Diana in the library, standing by the writing table. "Well, have you managed to get enough experience to write your article?"

Di took up her manuscript and tore it in two. "I am not going to write it now," she said. "Not write it! Ho., ho! Then you have not_ been able to bring Arbuthnot up to the scratch?" "If you mean by that,'' with dignity, "that I have not been, able to make Captain Arbuthnot propose, you are quite wrong. He asked me to marry him last night." "Did he really?" laughing. "Well, I congratulate you on having your efforts crowrned with success. Well, how do fools propose? I should really like to know. Tell me what he said." "He did not say much." answered Di quietly. "He only told me he loved me better than anything in the world, and asked me to be his wife." "Ho, ha! Pretty cool! And what did he say after you answered—overwhelm you with reproaches, eh?" "He did not say anything. He—he only kissed me.'' "What impudence!" cried Grey angrily. "How dare he kiss you. after you had refused him—" "But," interrupting, "y?u see, I did not refuse him. I—accepted him." "What!" "I accepted him," she repeated calmly. "You are going—to marry—that— man—Arbuthnot?"' "Yes," haughtily. "Why not?" "It is more reasonable to ask why?-" he said. "That, is easy to answer. Because I love him." "Love!" jeered he. "Love! What does a finished coquette like yourself know about Jove?"

Her (-ark eyes flashed defiance. "I knew nothing,'' she retorted, "until he taught me."

Ronald glanced at her as she stood —beautiful in her indignation. "Di." he said hoarsely, "you axe joking. You cannot mean to marry this pauper. 1 can offer you riches, everything—"

She stopped him with an imperious gesture. "What, are they to me," she asked scornfully, "after I have been offered love?"

She watched him recoil from her and go towards the door, and she laughed. "After all." she said. "I think I will write my article, for the experience has been given me—at last!"

But the door was slammed violM^fc' —there was no other answer.

"Good Hunting."

"We went Hunting up in Molunkus last fall," said the Lewiston barber as he scraped away. "We drove into the edge of the* woods and hitched our horse and started out. "We hunted and hunted, and when we had gone miles away, one of us—I Avon't say who—sat on a log and waited, listening eagerly. "Suddenly we neard something. It broke the brush. A moose! No, a deer! There I saw him, plain as day first deer 1 ever saw. You don't realize the sensation. We fired and the fell in his tracks. "Well! Perhaps you've killed big game. If you have, you know how our heart bounded as we tore over the trees to our kill. 'His ears look funny, don't they?' said I. 'Hm-m-m,' said Bill. 'His horns aren't exactly spreading, are they?'

I didn't know they drove 'em in beach wagons up here. Did you?' 'Darn shame!' said Bill. 'Poor old Dobbin!'

A neat little device which is both convenient and attractive can be made by embroidering the dial of a clock upon dull linen and providing moveable hands made of pasteboard covered with black silk. This can be used in the sick room as a reminder or time to give medicine, by setting the hands at the desired hour. It would also be a serviceable present to a gentleman friend, who could hang it on his office door when he went out, setting the hands so they would indicate the time he expected to return.
