THE BELL

Greencastle’s Best Clothiers.

"That Gordon McFarland." remarked Davy Moultou. ’is the limit. He hasn't courage enough to propose." ’’Huh! Do you want to marry him that you are so anxious about it?” “No; I haven’t cherry lips and dim pies”— “Never mind the inventory, Brother Davy." she replied. “All righl, sis, but it'll never happen unless you propose, in the presence of his divinity—meaning you- he is reduced to a pulp." The sting to this teasing was iu its truth. Gordon was devotion itself, yet it was a silent adoration. lie seemed unable to utter a word in her presence. She had given him mauy opportunities j in that unexplainable way a woman has, and once or twice he had floundered and stammered with effort until in vexatiou she had retorted so whimsically that she had silenced him completely. “Ob. lie's Just too ridiculous, a great big thing like him, stammering and blushing like a schoolboy. It fairly makes me ashamed,” she grumbled. A woman's motives are difficult to fathom. Bess, In an unusual fit of graciousness, had allowed Gordon to escort her to a bull She was Justly vain of her escort's appearance as she snuggled beside him In the depths of the carriage. Rut by the lime they bad arrived her manner had changed visibly, so much so that she almost ignored him after the conventional first dance. He had tangled his feet hopelessly in her train ami missed step until she was nearly beside herself with mortification. There was ample excuse for his bewilderment. She was intoxicatingly lovely, with her draperies fioating, cloudlike, about her bare shoulders, and ihe flush of exercise tinting her face like a rose. Davy's comment was, ‘'Gordon looks as if he would like to eat her.” Bess was so provoked at this that she intended to punish Gordon by flirting outrageously. “Besides, if I could make him cross, he might pluck up a fraction of courage,” she thought. It vexed her still more because she felt tint he understood her motive. So did Davy, and he would not fail to lease her on the morrow. Carelessly tossing Gordon her bou quet iu passing, she walked off with Gerald Stone for an ice. "Queer duck, that Gordon Doesn’t appear to have much lo say." remarked Gerald insinuatingly Here the eternal feminine came to the surface. "Oh. I don’t know!” Her lone was resentful in the extreme. The next instant she said sweetly. “Here's just the nook for a quiet chat Let us sit here awhile. The ice can wait; so can Gordon. He'd hold my i>ouqiiet all night." laughingly An hour later Gordon sat abstractedly pulling at the petals of the roses He had hoped that the flowers might convey to her that whirl) he found so difficult to say. In upon his musing dribbled the conversation of two iicqtiainlaiues "So Gerald Stone has won Bessie Moulton? I i bouglit Gordon was to lie the man. bur he lacked courage. He deserves to lose her. He should know a woman despises a faint heart." said a voice lie knew “I wonder how she would like it if she know that Gerald I toasted to me of his conquest? lie told as a great joke that she hud left Gordon to moon over her bouquet. Said they were going to slip away and let him hunt for her when he had tired of the flowers. Seemed to think it mighty funny," an swered the speaker'* companion. “It’s contemptible. I wouldn’t have thought it of Bessie Moultou!” was the reply as they sauntered down the room. The sturdy independence of Gordon’s Scotch ancestry rose within him. He attached his card to the flowers and left them in the cloakroom; then, with a determined step, he left the house. Bess loitered iu her frivolons chat with the man she detested, dawdled over her ice and finally sauntered back to the dancing hall, apparently oblivious to Hie fact that she had promised i Ins twostep to Gordon She expected him to lie waiting for her. When he was not to be seen she was perturbed. “Conic on, let's take this twostep." said Gerald, with great familiarity. “No. thanks.' holly resenting his tone “You have had more than enough of my company for one evening." sin* added lightly lest she betray her annoyance as to Gordon An hour or so later she called Gerald to her side. “I claim a woman’s prerogative—I have e!)iin,.e<l my mind. You may take me home.” As lie bowed bis thanks ho thought of hia boast to Van Asyltiue and smiled “l suspect it was >** who tattled.” Boss kept up a running m* of nonsense all the way home, effectually ex-
