Presently she moved somewhat atiflly^over, dropped pre cipitately into the chair again, while a burning blush spread slowly up to her very hair and as slowly died away. The youth stared St her suepfdoue ly. "What are you blushing about?" he demanded, a dawning resentment In his voice. She retorted Indignantly, *T11 blush If I want to. And. besides, I'm not, anyway," she added Incoherently, "You^ always Imagining something." "Imagining!" he scoffed, growing more resentful as bis suspicions took firmer root.

"Then t certainly wouldn't hate said 'yes^ tonight/' returned Miss Simples Indignantly. "Tou look sillier In the' moonlight than at any other time." The youth rose majestically from his chair. "Very well," he announced calmly, "that ends It! Tou*ve given me every reason to believe you're In love with that Bennett I mention his name and you blush. Not only that* but you refuse to explain. And not only that, but ? " "Oo away!" a stifled voloe com manded!. "Oh, I'm going! You needn't be In such a hurry. It's the last you'll See of Vme," the youth threatened ? in sepulchral tones.

There came an October evening, chill and gray. The blood-red rays of the setting son struggled through banks of stormy cloud, across wind swept reaches of dead leaven and up on a wide, vine-hung porch* where two wicker chairs were drawn Stiffly apart. In one sat a girl, sltmly plain as to long ulster and jaunty cap/ dis concertingly distant of mien. In the other sat a youth, mournful, shadowed of eye, of an eneemble which accorded cheerlessly with the girl, the night, and the general atmosphere of ruin and decay, "I brought you that autumn foli age," he was sdyhiig bleakly ,</*not be cause I thought you would pare for it, -or value It as from a one-time friend, but merely as a symbol of the death of our? -or? ^ 1 ' "Thank you," ahe murmured ab sently.
