X can't de scribe her to you?she's beyond de [ scription! But she's a horrid littl< flirt! If I were you I wouldn't g< near the place! You take my tip old man." Jack looked at his companion, i tall, slim young man, with jet blacl hair, and a handsome mustache o the same color; then he cast a glano in the mirror opposite, and beheb himself: h'is companion was mucl the handsomer man of the two, fo Jack barely reached the middli height, he had light hair and a ver; poor apology for a mustache, and worst of all, it was straw colored Then his eyes were bluey gray. an< looked quite ordinary compared wit! his friend's fine dark orbs. "Miss Harley surely couldn't havi resisted your charms?" he said, smil ing. "I tell you she has broken th? heart of a dozen fellows already? and mine among them." said the oth er, trying to look melancholy. "Well, I shall go and still hope t< return heart free in spite of this si ren's charms," laughed Jack. But his companion shook his liea< at him sadly as he left the room. Mabel Harley was indeed all tha Jack's friend had said of her; he beautifully molded figure, her trust ful brown eyes, and her wavy goldei hair all combined to give her tha peculiarly attractive appearance tha had led to the fascination and subse quent downfall of so many would-b< lovers. "Who is that blond young man op posite, who keeps looking this way?' Mabel asked of the lady who sat nex her, fee'.ing in her wicked littl heart that she had already made an other conquest. 44 Ah hof'e Orrlrv + etnri vin f? X believe, for the Bar. He is ove fgr a visit at his uncle's," replied th' lady addressed. "By Jove!" muttered Jack, unde his breath. "The fellow didn't ex aggerate in the least?she's simpl; charming!" After dinner Jack received a forma introduction to Mary Harley. He in vited her to dance, and Mabel com plied with a smile which was th< more dangerous on account of it seeming innocence. After the dance the two strolle* away together, and took a seat al most hidden from view by the spread ing leaves of a palm. "Are you fond of society. Mr. ??' Mabel queried, fixing her lovely eye on him. "Call me Jack, if you please, it i traoivri cu icmruiuci, auu ouuuuo much nicer from your lips." Jacl responded witli one of his most slav ish looks. Mable smiled winningly; so shi 'had made another conquest already She wished that fellows wouldn't los; their hearts quite so readily?it spoil the fun. "With regard to society, I think i depends to a great extent upon th< people one meets there. Sometime: I feel awfully bored, but I am en joying myself to-night immensely." He cast at her another lovin; glance as he spoke. "Oh, for shame, Jack!" she cried slapping him playfully on the back "And now?" she continued witl pretended gravity, "I am going ti concede a point and allow you to cal me Mabel." His answer was a surprise to her "How delightful! . Especially as tlier will be no danger!" "Danger of what?" she respond?* quickly. "Of us falling in love?or any o that sort of nonsense. We shall b just like brother and sister togeth er." Then her conquest was not so com pleta after all. and Mabel answerei in momentary pique: "There cei tainlv wilf hf> nn dancnr n? far ;ic am concerned!" Jack answered with wonderfu frankness": "Nor as far as I am cou cerned. either. I think thirty is quit young enough for that sort of thine and how pleasant it will be to b able to talk naturally to each othc without being misunderstood." "What a horrid fellow'" Mabc cried, stamping her foot impatientl, on the carpeted floor of her room "The very idea of talking to me lik that! But I'll punish him?I'll mak him fall in love with me, and thei | just tell him what I think of him." | "So the duel has begun," Jack so liloquized. a So Jack waited two days before h | paid Cie Harleys a visit. Mrs. Har 1 ley compelled him to take afternooi | tea with them, and Jack confined hi L attentions almost entirely to the ol< W couple; they were simply delightei I with him, while Mabel thought hi I inattention to herself wa.s positive! ] rude. However. Mabel schemed to get few moments alone wiih Jack iu th garden after tea,'and then she com menred her nre-fnrmpd rlan r>f vn venge with her utmost ability. Fo a time she thought she was succeed ing pretty well-in her wicked plol ( and at last felt emboldened to pu the question: "Have you never been in love? she asked. Jack treated this as some hug joke. "Good gracious, no!" h l*V laughed. If Mabel felt mortified at his an swers she covered her confusion abl, enough, and her laugbter neve sounded merrier nor more unaffectei ^ than as she led the way back to he parents. #. "A very successful evening," Jacl / commented, as he threw himsel down on the bed. ' "Positively detestable!" cried Ma bel, "I hate him!?and I know h does care for me?he couldn't hel; It!" Jack's visits were frequent afte this; he said there was nothing h Kb. liked better than a conversation wl Mr. Harley, and one of Mrs. Harle: s cups of tea. ^ Mabel's conduct toward Ja ? changed and she became more "stan , offish." Under these new tatics s J felt sure she should draw him on. ' "I have it!" she cried, after ha J ing lain awake for two whole hou plotting; "I'll make him jealous Then she rolled over and went sleep in less than five minutes. s Now there was in the neighbc 1 hood a certain Colonel who show - undisguised admiration for Mabel. She went walks with the Color - and generally contrived to dr > across Jack; that young gentlema : however, contrary to expectation showed the utmost unconcern; i raised his hat and positively smil t when he first met them?to Mabe f great disgust. s A week later the neighborhood w * surprised by the announcement th i Miss Harley and the Colonel we r engaged to be married. "Now i 8 shall see!" Mabel said to herself t y umphantly. The next day Jack dropped in f ! tea: Mabel met him with a smili; i countenance. i "I suppose you have heard t news?" s I "Yes," he replied, cheerfully, "a; -1 have taken this early opportunity calling to congratulate you." 1 e spoke so calmly, could it be posi - ble that he didn't care after all. "The Colonel is a splendid felloi So handsome! Everybody is fo; 3 of him?and though you perha - could have done better?well, i best to choose the one that we re< I ' ly love." I Then Jack took his seat at t II table, and talked away to the old r couple, but the worst of it was . seemed unable to speak to Mat i without bringing the Colonel's nar t in every time; he seemed a good de t more pleased about the arrangemer . than Mabel herself. Why couldn't s let the.subject drop? I "And when is the marriage to ta _' place, Mabel?" "I don't know!" She answered t shortly that both Mr. and Mrs. Hj e ley turned to look at her. Only Jack didn't notice, and we on innocently: I "Anyway, you'll invite me to t j! wedding?I shall be back in town e ! then. I expect, but you must wrl and let me know." r Jack seemed to think it must be _ I pleasure to Mabel to keep on hai Y i ing upon this one subject. At 1 ? she could bear it no longer, but ro . abruptly and left the room. Jack returned home moody a: dissatisfied. He was not at all su of his around, but he consoled hi] I self by the thought that if he h j betrayed his love, she would oe j have treated him the same as t i rest of them?better that she shou I never know. " j The engagement with the Color , only lasted a fortnight, then the i . t port was circulated over the to\ s | that the match was broken off. Th afternoon Jack made another call. s j "And how's the Colonel?" . j queried. x j They were standing alone in t ~ garden together. i "I don't know," she replied si e.l lenly. "Haven't you heard that t ' I engagement has been broken off?' 31 "I am estremely sorry," cri 1 Jack. 'Could I do anything to plain the misunderstanding?for am sure it is only a misunderstan e ing?" "No; it is quite irrevocable?I fii that I do not care for him?I lo another." s - There was a look in her eyes th j conquered Jack all in a moment. ] ?

"Bi , you know, you did not intend to 1 married until you were at least th j ty?" she cried, wickedly. e j "Mabel," he cried, passionately, ~; have loved you all along!" And I was pouring into her ear the tale " j burning love. 3 : So she had conquered, at last h " i revenge was consummated! 1 j Perhaps Jack saw something of t umph in her eyes, for he broke off the midst of his appeal and cri fiercely: e "I know that I am a fool to let y< "I know!?I was told that you had 0 i heart?you cannot love nor knc 1 j what love is!
