I have faithfully kept my promise
I never to divulge to my sister Louise
the adventure that befell me at our
first memorable dinner at Lily Carter's,
nor the identity of the prim
waitress who served us on that occa
Eton. And no one but Mrs. Carter
and the person directly involved ever
knew of the loss and subsequent history
of my pearl scarfpin.
Brief mention must be made of my
eldest sister's inordinate and sinful
regard for the details of household
management, for thereby hangs this
tale. Her own home is perfectly ordered,
and thus intreiched, outside
the application of the adage concerning
dwellers in glass houses, she
justifies herself in cavilling at the
domestic peccadilloes of her friends.
Not one that is not afraid to entertain
Louise. I knew that Mrs. Carter
was quaking over the prospect of our
dining at her house. She was a
boarding-school friend of Louise's
and had married a poor bank clerk,
and this was Liuse'3 first visit East
since Lily had set up house-keeping.
We were to go out early in order
to be driven about the suburbs before
dark. My sister had preceded me,
and as I was on my way i'rom the
aIama T sJ o ohnrt r?nt
blclliuu, aiuuv, x u, ?^?
to the house by way of some vacant
Hots. Grip in hand, I sprang up the
banking which sloped abruptly from
the sidewalk, and upon reaching the;
top noticed a girl, hesitating 011 the
brink, as if dubious about trusting
herself upon the slippery surface; for
it was the winter season. After passing
her, I paused, witti an instinctive
desire to be of assistance. She was
the prettiest creature I ever saw.
Her blond hair fluffed out from beneath
a boyish seal cap which
matched her rich coat. Upon the soft
curvo of one cheek, where the coquettes
of old used to wear their
patches, a small brown mole enhanced
the fairness of her skin. She
threw me a conflding look from her
gray eyes which were shaded by wonderful
black lashes, and tentatively
stepped upon the Icy slope. Then her
feet began to slide.
"Quick!" she cried, and extended
one hand in my direction. With more
zeal than caution I was at her side,
the impetus of my leap precipitating
us at a break-neck pace down the
bank, across the slippery sidewalk

"Thank you so much," in a sweet
voice, she disengaged herself from
my support and was gone.
I adjusted my hat and coat collar
with a pleased though regretful
smile, and, with a habit I have, felt
for the pin in my scarf. It was gone!
And then I remembered with vivid
distinctness the violent pressure of
two small hands against my chest as
we made our mad descent. It was a
valuable pin, and I was sorry to lose
it. But my deepest regret was on another
account.
* ? * o
"What a charming maid;" this in
a stage whisper by Louise to Mrs.
Carter. "Has she been with you
I long?"
"Not long," Mrs. Carter had time
to respond before the girl re-entered
the dining-room. I glanced up with
out interest. Her hair was blond,
parted primly in the middle and
drawn smoothly away from her forehead.
Upon the curve of one very
pink cheek, where our colonial belles
were wont to wear their beauty
patches, was a small, brown mole.
So my lady was a professional thief
gaining entrance to this house disguised
as a servant!
The dinner was a success and the
servant perfect. Louise beamed approval
and Mrs. Carter basked therein.
After coffee in the library, I
found some pretext for leaving the
room. Listening stealthily at the
pantry door, and hearing the faint
clink of china, I entered. She was
seated independently on the top of a
pair of portable steps, finishing an
! ice. Her face blanched when she met
j my condemning gaze, and she sprang
I to the floor. Her beauty smote me
to the heart.
| "I know everything," I declared in
I a dramatic whisyer. "If you will
leave at once I will not expose youi
position!"
"How did you know?" she
breathed, wide-eyed.
"It is quite apparent," said I, dryly,
"especially after the theft of mi
pin."
"Oh!" she gasped. "It's you, is
it!"
"Yes, it is I," grimly. "However
it is upon my friend's account that 1
come to you, not my own."
"Why don't you tell your friends?'
! shp ripfiorl
I felt myself growing red.
It is a man's pride to have a reasoi
for his acts. I llieu realized that hei
beauty's appeal to my sympathy was
my reason now.
"You are young," I replied, se
verely. ' I trust this is your first of
fense and that you will reform."
She covered hor face v/ith her lit
tie hands and for a moment he:
shoulders shook gently. But the eye
that she raised to mine were tearless
"Since you ar-> so kind I will tel
you tbe truth. I uld not steal you
pin. It caught?it. caught in m;

Was this clever nise te> throw m<
off? I looked at her keenly.

eyes flashed.'
'"I do believe you, and 1 ask your
pardon. But?I can't understand
your position here?as a servant?"
"Is it necessary that you should,
Mr. Barrows?" It was the icy voice
of my hostess. Being now without
defence I looked the picture of guilt.
"When I need any detective work,
Mr. Barrows. I will call upon you:?
perhaps. Until then, kindly refrain
from annoying my servants!"
It was evident she thought me j
smitten by the charms of her table
girl. So I was?yet?was a wellmeaning
young man ever in a more
awkward position?
"Nonsense, Lily! Mr. Barrows does
not deserve such abominable treatment!
And I'm not your servant!"
"Oh, Daphne, think what you are
saying!" implored Mrs. Carter of her
mutinous maid.
"I don't care. You'll have to tell
him, Lily. I'm sure he can be trusted
with our secret."
How blessed for that!

An Englishman's pride in his own
country is both admirable and humorous
at times. In a very good Western
story in Gunter's, entitled "The Remittance
Man," Preston Ward, the
writer, has his hero apostrophize
England in these words:
"I see a place where the grass Is
green?so green; you don't know
green, Tom, till you see English grass
aK rolled and pampered and trimmed
for hundreds of years by my father
and my father's father, and their
fathers back?so far. And there's
hedges?trim hedges, Tom, not a
great, rugged, cruel mountain ridge
that notches the horizon. English
hedges you can s?e over best when
n er>nfl nhl Irish hunter lifts his front
legs to take them. It takes your
breath, that lift, it does. Maybe a
little trout stream plays for a while
through the green?so green?grass;
it's an English trout stream?never
blustering nor making a fuss, about
itself like the mountain fellows here*
And the whole country's filled- with
trees?English trees.;. Great oaks
that have lived in our places'since

and the old families and .make them
what they are. They're not afraid to
stretch out; they don't get ashamed

no scrub oak nor shrubs nor cactus
in my England. And all the places
are laid out in straight lines, and all

lines, and the hedges mean that this
is mine and that is yours, but we
won't quarrel, about it, for we're all
Englishmen. Oh, it's a tight little
ylace, Tom; and it sometimes cramps
fellows like me and chafes us mortal
sore, and sometimes we?well, we
aren't as straight as the oaks, and
they make us ashamed to listen to
the English breeze whispering
through their English branches. But
it's tight little England?my England,
Tom! And that's what I see
down there in the mountains. It's
calling me home; calling me, calling
me homo like th3 echo we catch up

his traps on Sunday. He explained
by saying that on one occasion he
was taking a walk. It chanced to be
Sunday morning, and also he had
, casually passed near one of his traps.
In the jaws of the steel trap he discovered
a live mink. As the poor
creature was badly mangled and suffering,
he, out of humanity, took the
animal out and knocked it in the
i head.
This seemed to be satisfactory and
the charge was about to be dismissed
when Deacon Cobb sprang his
, trap: "Parson, did you set the trap
agin?" With a deprecatory wave of

Corset Covers.
The well fitting corset cover conbutes
largely to the success of the
>use or the gown. Here are two,
th of which are desirable. The
iked one will appeal to the women
10 like perfect smoothness above
5 waist line, while the gathered one
desirable for those of more slender

ind neck, while the gathered cover
sleeveless and made with a square
ck. All the materials that are used
garments of the sort are approlate.
As illustrated, however, tlje
:ked corset cover is made of batiste
ibroidered in French style, while
3 gathered corset cover is made of
vn trimmed with embroidery and

muslins are used as well as

Both corset covers are made with
jilts and back, but the tucked cort
cover is lengthened over the
