She talked of other matters 1 Cor awhile, then eeld carelessly: * "Bow would yon like a trip abroad T" 1 *T should be delighted, bat It would 1 east Borena thousand dollars." "I will furnish the amount neceasary ' en one condition?that on your return i yon spend a weak with me." The conditions ware accepted. Arms- I by want abroad and on his return J want directly to his aonfs country 1 . house, where she waa st the time. At i dinner be was presented to Miss Lucy < Btheon. He eaw at once that he had ' been drawn into a trap. He had ] agreed to apend a week In the house and waa to be besieged by this yonng woman. 1 i ma wan true, and (Here was mora i that he wan not aware of. Miss E1I1- ] son bad a wny with bar that was very i UkliiK with men. No one could find I out exactly why, but they tumbled | ornr one another In endeavoring to win a aralle from her. Sometimes she was coy. aometlmes aggressive. Bbe knew when to be tbe one and when to be the other. 1 Aruiaby was Indignant at tbe trick t his aunt had played blin. After din- c uer, dudlnjr Iter alone, he said to her: f "Annt. you hare brought me here In a order that tliln girl may get me for s | .husband. I will keep my contract. 1 . will remain with yon a week, but you ^ may tell your friend that I will have ^ nothing to do with Iter. I shall expect t you to order my meals served In my . room." ( "Certainly. Bert; anything you a , ? wish." _ J The next morning Armsby sent > downstairs for the morning paper and , eat himself down by his window to ' read the news. J3lancing up from It, ! there la a hammock swung between i two trues was Miss Ellison In a pure '. white summer costume, a dream of ! loveliness. Tbers were no windows In J Armsby's room that did not face In 1 that direction, and the only way he could shut out the view was to draw the shade. This he did, but the Interior of his room soon grew tiresome, and he raised It again. *?WV IVWUf UVVTU VU UIQ Uwiw, trying to conjure np some plan for freeing himself from the tope to which he most be subjected for a week. He wee free to spend a portion of each day elsewhere, bat he had no Mends In the neighborhood, and how can a man amose himself alone? Be began to realise, to speak In commonplace language, that he waa tn a hole. He went down to the library, selected a book, retained and sat himself down to read. Bat somehow In spite ef all be coald do his eyes would wander from the'book and ont to the girl tn the hammock. Barely It waa a pleasing picture, so relaxed. The folds ef the skirt hang gracefully over the side of the hammock; the point of a dainty white slipper peeped beyond a fringe of lace. Armsby sent down word to his aunt that he wished his room changed to the other side of the house. After luncheon he went for a walk, bat he did not go far?the day waa too warm. Returning, he took a siesta and, when be awoke, went to the window. There eat or, rather, reclined Mies Ellison on a rustic bench, propped by half a doxen pillows. She saw him, wared her band te him and smiled. The smile vu * telling shot. Armsby couldn't forget it He robbed his yes to get rid of it, bat It woald not be downed. There was something so wrasoal In this barefaced attempt to eaptnre him that It began to Interest htm. Barefaced or not. Its very aggressiveness captivated him. He had a mind to let the girl have her way lost to sea what she would do with htm. Besides, how was he to live for week by himself? The first day ?mad tnterminable. What would be the last? An eternity. Anyway, be wottM rather stand siege, with the ftseflom of the booee, than shot np in Ma ieos. * ? > * a Bo ^e" lowered trie flag so far as this Whs concerned, went downstairs and thereafter took Ms meats with the oth n*. mum i niwm ror nve days confirmed her aggressive tactics, then changed HIM a south wind hauling to the north and froae htm. The remaining two days of the time net for his Mt she kepthlm In tortures, relented en the sixth, and on the seventh he declared that If aba dtdnl love him he would blow out his brains. What Annsby's aunt wanted was that the girl, of whom she was very fond, should enjoy her property as the wife of her nephertr. What Miss EUI ) ? \ i Cheerinete Will Help.
