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 '

The conditions ware accepted. Arms- I

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.

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

be downed. There was something so
wrasoal In this barefaced attempt to
eaptnre him that It began to Interest

captivated him. He had
a mind to let the girl have her way
