ZARICK. 7 j Both ltowley uiwl Hart have Urns | honored in** with their contldeuees. j Kven when we wore chums at school I ! was the repository of their secrets, the i mediator In their quarrels. It was one day when I sat hy my I studio window that ltowley and Hart arrived together at my door. They sat down, ltowley looked at Hart. Hart returned the compliment. Sllennr"i?'h sued. "Hoys," said I, at length, "you had belter toss up for who speaks tlrst." They grinned uneasily and then ltow ley, who is, perhaps, just a thought quicker than Iliifct* opened the conver sation. ?"Jack," he began, "you know Rllss Annie Seymour?" 1 nodded alllrmatlvely. "Well," he continued, "it's about her. You see, we're both very much in love with her." "And She?" I asked. llart took up the thread. "She 1ms been nice ? very nice to both of us," he said. "In fact, Jack, we cannot decide which of us she preiers. And we don't want to take Hny unfair advantage." "But ? " I began. "You don't see what we're driving at, eh? Well, I'll explain, If llart will al low me. We Just want you to be the same kind old Jack you've always been. We want you io ? to ? well, dash It all ? we want you to tlnd out for us which of the two she really does want to marry." I sat up, and lit a cigar. "You see, boys," said I, "there's a little dilliculty In the way which yon don't seem to have considered. Miss Annie Seymour barely knows me." "Oh, but she does, and likes you, too !" This from Hart. "Boys," said I, "It's a ticklish mis sion, but I promise you I'll do my best." " "Dear me, Mr. Wlnton! You hav? been an unjustifiable time about call ing." "My dear Miss Seymour, one cannot set lightly about important functions." "You call on the muses dally, I aua told." '' *" "But they are never at home, I as sure you." "I wish I were a muse," remarked Miss Seymour, with an adorable smile. "But you are," I protested. "You certainly are ? the tenth muse. The muse of ? " "Of afternoon tea, of course. Won't you have some tea, Mr. Wlnton?" "By the way," was my first shot, "I saw John Hart yesterday." "Indeed? Sugar, Mr. Wlnton?" "And Bob ltowley, too. Saw them both together." "iteally ! Cream, Mr. Winton?" Both of my shots had failed ! For a young woman supposed to be deeply interested in two young men, Miss Sey mour's matter-of-fact reception of those young men's names seemed sin gular Indeed. It were useless to detail oUr conver sation. Suffice it that, although I re turned again and again to the charge, ; I failed to arouse in Miss Seymour the slightest evidence of Interest either in Hart or ltowley. . And the odd part of it was that she changed the subject from iiiy friends' affairs to mine ? displaying, indeed, a flattering, if unaccountable interest in all my humble doings. In the end, I became desperate. Daring tactics, I felt, were the oqly means at hand. "Miss Seymour," I said, "you do not seam to be enthusiastic over either Hob Rowley or Jack Ilart." Up went Miss Seymour's eyebrows. "Well, hardly !" she exclaimed. "I don't see why I should be." "Now suppose ? just suppose ? that one of theuwvere to fall hopelessly in love with *t\ certain Miss Seymour, would there be any hope for him?" Miss Seymour set down her tea cup and looked at me sternly ? that is to say, a severely as she could. "Mc. Winton," she remarked, "you were asked to come here and put that ques tion to me !" "No," I said, "not that one ? I have overstepped my mission." I began studying the shape of my boots, and wondering which was the _fooU Jiad-Just^'put into It^ r Then there was' a little final ctyit as I took my leave.- I don't quite know how it camp to pass, but just before I departed Miss Seymour asked me, "Yotf don't read your Longfellow, do you Mr. Winton?*' "Well ? no," I replied ; "not Shakes perially, as one might say." "There Is some really excellent com mon sense In Longfellow. Good-by, Mr. WInton.T" About half way down the street I Stopped suddenly. "Longfeflowi" Iremarked to myself. "Longfellow? Now what has Long fellow got to do with my Uttle schemes? . She Is not a young woman who makes remarks without reason or connection. And then her look when sne said ? 1 I'll swear there Is some consoling message for poor Bob and John cencealed between the covers of Longfellow?" And ften, all of a sadden, a pre* Sumptuous thought set t my mind awhlrL . I hastened home and took down a I copy of Longfellow's poems from my i library shelf. As fate woQld bare It, : I opened the rolume at the line, "Whj don't you speak for yourself, Jobar (OWrtfht, 1^ bJ^^cCTwe . KKOM WRHTV11XK KOITK ?, WestviUo, August 2Jj. ?
