Rpfore entering ou her dutlea be said to her: "It Irtto l>e expected that both my l*o>s will toll In love with you. Nei ther ha* o cent In the world eacept wh*t I give him. It behooves you, therefore, If you are to retain yonr position to wnlli a chalk Hue. Do jou Imderstand? “1 dq.” Fix months later tho younger boy, Alev, said to her: “You arc trltllug!” ‘•Trifling with wbomT’' “Me.” jflqucllne laughed. “Yer.terday you were very sweet to me; this morning I nnvt you Bitting in tho window sent with Tom, and It looked to mo as If he were bolding, yenr baud.” "1 lore your brother.” “Vou Confess It?" ''Yes, and I love you. too. Alex. Do we not make one faintly? Fluce I came tn hero os housekeeper, offer your mother’s death, 1 have striven to make your homo ns happy as possible. Yon and Tom, Imdend of-thwartlog me by making love to me, should treat me with proper reserve. You must re- mem Iter that, living under the same roof with two. such susceptible boys, I must walk n chalk Hue.” “I am willing you should do so pro vided you walk that line with me.” “With you? And what would yon have me do with Tom?!.’ “Ob, Tom is not ns much in love Is I am. lie'll get over It." - 4 “Como, come, cease thfa absurdity. 1 am three years your .senior and am Just Tom’s nge. By this silly contest you’ll spoil everything.” “Well; If you Insist upon walling a chalk line, ns you call It. you’ll flud you’ll have to walk It with some one, and I could never bear to Bee you walk It with any one but me.’’ “Go away and beharo yourself.” Alex went away and Instead of “he- having himself” went straight to Tom. They had been loving brothers until ihe appearance of Jaquellnc, ’ since when they had been growing In eu mlty. The two were spoiling for a fight. Tom opened fire. " ‘•You have been spooning with Jaque- Hne." “Fuppoee I have. What’s that to you ?” "Oh, nothing. If JaquoUne cares for the attention of a mefe boy scarcely out of bts teens.” “Hub, you are not bo old os she your self!” “1 am but ten days her Junior. Her birthday comes on th* 44tb, mine on the 24th. Besldgs, I am pn*t twenty- one and a man. You are still a boy.” Alex could not brook his brother’s superior manner. Alex's age, or. rath- er. his yoBtk. was a sore point with him. and Toni's holding it up. before him was like shaking a red rag before a mad bull. ’“I wish you to understand.” be said, “that 1 am old enough to know my own mind, nn^. take warning. I will hare no more interference from you.” “You should consider the position In which Jnquellne Is placet!. Jaquellnc. you know. In this household, admired. I admit, by me and beset by you, must walk a chalk"— “So she lias Iteen talking about that chalk line to you. has she? I told her that If she must walk It 1 am the only man she shall walk It with.” “You mean tho only boy. Women don't need to walk chalk Hues with boys.” *T'1I tell you what I’ll do with you. navi Alex, glancing at bis brother. ‘TH fight you over a chnlk line.” "Do you suppose I would strike njy Ilttlo brotherT’- This was pnrs bluff, for Toro was but five feet five and slender, while Alex was five’feet ten and muscular. ‘‘The reason I proposed to fight you over a line.” sneered Alex, ‘is to give you a chance to get out of the way. You would have the advantage of my not being able to follow you np.” Alex ran off for a piece of chalk, which ha found in the billiard room, and, coming back with It, removing the rugs, drew a straight line on the floor; then, taking position, he dared his brother to stand up and face Tom was loath to do so, both fearing (o have Jnquellne catch him In so jin- dignlfted a position as fisticuffs with her youthful lover nnd knowing that Alex was the better man. However, after Alex had sneered at him, called him coward nnd threatened to trbuneo him anyway If ho didn’t stand up and fight like n man he concluded to give the boy a chance to work off his wrath. So, taking position on one Bide of the line, he began to parry the blows that rained from the other. While the two young men were In the thickest of the fray the portiere was suddenly drawn hhek, and their father and Jaqueliue stood In the doorway, an amused ex pression on the face of each. “Boys,” said (fie father, “stop this nonsense. Jnquellne has told me of the persistence of both of yon. She has told you that her position here between two such fiery lovers could ^only lie maintained by her walking a chalk Hue." Both l>oys groaned. "You have Insisted on her walking that line with some one, and she has concluded to walk It with me. Cense this ridiculous struggle and give your new mother that Is to he a kiss." Tom Went to Jnquellne and, taking her band, raised It respectfully to his lips. Alex, who was full of emotion nnd very youtbfwl -ln bis feeflngs, threw his arms around Her. ~"v ELINOR T. BOYD.
