The Question Wa* Soon Settled , v ! By CLARISSA MAOUE "I don’t see how Soger BrlsMn can look at Aunt Lou when”— Fruity Louise Arden always flashed and stop ped when she reached this point in her oft repeated remark. In her own mind the reel conclnaion of the aen- tenca waa M wben .thare is such a young and beautiful girl aa I am in the seme house." Of course you can see thet Louise wee only sixteen end very conceited or she never would have been guilty of such e ^remark. She was e sweet girl, though, end perhaps the years would broaden whet now was a very narrow outlook on Ufa. “Why, Aunt Lou ia thirty yeara old If ehe’a a day,’’ went on Louise. Miss Ix>u Haysland waa more than thirty years old. Bhe was thirty-two, but nobody would have guessed It, be cause she retained all her girlish slim ness of form and her graceful carriage of shoulders end poise of bead. Mlae Haysland bad a wealth of deep chest nut heir that rippled from brow to nape of her white neck, end aha had greet violet eyes, with long, thick lashes and the meet charming fea tures In the world. Besides ell this personal beauty, she had e sunny dis position and was sweet end amiable to the point of self sacrifice. Her namesake, Louise, had watched her pretty aunt vanish down tbe snowy atreet tucked under the buffalo robes in Roger Brlsbin’s sleigh, end It waa a alight attack of jealousy that was responsible for the younger Lou ise's unkind remarks. She would have been proud to be Roger'e companion, but It was Aunt Lou whom be chose to Invite on every occasion, and peo ple were beginning to any that Roger Brisbin certainly meant business Louise dressed herself In e pretty gray chinchilla coat. In which she looked eepeclally lovely, for aha waa e dark, sparkling beauty, w1ti|biack eyes and brilliant color of cheek and llpe. On her heed she pinned e eaocy grey hat wfth a scarlet wing, and, tucking her hand* In her muff, ahe went down tjie atreet toward Homer Beekford'a stationery atone. In front of tbe window she welted a long while, gaslng et tbe handsome display of valentines In tbe two large window*. 8be Intended to buy sev eral to send anonymously to girl fiienda, but her bright eye* could not help but stray to the hap doom eat one lu tbe window It wea e large white satin affair with band palm ted cuplds and hearta upon it Intwlned with wreathe of tiny roses. Beneath all this waa a sen tence, “I have waited for the*.’' I/oulae sighed. Bhe would have been happy Indeed If ahe had received that valentine and known that Roger Bris bin had aeot It to her. for—yea, I must confeee thet Ix>ulae was almost In love with her charming aunt'a admirer. 8he slipped Inside tbe store to make sure of something. Her romantic mind harbored the Idee that possibly, by some freak of circumstance, Roger Brlabln really did prefer her to her Aunt Ix>u, ouly he could not at tbla lime breek off with Miss Haysland. If thla was the case and Roger waa se cretly nourishing a preference for Lon Is# Instead of Lou, then -then, conclud ed Louise, whet was more natural than be should seud her a beautiful valentine? He would no donbt select tbe moet beautlfol and coetly one In Beckford's store, end thet wee tbe white satin beauty. If she did receive tbe white setla valentine Louise would know from whence It cam* unless there happened to be more then on* of tbe whit* ones In tbe store; then It might be from moet anybody, for Louise Arden had several boyish admirers. 8be would go In and Inquire now Tbe store was empty, of customers aa she entered. Homer Beckford’s son, young Homer, stood behind tbe coun ter looking over e tray of valentines and rearranging them In order, for It had been a busy afternoon. When be saw Loulae coming In a little flush reddened hla ears, and hla light bine eyes sparkled. He was In love with pretty young Loulae. “Good afternoon, Homer,” said Lon- lee carelessly as she came np to the counter. ”1 want to inquire the price ef thet white satin beauty in tbe win dow.” “Five dollars, Loulae,” said Homer. "But you’re too late—itia sold.” ‘'Who bought it?" Inquired Louise saucily. "Ton know I can’t tell that” “Not to m*7 I won’t tall,” urged Louies. “I can’t—don’t aak me to. If It waa anything except e valentine I might ten." Homer wee looking much em barrassed and die treated over the mat ter—auaplcloualy so. “Humph r commented the displeased Louie* as she walked down the store toward the show window. *T suppose I may look at It a moment Any rule against thetT" “None et all.” was Homer's cheerful reply, and ha unhook ad the white eat- in valentine from its place in the win dow and gave it Into Lonlse’e bends. She looked et it long and earnestly. She had seen it before—in feet ever since it had been hong in tke window— It to her te the i If the valentine was told the name ef the purchaser was probably traced on the beck of tbe mleelre. If Ho mer would only tun hla bead the oth er way ah* would steal a glance at tba reran* of the valentine end see whether Roger really wee tbe pur chaser. If hla name was there It must be for her. He certainly would never dream of sanding anything ao sweetly romantic to e woman aa old as Annt Lou—an old maid I “Will you pleas* bring me e drink of water, Homer7" eh* asked prettily, end Homer hastened to obey her re quest While he was gone eh* turned the valentine over end saw the word “Bold” and the initials “R. B.” Her heart sang with joy. When Homer Beck ford returned Louise had replaced the valentine In the window end wee looking over a trayful of leea expensive ones. Her eyes sparkled with happiness, and she wee very gracious to Homer Beck- ford, who felt exceedingly happy him self. - *■ “Too liked that white satin one. didn’t you, LoulaeT" he asked as be wrapped her purchases. “It is lovely,” sighed Louise. "Is It the only on* you’ve got?" “Tee, the only one w* had In stock Ilka that Father tboogfat there wasn't any nee In stocking up with many ex pensive ones, aa there Isn’t much tale for them here In Haleford." “I wouldn’t mind receiving that on* myself,” hinted Louise as ahe left the store. “Ferhep* you will,” called young Homer, and immediately ducked down beneath the counter to hide hla em barrassment The following day would be 8t Tal- entlne’a day. Louis* waa reading in the library when her Annt Lou reach ed home Just at dusk. Miss Haysland came into the room, looking very love ly In her dark bine velvet and funs. Her cheeks were delicately flushed, and her large violet eyes held a depth of feeling they had never displayed before. Louise caught her breath as she re allzed her aunt’s loveliness, and for a moment the felt very sorry to think of tbe tragedy that lay In store for Aunt Lon. She wondered lf-ebeought not to probe ber aunt's feelings con cerning tbe matter and sort of pave the way for the denouement that must one day come when Aunt Lou discov ered that Roger Brlsbln loved the beautiful young niece and not the handsome aunt. “Well, puaele, you ar# snug and warm In here.” smiled Aunt I-ou. bending down to kiss ber nteeffs cheek and then holding her own hands to the fire. "Tee Ob, Aunt Lou! Oen you alt down a moment? I want to aak you a question You will try to be celm 1 and not break down, won't youT’ urged ber romantic niece. “What la the matter? What baa happened?” cried Misa Hayaland In alarm, starting toward the door j “Tour mother”— “It'e not that sort of trouble. Aunt I Lou'” cried Louies Impatiently. “It'e only—ouly—would you feel very badly if Roger Brlsbln really wea eating hla heart out for another girl—somebody | quite young and beautiful—who—who couldn't help hla falling In love with her?” I/Oulee warmed to the eubjert. i She felt like the heroine In a melo drama. Mias Haysland grew very pale and 1 leaned against tbe mantel. "What do you mean. l oulae? What right have you to aak me such a question? What right have you to attack Mr Brlabln { In that mannerV | l/outee waa frightened, and she turn ed her heed away, and a sullen look came around her month “Of course you wouldn't believe It,” ahe said sig nificantly. “No. I would not,” said Miss Hays land with emphasis. “Look here, Lon lie.” and she held out her slender left hand, on which gleamed a large dia mond. "I am engaged to be married to Mr. Brlabln. You can understand why I must laugh at anything ao ri diculous ae you suggest” •'I'm very glad. I’m eure,” said I»n- lae atlffly and left the room after giv ing her aunt a cool klas of congratula tion. Later on she made up fur her coldness by e delightful warmth Now ahe waa hurt and jealous and waa anxious to seek the seclusion of her ewn room. Aa she crossed the hell the door open ed and her brother Dick entered with tbe evening mall. “A big valentine for you. Louise," he caltRl and tossed her a square white package. Despite hie brotherly gibes ahe flew up to ber room and tore open the | wrappings. Inalde was the white sat in valentine. Bhe turned It over. The Initials had been erased, but ahe could ■ee tbe faint Indentation of tbe pencil > marks. Tbe first Initial must have ! been an “H”- instead of an “R.”l Who waa “H.
