Ihe Man She Loved * By RALPH HAMILTON <Copyright, lilt, by Wectora Nowapopor Caioa.i “A heartless coquette I” M I fancy you are rl^ht. Miss Gladys Trent has certainly Von the record of a finished flirt.” The *i>enkers at a popular city club did not know that they hod an Inter ested auditor. Arthur Worrell, a stranifer to them, seated at an adjoin lug table, gave a quick start. His Lunds clenched. Sudden anger blazed m his eyes. Then be banished resent- meut and Indignation and pressed a band over n jacket In his coat. There rested the faded bud of n rose the young lady in question had given him only a week previous. It recalled the velvety clieek he had been allowed to kiss, the sweet voice that had jnur- mured In Ids enraptured ear. “I shall love you always.” The memory had power to restrain him from a fierce assault upon the reckless gossipers who had bandied her name. Still he listened. “Yes,” observed the first speaker, “it’s a long line of admirers for the haughty social queen.” ‘‘I don’t quite understand her, though,” rejoined his companion. “She charms a suitor only to coldly turn hiip down In the finality. It must be that she covets having a constant train of worshipers, recruited anew as she wearies of the original adorers.” The speaker entered into details of the season’s catches of Miss Trent. Their story was circumstantial and they talked like men well aware of the premises. A qufclrn of slight dis tress afflicted Arthur as the men moved away from the table and he re- -flected over what they had said Tonld he doubt Gladys Trent? Ah, no! A thought of her dear, truthful face abided with him. They had met at a quiet, remote summer resort, and for two weeks he had been under the spell of her charms. He had told her of his love. She had frankly responded to his plea, but had spoken of her aunt, Mrs. Walworth, a city social leader, and Ipd invited Arthur to call at her home when she returned thither. It was the afternoon of the day when Gladys was to arrive in the city. Arthur was seated in his office await ing his automobile, which he had or dered by phone. He chanced to glance over a newspaper. He started visibly as bis eye fell upon the Item: “The Grand Pre Asphalt company of Mississippi went Into the hands of a receiver today.'* I ArOngjM-ifrrflKl. rtwcfcpl H« had received no intimation that the CoaapaniL was weak^ UJCwm. fefd failure he was a poor*man with tKe exception of a few thousande.

It *hall be a teat.** An hour later he was It the Wal worth Mansion. Gladys received him warmly, and motioning toward a drap ery said. ”My auut will be here shortly.” "Before she comes I have something to show you, Gladys,” spoke Arthur seriously, and he handed her the Item he lind cut from the newspaper. “That means that I am a poor man.” "Why do you tell me that?” ahe In quired. “Becnuse it so materially alters ray status.” “Not w-lth me,” she Instantly Inter rupts! him. “Arthur, if you were the u-orkl Jv woukl . marry you. If you would take me.” “Gladys r Sternly, coldly Mrs. Walworth spoke as she entered the room. She had overheard what had passed betw’een the two. *T presume this Is the Mr. Worrell you mentioned.” she said slowly, with a chilling glance at Arthur. “Under the circumstances he will, of course, recognize the propriety of abandoning his pretensions for your hand.” ' “But I do not wish him to,” spoke Gladys clearly. “Aunty, for two years I have tried to please you to your ambition to place me high In society. I have been pleasant to fortune seek ers until they have infringed on my conception of real love. Then, at the risk of being termed a heartless flirt, I have dismissed them. I have been waiting for my ideal—I have found him. I shall become the wife of Mr. Worrell the day he asks me.” Mrs. Walworth walked out of the room, highly affronted and indignant. ‘Ton will come again later," dear,” whispered Gladys as Arthur left the room. At his office Arthur found il tele- gram awaiting him. It was from his father and It read: “Action nt the plant merely n friendly receivership to provide for liquidation of the busi ness—your rights protected.” When he called at the Walworth home that evening he found the mis tress alojie in the reception room. “I will inform my niece you are here,” she said loftily, and arose to leave the apartment. “One moment, please,” spoke Ar thur, and exhibited the telegram. This veyy materially changes my circum stances.” ‘ “Oh. you young people!” cried Mrs. Walworth, pleasantly enough now. “Ton will have your owrn headstrong way!” “I hope yon will be my friend,'* re sponded Arthur, noting the politic change !n her manner. -“1'surety wish Butter From Coconut Milk.

It’s bells jin gled merrily, and thd minister awak ened from a study by the sight ef two branching paths, pulled up hi& horse, trying lo recollect which of the two led to Cutting’s Corners. He had listened absently, during his unappetizing dhiner, while the fann- er’sj^vife had tiresoraely directed him: “ft&wn Plnre Hill to Burden’s Cross ing, then turn—” which way?— to “Cutting’s Corners.” - v Paul Hyland could not remember; and there was no sign post to give in formation. It was all so different from what he in his enthusiastic zeal hud planned. This flifet humble charge which even his ability fdund difficulty In fulfilling—<he stuffy boarding place, the village church with its weary pld members. And now the added charge of afternoon service nt Cutting’s Cor ners. He was, in fact, in no sense the man for the place. One older in expe rience could better understand these people’s unchanging needs. He. in his youth, was fired with the d«flsire for building work, Paul wanted to see things grow about him. He want ed eager faces among the resigned ones In the pews; young cheery voices, in place of hu&hed and trembling ones in the choir. His innovations were frown ed upon.' Paul was not sure that his popple-looked upon him with rwpect His tvvb college chums wrote joyous ly of their happy fields of neat par sonages, where ftmog devot%d wives assisted in their labors. Paul had been too absorbed to devote time to forming attachment. He had wondered while nt college at his friends’ divided interests. • Now they had passed him upon the road to success. He w’as as much qlone and. apart in the world at he seemed now, hesitating between two pathways in the midst of the w’hite expanse. With a momentary return of boyish daring he laughed, turning twfVtly to the right; he would take a chance. If after a reasonable time, no church structure appeared, he would reverse hi* way and try the other road. An Impatient waiting congregation would he but another evidence of his unsuit ability for this position. But far down the desolate way, his anxious gaze searched out white church tower. There were lights in the windows, shining % welcomeXThe young man's spirits arose Involun tarily. He was hununong a tune, aa he drove the horse around to the adja cent farm. Then Paul entered tha edi fice. It was larger than he had thought, and more Inviting than the church where hla regular services were held. But he was earlier than he had anticipated. Except for a girl’s figure hovering about the pulpit, the room was empty. He saw in the bright light that ahe was grouping flowers about the pulpit, blooming plants which showed loving cure. And the girl was humming, too, a bright little song that echoed In one’s heart. # Paul came forward, bowing as he removed .hat and clonk. “I am the new pastor,” he said to the girl, “are we early7” As she turned and surveyed him, Paul caught his breath. She was such a lovely girl; her face sweetly appeal- iiqr, ii-t always dreamed one should meet her. And there, with the flowers In her arms and her clear eyes upon him, Paul realized wonderlngly, yet with quick assurance, that this was tjie one woman, whom he had met at lost. “I thought,” she replied that you were not to come until four o’clock, though the people will assemble before then. I,” she explained, “am a trus tee’s daughter. I’ve been trying to make the place look homelike for you.” With the bell tolling its message overhead, the two sat together In an oaken pew, talking as young people will talk whose aims and asplratlqns are the same. And when Paul gave his message that day, It found an an swer in the eager faces upraised to his. The trustee ppused perplexedly when he came to him afterwarA “Your name Is Paul Hyland,” he said. Yet, I^yland, Is the name of a young minister over at Pine Hill, while we were told to expect an older man named Hilliard.” Then all at once the Joyous light left the young preacher’s eyes. “I see,” he said, “that my being here is a J, You are cordially mailed to attend «£ Our Spring Millinery and Ready- 1 i to-Wear Opening, mistake.

Perhaps that was the rUrht turn after all. We will see if a transfer can be made between the churches, i think it can.” And Paul, turning, read approval in the girl’s eyes. .
