The girl whom Donald loved irst year ,was christened Frances, and ho used to call her Farmhy. Also, he addressed her by various endearing terms, but that Is of no consequence. Such words aply to the new love as to the old. A fel'ow may call a girl "sweetheart" as the result of a halbit of speech ac quired before ho knew her, and she cannot detect the crime, but if he ler mista In calling her "dearest Fanny" when her nIame' is Ielen she will in dict him for perjury. It is painful to speak evil of a twoman, but candIor compels the state mient that Fanny wis a dressniaker's dummy anliniated by a soul that would have been considered imercenary in a pawnbroker. Donald 00ould not per ceive it. Everybody else knew that her desertion of him and her narriage .with a man old enoigh to be her grandfather ought to have been pub lished by the press uider the head of "Financial Transactions." But )onald, ,who was a highly imaginative person and had always surrounded Fanny .with a mist of illusions, believed that the occurrence was one of those subtle ,mysteries of love which, in the words of Lord Dundreary, no fellow can find out. A man of simpler mind would have sent up a strong prayer of thanksgiv ing for a great deliverance, but it pleased this dreamer to imagine that ,he had suffered a loss. Fanny was a young lady with con siderable social pretensions, and, after ahe turned her back upon Donald, he turned his upon society. Ile wander ed into artistic Bohemia, and there lie ,met Helen, who was regarded in that region -as an infant phenonienon. As a matter of fact, she was 22 years old .nd had worked hard under -lie very best teachers since the earliest day Owhen such instruction could profitably begin, but she looked like a girl of 163 who had never done anything more aerious than chase butterflies in the filelds. Henco Bohemiagk, which judges 1by appearances even when the facts In the case are perfeetly well known, persisted in holding her to be an in spired child. Donald was more shocked than -pleased when this ideal of maidenly -innocence invited him to come to see her any time, adding the information that she was living in a big building full of bachelors of both sexes, in a 'little suilt that wvas all her own. 1Her guick eye caught the expression that tiitted across his countenance, and she ?Was amused, perhaps a little piqued also. "I am chaperoned by a large bull dog," said she, "and when you see his teeth you will admit that the strictest social code could require no *At an early day Donald made the ac quaintance of this novelty in chaper ons, and he was forced to confess that the animal was competent to p'reserve the decorum of any company accord ing to such idleas as he might have on the subject. Yet the young man .was still of the opinion that the mte nage left much to be dleslred. HeI was so much older than Helen, haviug just turned 30, that direful milestone at tihe end of youth, that he ventured to give her advice. "You're going to be famous some day," said he, "and in my opinion it .will be pretty soon. Then you'll want to get into society, and this sort of thing will be against you. If you only had an aunt or something like that" "Why in the world should I want to get into society?7" asked the girl. "Everybody wants to get into so ciety," saidl Donald. "That's where the money Is, amid, of course, your ultimate object in piainting pictures is to sell them for the best possible Drices. Moreover, though you are too -young to think of It yet, there is the question of matrimony." "I meet a man or two, now and then," said Helen, "poor, tbut honest, moat of them, and yet" "My young friend," rejoined Donald, "never marry except for love, but re member, as an artist, that you can view a great deal more scenery from a hteam yacht thtan you can from the Jersey City ferryboat." "Cerberus," said Helen to the dog, "do you hear what the young man is Italking about?" Oerberus growled, "You do not practice what you Vreach," continued the girl. "If you did, you would not be here." S"Oh, it's all over with me," he re poined. "It makes no (difference what Sdo now. Of course, you're not to ~ke offense at that. I come here be ause I wish most earnestly to be your tfrend; because you teach me many tings; bpenta~e I am happier here than ~lsewher.
