Z He was one of the kind of people who come naturally by a nickname. The major was one of the moat methodical of men. Promptly at nine o'clock he came down fresh and pink from breakfast, read his mall in the comfortable seclusion of the writing room, dictated the answers to his letters to the hotel stenographer, lit a fresh cigar at the cigar stand, and then dull business cares were brushed , . . ? ^ . L.l asiae ana ne repaired wun epngnuy steps to the bar. One day in the midst of the letters, Miss Mitchell looked up for an instant at a lady who was passing through the lobby. "What an exquisite bunch of violets," she said. "Very pretty," replied the major, following her glance, and then they went on with their work. The next morning a neighboring floriet's boy placed a fine bunch of English beauties In the little bud vase on Miss Mitchell's desk, and morning after morning this was repeated. After the morning dictation during one of the little chats which the major had come to allow himself, Misa Mitchell, one day expressed a very adverse opinion about the men who drank and were "fast" This speech had a marked effect 11 nnn fHo Uyvu VUQ UiUJUi I The very next day, after his baslness routine, the major left a forwarding address with the clerk on duty and registered out. , J A month?two months passed, and still the major had not returned to his old corner in the Windeor bar. The only mark of his long residence at the hotel was the little bunch of fresh violets which daily adorned Miss Mitchell's desk. One day, as unheralded as had been his departure, the major returned to the Windsor. His complexion was whiter and hie eyes were clearer, otherwise he was the same old major, careless, lively and jovial. He dictated his letters to Misa Mitchell as usual the next morning, but it was observed and marked with much special notice that he did not follow his old habit of turning toward the bar immediately thereafter. Instead nf this, he stenned into a big automobile that stood at the door, and was away In a trice. At feast once he asked Miss Mitchell to ride with him, hut she met the proposal with a cheerful "no, thank 700," that left no room for doubt about her decision. A morning came on which he attended to bis correspondence with more than usual care. In addition to the regular grind of business he wrote .4 some long delayed missives to old college friends?dashing, brilliant, unconventional letters they were, full of the boyish spirit which the major etill held, notwithstanding his acknowledged thirty-eight years. When he had quite finished, he drew from hie pocket an important looking paper. "Miss Mitchell, I have a very particular matter I wish to speak about ?No, you needn't take my words down on paper?I'm not dictating. The fact is?I am?thinking of?well, giving you the chance of dictating some to me, if you think proper." ?- * - - ? ?? ?f- i?k. " \V ny?wnai ao you useau, mr. iiur bourne," she asked, her large, heavy lashed eyes looking the utmost wonder. "It's a very simple matter. Miss Mitchell?at least I used to think It was when I observed the symptoms In other folks. But?don't look at. me like that?you might pretend you are taking notes; some one will see and wonder what we are talking about?" "Oh, if it's anything?improper, you mustn't say It, Mr. Ebsbourne." 8he was plainly agitated. "Not the very least Improper, little one, but the most natural thing that ever occurred to me in all my wild, harum-scarum life. Now, listen calmly; If what I say Is not pleasing you, I will stop, and we will not talk about It any more. I love you. 1 can't help loving you, any more than I could help breathing or living if I didn't breathe." "Why?Mr. Ebsbourne," she replied, "I don't think I care for you In any way like that." "I didn't expect you to, little one. But you can give ihe a little hope, can't you? You don't dislike me, do you?" "I think you are very kind." "That's enough?that's enough? Don't need to say another word. Ill go now and let you get used to the idea of having a lover." "Thank you," was all Miss Mitchell could think of to say. TViQ cnrniol ma nnno nf the mnlnr's planning. He only knew that he was speeding down the river road one afternoon, when a young horse driven by a market gardener took fright and plunged about, backing the heavy wagon directly across his way at the moment when he supposed the driver was going to be able to manage his team without further difficulty. There was a crash and the major felt a sharp twinge of pain. When he again opened his eyes, they were carrying him in at the ladies' entrance of the Windsor. At last there came a day when the doctor told the major he might see his friends. The major said something in the strictest confidence to his nurse, and after a very long time Miss Mitchell came up accompanied by a sweet-faced, motherly little woman in black, whom the major knew by instinct must be Miss Mitchell's mother. "Mr. Eksbourne," said Miss Mitchell, timidly, "I didn't know I cared in that way, but 1 do." '. &?
