am sure," said Mrs. Itailton, ti\iug
me with her eagle glance, before
which even bishops have been known
to quail -"I nin sure yon will like to
be the lirst to congratulate Sylvia on
her engagement to Mr. Oswald Fitzgerald."
"liut Mr. Fitzgerald"- I began.
"Is suitable in every way." continued
Mrs. Itailton, heedless of in.v attempted
remark. "lie i- just the man to make
Sylvia a capital husband."
"lie has, i am aware. s."jo,e: n a year,"
I said bitterly "but he is old enough to
bo her father."
"My dear Herald." remonstrated Mrs.
Railton in her most bland tone, "bow
can you say such things! Mr. Fitzgerald
is quite a young man still, and by
many people he is considered extremely
handsome. Fray don't put stu b notions
into Sylvia's head."
T lielit mv itoileo -t n.l Ml'ief
my countenance carefully for u l'ew
moments Mrs. Itailton continued: "I
have told you this because 1 have
thought?although, of course. I may he
mistaken?that your affection for Sylvia
has been becoming a little more
than cousinly. ! should he >orry if"?
"My dear aunt." I broke in impetuously.
"what is the us;- of your trying
to blink facts': You knew quite well
that I have been making d> spentte love
to Sylvia ever since she was ten years
old."
"A mere l?oy ami girl tlirtalion." said
Mrs. Itailto!).
"Perhaps." I sai?l. tryin. to speak
nonchalantly; "hut. at any rate, 1 do
not mean to eonyratulnh Sylvia on her
engagement to an old man with dyed
hair and false teeth. If it had been a
young man. it would have been different.
I don't believe she earn; for hi ill
any more than she cares for the man
in the moon."
My tirade fizzled out rather Ineffectively.
but I was feeling genuinely savage.
and the necessity of keeping up a
calm exterior lief on* my ; ant oppressed
inc. I wanted to go out and
hit somebody. So I made a somewhat
hasty departure without wailing ti see
Sylvia. On the way hack to my rooms
in the Metropolitan club I hroode-l over
my wrongs. There could he no doubt
that Sylvia had treated me very badly.
I recalled numerous sentimental little
passages between us. Itesldes, I had
proposed to her regularly every week
for the last two years without any definite
result, It is true, but still with no
decided negative.
I sat down in my room dejectedly
and pondered over the ways of vtwuic?j
in general and of Sylvia in particular.
Then I went to a drawer and took out
a box wherein lay a miniature portrait
of Sylvia, some letters from her.

With the mercury 3o degrees below
zero two Merideu (Conn.) women have
boon sleeping all night in the open air
on the veramla of their home.
They are both consumptives. Last
July their cases were declared hopeless.
As a last resort a physician advised
sleeping in tlie open air. They
have not slept a night indoors since.
Throughout the winter they have established
their bed on an upper veranda
promptly at !> p. m. Their hedclothing
has consisted of one blanket and
one comfortable. In case of rain or
snow a rubber covering is used. On
extremely cold nights an extra blanket
is added.
Their physician says both women
have lost nearly all trace of tuberculosis
and that three months more of
heroic treatment will cure them. The
complexion of both has become a ruddy
brown from exposure, and iudoon
they complain of the heat if the ter
