Miss Catlierwood, waddling inajowtioally from booth to l>ooth at St. Harnnba's fair, had stopped short at sight of her, setting her nose at least nn inch higher and sniffing audibly. Since they were fellow church workers it would not do to say Miss Cathcrwood bated Margery, but even since young Warwick had fallen under Margery's spell the elder lady had shown herself spiteful beyond words. All Eppington laughed at her, of course covertly. She was in a way its great lady, owning the biggest house, the handsomest grounds and nearly the biggest bank account in the village. \oung Warwick's uncle, the major, hart n thought more ready money, but since he lived modestly, never subscribed to anything in public and gave away by stealth more than half his income he was no such personage as Mis.s Catherwood, whose joy in life was to write her name in front of a good rouud sum at the head and forefront of every important list. Margery said audaciously that it was Miss Cathorwood's habit to let both hands know all that even her little finger did. Possibly it was that speech, with the necessary accretions from mouth to mouth, which fli*st made Eppiugton's I<ady Ilountlful so high aud haughty toward its prettiest girl. Margery Lane was easily that und much more. There was a sweet soul at the bottom of her velvet eyes, wit and spirit a-plenty under her mop of floss silk curls. All the finest young fellows of the village were her chums and sworn champions, even to the two or three who had tried to be something more. Margery's compelling gayety shed sentiment as a duck's wing sheds water. Thus she had laughed her would be swains out of sighing Into a consciousness of what she persisted in calling their mistakes. When she had fully persuaded them to take her own sane view she sent them "rejoicing 011 the way to court aud marry other girls. Thus In her own way she was easily as much a power as Miss Catherwood. Otherwise she would not have been what she was at the fair. Miss Catherwood was the fair's moving spirit. If she had dared she would have ignored Margery. Since she did not dare, she wisely resolved to make the utmost possible out of her enemy. Consequently Margery had the stall which dispensed impartially candy, cut flow ers and literature. The girl's churns had behaved nobly in the matter of j .buying, to say nothing of her lovers, i actual, possiblo and impossible. Major Warwick put himself at the head of the impossible, vowing things were at a pretty pass, Indeed, when the girl he had brought up specially for himself was whisked away from him all in a wink by his scapegrace of n nephew. Melville Warwick, the nephew, had been Miss Catlicrwood's protege since he was in short frocks?this in spite of his own smoldering rebellion. His mother, a gentle half invalid, was devoted to Pamela Catherwood, and Melville never willfully crossed his mother in anything. lie had worn Catherwood leading strings with what grace he might up to the day he was sent away to college. When he came back from it to find tomboy Margery a creature of infinite and tricksy charm, withal the one woman in the world for him, he let it be seen he meant henceforth to have his own way. Within a fortnight he had courted Margery openly, getting a nay-say, of course, but equally, of course, whistling it down the wind. "I'll give you time to find out your own mind," he had said. "It may tukc two years, but what is that beside living a whole life without you?" Now he leaned upon the flower counter so ostentatiously rapt in the choice of a rose that Miss Catherwood had to speak twice before he answered. "What is it, Aunt Pom? You want a m rose? Let me l>eg you choose instead some of those choice chrysanthemums. - You see, everybody wants roses, and all the flowers ought to go. The chrys! anthemums swamp any womau less majestic than yourself. A dozen of the biggest and hairiest, please, Miss Lane. Cliauge? Outrageous! Whoever heard of change at a fair?" ^ "I don't want flowers. Keep your ? money, or, If you needs must spend it, come to some of the sensible tables," Miss Catherwood said with what she meant for a withering glance at Margery, who smiled amiably. "Do take him away, dear Miss Catherwood!" she murmured. "I have done my best to get rid of him this last hour If he stays longer nil the rent will hate me. You nre an angel to deliver mt from Bueh n dreadful fate." "You moan I am an angel. Angels arc all masculine. I leave It to the higher authorities If that Is not true," Melville said, standing stock still, his folded arms propped upon the flower table Margery looked at him reproachfully "You nre blocking the way of trade,' she said. "I have somewhat of con science, howsoever you may be lacking In it. These flowers have got to b< turned Into flannels and soup and shocf for poor folks. Are you willing to paj In advance for nil I don't sell?" "Willing enough?more than willing!' # Melville retorted. "Only show me how I've l>een here three hours. Well, aftei , this I can give pointers to the pool man who fell among thieves"? "Melvlllat For shame l What shock I lug Irreverence! Still I am not altogether astonished," Miss Catherwood Interrupted, raising her eyes to the ceiling. "Now, if you please, we will he going. Miss Lane, sell iny chrysanthemums over again?and don't forgpt to add what they fetch to the amount of my original donation." "Unless you buy them yours erf, nobody will," Margery said, with n smile of infantine malice. "Tlu'm r.r" so big an-.l dull and brlcky red everybody lias sniffed at them. Indeed, Mr. Sntmlrc told me when he fetched them In, 'Pamela Catherwood Is your one chance for these.'" "Indeed!" Miss Catherwood was so near apoplexy she could not get beyond the word. "I'll give you a dollar apiece for them," she said, "and you can send them straight to the Home of the Homeless." Then, with a hissing shriek: 'Girl, where Is my purse? I bad It a moment back?and laid It right there under your band!" "Yes, I saw It," Margery said, hurriedly turning about masses of blossomy green. Miss Cntl.w.'wood watched licr suspiciously, crying Jerkily all the whole: "My purse! Gold mounted, the clasp sot with diamonds, and a hundred dollars! What have you done with It?" "Hush!" young Warwick said Imperatively, making to lend her away. People were gathering, staring, listening, craning necks, to see all about. Margery let fall her hands, saying quietly, "It Is not here." The words took a way Miss Catherwood's last vestige of composure. With a plunging lurch she overset the flower table, clutched Margery by both shoul ders aud shook her hnrd, hissing out: "You! You little bold faced thief!" Stunned silence for n breath; then babel broke loose. Suddenly some one cried, "Miss Cntherwood, there's your purse tangled up In the lace and Jet on your hanging sleeve!" Miss Cntherwood raised a massy arm. There, true enough, the bauble gleamed. With one gasping look at Mnr-gory's set, white face, she fell all In a moaning heap at the feet of the girl she had accused, In her fall jarring down a big lantern and overturning It amid the rubbishy decorations. Instantly there was a threatening flare. The flames ran leaping veugefull.v toward the groveling woman. If she breathed them once she was lost. Margery stood over her, her slight figure outlined against a heavy rich hued nig. Before another hund could be raised her nnns went up, she tore the nig loose and, holding it banner-wise around and above her, dropped and smothered with It the flare at her feet. An hour later Dr. Archer was saying as he patted Margery's burned fingers: "Little girl, It was n heap more than a life for a life. You thought only of your enemy, but you saved your friends as well. If the fire had gnlned headway every home In Eppingtou might bo In mourning.' "I'm not trying to pay you, Margery ?money cannot do that," Miss Catlier ?? v/v\? uuj^j/icuicuicn i i uIII lilt? uvpms ut lier enay chair. "But yon shall be my heiress to prove you truly forgive me, and you shall marry Melville Warwick to show riches make no difference In a true woman's love." ? Reduced Rates to Spartanburg, S. C.
