Margery's eyes danced wickedly; she
snuffed battle afar. 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

heiress to prove you truly forgive me,
and you shall marry Melville Warwick
