wasn't me at all: it was Bo'be: he did
it all for a trick. and I knew nothing
about it till le brouhr tie paper and
letter in just now. and I camne to ask I
you to gc away at 1.'
-Well. it's .Just a coincdience: there's 1
no harm in having a "litle chat for the i
sake of old times." he returned eagerly. 1
"If you are the sort of man that- i
that answers matrimonial advertise
meniS, it's a pity to waste your time," I
she replied rather spitefully. "Noi
doubt another girl is waiting for you<
elsewhere."
"'It cau tght my eye and it amused
me," he explainied quickly, "'and just t
for curiosity I answered it. When a
reply camne signed Janet Bruce, I won-c
dered if it could possibly be you, and Ir

Let's take it as it was meant-merely
as a joke. I thought you were mar

"No. I am not." she replied a little
gr'imiy. "It wou'd he one of my sis

"I never forgot you." he returned, by
no means truthfully, for he had quitei
forgotten his old love, in new ones,
till hien name recalled her to his re
membrance. Then he deelded that he
had never really loved any girl but
her, and was quite sure of it when her '
eyes looked tip into his-.
Then Bobbie (lashed into them.
"Here's the mater." lie said excitedly;:
"you'd better hook it. you chap, and
Jen can look the othaer wiay." "I wishI
you would go away:" said his sister
very savagely. Bobby winked.
"Oh, spoiling sport, amt I! Weill.
here's the mater anyway."
"Mother." said Miss Bruce composed
ly, "I think you remember Mr. Tomlyn:
I met him unexpctedly a minute ago."
"Very unexpectedly!" murmured
Bobbie. "My, you're a cool 'un, JTen2"'
"Hlow do you do?" said Jenny's
mother very graciously. "What a pleas
antt surprise! You will come and have 1
some tea?"
"I shall be charmed," said Mr. Tomn
lyn.
"I hope you mean business a}ll
r'ighit?" said JTenny's brother to Mr.
Tromlyin in the hail, as the young man
at last departed. Jenny flushed a finei
s(carle't, and Mr. TLomlyn grew suddenly
d ea.
"Good-by. Miss Bruce, so pleased to
have come across you again," lie mur
murecd, and ran down the steps.
lhobbie followed hium. "Say, that ad.

Mr'. Tomlyn hlanded over half-a
crown. "I haven't change," he ex-1
plained; "keep it."
"But is it worth it?" Eobbie thought
it polite to say, while grabbing hastily
at the coin before Mr. Tomlyn could
think better of it and tind a shilling
al'er ali.
"1 think." said Mr. Tomlyn siowly.]
"that 1t may--possibly-be worth it.
Do you ever take your sister out for a
walk or anuything'?' he inquired, when
the boy turned to go.
"No f'ear!" was the vigorous reply.
"I think I would if I were you. It
aight be worth it. I should suggest
y tour' escorting' her to the pakto-mor'

irng by the Marble Arch I will reliet'c
youi of your duties. If you have to go.
away suddenly you need niot mind us."
"I twig:" winked the boy. "I've seen
spooner's before!"
"It'.s nohing of that sort," said Mr.
Tomluyn haughtily.
"It never is." said Bobbie. "but you
r.eedn't look foolish: it's the sort of
thing one expets from a matrimonial
advertisement.
Het beguiled his sister out next day:
it was seldom he honored her with his
c'ompany. anrd though she could not

Jenny glanced sharply at Ulame,
whose face betrayed him. but she made
no remark. She permitted the change
of esecort without a word. There was
something decidedly attractive about
Robert Tomlyn.

And so it was settled, and no one was

When Erasmus was in England-antd
that was nmearly four centuries aigo
he noticed the pleasanit custom .ef the
English girls. who kissedl you when
you came, kissed you when you went.

Possibly the formal kiss. which ha~s
nearly died out in Engand. received
its death-blow when Queen Annle mett
the lady mayoress on the important 9tih t:
of Novemer. Until thenm thim king had
always kissed tihe indy mai~yorews-as
the chairman of the Lonidon County ii
Council kissed the mairket queen. But
when good Queen Anne reachecd the
city-well. wvhere would the fun come
in? She didnt kiss the lady mayoress.
And an ancient custom seemued to have
lapsed. m
But wit' tae accession of George L. e
hopes revived. There would be kiss
ing again. And Lady Humiphreys, the a
wife of the newv lord mayor. concluded. t<
"from his known character for gal
lntry" that the king would pay the s
traditional ti-ibute to beauty. The king (
took refuge behind the skirts of Queen
Anne.' He did not give the kiss. And
te lady mnayoress' conduct at the
light was such that the rumor went s
round. "She was borrowed for the s
ocasion!" The king discredited the 'T
report. "H-e would hatve beorrowed. a
