an evening gown of soft, dull black,
which brought out the srowy white

thick dark tresses a great tiara glow

the riviere of splendid gems nliout her

To Richard. In his present state of
mind. Harriet seemed the most ra
diantly perfect creature yet produced
since the world I>egnn As she bowed
behind the footlights for the second
time to an enthusiastic encore a large
bouquet of American Beauties was
tossed upon the stage, ami Miss Har
riet blushed as she stooped for tills
most ap|K)site tribute to her own
charms When safely behind the cur
tains she glanced at a card attached,
which Imre two words. 'An Ameri
can." This signature was vague, yet
somehow Mtss Renwyck picked the
donor out from myriads of gentlemen
who might better have claimed the
title, and again she blushed as she
buried her face among tiie fragrant
buds.
“How splendid of him!" she wills
pored to her roses. “If only be had
been my cowboy perhaps—perhaps"—
Blit the rest was a secret which the
roses never told
One by one the guests departed, but
not til1 the last of them was driven
I away on the gravel road did Richard
find an opportunity for a word alone
with his ladylove. He was seated in
a darkened nook on the front veranda,
sheltered from the light by thick wis
taria vin“s He bad lighted a cigar
and was dreaming, as lie smoked, of
how beautiful she w as. w hen suddenly
he caught tlie swishing sound of skirts,
and she took » wicker rocker by his
side.
“I.ord Cmyland." she murmured
softly. "I knew it was you by the smell
of your cigar.”
Richard was-not a connoisseur as re
gards tobacco, and he wondered i lly
if tile real laird Croyland’s favorite
brand was up to the standard of this
doubtful compliment. Miss Harriet
continued:
“I’m glad I found you alone, for 1
want to thank you for these.” She
held her sheaf of roses toward him.
"It was dear of you to send them, and
It pleased me more than I can say."
"Nonsense," he laughed. "No flower
that ever grew Is worthy of you. That
sounds foolish, I suppose, for many
people must have said the same be
fore, but I mean it simply, honestly."
"Thank you," she said softly, and
both for a time were silent.
"Miss Harriet.” he ventured present
ly. “you are Iteautiful tonight.” lie
checked her pleased laugh and contin
ued earnestly, "I don't mean that you
are not beautiful always, but I have
never seen you in black before, nnd"
"Ho« absurd!" she smiled "I shall
soon begin to think you like all the
rest, a flatterer—just a flatterer"—
"No, no." he protested warmly; "it Is
more than that, believe me. I want to
carry away with me forever the mem
orv of you as you looked tonight. 1
must leave soon I'm going home
"Back to England:' t>lie asked, a
tremor in her voice.
“No. to Texas."
“What?"
Richard caught himself Just In time.
“Well- er— well, you see." be stain
titered, “you have turned me into such
a good American that I think of your
country now as lieiug quite u.y own
I lived down there for nearly a year,
you know, and now—uud now business
calls me back again."
Once more they were silent for a
little space.
“And are you not coming north
again?” she asked him nervously.
“It de|>ends." said Richard the
Brazen, smiling Into the wistaria vine
“Listen. Miss Harriet 1 waut to ask
you something. No, it isn't a question
It is only a flower. I would like to
take just one of those roses to a cow
boy down in Texas. I will And him
if I can, and I know it will make him
happier than anything else in all the
world. May I have the rose?"
His tone was sad and low. but Har
riet's tone was lower still when she
answered haltingly;
"No; you need not take It to my hero
of the plain*. No doubt he has forgot

With a trembling hand she laid a
rose up n his lap but Rickard forgot

known, boweier. that one Woolsey

haps his nightly prayers might not

Pharisaic complacency.
Therefore for an hour In the Iten
wyek home reigned heavy silence,
which was broken’only by the ticking
of the great antique clock in the hall
or Its soft melodious chime as it struck
the quarter hours. Outside a night

Slowly the two gentle conspirators
tipped down the gloomy stairs, start
ins at a cracking step lieneath their
feet, fearful of dangers unknown, but
menacing, that seemed to lurk at every
turn. In safety they reached the lower

the heavy portieres which masked the
entrance to tin? library.

"Don't tremble so, Harriet, darling

“S-s-8-h!” her friend admonished.
"Don't speak above a whls|ier now.

Miss Reuwyek. having once keyed
her nerves to the point of meeting a
stranger In the dark, was not a woman
to falter in the crucial moment. A
sense of calm was settling upon her.
and. though her heart beat faster than
was Its wont, she was now In posses
slon of her every faculty and could
face the danger without a tremor of
her voice or hand
“Y'ou keep the purse,” she whispered
to Iwogeue. ‘'Stand where you are
and don't speak a single word. Really,
dear, there Isn't much danger, after
all. Yet remember,'' she smiled, "you
have promised to la' a little lion, and
the man Is only ‘Roddy•poddykius.’ ”
She wondered afterward at this (lash
of humor, yet It chanced to lie the
saving grace, for the territie.l Miss

king of beasts and to keep her teeth

There was alienee for a moment.
“Do you give me your word on

"I do."
“On your honor as a lady?"
"On my honor.”
The light flashed out. and the head
