‘DIGGING A PIT.
It would be difficult to and a more
charming retreat from heat, noise and
fashion—those three essentials to a pop-
ular summer resort—than Ashlandv
Among-the~Eills , Its climate well
merits the encomium of ”salubrious,”
which the hotel prospectus originally
conferred upon it. And yet when young
Mrs. Dupont told Mason Welles of her
impending departure thither she de~
nounced the place as "poky" and its
indwellers as "frights." "Men moo
selfish, ” Alice continued in half serious
complaint, “just because Paul delights
to burn the bridge of hisnose latoa
peel on that ridiculous lake trying to
catch fish, not there, in the first place,
and toowise to bite, in the second, I
must endure the chatter of mothers
about their babies and the gasps of in-
valids over the ozone. It’s too provok-
ing! There are heirs and airs. but their
incessant discussion is not my ideal of
enjoyment.” . . .
“Supposing a friend should attempt
the diversion of a new subject by ven-
turing into this wilderness, ” suggested
the gallant Mason.
“Then a friend would bewolcomed
as a friend indeet , " replied Alice, with
a smile more coquettish than the mean-
ing of her impulsive little heart.
For young Mrs. Dupont was not no-
customed to weigh her words—on the
principle, likely, that such scantweight
would be an abomination. It was so
much easier to utter them just as they
flashed over her mind. What becomes
of a bubble when it bursts? Thank good-
ness, sounds had not a writing's power
of manifolding and repetition. In cer-
tain silent wakeful hours, however.
when she couldn’t keep from medita-
tion, Alice would be ashamed of some
such idle speech and relieved that its
echoes had surely died away. She did
not realize that the memory of a vain
man is a phonograph over in readiness
and over rotcnlivo.
Alice truly felt that she had a griev~
anco against her husband, not that Paul
wasn‘t faithful and kind and generous
and all tho rest of the orthodox virtues.
Sometimes sho lmtcd his nminhlo quali‘
tics, not only for being virtuous, but
also for their orthodoxy. But more was
too much assumption about his regard.

Then he had been zealous, ardcnt, in

as examples to Alice? Yes. he could no:
doubt his eyes. however much helmixht
his ears. although she seemed changed.
Her glasses were off, and there was a
tender expression on her face, as if her
back hair were becoming undone. She
was leaning toward'hiln. $00. as if in
need of that “holding up" process. Do-
cidedly‘ a shift of subject was um
ear-y, so that he might gain an interval
to think.
“It’s about time for that dinner bell
to ring.” blurted thewretched man.
“Don't mention time. dearest,"
breathed Bophronia, “when We have an
eternity of bliss before us. ”
Paul sprang tchis feet aghast and
gasping. "Really, Miss Sophronia, real-
ly Miss Mantel], this won’t do at all.
You must excuse me if I leave you at
once. There is some dreadful misappre.
heusion. What if any one should over-
hear? Think_”-—
"Yes, " agreed Sophrcnia, staying his
arm, “you are right. We must dissem-
ble. But let mega, not you. Here comes
Abigail. Your greeting will allay her
suspicions. Farewell until a kinder
hour. Be our watchword secrecy and
trust. ” And with a smile which Juliet
would have doomed unseemly she trip-
ped away. .
“Poor thing, ” he soliloquized, ~‘ ‘poor
child! 80 young, so fair! She has gone
crazy, and evidently I alone am aware
of it. Now, what is my duty? Hodges,
the proprietor, who has the girls in spe-
cial care, is away for a week. But here
comes Abigail. How componed. how
sensible her hearing! I must break the
and intelligence to her. Luckily her
strong mind will temper grief with
good judgment. ”
And yet, even as Paul resolved, there
was a certain unwanted sprightliuess
becoming apparent in Miss Abigail's
approach which caused vague apprehen-
sion.
“My dear young lady," he began,
and his nervousness lent ardor to his
words, “I am inexpressibly thankful to
see you. There is asubject, delicate,
closely intimate, on which I must

”Thorn, darling. don't be impatient.
I know it's hard, but pcrfcot trust is
such courage. Rcmcmlwr our motto in
tho dear old days, ‘Scmpcr Fidulis.'

And. coyly touching hcr forciingcr to

shortly and an ice after a little. One
might just as well let statedvmeals for
a canary. When, therefore, after a de-
liberate combination, he found her in
an easy chair at the angleof the plans,
with a novel open on her lap and her
toilet eflectively arranged, Paul remem-
bered that there had been her favorite
seat the summer before and felt con-
vinced that she was havingagood time.
So he turned his attention tothe subject
of fishing. There was a boat to be en-
gaged, and choice pools to be discussed, ,
and tackle to be arranged. Thencefor-
ward. with the calm conscience of a
model husbmd. he devoted himself to
his sport. Perhaps an alignment of the
net proceeds would have been an ado
about nothing. for be generally forgot to
halt the hook. But what would you
have?
The warmth of the sun seemed to re
new his tired brain; the breeze inspired
strength. In the quiet or sparkle of the
waters he saw the continuance of pros.
perity or the Iadve t of success. Had
any one asked himlrow Alice had spent
her time he would have regarded the
questioner like one inquiring as to the
first letter of the alphabet. “Why, as
all women do, I presume," he would
have answered, rather qncrnlonsly.
“She reads and embroiders and drives
and plays tennis, and there are hops
and music. you know. Mercy, she’s so
busy I see but little of her." And
Alice, sitting disoonsolately on the pi-
azza, appreciated how brief was their
actual association and how tedious were
the remaining hours. and one day, rec-
ognizing a tall form approaching her
from the road, with the strides of un-
fclgncd joy, she vowed that Paul, too,
should wonder and wait and grow lone-
ly.
The following afternoon, when Paul
was returning from the lake, he crossed
through the woods to the main road.
As he was standing on the bank, half
hidden by tho underbrush from the
bend below, there came a rumble, the.
tattoo of boots and a merry song intcr-
spersed with bursts of jocund laughter.
A icmr-in-hnnd coach swung along, all
alight with dainty mints. Such an ar-

counter. Perhaps, too, that object which
had provoked his approach to Sophronia
might also beaohievcd. For thenext
few days fishing was neglected. and
Paul combined the outdoor‘study of hot-
any and geology.
80 marked a change in her husband’s
evocation did not escape Alice’s sharp,
bright eyes. When she commented on
his "taste for curios. "as she termed it,
Paul’s abstracted "Eh? Ahi I presume
so" seemed more a disguise than a
slight. In a word, she grew suspicious,
jealous. unhappy. lamenting as lost
what she had not cured tohold and
burning toprove beyond a cavil that
which she would give worlds to disbe-
liove. That right jolly party became a
compound of inanity and Mason Welles
easily its quintessence. However. when
this beamful young man. in his pursuit
of the vicarious mote, suggested a jaunt
to the summit, artfully mentioning that
tho Mantell girls were going and add-
ing, “and of course Mr. Dupont," Alice
agreed with an eagerness which he mis-
interpreted, f r her “delighted" should
have been aken as “heartbroken.”
Nor was this the only error that Mason
made. Ho ofieudsd the twins’ sense of
decorum, snporsensitivo in its entirety,
by a jocular reference to their intimacy
with Paul.
“I detest that Mr. Welles, ” said So-
phronia frigidly.
“He is abhorrent to all ideas of de-
cency, " agreed Abigail.
Ill fated Mason, not to have applied
discrimination to his own case! If
such was their united judgment, what
might not be their individual impulse?
But no man whilo digging npit ever
whistled- more merrily than he. "thn‘
we get there, ” he meditated, “I’ll man-
age to separate the girls, and it will be
hard if I can‘t arrange to have Dupont
come across one of them while pretty
Alice is looking on. And then"
So settled was Mason in the certainty
of laughing last that be regarded with
composure the way in which the party
took seats in the great mountain wagon,
though it was hardly in accord with his
desire, for Paul and Alice Were side by
side. like Darby and Joan, with the
Mantcll sisters as prim and demure
neighbors. “The rctnrn will be slightly
different. " ho mused, with a triumphant
smile, “and it will be dark then too."
(‘ompnncfion for two unintended
wrongs had drawn Paul to Alice. Dc-
latcd apprcciation and poitnmnt rcgrcr

But Mason did not wait. Far down
the roadway he saw tho Mantel] twins
soberly plodrhnn to the hotel, and he
realised that in their union lay his
strength. He followed, but at a dire
