Heaven. however. did, not grant it.
The alert proved aueusslu Bob’s
white lace and mlhersble expression
betrayed thatl before Armleigh'a
engagement to A ice was announced.
Bob’s little dream of happiness was
over. Aline had dissipated it iinally
and louver.» unturn- not merely the
lone oi liar-lover. though this was
a
‘chief..hut5slao her sieter’s conduct in
the elatimwhich cut Bob to the heart.
Until thin unhappy silalr Bob had os~
pet-lanced nothing but the tonderest
kindnm. the roost caresai care from
Alice. And then-«on a a dew—to be
treated so by her; it was all incompre-
heluihlew it warren-tum and cruel-
‘ Only once had Bob ventured on a
timid rcmonstrance. Alice had an-
swered her thus. hardly. and almost
with acorn:
"Why were on not happy and com
tented with gel-aid? Gerald is far
more suited to you than Ronald Arm-
leigb. You would never have made
Ronald happy. . .
Bob‘hsd burst into tears at this no»
leeling retort. and. without apology or
any attempt at solacel Alice had left
the room. No other word on the aub—
lect passed between them.
The Gerald of whom Aline had
spoken was all old admirer oi chlldiah
Bob's. and. until Armleigh'e appear-
ance. had been that young lady s first
favorite. He lacked all Armlolgh a
brilliance oi manner and distinction at
best-lug. As a lore-maker. he was his
hopeles‘r interior. lllsoy people called
him stupid. That be was not. it
rather slow
temperament. he had plenty oi good.
sound tonne, and witbal ptmaeaud a
kind. true heart and loyal disposition.
which far outweighed hia external
qualification. livery one could see
that he was devoted to Bob. Bob had
liked. had even been very loud or him.
She might. perhaps. have thought that
nhe loved him had not Ronald Arm-
lcigh taught her what love really was.
But now her eyes were opened. She
knew lore now. she know. alsorhow

would never throb in her quickenod

Bob did not feel bitter against her
sister. She acarceiy felt indignant:
she was simply crushed and broken.
All who new bar bollowleyee. her and
(are. her dispirlted bearing. were
struck with pity ibr the poor child.
Alice alone remained obtlurate. and.
so far as could be seen. uniceling. it
won unlike what Alice had ever been
before until this miserable slinir. But

This In what Alice did.
"0h. poor Bob will soon act over it.
It won a very trillion alialr. Her heart
would quickly mend. Her happiness
wrecked? Pooh! Happinesa was not
no easily wrecked as that. Maiden. it
was partly Bob's fancy that was ro-
sponsibie. Ronald had never really
been in love with her." etc.. etc.‘
it is unlikely that Alice deceived har-
ttell with those eacnsetl. even when
she uttered them. It. is certain that
her friends to whom ahe addressed
them were not deceived thereby. and
her attempt thus to osonersio hornet!
did not give them any lwtter opinion
of her. Many of them told her frankly

Never buy colored glans simply be-
cause it is cheap. You introduce into

to save one's sell and to spare one's
iriends. ,
it cheap things are to more an
ephemeral purpose. as a ribbon for an
afternoon. for instance. or for a fancy
dress. and one cannot attord to buy the
