A, DINNER DIALOGUE.
When I entered the drawing— loom
Mrs. Tregunter smiled on me quite
amiably. I
“I want you to take down Molly,”
she said, graciously.
I crossed to Molly at once, but she
would not look at me, I ventured to
remind her of my presence.
“Oh, it’s you, is it?” she remarked
pensively.
“Yes, you’ve got to go down to din-
ne1 with me.’
She heaved a sigh.
“Is that quite polite?" 'I asked re-
proachfully.
She flashed a glance at me.
“Life is a continual pairing,” she
observed, standing up and shaking her
draperies into becoming folds; “and
so seldom .with the right man.”
“That is the comedy of life,” I re-
marked.
“And what is the tragedy?"
“Having no partner at all.”
I indicated Miss Allemand, 'the gov-
erness, who was following alone.
“Poor dear!” said Mollie. “I will
relinquish you to her.”
But I declined firmly.
“I am afraid of governesses,” I
said explanitorily. “It was a govern—
ess who wrecked my young life.”
“\Vhat did she do?” asked Molly,
seriously.
“She declined to elope with me.’
Molly withdrew her arm.
“I fear you are a dreadful person.”
“I was only fourteen," I put .in, has-
tily.
We had taken our places at the
the table. I like a white shoulder, but
white shoulder for two courses is too
much.
“Is it quite fair to devote yourself
solely to Thomas!” I ventured to
ask. ,
“He says such clever things.”
_ She flung the words beamingly over
her sleeve.
“You mean to insinuate—” I be-
gan crossly.
“Nothing at all.”
“I don’t. think Miss Allemand has
brought you up at, all nicely.”
“What do you mean?” she said,
turning to me suddenly with a very
severe face. ’
“Oh, nothing at all.”
“You are very stupid.”
“That isn’t the way to speak to your
ma’s guests.” .
She scrutinized me.
“I den’t see what that girl could see
in you,” she murmured.
“What girl?” I queried eagerly.
She shook her head.
1 “I oughtn’t to have said that.”
“But you did say it! And I insist
on healing to whom you referred. ”
She pouted.
“Will you promise not to tell?” She
replied, after a little pause, her face
suddenly lighting up with a roguish
smile.
“I promise.”
I watched the dimple growing on
her cheek. She gave a little burst of
laughter.
“Mary Vandyke was here his after-
noon.’
“0h!!!
. “She is my dearest friend.” -
“How nice for her.”
“We have no secrets frdm one an
other,” said Molly, becoming very
l
serious.
“Haven’t you?" -
5 My mind rushed helter-skelter
through the past. Molly kept her
bright eyes on mine, and I saw the
dimple come and go. ’
“She tells me everything.
Her smile deepened.
“Really?” I said, fidgeting.
“About the regatta, for instance.”
I looked at her for a moment. She
nodded gravely.
“It isn’t true—upon my honor it
isn’t.”
I felt I was reddening.
“And what you said!”
"I assure you I didn’t.”
“And what you—did."
“I deny it.” ,
“It’s all right," said Molly, consol-
ingly". “She’s very fond of you.”
I gasped.
“I_ don’t care two pins about her."
“How can you say so?” asked Molly,
reproachfulIy—“after all that has oc~
curred between you.’
“Nothing has occur,red ” I cried, des-
spairingly.
.,“And the letters you have written.’
‘ I never wrote any letters.
“I have read them.”
‘She had no right to show you those
letters.”
“Oh, but—Lassure you it was
strict confidence.”
“1 don’t remember in lhe least what

“1 do, ” she struck in quickly. ‘.'Y01‘

She laughed“ again. , It was strange
that a weak woman should rejoice in
a. strong man’s agony. '
“Of course 1 don’t. care for her,” I
said boldly, trying to make a stand.
Molly pursed her lips.
“Of course I don’t believe that ”
“But you must believe it,” I cried
despcra .ely. “I only flirted a. little
With her because—” ..
“Because?” « ,. , ,
“Well, you weren’t , there, you
know.” ‘ ' . ‘ “
“Oh, indeed!” She looked at me
severely. You mean you would have
flirted with me instead if I had been
there?”
“Not flirted, ” I said, weakly.-
“What do you mean?”
“If you had been there, I wouldn't
have looked at- her.”
“Oh, indeed,” repeated Molly.
“It was only in (run. She knew it
was only in fun.” ‘
The dimple began to dawn again.
“Oh, no, she doesn’t,” she respond- ,
in .
ed, gaily. “She thinks you are
earnest.”
“Nonsense,” I cried.
“She told me so. She told me you
had practically proposed.”
“You are teasing me,“ I said crossly.
“Am I indeed? Wait and see.”
“It can’t be true. Say it isn’t true?"
She gave another little burst of
laughter.
“Of course you don’t mind,” I said,
bitterly; “though it was all your
fault. ”
“My fault!” cried Molly. “Well, of
all the——” .
“Why weren’t you at the regatta,
then?” I ask-.ed “You see what you
have done.”
“I takeno responsibility,” said Mol—
lie hotly. “Good gracious; if I had to
be responsible for you!”
“I wish you would,” I said, earnest—
1y.
“It’s no use talking,” said
“You must face the music.”
“Why didn’t you tell hei I was en
gaged?”
Molly.
“What, another of them!” cried.
Molly, looking serious. '
“You know what I mean. From the
way you speak, one might imagine I
was a flirt.”
“Um—yes,” murmured Molly.
The truth is there wasn’t a decent
looking girl there except—”
“Exceptl Mary,” echoed Molly sar—
castically. '
“Well, she isn’t bad looking in the
_ moonlight.”
Molly turned her. head away a trifle
dis .dainvfully.
“You must save me from her,”
said after a pause.
“How can I do that?” _
“You must tell- her I am allcady e11-
gaged. ”
“To whom?” asked Molly, hel Color
rising slightly;
“To—-—the only girl I love."
Molly’s eyes were fixed on her plate.
“Her name?” she asked in a low
voice.
“Surely you can guess,”
pered. ‘
Her color deepened.
“Please don’t be absurd.”
“It' is the only way."
“Nonsense!”
“But I tell you it is.
her.”
“Perhaps she wouldn’t have you,’
she said with a. mischievous look in
her eyes. ‘
“But. you said—m”
“I was only teasing you.”
“Really?” I cried with a. sudden
sense of relief.
Molly toyed with a grape.
“She came to me to say that some.
body else had proposed to her and to
ask my advice.”
“Well. ”
“I advised her to—-—"
“Yes?”
“Accept the other man.”
“Molly, you dear girl!"
“So it won’t be necessary for you to
get engaged to any one else,” she went
on, locking down;
“Molly, you know I love .you.”
“Hush!” she whispered.
“Won’t you Molly—0h, Molly, you
must.”
She turned and smiled.
“What a silly boy it is!”
“I consider we are engaged.”
By great luck I caught one of her
hands beneath the tablecloth. .
“There’s the signal. I must go,”
said Molly, hastily.
“Say just one word,” I urged.
“Do you know the little conserva-
tory?” she murmured, pushing back

he made from his steel rails he pur-

Company, and shortly after consoli-

later he bought the Brooklyn Street
Railway of Cleveland, Ohio, and, fol-
lowing the plan adopted by him in In-

‘ter, which has made a network of that
.section of the Keystone State. He and
his brother "Al" purchased the con-
trolling interest in the Nassau Electric
fare to Coney Island, and now own in-
troit, Chicago and Boston.
Mr. Johnson is also one of the larg-"
est steel-rail manufacturers in the
country. In 1884 he established the
Johnson Steel Company of Johnstown,
and thereafter erected a similar plant
near Cleveland.

thoroughly practical. While'two army

became entangled and a. war of words
arose. “It; is only an accident,” said
,one, coolly, “and at best it is only a

excitedly, and with these words he

the same advantage, hurried away on

him already at the point of death.
