THE DAILY EXAMINER, CHARLOTTETOWN,

A LOVER AT LAREE.

BY SESSIE CHANDLER.

‘But Kittie, you are perfectly unrea- sonable,’’

‘*Not at all, I know what I saw with my own eyes.”’

‘Well, what did you see, then®’’

‘You sat by her all through a waltz, you talked te her and—and—looked at her, and then you got up and danced with her, a horrid lancers, too, that no- body thinks of dancing nowadays! And then you went out and put her im her carriage, and tucked her im. Isaw itall.’’

**But Kittie—"’

“You needn't say ‘Kittie’? to me! The

idea of that little widow's being attrac- tive! She's old enough to be your

mother.’’

‘‘No, she’s not. We were born the same year, and I’m six months the oldest.’’

“Oh, you found that out, did you? Well, I wouldn’t believe her. She’s a sly, deceitful thing! She's had one lover—at least I suppose her husband loved her. I don’t see why, though! I should think she’d be contented now to stay at home of trying to rob other women !’’

He looked at her helplessly—the big, handsome, simple-minded fellow. He was no match for Kittie. She buzzed" all

around him, like a tormenting insect, too |

small to catch, too aggravating to be ignored.

** Kittie, you shall hear me,”’ he ex- claimed. **What were you doing when I

sat beside Mrs. Millicent? Waltzing with Capt. Graham, Now I can’t waltz till that confounded knee gets right again, and do you think it’s such a pleasure to watch you circling round me—with other men? Mrs. Millicent talked with me, which is more than half the girls do,

with a man who doesnt dance. Then came the lancers. Ican get through those. I leoked for you—but as usual, you were off with somebody el-e, so I danced with Mrs. Millicent. ‘Surely it’s no crime for me to dance one square dance with another woman, when you

dance a degen rountl dances with other men.’”’

Miss Kittie Nicholson was unappeased.

‘*It isn’s so much that you did it,’’ she said haughtily, “‘as that you enjoyed it so!’’

He locked at her in amazement.

*‘Would you prefer to see me weep, as I dance? J’ll remember that next time, and drop a few tears as I go.’’

‘Oh, it isn’t that. I can’t make you understand. J’m not jealous, not at all. Still, everyone says you are a great flirt, and it seems so queer that you should be loving me, as you say you do, and yet so perfectly contented with another woman, at the same time.’’

“But I doen't see anything of you, Kittie. You won’t let our engagement be announced. I have to stand with the rest of the mob and take my chances. I can hardly ever see you alone. I’m perfectly happy when I’m with you—you know I am—but you won't let me be with you. You turn me off, and laugh at me, and starve me. Then I pick up what crumbs 1 can from other people’s tables. I pre- sume now, you're going out to-night.”’

Miss Nicholson colored and looked con- fused—‘‘ Well, yesto tell you the truth I am. But not right away. Maud has a little supper to-night.’’

He looked at her savagely. “‘That’s al- ways the way! I shall go and see Mrs. Millicent.’’

‘I? you do, Gerald Hayes, Ill never speait te you again! The idea! Why Ger- ald, I believe you really like her.’’

Wer tone had changed entirely, and a strain of real anxiety showed itself above the assumed petulancy with which she had been teasing her lover.

“T do like her—what do—you want me todo. Mrs. Miller hasn’t invited me. It’s too early to go to bed yet. Shall I go up and sit on the steps until you come out? I’m rather big to play lamb to your Mary, but I will if you wish it.’

‘*Dear Gerald,’’ said the girl, slipping her hand in his, ‘‘just wait a little long- er. You’ve been so good and patient, I will tell everybody in a few days. It frightens me a little—that’s all. But you know I love you, Gerald.”’

The last words were very low, but he heard them, and his arm was around her in a second, and he felt that he was be- ing more than paid fer all that he had suffered.

He left her half an hour later, witha much lighter heart. She was an unrea- sonable, spoilt beauty, he said to himself, but the dearest darling in the world.

He went up the street, whistling softly as he went.

Where should he go? It was, as he had said, too early to go to bed, and of course, he would not go to Mrs. Milli- cent’s now. In fact he no longer wanted to. He was full of the afverglow of his last moments with Kittie.

Suddenly he bethought him of a friend of his mother, a charming, middle-aged woman, who lived right on the way. He owed her a dinner party call, too, and this was just the night to make it. So he walked along until he came to her door, keeping up his low, happy whistle.

But ‘‘whv can contend with his lords?’’

Gerald Hayes, trying his best to do his duty, walked straight into the trap,

which fate had set for his unwary feet. For, as he stood in Mrs. Norwood’s hall, he heard music—a woman’s voice sing- ing. He stopped a moment listening, but the servant pulled the portiere and an- nounced him, and there was nothing for him to do but enter the drawing-room. The lights were dim, but he saw Mrs. Norwood, sitting in her accustomed corner. and went at once to speak to her. The music stopped, and the figure at the piano rose hastily. He looked across to tind that it was Mrs. Millicent.

‘*Don’t get up, Annie,’’ said Mrs. Nor- wocd, ‘‘I’'m sure Gerald will enjoy hear- ing you as much asI do. Gerald, have you ever heard Mrs. Millicent sing?’’

‘‘Never, 1 am so glad to have that pleasure. ’’

‘Well. sit right down and begin again,

i

Annie, last.’’ Gerald Hayes moved nearer the piano. Mrs. Millicent looked at him and smiled. **You are quite sure this isn’t going to be a nuisance?’’ ‘*What an idea! I shall love it, I know.”’ she began to look at her music, turn-

That was a lovely tning, wnav

ing it over and selecting it, while he looked at her. She was a small woman, less _ brilli-

antly pretty than Kittie. Her yellow hair waved away from her face, and over her head, and was gathered in a low knot. Her eyebrows were extremely level, and quite dark, much darker than her hair. it was this peculiarity which gave her face its character, for her cheeks were pale, and her mouth, although sweet, was very small. She wore a white dress, made very simply, it seemed to Gerald.

something about essentiully

and yet there was that appealed to him as manly.

Why is:it there are certain laces, cer- tain bits of jewelry. certain fabrics and colors, that we instinctively asscciate with a gentle woman? Other may be just as delicate and pretty, but they lack the subtle fragrance of long association. We are not quite sure of them.

Gerald Hayes’s eyes looked approvingly at Mrs. Millicent. Here was a restiul woman—one, who, whatever else she might de, would never torment a man.

Then she began 10 sing. She had a sweet voice, carefully trained, and she sang with great feeling. Sne sang a nuin- ber of love and Gerald’s heart thumped wildly through them Te

such sweet, low tones es that, so iwil of passionate feeling. Kittie had never cone so: she had either announced the fact

flippamtly or aliowed it to be reluctantly dragged from her.

He cared nothing at present for Mrs Millicent,but within half an hour he was deeply in love with her voice. Whenever she stopped Mrs. Norwood world cry out, “Oh, do co on! I ani enjoying it sa!”

der eyes were closed, and she had every appearance of nodding in her corner, but

she roused herself each time, witha the stopping of the inusic.

Finally, when Mrs. Millicent was nearly too tired te sing amy more, Mrs.

Norwood rang and gave some orders, and then they settled themselves in one of the cosy corners and chatted away like very old friends.

Mrs. Millicent’s maid came for her, but Mrs. Norwood said: ‘‘Send her away. Don’t make her wait. It’s too early to go yet, and here is Gerald Hayes, with nothing in the world to do, but see you heme."’

dirs. Millicent hesitated. “‘Oh, do let me,’’ Gerald hastened to say, ‘‘it will be the greatest pleasure,’? and so after some demurring, the maid. was dismissed, and the three sat down to a delicious little supper. Everything at Mrs. Norwood’s wus good, and she herself seemed to be fully awake at last, and most amusing. She rattled on, tell one naively funny story after another, and Gerald found that he and Mrs. Millicent were glancing at each other with a perfect understand- ing of their hostess. ‘That is always de- lightful sympathy, when two people think the same of a third, and know they do, without expressing it.

It was late—later than any of them imagined, when Gerald found himself walking home with Mrs. Millicent. The spell of the evening was broken now. He was simply a tired man, escorting a silent little woman home.

Therefore he had no feeling of guilti- ness, when he suddenly met Kittie. Yes, Kittie, in a carriage stopping before a house where she had evidently left one of her party. The searching electric light fell full upon her face, but there was no time to speak. The carriage drove off, and he and Mrs. Millicent walked on. He was not uncomfortable about it till after he got home. Then he began to think how Kittie would demand explan- ations, and how impossible it would. be to satisfy her. He resolved that he would see her the first thing in the, morning, explain it a)l, and get through the little scene as soon as possible.

But Kittie was not in in the morning, nor was he more suc- cessful when he tried to see her in the afternoon. The first rebuff irritated him, the second antagonized.

Gerald Hayes was a sweet-natured man,

easily led, and quickly influenced, but obstinate if one tried to drive him. His heart hardened against Iittie for ber absurd misunderstanding, and her silly

idea of punishing him.

He resolyed to ask Mrs. Millicent to drive with him that evening. She went, and he had the pleasure of passing Kittie in his whitechapel she was driving with her mother. She didn’t see him, but sat unnecessarily straight, and was 580 elaborately conscious that Mrs. Millicent exclaimed: ‘‘What is the matter? Don’t you know Miss Nicholson?’’

as

‘‘Not to-night, it seems,’’ he answered grimly. She looked at him keenly, but said

nothing more.

“This has been a delightful drive,’’ said he, when he helped her out, ‘*won’t you go again with me? Would to-morrow be too soon?”’

She looked at him and He was so big and yet so boyish. The frown that had wrinkled his forehead when they passed Kittie still shadowed his handsome face, and this little trick of using her for a foil was such an old one, and so transparent.

‘*Not to-morrow,”’ ‘‘but sometime, certainly.’’

‘‘T wish you would go to-morrow,’’ he said earnestly, his face dark with trouble, ‘*T really wish it very much.”’

He was forming the desperate design of driving with her every evening, and passing Kittie every time.

‘‘Not to-morrow,’’ she repeated, and left him disconsolate. On the morrow he had other things to think cf, for Kittie wrote to him at last.

It was a very angry, short letter.

‘After your outrageous conduct,’ she began, ‘‘you can hardly expect me to see you again. Our engagement, which most fortunatelr has never been announced. is

now eneeu, t nave no Ting vo revwurn, but I send with this whatever things 1? have that might remind me of you. Do not try to see me, for it is useless.

‘With many regrets over my own fool- ishness, believe me,

‘““Truly yours, ‘Katherine Nicholson.”’

To this he answered :—

‘‘My dear Kittie—I came to see you on Monday, with a full explanation of my ‘outrageous conduct,’ but you evidently did not care to hear it. I have done nothing which I can look upon in any way, as a reason for breaking our engage- ment. J am therefore compelled to believe that you wish it broken. Against your wish I will not appeal.

‘* Believe mie, ‘Very sincerely yours, ‘*Gerald Hayes.”’

After sending this note he felt very miserable, so miserable, in fact, that it did not seem to him he could exist with- out consolation, so he went to see Mrs. Millicent. He made so many cynical re- marks to her, in the course of his visit, about the faithlessness of women, that she had a véry good idea of what had happened, and was intensely amused. She sang to him and he seemed to quite enjoy all the melancholy ballads, revel- ing especially in one, with the pleasing refrain, ‘‘When love is a lie, and Hope is dead.”’

‘You're feeling down to-night, arn’t

you?’’ she asked, after she singing.

‘*Yes,’’ he answered, biting the ends of his moustache, and glaring savagely. | ‘*Y’ve had rather a blow to-day.”’

He would have told her all, in a min- ute, but she would have liked him less, if he had, and so she headed him off.

“Do you ever read Browning?’’ she was going to say. but the absurdity of the question struck her, and she changed it to:—

‘** There goes :—

‘‘T think that fits your case. ‘The best is yet to be.’ You’ve only seen half— hardly that. See it all, before you decide it’s so worthless. ’’

‘*Do you really think one can get over one’s troubles and forget them, and—and be happy without the things that one wants?”’

‘*T think you can,*’ she said, smiling- ly. ‘“‘I know you can. It isn’t the time now to write, ‘and so they lived happy ever afterward,’ at the end of your story. It would make the story too short, too stupid.. But it will be written there yet, never fear.”’

‘I think I shall go away,’’ he said, gloomily. ‘‘I’m feeling rather seedy, and a little change does a fellow such a lot of good.”’

‘Oh, don’t go now,’’ she answered, ‘“‘I’m expecting Miss Sherlock, from Vir- ginia, and her cousin, to stay a month with me. I’ve rather depended on you to help me entertain them. They’re nice girls, both of them. I think you'll like
