He turned cold as his Imagination projected a sketch of his mother In the net of reading this missive, and of her expression fis she read the sen ; tuuee: "It Is the sweetest thing now you are mine and I am yours forever klddo." He wished that Mllla hadn't written "klddo." She called htm that, scmet lines, but In her warm little voice the word seemed not at all what It did In Ink. He wished, too, that she hadn't suld she was bis forever. Suddenly he was seized with a horror of her. Moisture broke out heaviiy upon him: he felt a definite sickness, and. wishing for death, went forth upon the streets to walk and walk. He cared not whither, so that his feet took him In nny direction away from Mllla, since they were unable to take him away from hlmseJf of whom be had as great a horror. , Her loving face was continually before him. and Its sweetness made his flesh creep. Mllla bad been too sweet. When he met or passed people. It seemed to him that perhaps they were able to recognize upon him somewhere the murks of his low quality. "Softy I Ole sloppy fooir he mut tered, addreslng himself. "Slushy ole iiiusht . , . Spoonerl" And lie added. "Yours forever, klddo 1' Convulsions seemed about to seize him. Turning a corner with his head down, he almost charged Into Dora Yocum. She . was homeward bound from a piano lesson, and carried a rolled leather case of sheet music something he couldn't Imagine Mills carrying and lu her young girl's dress, which attempted to be nothing else, she looked as wholesome as cold spring water. Ramsey bad always felt that she despised him and now, all at once, he thought that she was Justified. Leper that he had become, he was unworthy to he even teaching his cap to her! And as she nodded and went briskly on, he would have given anything to turn and walk a little way with her, for It seemed to him that this might fumigate his morals. But he lacked the courage, and. besides, he considered himself unfit to be seen walking with her. He bad a long afternoon of an gutshesv' these becoming' most violent when he tried to face the problem of his future course toward Mllla.. H did oot face It at all, in fact, but merely writhed, and had evolved nothing wnen mday evening was upon him and Mllla waiting for htm to take her to the "band concert" with "Alb and Sade."

And the next morning he woke to the rhnflngs of remorse, picturing a Mllla somewhat restored Jn charm waiting hopefully at tha gate, even after the half past seven, and then, as time passed and 'he sound of the distant horns cam faintly through the darkneas, going sadly to her room perhaps weeping there.

What If Albert had reportsd his Illness too vividly to Mliln? Mllla was so fondt What if, In her alarm, she should come here to the house to inquire of his mother about him? What If she told Mrs. Milholland they were "engaged"! The next moment Ramsey was projecting a conversation between his mother and Mllla In which the latter stated thnt she and Ramsey were soon to be married, that she regarded him as al- ready virtually her husband, and demanded to nurse him. In a panic he fled from the house before breakfast, going out by way of a side door, and lie crossed back yards and climbed back fences to reach Albert Paxton the more swiftly. This creature, a ladles' man almost professionally, was found exercising with an electric iron and a pair of flannel trousers in a basement laundry, by way of stirring his appetite for the morning meal. ... . "See here, Albert," his friend said breathlessly. "I got a favor. I want you to go over to MlUa's " "I'm goln' to finish presaln' these "Then trousers," Albert interrupted. I've got. my breakfast to eat." "Well, you could do this first." said Ramsey, hurriedly. "It wouldn't hurt you to do me this little favor first. You Just slip over and'see Mllla" for me, if she's up yet, and If she Isn't, you better watt around till she Is, because I want you to tell her I'm a whole lot better this morning. Tell her I'm pretty near practlek'ly all right again. Albert, and I'll protriy write her a not or something right soon or in a week or so, anyhow. You tell her " "Well, you act pretty funny I" Albert Ramsey thanked him feebly, and In a state of partial stupefac tion, brought on by a glimpse of the Instabilities of life. He had also, not relief, but a sense of vacancy and loss ; for Mllla, out of his reach, once more became mysteriously lovely. Pausing In an alley, he read her note. "Dearie: 'Thought I ought to call you up but over the 'phone Is Just nix for explanations as Mama and Aunt Jess would hear everything and thought I might seem cold to you not saying anything sweet on account of them listening and you would wonder why I was so cold when telling yon good-bfur a wile maybe weeks. It Is tills way Uncle Purv wired Aunt Jess he has Just taken in a big touring car on a debt and his vacutlon starts tomorrow so If they were going to take a trip they better sturt right way so Aunt Jess Invited me.

I do not know Just when .iom again as the folks think I better stay up there for a visit at Aunt Jess and Uncle Purvs home in Chicago after the trip Is over, But I think of you all the time and you must think of me every minute and believe your own dearie she will never no not for one second be false. So for me and tell Sade and Alb good-b- y do not be false to me any more than I would be to you and it will aot be long till nothing more will Interrupt our sweet friendship." As a measure of domestic prudence. Ramsey tore the note into Irreparable d this slowly, fragments, but and without experiencing any of the revulsion created by MlUa's former ' missive. He was melancholy, aggrieved that she Bhould treat him so. y ' (TO BE CONTINUED.)
