Miss Bolton's name was always among the lists we printed of the guests at the Entre Nous Card club, the;Iinperlul Dancing club, the "Giddy Young Things" club, the Art club and and Shakespeare club. But when ahe came to the office she was full of anxiety at the frivolity of society. She said that she longed for Intellectual companionship; that she felt sometimes as if she must fly to a place where she could find a soul that would feel in unison with the Infinite that thrilled In her being. Far be It from her to wish to coin the pulsations of ber soul, but papa and mamma did need her help so. She accented papu and mamma on the last syllable and leaned forward nnd looked upw'nrd like a shirtwaist Madonna. But writing locals someway didn't appeal to her. She wondered If we could use a stria! story. -- And tben she went ont "Oh, I have some of the sweetest things In my head! I know I could write thera. They Just tingle through my blood like wine. I know I could write them such sublime things but when I sit down to put them on pner something always comes up that prevents my going on with them.

Miss Larrabee said that Papa Bolton's was burning up so fast that she wanted to call out the fire department, and that Mamma Bolton e made her think of the we printed from "poor testimonials lred women." The day of the wedding the blow came. A very atarched-ulittle boy with strawberry Juice frescoed around his mouth brought In a note from Maybelle' and a tightly rolled manuscript ribbon.

We did not see Miss Bolton nt the office for a long time after the duke abducted the lady In tlie wonted grnnge, but we received a poem slzned M. B. 'To Dan Cupid." and another on Also there "My Heart of Fire." came an anonymous communication lu strangely- - familiar fat vertical handwriting to the effect that "some people In this town think that If a young lady has a gentleman friend call on her more thnn twice a week It Is their business to assume a courtship. They should know that there nr- - souls m rids earth whose tendrils rench Into the Infinite beyond the gross materiality of tills mundane sphere to a destiny beyond the Sim's." At the bottoui of the page were the words: Tlease publish and oblige a subscriber." The next that we heard of Miss Bolton was that she was running pink Snd blue her through white things, and was expecting a linen shower from the T. T.

On his ascent from the cellar way he found tlie kitchen door had blown open, and wintry gusts of snow were cascading In. He closed the door and went about bis labors, when an unmistakable "me-ow-" warned him that be hud a visitor. A scouting expedition revealed the visitor In his study, a kitten, decorated with a crimson ribbon. Evidently she had slipped In when the kitchen door blew open. After some skillful stalking, which did not make his world any the happier, he cornered the kitten. He had reason to believe It belonged next door, so he decided to drop It over the fence. He performed this act with due ceremony and retreated to his belated breakfast. As he entered tlie kitchen his doorbell rang nnd he hastened through the bungalow. "Nine o'clock and breakfast twenty miles away !" he groaned. He opened the door and found himself facing n slight figure muffled In a fur cunt. "I wonder If you have seen my kitten?" a sweet volte queried. "I Just deposited a feline of the description over the backyard fence," he replied with some coldness as befitting tlie time of tlie year, tlie subject, and a breakfnstless man. "Oh, you did '." the sweet voice said with Increasing chill. "I thank you! But. if I am not mistaken, I Just saw the kitten back of you i" He started to say "Impossible," but remnrked 'that nothing seemed to be impossible "that morning; nnd It certainly was probable that the kitte'i, dropped over tlie fence, had found some familiar hole nnd tagged him straight into the house again.

"Now, If that kitten should come again I'll lime an excuse for going over, and perhaps I can make a better Impression than I did this morning," he thought to himself. lie made his usual morning trip to the post oflhe and returned by way of the street on whi -- h the pretty owner of the kltlen lived.

Once more In his snug and comfort-aid- e study lie set himself to work, but It was of little use. In fron. of the pnge he saw brown eyes so deep his glance conld not fathom them; the curve of rosy cheeks and the hint of heavy colls of brown hair under the fur cop. "I am gone there's no doubt of It Now, If that blasted kitten would only appenr ngain." he communed with himself. He even made, to his disgrace, a number of trips to the kitchen door, hot no kitten upieared. The afternoon wore on 1o evening. He prepared and made way with a very satisfactory repast and was smo!;ing a pleasing cigar when Ids heart jumped. At the kitchen door lliere an sounded unm'staknble "Me ow !"
