Yes, sir, % am a lady, remember it.” I Fast and angry came the words wpringing up from a cozy hammock wwinging between two apple trees. | She had been feigning sleep when Mer cousin Arthur, approaching si- Nently, coughed a little to wake her, ap, and this being unsuccessful, he gently leaned over her and, encir- aling her graceiul head with his tands, implanted a long and sweet iss on the forehead, white as the Wly of the valley. It is hard to say W it was the kiss or the pressure of whe hands on the temple. Perhaps whe lkiss was too long, but Arthur would not duplicate it, for Tdith stood up, her cheeks and forehead govered with indignation. “How dare you!" Imphasizing her words with little stamps of her foot and grinding her pretty French heels if you are willing.” “Enough! 1 am not trifling; keep your vulgar jokes to yourself. I will not be a party to them. I am dis appointed in you; I do not find the jolly cousin and the refined gentleman I remember of two years ago, When you left to study medicine, Go away. I do not want you to sit so close to me.” “But—" “There is no but, and do not look at me in the eyes like that. I am not taking any Parisian galantries.” “What—" “There is no ‘what.’ Listen to me,” ghe said vehemently. “You outraged \ my feelings, and I am right to pro- test. More than that, you greatly disappoint me. The first time you .see me alone after two years of ab-’ gence, you take advantage of my soll- tary sleep in the orchard and insolent Iy kiss me on the forehead. I wonder what has produced such a change in you since we parted. I was always expecting you to return a polished man.” “Now, may I have a word, please?” “Yes, justify yourself, if you can.” “Your cousin Arthur has returned the same as ever; he has kisses only | for you.

The curve of the hammock brought them very close together, his | arm leaned behind her, forming a rest | for her head. “Does that mean,” he says, “that | having grown to a lady you do not care any more for my love and| kisses?” She smiled in triumph at the situa- tion, He continued: that, being a lady of nineteen, your heart is no more as it was at seven- teen? Could that mean that you have another love? “The change is on your side, sir.| You promised to complete the engage- | ment on your return. You have been | staying here since yesterday, and your cool behavior is at variance with your former ardor.” “It is your fault. I was to tell you that I had "your father's consent and | to put upon your finger the engage- ment ring. I knew you were in the hammock, I came straight to the place. I find you asleep, I kiss you very tenderly and you fly into a fury.” “Oh! That kiss, that kiss again. 1 tell you, there is no excuse for it.” “Even now?” “Less than ever.” “How {s it.
