How old are you, Lucy?" Millie continued. “Then you have five years to wait, my dear,” said Millie. “Come, let us go downstairs. Tom will be here in a few minutes and [ want you to meet him.” Lucy was visiting her cousins in her the news of her engagement. Tom Lawson wus the son of old Peter Lawson, whose speculations in Mexican oil fields were reported to have netted him a fabulous amount | of money. And when Tom came in Lucy had to admit that he looked a | rich man’s son. The high-power auto- | mobile, his faultless clothes, his uni- versity manner made him a splendid catch for any girl. But what Lucy liked most about Tom Lawson was just himself. How she envied Millie that night as she lay awake, her mind busy with the memories of the day. The Wainwrights came of a good old fam- ily, but Millie's family seemed to ac- quire all the money, while Lucy’s re- mained poor. The magnificence of her cousin’s home was like a wonder world to Lucy. She did not know that they were living upon their capital, and that Millie's shrewd mother had staked her fortunes upon her daughter's making a brilliant match Millie had certainly done her credit. It was to be a marriage of youth and Lealth and plenty of cash thrown in. “It's Fortunate You're Only a Poor Country Mouse.” As the days wore away Lucy began to feel less and less comfortable in | her new surroundings. There was an atmosphere ol worldliness and insine cerity which alinost terrified her at times. The ways of her cousins were s0 diffcrent from those in her father's houscholad! Her motier had died two years be- fore and her father had been called west on an important business mat- ter. Lucy could hardly go home to an empty house. For this reason she tried hard to adjust herself until the end of her visit should arrive. Another thing which troubled her was Tom Lawson's evident liking for her society, and her own growing pre- dilection for the young man. Money had not spoiled him, at any rate. She was half afraid of arousing her cousin’s jealousy, but Millie, who had not failed to notice Lucy’s friendship for Tom, laughed at it. “It's fortunate you're only a poor country mouse,” she said, “and not“ likely to attract Tom, or else I should be jealous of you. Tom positively | seems anxious to start a flirtation | with you.” Lucy resolved to keep away from | Tom. But one afternoon he came in | 'TELEGRAM, LAKELZ “Just twenty,” Lucy+answered. | Virginia.

She could not remain there auy longer. Why, she was uo better than a thief! Her eyes were still red when she came down to dinner, but nobody poticed it, because Millie's mother i was half hysierical herself, answered “I don't know what we shall do!” she burst out petulantly. “Do you know the Lawsons are beggars? Posl tively beggars. And Tom has written to Millie asking to be released from his engagement because he can’t sup port her. The impudence of the man, to have won my daughter's heart un- der false pretenses like that!” “Never mind, mother,” said Millie. “Think how nearly 1 was deceived by him!” “But vou aren't going to let him it go, Millie!” exclaimed Lucy in amaze- ment. “Don’t you love him?” “Don't talk nonsense, child,” sald § Mrs. Wainwright with asperity. “How can one love a pauper?

A flat and abject failure is more to be loved than the blatantly successful, the conspicuously self-complacent man. How tiresome are these who are always prating of possession—forever engaged upon an inventory-—looking at everything with an appraiser’s eye and planning how to get it, or clse boasting that they got it and so have increased their stature in the public estimation!
