Her heart beat to suffoca- tion with misery and suspense. She did not dare to stay lest she might hear Henry Pay- ton make love to . . [ [d [ [ [ L [ Mamie, an old love of his. She could not have borne that. Neith- er did she dare move lest they hear her — they were not ten feet distant Constance won- dered why Henry had brought her to this picnic— and then let Ma- mie Travis absorb his attention with her Irish wit and fascination. Con- st went through an eternity of | torture before she plucked up courage to take down her hands, remove her pumps and slide away. Soon she was safe out of sight. She stopped near a swift little brook | where the sunset was mirrored rosily [ in the clear water. The stillness of the woods soothed her a little, and she began to plan how she could find the others and get home without ac- cepting Henry's escort. They were all in pairs, and some one would in- sist on going with her. Jack Manning had brought Mamie. Her shoes still in her hand, she sat down, curling her feet under her, the thought striking her with shame that she loved Henry Peyton before he had spoken of love to her! As she sat there she heard a crash in the bushes and in a moment Jack Manning, whom she hated, came swaggering up to her. “Hello! Guess you and I'll have to console each other. We seem to be deserted.” He seated himself beside her, scanning her admiringly with his bold, dark eyes. She flushed in distress. “Say, little one, I'll take off shoes, too, and we'll go wading. that what you came for?" her head. “I don't like you. Go away! Please —I'm tired and want to think.” “You can think when you're older and not so pretty. Thinking's no job for a beauty—come, console me for Mamie. She wouldn't mind consoling a fellow.” Constance jamped up, snatching her shoes, and ran away from him as fast as she could. It was growing dusk and she was timid—indeed deathly afraid, but of him more than of a whole lonely forest. He looked after her a moment, bit off the end of a fresh cigar and muttered to himself: “Turned down, eh? Went too fast with her. Is Peyton crazy to forget a peach like that for—Mame?” He lit his cigar and sauntered off. Finally he found the others grouped under the trees preparing to go home. Presently Henry brought Mamie back, the girl sober-faced, her eyes a little red, but the man was very quiet. “Where's Constance?” he demanded. Mrs. Turner, the chaperon, did not know. “I think you're the one to know,” she remarked, sigunificantly, “and it's getting dark. Better look for her— I saw her go off by herself,” Henry strode off. A half hour later in the deep dusk, thoroughly alarmed, he was still searching. He called her name aloud, but she did not answer. What had become of her? His heart failed him. + Why had he left her even a moment? Why had he bothered to save a girl like Mame from her own undoing. If she wanted to play with Manning till a good chap llke Thorne was sick of her—it was her buslness. “Constance,” he called. “Connle!” Then going around a big tree, he came upon her white little figure huddled against the trunk. Her hands in her absurd fashion were over her ears. She was crying softly. He rushed up to her, taking down her hands and shaking her a bit from sheer relief to find her safe. “Connle—darling! you frightened me to death! What made you hide?” He drew her toward him, but she freed herself firmly, shaking her head. “Constance! You—know I love you. I didn’t intend to tell you yet— but it's out now. Don't you—care for me at all?” “You were—making—love to her— under a tree—I saw—but I didn't listen.” The man laughed and agaln drew her to him despite herself “Making love to Mamie Travis? I'm not a fool. I was lecturing her within an inch of her life about that scamp Manning! rhaps she was not worth nown her a long time.” my Is She shook brook and | THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK ELAND, FLA., MAY 20, 1914, \ e OB FOR REPRESENTATIVE The friends of Mr. Eppes Tucker, ~ FUR COUNTY TREASURER ! «bbounce myself a candidate for county treasurer of Polk county sub- Ject to the action of the Democratic primary election June 2, 1914, WERNER G.
