HAMILTON. | 1 “] guess that good-for-nothing Wal-| ter Jameson will be coming home goon, now that the old man has cashed in,” was the gossips' verdict in Hicks- ville, And when, a few weeks later, Wal- ter did arrive from the West, to take care of his widowed mother, the gos- sips winked and nodded to one an- other as much as to say, “I told you Walter had been the unsuccessful | one of the family. His sister married [ a rich lawyer in New York; his elder brother was a successful lawyer in the same city. But Walter had never suc- ceeded. At last his father had bought him a ticket to Nevada—it was in the days of the gold boom—and told him not to let him see his face again. Walter did not feel any particular regret at leaving a father who had never shown him any affection. But his mother had cried, and that made | him feel badly—also leaving Nancy Dayton. They had been sweethearts | once. But that was when they were twenty-one—before Walter had shown himself a ne'er-do-well. Nobody had believed in him, and Nancy least of all, She grew up to be a flirt. When he told her he loved her—the second time he came home penniless—she laughed in his face. “I'll win you yet, Nancy,” he an- swered, and went away. Yes, there was one person besides his mother who believed in Walter, but he did not know it. That was Elizabeth, Nancy's little sister. She had all the faith that a child has in one whom she instinctively recognizes to be misjudged. But a man in love with a young woman of twenty-three pays scant attention to her sister of fifteen. And now Walter was back. And, to | his mother, he was still the boy who was going to make so much of his life, though he was almost thirty. He | had been gone six years that time. | “You are going to stay home with | me, dear,” she said, "It will be hard | She Laughed in His Face. to keep things going, and your father left only two thousand in insurance, ' but we will do our best together.” But she looked wistfully after him the morning after his arrival, as he walked over to the Dayton house.

THE EVENING TELEGRAM LAK had refused several good chances, be- | cause she wanted to begin life where her parents had left off—with a com- fortable income. When Walter reached the door he was astonished at the vision that he | saw before him, It looked like Nancy, but it was an idealized Nancy, the Nancy of whom he had dreamed dur- ing those lonely years in Nevada. ! soon as I saw you I knew that I had “Why!—this isn’t Nancy!” he gasped, staring at the beautiful young girl whe stood smiling at him. “No, I'm Elizabeth,” answered the ' girl, blushing at his frank stare of admiration. “Nancy is out this eve- ning. Won't you come in, Mr. Jame- son?”’ The news of Walter’s arrival had al- ready spread through the village and reached the Dayton home, It was well for him that he had not heard the | he told her the momentous secret scathing remarks that Nancy had made about him. When he took his leave an hour later, the young man realized that, whatever his love for NaLcy might have been, the image that he carried in his heart had now a striking re- semblance to Elizabeth. And he was bound in honor to ask Nancy to be his wife. That was the irony of it! When he called the next evening and met her his heart sank. How could he ever have loved Nancy, this woman with the affected air and the peevish lines about her mouth? Though his welcome was not an ef- fusive one, Nancy was hospitable, in virtue of old associations. Her talk was vivacious, and all about the balls and parties to which she had Leen. She spoke of her beaux, with a sly glance at Walter, and lamented the tediousness of life in a small town. It was not until he was about to leave that Walter summoned up cour~ age to say what was uppermost in his mind. “Nancy, do you remember what I told you last time we parted?” he asked, Nancy's heart beat quickly, but it was not with love. She had not had a proposal for six months, and she was longing for another scalp to hang at her girdle. “1.9, Mr, Jameson, she irquired archly, “That I was coming back to marry you,” he answered. What was it?” [ | she faltered, and tried to run away. | But Walter caught her. “Now you listen to me,” he said. | “It's true I did ask Nancy to marry me when I came back. But it wasn't | because I loved her, Elizabeth. As loved you all the time. It was be- cause—I felt honor bound, my dear. { And when she refused me my heart just leaped up to think it was going | to be you.” “How do you know it's going to be me?" asked Elizabeth. For answer he took her in his arms and pressed his lips to hers. “Isn’t it?” he demanded eagerly. And Elizabeth said “yes.” And then which was shortly to set all the town gaping, For it was really true. And when he bought his mother the finest house in the place, and it became known that he had made his fortune in the Jame- son gold mine, all Hicksville rushed to invite him to its homes. But Wal- ter and Elizabeth were too busy with their preparations for the coming wedding to think much about social life just then. As for Nancy—there were four new lines about her mouth forever after, two on each side; and its downward droop was decidedly accentuated. (Copyright, 1914, by W, G. Chapman.)

He looked into Nancy's mocking face and said good-by. But that was not his last visit to the Dayton home. On the contrary, he called frequently after that—only it was to see Miss Elizabeth. And sometimes words were sald which brought the color into her fair face and a look of unutterable | happiness into her eyes, Of course, Nancy was not slow to see what was transpiring, She taunt- ed Elizabeth in her sisterly manner. “Well, Elizabeth, if you want my cast-off beau, of course it's all right,” she said. “Only he'll always be a pauper, and if I were you I would send him right about face without de- That Walter had asked Nancy to marry him since his return Elizabeth did not know, The words stung her.
