A Double Misunderstanding By Katherin ‘Copyright, 1902, by Dally Story Pub. Co.) HOUGH the gossips of the hotel} would have staked their lives upon it, It waa not exactly an engage- ment. In fact, until the first of, Jul when Jack Hazard went for his vaca- tion, they had never even heard of each! ther. Matters progressed so rapidly Whowever, that now that the month was ver, they seemed to have known each tether for years, Byery Saturd fternoon saw Hazard Blight from the hotel barge and with| would quite equal regularity Miss Packard be just coming out of the hotel, @ocidentally, of course, So this afternoon Hazard was really €roubled when Miss Packard failed to |@ppear. Inquiry at the office put his fears at rest. Miss Packard had been to lunch and was quite well, the clerk told him. On sending a boy with his ard he received the Information that Miss Packard had gone sailing with Mr, Ainsworth. Ainsworth! this was evidently a new arrival. The {dea was mot altogether pleasant. Hazard had ¢ Fairlee. him’ sweetly, so sweetly In fact, tha! his conscience smote him and he longed to confess hls duplicity. ‘Then she in- troduced him to Bartiara. There wa: a gleam in Miss Wington's eyes, but j she bowed quite formally. It was only too evident that Hazard was about to] go the way of at least half the youths} in the hotel. All he said was addressed to Barbara. Miss Winston was at her best. Polly sulked. She stood it for half an hour, then she rose. =~ “I must go," she sald. “Ob, don't,”* {protested Barbata mildly, but Polly | went She met Hazard in the hall as sho| was coming down to dinner. She | caught the old look in his eyes and | “You may have the first dance if you're | good," she sald, and hated herself for It a minute later, for Hazard replied, albelt with honest regret In his tone, “I'm awfully sorry, but I have it with Miss Winston.” “Oh,” said Polly, sweeping away with her little head held high. That evening she was her most wicked little self. She THE COMFORTER. Two CooL —————— HANDS LIFTED HER TUMBLED HBAD. i always thought himself the least jealous of men. He was undergoing a dilsillu- Bloning. He sat down on the plazza fac- fing the ocean to smoke the time away Rill her return. ‘About 6.80 up the walk came a girl ‘with a man. The girl was clad in a gost naulleal duck sallor sult and could be none other than Polly. She swung a gunbonnet by its strings as she looked Wp laughing into the face of the man Beside her. He, Hazard observed, was Wangerously good looking, and was gaz- fing most devotedly into Polly's charm- mx little ‘face. On discovering Jack she greeted him fn) a fascinatingly noncommittal manner, fm which there was not the slightest whede of compunction. She introduced tthe (wo men and Hazard found him- welf’ Tonging to annihilate the other, qwhile he shook hands with him cor- iBtally. Sunday was even worse. Ainsworth Beemed cheerfully unaware that he was the way, and not a moment did Wazara get alone with Polly until just Before supper. “You've been terribly grumpy to-day," @he sald, but so lightly thet Hazard could not flatter himself that It troubled her. “You knew this fellow Ainsworth be- fore, didn’t you?” Polly's ever ready laugh rang out. She weomed highly amused about some- thi ‘Oh, dear, yes, ever since we were ehildren—Billy’s a dear, Isn't he?” Hazard muttered something unintel- Ngible, which was, perhaps, just as well. That evening he saw Polly and \Ainaworth go out together and he wan- dered disconsolately down toward the ehore. He sat down on the rocks and gazed ‘@t the moon, smoking furiously, He ‘heard the murmur of voices below him, iAt firet he scarcely noticed them, then: "It's awful to have you go so far away,” Polly was saying in a pititul Uttle ‘yolce. “7 don't see how I am going to live without you, Billy." And , Ainsworth’s. volce replied, "I couldn't bhatay away from you long, Polly, I'll ye back in a year at the most and then V I'm going. to carry you back with me." By this time’Hozard was beyond reach ‘of the ‘voices. ‘At first he was horribly angry. He started for the hotel to pack his»sutt ease and depart, never to return, but ft the mere thought of never seeing Polly again he groaned, for he realized that Polly was the one thing the world held which he really cared about. He qwaiked for an hour or two along the gore, trying to conceive some plan for ‘bringing Polly back to him, for he had been very rure that she had cared for him, ‘The following Wednesday the barge brought but two new arrivals—a stout eldérly woman, and a girl who was un- Gentably a beauty. Little Polly Packard, coming.In from golf, was the first to admit the fact in her artless “Did you ever see anything 0 Jovely?” and whe frowned when che man with her sald, with unmistakable “Yoo, I do,” for none knew ‘patter than Polly her own limitations, ‘and sho was also well aware that her wwineoine smallness would suffer not at jl by comparison with the other's totally different charms. Then, “Why, © know her; it's Barbara Winston," she exclaimed. “She was an old girl at @urmington when I first went there.” Barbara was very willing to renew slight acquaintance of “old and mew girl,” and before the end of the week they were the best of friends Saturday afternoon came, and, as it ied, both Polly and Barbara were sitting on the veranda when the barge drove up, As fieual, Jack jumped out rat. He merely bowed and made a “tor the office, There were too ‘new arrivals to permit of pro- Malvilites until he had. regis- he came out again Polly greeted my whitbrotier flirted outrageously and more than one youth's hopes were raised high. In re- ply to Hazard's plea for a dance she in- sisted that her order was filled. The next day affairs were In the same novel state. Hazard scarcely went near Polly, who was so apparently enjoying herself with other men that more than one person was conyinced that she was not enjoying herself at all. Monday morning she did not appear until she had heard the barge drive away. Then she came down with a pathetic little look in her eyes, which flatly contradicted the radiant smile on her lps, to encounter—Hazdtd. She flushed crimson. ‘You here?" sho gasped. He took an Impulsive step toward her, “I decided to stay over because’—"'I'm waiting, Mr. Hazard,” and Barbara with her golf sticks appeared. Jack stopped, gulltily, and excused himself, leaving Polly to wonder what that “because” could be. She watched the two get Into the cart and arve away. Somebody sald, “What a perfect couple," and poor little Polly fled to her room in tears. Polly was just in the midst of a good hard cry, when her door opened softly, and two cool hands lifted her tumbled head and Barabra'e voice said, “Polly, dear, what's the matter?’ That young woman proceeded to sob more violentiy than ever. Barbara put her strong arms around her silently, and her eyes were more tender than ‘many people would believe Barbara Winston's eyes would ever be. Finally the sobs ceased. “I suppose you had a lovely game with Mr, Ha- zard,” returned a timid, little voice. with a studied attempt at nonchalance, “Very nice, indeed," and Barbara smiled. “Then you Ike him very much, don't you?” with i.i-suppressed anxiety. ‘Why, pretty well, why?" Polly broke down completely. ‘Then how can you be so cruel?" she stormed, her volce choked with tears, ‘He cared for me before you came and then, he met you, and you are so big and beautl- ful and clever, of course, he would care more for‘you, and—oh, dear, I wish I were dead!” Barbara lifted the girl's face. “Polly look at me," she commanded, quietly, and the ateady brown eyes gazed search- ingly Into the tear-filled blue onei “Polly, do you love hief?'' and Polly re- turned the steady gaze and sald as) simply and honestly as a child, “Ye: Barbara," and then hid her face again in the pillows. Barbara rose, ‘Don't move, dear,” she sald, cheerlly, ‘it will be all right, and kissing her, she left her. To Hazard, waiting below, she con- fided the result of her visit, He would scarcely belleve her, and waited with no patience at all until Polly came down to dinner. She was all in white, a very pale, quiet, Polly, very different from the old one, but guite as lovable. ‘As she passed him he asked, “May-1 have this evening?" and she assented, with a charming new shyness. The dinner seemed interminable to Hazard, but at last he was walking along the shore with Polly, He turned toward her, thelr eyes met— “But,” she protested, presently, ‘You oughtn’t to; really you oughtn't, every one says you are in love with Barbara.” Hazard laughed exultantly. “phen everybody is wrong," he sald. “Barbara's a queen, but I wouldn't be falling in love with my own cousin, you know; besides, she's engaged.” Polly gasped, Then Hazard assumed a most superior alr, “Really, Polly, you flirted so atroclously with that fellow, SEVENTH ARTICLE OF SERIES. Many women with pretty faces and figures that nature has Intended to be kind to are best deacribéd as awkward or clumsy. A graceful woman is she who knows how to carry herself easily with a sup- ple elegance that is charming and rest- ful to the eye and mind. No one ever is uneasy as to the im- pfession the graceful woman will make on a stranger. If you happen to possess a woman of unusual grace !n your family I know, whether you voice your thoughts or not, that you are delightfully proud of her every time when by her harmonious presence she literally graces an assem- bly, small or large. We have one yery graceful girl in our family. She Is an example of the acquirement of the poetry of motion. For she was as awkward and clumsy a child as I have ever known. She was a tomboy and she would turn her toes in despite the pleadings of an agonized parent. Likewise she stumbled and bumped Into persons and objects and pursued the helter-skelter ways of a singularly ungraceful period extend- ing from her seventh to her twelfth year.
