do so, but compromised by twis
her fingers tightly together bei
her back. .1
From her standpoint she f&tA-
things never could be the
again. It wasn't that she bl
him for caring because sh^Y
seen too much of Tom WellF
had rather enjoyed his jealf
first. She liked to sec him stah&ing
by, clinching his hands and growing
pale, because she knew that it w
all because of love for her. B
when the battle was finally on, when
he had got her alone and come to
the point, things changed. Instead
of having him at her mercy he some
way seemed to have her at his.
"There now, little girl, it's all
over, and we might as well kiss and

answered slowly;.

This remark was made the
other day by S. H. Hammond, a
prominent McKinney merchant,
to a group of friends in the pres-
ence of a Courier reporter and at-
tracted attention of all on account
of that being the cognomen of
our president.
By way of explanation, Mr.
Hammond said that be and his

resident of this city now, who
were then young farmers, con-

business in the year 1877 iu the

extreme southwest portion ot this
ciunty near which they lived.
They found a suitable empty store

a wholesale New York dry goods
merchant named Theodore Roose-

into possesFion of the property
through the failure of a retail

somehow grow to let their physical
power dominate their motives as
well. Mr. Philip Ewing, you can't
carry me before you just because
your arms are strong. A woman
admires fine proportions in a man,
but not after he betrays that his
muscle and brawn are mightier fac-
tors in his life than gentle manli-
ness. To think about it, 1 don't
know but I prefer Mr. Tom Wells'

abundance of honor and honesty,

pompous stubbornness."
She was frightened at herself, for
she hadn't meant to say so much,
but when she had begun she could
not find a place to stop. Then, too,
she rather enjoyed seeing him
wince, and when lie drew in his
breath with a quick start of pain at
her fling at his "questionable fame"
she was goaded on by an irresistible
power to show him, once for ell,
that she wasn't goijig to be wax in
his hands. She wis too angry to
consider. Pride had overpowered
her love, and as she went on the
big fellow only looked at the tiny
fury in speechless amazement, crush-
ed, hurt, astounded at her sarcastic
deluge.
At last she finished. lie bowed
his head as if to go and then turned,
holding out the dear, strong arms,
where she would have given worlds
to creep if only she could have done |
so without a sacrifice of her pride,
and all he said was:
"Beatrice, for heaven's sake don't
make this mistake. Remember, dear,
that you once loved me; that I.
was the iirst man you loved; that
you were the first girl I loved. You
can't go to some one else. I won't
let another man have you and kiss
you and tell you things I have told
you."
But this tiny embodiment of the
new woman's determination to teach
man his place set her teeth and only
smiled at him—smiled just as amus-
edly as he had smiled at her in the
beginning of the little dispute which
now had reached such alarming pro-
portions.
Poor Philip stood and waited,
holding out his empty arms, and
she merely smiled. So he turned
and went, but the new woman re-
ceived a terrible shock the instant
that the door closed behind him, fo*
Miss Beatrice threw herself on a
mountain of pillows and indulged in
a deluge of good salt tears, just the
kind Ere would have shed had for-
tunate Adam had to go through the
probationary period of lovers' dis-
putes before she became Mrs. Adam.
There was that tea that very aft-
ernoon where she was goi% to pour.
It would never do in the world not
to go, for the girls must never
dream that she cared, but she chok-
ed again as she remembered that he
had promised to drop in near the
end with a few of the men. And
she knew what that meant, for had
er been in earnest with her, she sup
posed, and took this way to show it 1
when he grew tired of her. Well, j
she would show him that wDmen can j
be hard, too, and she was going to
begin by breaking every masculine
heart at that tea that; afternoon.
'Tor," mused this desperate little
girl as she arrayed herself with fe-
verish skill in the lovely new gown
sent home that very morning, "1
used to be glad I am pretty because
Philip—no, Mr. Ewing—liked it.
Now I am glad because I know it
will make me all the more capable
of hurting him just as he has hurt
me."
Everybody marveled at Miss
Lane's vivacity, and Tom Wells
fairly tingled with joy at the look
she gave him when she dropped the
tiny sweet cubes from her tongs
into his fragile cup. But when the
other guests were gone to the dress-
ing room and the men were waiting
to escort their fiuftily clad charges
to the carriages Beatrice sat alone
and forgotten. Plulip was late, and
he strode past the men into the
drawing room and soon had found
the table at which Beatrice was sit-
ting. And when she looked up to
see him standing before her, with
his fine head bowed and such a
cruel, white line about his lips, all
she could do was to hold out her
hands. Philip took them.
"It was all my fault," she breath-
ed.
"No: it was all mine," he whis-
pered. Then he went on, looking
into her eyes with his face strangely
sad and determined:
"It has been a terrible lesson, my,
love, and one we must never try
again. Perhaps this may not have
done much harm, except"—and his
voice grew husky—"there will al-
ways be that little rift in the lute.
I had hoped we should never have
that to regret, but it came, and we
must use it as a warning. Hasn't
it been terrible enough, Beatrice, to
keep us from it forever ?"
Their hostess found them both so
worn and yet so happy that she un-
derstood without a word.
"Come with me," was all she said,
and, taking them each by the hand,
she led them back to a dear little
room, all palms and blossoms and
soft, rosy lights, and there she left
them, saying as she stole away:
"Beatrice hasn't been well or hap-
py this afternoon, and she is all
worn out now. Do you know, Mr.
Ewing, that when I am tired and
heartsick there isn't anything in the
world which rests me and makes me
glad 60 much as my husband's
kiss?"
Johnnie's Engagement.
An old lady who was a great bore
paid a visit to a neighbor. She pro-
longed her stay and finally said to
one of the children, "I'm going
away directly, Johnnie, and I want
you to go part of the way with me."
"I can't," said Johnnie, "for we're
going to have dinner as soon as you
leave."—Philadelphia Telegraph.
