NEVER BET ON WO
MAN'S LOVE.
t David Lovrat.
Prom the K. Y. Mercury]
There was a brightniU. ft fmhnees and
glo-v about Annie Breton that won everybody
over toiler before they"ware aware of lu it
wa curious to note that everybody agreed in
on* tiling; that she was not a beauty and
could not betermed pretty. Come to analyze
he—to .measure the wid h between her eyes
length of her nose, proportions of her mouth
complexion, hair—really tliero was not a re
markable feature. What it was that tasei
natedev-fry one who came in contact with her
few oouid talk As for Annie herself, the
chief ehnrua of ah was revealed in the tact
that she was wholly unconscious of her
charms. So when Allan McDonald—young
Allan, the wealthiest man in the county
laid his lands, hia decant establishment and
tboir owner at her feet one afternoon in Oc
tober op the russet-colored leaves, no one was
more surprised lhau Miss Bret n. Stop. 1
will do her the justice to say that aha was
prepjred for evidences of friendship: she had
not thought lie entertained the idea l making
her his wife.
Her surprise was transient, carefully cou
cOiled. Ho saw that the. *r brightness of
hir faoe was brightened a trifle, that was all.
With tha self-possession and grac e of a queen,
Miss Breton asked ‘time to consider ” And
■Mr M -DouMld was compell and to be content
with that answer. To say that tha young man
was ill at ease, mortiti-'d, won!:’ scarce 1 )’ con
ray the truth. lie was angry with himself
for risking a refusal.
Allan had a confidant. To him he revealed
the truth. Unfortunately for him he selected
the las! plaoe in the world lor a private con
versation. The friends met in a photographer's
gallery, and in the absence of the artist this
occurred:
“Hoes it ocer.rr to you there may be a
ri\al," said the bosom fneud.
“x can’t conceive who Tt could bo," replied
Allar, thoughtfully.
• <You can mu over her acquaintances and
friends in your mind.'
"There is no one better acquainted with
her than myself, that lam aware of. Stop I
Yes. there is a fellow—you don’t him —a car
pentor, or something ul that sort, named
1 e no.”
"Wh . by tha wif, 'ns achieved distinction
as an architect. They say he is bouud to
make his way. i’ve heard my uncle say ho
has brains. X dare say it is the me," and
•young Hathertoiilaughedat his friends length'
eningfaoa Allan reflected. It would bo mor
tifying. indeed, to be outstripped by a poor
young mechanic; he with an incomo of seven
thousand a year.
• I see it disturbs you. Have a care my
boy," added his friend.
•i’ll wager you my ponies against a pai r of
gloves—anything you pleise,*' said Allan
Lilly, “that I win the day."
• Oh I Don’t be offended,” replid the friend
“Only don't be too sure.”
‘Will you bet.'
■Sinoa you persist, yes.'
‘Dose, fchake on that.’
■With all tuy heart, old fellow, aud I hope
you’ll win.’
•It’s a go,’ said Allan.
llad he known that ho had a listener, and
that the listener was the subject of their dig.
cus&ioc, he would have been less confident.
For in the ladies waiting room beyond. Annie
Breton lifted a finger warningly. as she
glauoed at her friend. It was a trying mo
ment to both. Hiss Ulgton was a young lady
who looked at the humorous aide of things.
Hot a giggler, but a wit. A puff of u'r ; a
chanoe movement on the part of the young
men might have revealed the young ladies.
Hiss Allston put her handkerchief to her lips
aud stifled a laugh. Again Annie’s finger
was held tip warningly. ‘Be still It will
bo very awkward if they see us he.o,” she
said.
I.uckily the operator entered at that mo
ment, and thua relieved them their of bus
pensa. , , , .. ,
•Well say nothing about it, said Annie
gravely. ‘At the same time, I will punish
im.’
•And throw away the best catch in the
county.'
•I hat for the beet 'catch' as you call him.’.
Iteally, Mies Breton looked auperb at that
moment ‘A* if money could ever weigh
against brains, decency or love.’
•Jly dear,’ said Miss Allston, 'you and 1
know a boat who are dying to be honored by
such mention.’
'ihc-to is no accounting for taata. Give me
a man who oan keep his own counsel, and
who is not a fool.
It sometimes happen—it ofien happens—
that a woman’s chance for matrimonial ad
vancement aro flung together- veriiyiug the
old saying *‘lt never rains but it pours.
It was so in Annie Breton's experience. The
very next morning Arthur Lane ca led in
person, and proposed in ft manner that
I roved to her that to him the decision was a
question of momentous importance. He was
a man of deep feeliug, uud.unonbtr.itive, but
his embanmwment, his very silence pleaded
for him a i he departed with the question still
u ai t led.
And now M -a Breton began to chide her.

tjied Air McDonald’s proposition. This
man’., manner, was so different. In shor
although .he morrow’s mail would announce
his fate. Bile sat down then and there, and
addressed the lover a note bearing a siugh
word :“Yes;”uud rose from her wilting with
sparkling eyes and flushed cheeks.
lu due time Allan McDonald a l lied for
his answer. He wis vain enough to flunk
that a little time was all that was needed.
No woman, he argued could reflect upon his
proposal without Surrenderiug. No woman
would throw away seven tarns and a year’
especially with such an accomplished, ban i_
some, well-bred appendage as himself. A
m n struggling for recognition upon the
threshold of a profession that required influ

with liitn
When he was announced, Miss Breton de
termined to prevent him from subjecting him
self to unnecessary humiliation. She was
so charitable as to credit him with mo e feel
ing than ha posaessed.
•I have called, Aiiss Breton, for my answer'
ile bowed, flecked an atom of dusk from his
sleeve and sat down The action frozo Miss
Breton rympathy.
“I almost regrott that I didn’t give it at
once, Mr McDonald”
■Mister!" Bo she inti not Lud sufficient

idea of selling herself cheap

The quiet look she gave him checked

The world now says Mrs. Lane made
a good choice. Few men are more re
spected or honored than her husband.
The lesson did McD na and good. It did
much towards curing inm of ins vanity,
besides teaching him never to bet on
woman s love.
