Tbis consisted iu entertaiuing trieuds of her owu choosing, amoLg wbom she became a social leader, but ibe lived quietly, oousidering the ex¬ tent of ber fortuue. Haviug a dread 3f money hunters, ehe skilfully spread ibroad tbe report that she was de¬ termined never to marry agaiu.

He never paid a formal call, or came, uu- ess she specially wished il, ou oue of uer "at borne" alternoons,
Baxter grew communicative iu Uis brusque wny, giving the widow the buuellt of bis grumbling against fate 'or keeping him unemployed.
¦'So 1 wont auother wnr," he sai.l 3ue day, "It is terribly eellish—but we are all terribly selllsli when we are uard up."
"I have beard several Ncerets ..f fours quite lately, ' .Mrs. Moyuard iu. ierpose.I.

"Ob, yes. 1 know. I Iihvo beard ibout it from graletiil people whom you uever supposed that I kuew any¬ thing about "
"Oh—that—there'a uothiug in tbal. It would bo better to be dea.l, if oue might uot do n good turn for some de¬ cent folks iu distress every now and tbeu. I dou't do It because I am a charitable or geueroua sort of fellow. I do it because it pleases me. '
