Year-Old Miss
— ,
- By ESTHER VANDEVEER
"Ethel," said Mrs. Spencef to ber
niece, "I have something of Impor
tance to say to you. Sit down and
give me your attention."
Ethel Digby, a demure little miss of
seventeen, seated herself gingerly, as
though she feared she might Injure the
chair with the hundred pounds she
placed on it. and cast her eyes on tho
floor.
"It isn't necessary," continued her
aunt, "for me to go over the circum
stances of your being here. The pow
er of wealth and the difference be
tween it and poverty are growing
greater every day. There Is much that
I can do for you with my wealth and
a great deal that 1 cannot do. I can
put yon forward for a limited time and
enable you to uilugle with those with
whom we associate, thus giving you
an opportunity to make an advan

good to get the name of pushing a girl
who hasn't a cent in the world, even
if she is my own niece."
"Yes. Aunt Margaret," wus the de
mure reply.
This homily was delivered toward
the close of the summer season. But
there was still from one to two months'
yachting in store for those who were
enabled to enjoy this most expensive of
luxuries. Mrs. Spencer, who proposed
to do everything in her power to en
able her niece to make a match during
the limited time that had been set
apart for the purpose, organized a
cruise iu her yacht, the Alpha, invit
ing the homeliest girls of her ac
quaintance and the most eligible young
men.
The party set sail late iu Septem-"
ber—after the equinoctial gales had
passed—for the waters of the south.
Though the cruise was extended over
some six weeks, it was a failure so
far as its main object was concerned.
Ethel Digby did not make a match.
Indeed, she did not appear to try to
make a match. True, there were no
colossal fortunes among the bachelors
of the party, but Mrs. Spencer did not
aim for millions for ber niece. She
would be contented with a beggarly
$500,000 or $000,000.
teaching the guTt or .Mexico, toe par
ty disbanded, some going to Florida,
some northward, while the owner of
the Alpha, with her husband and niece,
made a trip to the canal before re
turning to her home. At Colon they
found many persons who had come to
view the great engineering work, a
few of whom had come in their own
yachts. Among these was young
Farnsworth Elliot, who had recently
come into a fortune of $2,000,000. Fie
was well known to the Spencers, since
they all moved in the same multimil
lionaire class He. Invited them to
dine on board his yacht, the Esper
ance. and they returned the civility by
a similar invitation.
Mrs. Spencer had given up trying to
marry her niece in her own set and
took no steps to Inveigle Mr. Elliot
However, he showed a disposition to
go over the route of the canal in their
company, and they went together.
When they returned to Colon they
stayed, as before, on their respective
yachts until ready to make sail north
ward.
One evening Mr. Elliot was dining
with the Spencers on their yacht when
the conversation turned to marine sig
nals. Spencer, though a yachtsman,
left all sailing matters to his captain,
and knew? nothing about them. But
Elliot was from choice his own sail
ing blaster, leaving navigation to his
captain only when he happened to
feel like doing so. The ladles showing
an Interest in the signal code. Mr. El
liot gave them a lecture on the In
ternational systejn. Mrs. Spencer pre
tended to understand what he was
saying, while Miss Digby listened with
out saying anything. After making
his demonstration Mr. Elliot asked the
former some questions about the code
which showed her ignorance of It
■ ^ ... ... -
So wTHTproceedlng to exanlne Ethel
when Bhe interrupted him.
"Send n»e a message by signal when
you return to your yacht" she said,
"and I vrlJJ retnrn you an answer
that will show you that I have under
stood It"
"A good idea!" exclaimed the young
man. "Wll! you send your reply by
signal?"
"That will depend on the nature of
your message."
When the yachtsman had been pull
ed away in his dinghey Mrs. Spencer
said to her niece:
"What did you mean, Ethel, _by pre
tending to understand what Mr. Elliot
said about the marine signal code?
You didn't, did you?"
"Not a word of It."
"Will you get the captain to Inter
pret the message for you when It
comes?"
"No."
"Thell how will you reply?'
"My reply Is already decided on."
Mrs. Spencer looked at her niece,
surprised, and asked what the reply
was. To her astonishment, Ethel de
clined to answer her question.
"What's the matter with the child?"
remarked Mrs. Spencer to herself as
she turned away.
The message was to be sent the next
morning, since the lecture had not In
cluded night signals. Shortly after the
Spencers had breakfasted word was
sent to Ethel that she had been called
by signal from the Esperance. She
went on deck, and the Esperance was
Informed that she was ready to re
ceive what was to be said to her. The
message was then sent, and Miss Dig
by Instead of making a reply by the
code went to her cabin and wrote one
on a dainty bit of note paper.
Mr. Elliot did not look for a reply
at once. He waited for it patiently.
Presently he saw a boat approaching
from the Alpha, and when it reached
him he was banded Miss Dlgby's note.
He opened aud read it with an ex
pression of astonishment.
All love stories must necessarily be

love purported to be a photograph of
the feelings of the respective lovers.
This was and Is Impossible. Whether
or no there was any covert lovemak

'.i.nere was certainly no lovemaklng
on the face of this message, and it
meant nothing to Ethel, for she under
stood not a word of It
Elliot took tne reply to nis message
tc his cabin and locked himself In.
After an hour's meditation he ordered
his gig to be manned at 4 o'clock. At
the appointed hour he was pulled to
the Alpha and asked for Mr. Spencer.
That gentleman Invited him to a seat
under the awning ^on the afterdeck,
and when the two were seated Elliot
Informed his host that he had come
to ask for the hand of his niece.
Smothering his surprise, Mr. Spencer
reminded the applicant that Ethel was
his wife's niece and referred him to
hen The lady was called, and, her
husband having given place to her,
Mr. Elliot repeuted his request The
lady, also mastering her astonishment,
said to Mr. Elliot that if her niece was
pleased to accept him she had no ob
jections. Then the suitor drew from
his pocket Miss Digby's reply to his
message and handed It to Mrs. Spencer.
It read:
I am highly honored by your proposal
Following the dictates ot my heart, my
reply Is "Yes."
Mrs. Spencer was not the woman to
stand in the way of a consummation
so devoutly to be wished. That her
niece had achieved a coup d'etat was
evident to her, and, being a woman
of quick perception, at least a glim
mering of bow this golden fish had
been landed broke In upon her brain.
"1 assure you, Mr. Elliot," she said,
e.'teuding her band, "you will be cor
dially welcomed into our family. And
now if you will go to the cabin I will
go to my niece and send her to you."
"Ethel," she said, embracing her
niece, "you demure little thing, how
did you ever dare do it?"
"I don't know," was tne oniy repiy,
nnd It Is quite probable that It was a
true one.
There was no diminution of Miss
Digby's demurecess as she Joined her
suitor. She approached him with
downcast eyes.
"I am pleased," he said gallantly,
"tljnt you Interpreted my message cor
rectly. I feared you would not"
"I think its meaning came to me
through the heart," she said, with her
eyes still on the floor. "I am ever bo
bappy that 1 was right Had I been
wrong I would never have been able
to look you in the face again."
"Such a reply could not possibly be
wrong. You have made me the happi
est of men."
The Spencers and Miss Digby were
taken on board the Esperance and the
Alpha sent north under command of
her captain.
"Your courtship," said Mrs. Spencer
to her niece, "begins after the engage
ment You have got the cart before
the horse."
"How do you know, my dear aunt,
when it began?"
"I don't"
Mrs. Elliot is now one of the leaders
of fashion in New York and Newport
She is still very young, but it Is ad
mitted that she has an old head on her
shoulders. Her aunt whom she has
surpassed in social leadership, looks
upon her as a wonder.

Mrs. Spencer, "from a girl who at sev

by purposely misunderstanding a mes
