"Amy." s:tid Mrs. Strlngfellow to her
daughter. "Walter Barnard hus been
pavIns attention to you now for six
months. If yon were engaged I pre
sume, that you would tell me. But J
wish to know surely whether you are
or are not."
"1 am not." replied Amy dolefully.
"That evidently means that Walter
hasn't spokeu."
"I think he will, mamma."
"Not without being brought to the
noint"
"Mamma, yon wouldn't wirh me to
tell him that I am expecting him to
propose to me, would you?"
"Certainly not. That would not be
the part of a girt. But a girl has her
privilege*, and one of them is to indi
eate to a young man paying her atten
tion that she wishes him to discon
tinue rtoini: *o."
"But I d 'li't"
The mother bit her lip. but said
nothing more Nevertheless she deter
mined that sfih'p her daughter had not
the spunk to bring her lover to a pro
posal she would make the attempt her
self. To Interfere In sueh a matter Is
always a j-iv 't risk, and the lady real
ized that by doing so she might make
a breach Ivtween herself and her
daughter that might never be healed
But Mr- Stria-fellow was naturally
diplomatic and determined that, she
! would pursue a little game of her own
which might mean a great deal or
I might ir:' i!> nothing

She Set a Trap
For Him
By F. A. MITCHEL
A gentleman alighted from a rail
way train, took a cab and was driven
! to a suburban residence. Ills sum
| mons at the front door was answered
! by a maid In a white uniform, trimmed
: far more elaborately than Is usual for
servants. Indeed, had It not been for
the cap on her head he would not have
taken her for such.
"Is Miss Mulford at home?"
"No, sir; she's not. She's gone to
the city."
"That's too bad. I've come a long
distance to see her." The gentleman
seemed much put out He stood think
ing what he would do next
"Reg pardon, sir. Are you Mr. Fltz
Hugh?"'
"Yes."
"Please come in. Miss Mulford left
a message for yon."
Mr. Fltz Hugh entered the house,
and the maid showed Uiiu into a very
pleasant reception room. On a table
•he l ound a nute addressed to him. It
read:
My attorney lias advised me that you
will visit me tor conference upon the set
tlement of our Interests in the Ormsby
estate in the hope that we may come to
an agreement whereby litigation may be
avoided. 1 have been called away today
and have instructed my maid to Itecp you
I till my return this evening. Annlo will
j provide you with whatever will enable
I you to pass the limo so far as she can.
The maid stood by demurely waiting
while the gentleman read the note.
When he had finished he looked up at
her admiringly and said:
I "Miss Mulford assures me that you
! will do what you can to keep me till
| her return The way for you to do
that is not to give me books to read
! or pictures to look at, but to entertain
I "How could 1 do that sir." protested
the girl, "you being an educated gentle
I man and I only a lady's maid?"
I "You can do it lietter than the lady
i herself. Heaven protect me from these
; intellectual women. They know just
enough about a subject to show their
want of depth and think all the while
! that they are showing their brains.
In my opinion a woman is intended for
motherhood and has uo business Y.'ltb
I ideas."
j "Oh, sir, you're very hard on us poor
j women."
; ' .Not on your kind—ou women who
; know everything. Doubtless if you
'iad left Miss Mulford to entertain
[ me she would have bored me with a
lot of opinions that would interest no
one but herself."
"What kind of woman la your ideal?"
"To me amiability and beauty are
the only requisite traits."
"Then you don't care for smart wo
men at all?"
"I don't wish one of them to come
near me."
"Not even a woman who Is capable
of takiug care of her business affairs'?
Miss Muli'ord wouldn't suit J'OU. sir.
for she's all of that."'
The maid entertained Mr. Fltz Hugh
durin;: the day by listening to him
talk. Uy the afternoon mail came a
#ote from Miss Mulford usking him to
leave a proposition with Annie since
she would be delayed in the city for
several days. He submitted a basis
for settlement, aud Annie picked out
several points in it that would lead
to trouble. He saw and corrected
them at once and complimented her
011 her foresight Then he left her and
returned to the city.
lu a few days be received a note
from Miss Mulford that she was sorry
to :.ive him another journey, but she
would be pleased to have him call
again lie went, wishing that he
tnlulit Gi:d the lady again absent and
be turned over to the care of the maid
"That girl," lie said to himself, "is just
what I'd want for a wife—Unit is. if
she were in the same swM class with
myself."
On reaching »he house he was ad
mit;.'d by u tiller. which was a great
.lUnppointnicnt to him He had intend
j ed to say a few nice things to the maid
! before seeing Iter mistress He was
! ushered into the same room as before,
[and in due time Annie came into the
room dressed like a lady. Fitz Hugh
looked a; her surprised.
"Mr Fltz Hugh." she said, "pardon
me for playing maid the other day. 1
desired before entering upon a discus
sion with you as to business affairs
of ;;i-eat importance to both of us to
learn what kind ca mau 1 had to
deal with. I found you. 1 am happy
to ;;,»y. a gentleman of sound Ideas,
liberal and capable of understanding
your own interest as well as mine.
You know that it is in your power to
deprive me of my interest in the estate
if 1 go to law In oilier words. I am
at your mercy. Can yon blame me
] for learning your disposition before
taking action?"
"No. I can't;." rejoined Fits Hugh
earnestly. can suggest a way by
which Qur interests can be made iden
tical."
"What way?" asked the lady, drop
pins her eyes before his impassioned
gjjze.
"Marry me."
"I will." said Miss Mulford.
A few days later Miss Mulford visit
ed her attorney.
"Well?" h,c asked. "What luck?"
"I've got him."
"Good: It was your only chance to
save anything. How did you man
age It?"
"Oh. that's a lirtle story," she replied,
and, dropping into a seat, she told him
of her ruse to trap Mr. Fitz nugb.
