Frank Rnnnlon was forty years old
(in J a man of the world. He bad not
mn tried because he regarded It a wo
man's purpoae to bang on to some
tnnn and get out of him all she could.
Ui\T <>t them be considered adrcu
turesses, capable of deceiving Satan.
Runnlon was an Importer, and every
year he went to Europe to lay In a
stock of gooda. He was one after
noon buying In a lace factory In the
environs of Paris when an American
lady and her danghfer. who were l>e
lnc shown through the premise*, pass
e<l htm. The mother was a thin wo
man. The daughter may be described
ss willowy. about twenty y?ars old,
retiring and dlffldent ner mother

evinced considerable interest In whst
was shown hor, taking up Ihcm mid
examining them with a critical eye.
Taking op a fine piece of valen
ciennes. she said something to the pro
prietor. who was showing her throuch
his establishment, which called forth
a protest from him.
"You are mistaken. Mtne. Wether
en.*" be said "Thai Is the finest qual
ity of Its kind I can prove it to yon
by this gentleman This is M. Hun
nion. w ho imports as much lai-e every
year as any merchant in New York
Runnion confirmed the proprietor's
! opinion as to the quality of the lace,
and beinc attracted by the graceful
ficure and languishing eyes of Miss
Wetherell proceeded with them In their
inspection of the premises It was ap
parently to them simply a matter or
sightseeing. for neither of the ladies
; bought any lace and tbe younger one
wore tbe bored expression of one who
Mas for months been occupied with
visiting European curiosities. Runnion
walked beside her, chatting with her
in a desultory way. There was noth
ing remarkable in what she said, but
her voice was melodious.
It Is strange that Americans who
might at home know each other easn
nlly for years without getting any near
! er focether will when abrr>ad become
friends on the slightest provocation
Within an hour In tbe French l#ce fac
tory Runnion and the Welberells be
came more Intimate than If they had
known one another a year In America
When I bey were making their exit the
! mother dropped behind to hold a con
versation with the proprietor, while
Rnnnktn and the daughter sauntered
slowly iu advance. Then when the
:wo were Joined by the madauae they
proceeded together to the railway sta
Hon and to l*aris Runnion asked if he
micht call upon them, but (hey said I
they were about to sail for America i
and had so much to do by way of
preparation that It would bo difficult
for him to find them unoccupied How
ever. It came out that they had all
engaged pnssaee or the same steamer
and on the voyage (bey would have
plenty of time to enjoy one another's
society.
On the steamer Runnion looked for
ills newly made friends, but for the first
two days neither of them appeared
! On the third day he saw Miss Wetherell
sittlne on deck In a steamer chair,
vrapped In rues He approached her
rd was graciously received. Inquir
ing for her mother he was told that
she had been detained In Paris. There
were papers to be signed In America
by Miss Wetherell to complete the sale
if some property she had owned, and
was essential that she should go at
once Mrs. Wetherell w<juld sail In an
?t her fortnight
Say what you will about marriage. II
I Is a leap In the dark. Runnion had
iN->roe to reallre this and knew that he
tnist choose between such a leup and
i lonely old age He could take
hr.nces on occasion and determined to
make the plunge with Miss Wetherell
?that Is. If she would have him. tf
he bad asked himself why he was sat
isfied with this especial young lady the
mly proper answer would have been
that sbe had n wtllowy figure, a melo
i dlous voice and languishing eyes. Thla
I* hardly ? anlllclent reason fr.r ? man
who since early youth baa doubted the
whole se* on which to choose ? wife,
hut when he ortce decided to plunge be
shut* his eyes and plunges.
Runnlon, It Imk been Mild, had been
captivated by Miss WetberelPa wil
lowy figure. 'Then she threw off her
rup and arose from ber steamer chAlr
to so down to luncheon ber figure did
not ere in qnltti so willowy a* when be
had first eeen her On several other
occasions during the voyage when ?be
w?? without wrap* he noticed the j
same thins Every day the young lady
loat something of tb.->*e lines of figure
that bad tourhed Eunnlon's fancy.
But her voice remained melodlon* and
her eyes soft. If cn? of her charms
was departing the other two remained.
A flsh canght on a hook Is In a diOr
ent position frt?m a fish not canjrht on
a hook. Runnlon had got fairly start
ed on his matrimonial venture. and a
little thing Il*:e his tadylore salnlns '
flesh was not sufficient to tnrn him
hack.
Hesldes, snpi'ose he did tnrn hack? j
There was tl?e same lonely old ase to !
stare blm In the face. If Ml<?s Weth
erell was dally getting fat he was dally
learning of some new charm In her.
What these charms really were be !
didn't atop to Inquire Appealing to 1
the senses and to the reason are I wo
widely different matter*. One may ap
peal to the latter without affecting the j
former, bnt If the former are foncbed
the latter goes np In the air. Rnnnlon
had l>een using his reason erclnslvely
with resard iro women for twenty
years. Now be was giving his sense* a
chance.
The evening Iwfore making port Run
nlon sat on deck with Miss Wetherell
It was October, but the air was not
j et cold. He did not Intend to plnnge.
bnt he plnnged. Prol?bly most? or at
any rate? many proposals are nnlnten
tional The htdy, however, held her
self more under control. She said she
mnst take time to consider. She was ;
very yonng and msrrlape was the moat
lmj?ortant step In a woman's life. She
gave him Iter address In New Tork
and told lilin that she would be pleased
to sec him there He seen red ber con- j
sent to hia calling tte next evening
after the arrival of the steamer.
Ry morning tfte wea'her had changed
and It was quite cool. Miss Wetherell 1
when prepared to go ashore wore fnra. !
The last vestlpp of ber willowy figure
had departed Bnt her voice was the
same and her eyes were the same The
figure had done Its work with Runnlon '
and was no longer necessary, especially
so long as the voice was melodious and
the eyes languishing He stood with j
her In a corner. pressed her hand, and
said something to ber In a low voice
which made her droop her lids and I
cover her eyes with her long Issbea i
Then I hey parted, to meet the same
evening Munition hurried on ahead,
desiring to get through some work at
his connting room before business j
clowd. |
Ho wont to his apartment* In the '
afternoon. ,irossied for the'erenlng and j
proceeded to hl? club to dine. Marine
ordered his dinner ho took np an eren !
tag paper. His ere was caught at
once l?v enormous letter* announcing
tho arrival of tho steamer In which
ho had crowd tho ocean and Uie arrest
of two women for smuggling
The irrticle went on to *ay that a
Mrs. Wothoroll and her daughter had
ootne over on the steamer, the mother ,
beeping her saleroom during the roy
age. They had come ashore together, i
and the customs officers noticing a '
disproportion bet ween their thin faces
and thofr rotund c>rporo?lt io? had or
derod that they he searched Ton thou
sand dollars' worth of eipenslve laces
bad l?een found wound aronnd each of '
them Mrs. WelhereM, who was a i
very thin woman, had kept oat of sight j
during the voyage In order that bor
rotundity on leaving the steamer
sbonld not attract attentl?j.
Tho article wont on to state lhat the
ladles were rich and eminently re
spectable. A l??nd had been given by
the husband and father for their ap- ;
poarance In court to answer a charge !
of smuggling, arid the accused had been
released
"I told yon so," said Rnnnlou to
hlmsolf "Pool! Why did yon go Nek
on what row have known for twenty
years?"
lie road the article again, noticing
that the sor-lal position of tho ladles
was excollrnt Then It occurred to
him that the iflrl to whom he had
prop-sod and her mother had b?t fol
lowed a natnral law. Tbey had dono
that which the world dnes not consider
a sin that Is. when one la not caught 1
Wonld It bo tho part of a trne man to
go back on his proposition?
The manllnwa In hltn eonqoerrd 1
The same evening he appeared at the
address that had been jrlren blm and
asked for Mlsa Wetherell. She came :
down beaming.
"I knew yon would come," she said
"Ton hare see>n how mother and I :
were ea light F
"Tea."
"And ron are Dot frightened away f
"No."
"Isn't It awfnIT We may hare to go
10 prison "
"I hope not."
Her figure wai again willowy.
Nunnlon left the honso engaged. Re
turning to hla room he mentally re
rlewed his past matrimonial rlewa.
"TTere 1 am." he aald to htmaelf,
"engaged to one who has deceived me
and, having bn>lw?n the law* of her
country, la llabl* to go to Jail. Never
theless there la something about It all
that I like. I hare no desire to gn
back to my cotnmon serroo Neither
will | go back on this girl, and I
don't wish to g<? back on her. I shall .
delight In sharing the burden she has
foolishly brought npon herself."
In short. Runnlon had fallen tn lot*
and his reason had fontaken him.
