Q =Q
"I'd love to jjo. Auut Lily, but you
kuow 1 haven't a decent tlilug to
wear." Mildred looked wistfully at the
Invitation lu her hand.
Miss Weston thoughtfully turned a
worn little ring ou her sllui finger as
she surveyed her pretty uicce.
They looketl very much alike, Miss
Lily alul young Mildred, only the aunt
was slender to thinness and her once
golden hair had faded to ashen blond,
but her eyes were as beautiful and
lonu lashed ai.d full of depth and
sweetness as they had been fifteen
years ago. and her skin was as fair
and her Hps were as red. as Mildred's.
? "The cherk book tells a sorry tale,
dear," she saUl at length, "but perhaps
I can help you out of my magic clothes
press."
"Auut Lily! I can't take anything
more from you. You have given mo
your embroidered muslin and the pluk
Milk? and 1 have worn them out. Don't
tempt me!" The girl covered her ears
and closed her eyes tightly.
"Don't be foolish. Mildred," protest
ed Miss Wesron. "I want you to go to
the Patterson dnuce, and you must
haven new gown. M.v gr^oti tissue can
be altered and will make you a sweet
frock. Come to my room and try It
Oil."
Reluctantly Mildred followed her
aunt to the pretty front room where
the older woman spent much 'of her
time.
The furniture was rather old fash
ioned, but of fine quality, for It had
"I HAVE BEEN VOlhl OOWN UKFOKE, MISS
LANE"
been purchased iu the days before Lily
Weston bad lost most of her fortune.
Miss Weston spread the green gown
on the bed and surveyed It with u
strange yearning In ber eyes. It was
of tine silken tissue lu a tender leaf
green aud embroidered here and there
with a tiny golden tlower.
A pair of green slippers with gold
buckles and green stockings were tuck
ed Ju one corner of the box from which
the gown had been produced.
"It Is lovely. Aunt Lily! I suppose
you have worn It to dances too."
"1 wore It more than once, Mildred,
aud had the happiest times of my life.
Now you must wear it, and I hope
you will, be equally happy." She bent
and kissed the j;Irl tenderly, and Mil- ,
died felt a warm drop on ber cheek, '
but when she looked at her aunt Miss
Weston was smiling.
"Coine." she said blithely, "get your
work basket."
Mildred danced with tireless energy
at the Patterson ball. The green gown
was vastly becomlug to her fair beau
ty. and she had never looked more
charming.
Lester Stearns had succumbed to ber
loveliness and lu the fragrant coolness
of the conservatory he asked Mildred
to marry him. She was radiant with
happiness when Mrs. Patterson ap
proached her, followed by a tall
stranger.
"Mildred, dear, Captain Gray has re
quested an Introduction to 'the girl in
the green gown!" Miss Lane? Captain
Gray! Now, Mr. Stearns, you may
take me Into the supper room.",- With
a little nod she was gone with the re
luctant lover. ?
Mildred looked at her new acquaint
ance. and dcclded at once that she
would Hke him. lie was a man in the
prime of life, with a brown, rugged
face that told of an out of door life.
Strength and kindliness were In his
gray eyes and vigor In Ills large, well
muscled frame.
"I have seen your gown before. Miss |
Lane," said Captain Cray abruptly. i
"You must be mistaken," luughcd I
Mildred. "1 have never worn it until
this evening."
"It was worn by another girl," he
said thoughtfully, "a girl who looked
Just as you do. It la-fifteen years ago
that 1 saw her last, and she wore the
green gown."
"It must have been Aunt Lily," said
Mildred constrainedly.
"It was Lily Weston? then."
"It Is Lily Weston now," said Mil
dred, "aud she Is just as sweet and
lovely now as she ever was. I am
sure!"
"I am sure of that, too." he remark
ed gravely.
"I had no frock to wear tonight, aud
I wanted to come so badly, and Aunt
Lily brought this out of her treasure
chest and fixed it for me. I know It
was the dearest thing she owned, yet
*ho lent it to me."
"She was always unselfish and loyal ,
to the core, and I could never under
stand"? He puused and looked at bet
strangely, wistfully.
"What?" asked Mildred warmly.
She suspected a romance in tho past
of sweet Auut Lily.
"I urn simple sallormau. .Miss
Laue, and I confess to not understand
the ways of womeu. I was a lieuten
ant lu the navy when I met Lily Wes
ton and fell In love with her. We be
came en pa Red and were to be mar
ried. This green gown I brought to her
from China, and she wore It several
times while I was on leave. We bad
a foolish quarrel one night, my last
night ashore. It was a matter of
trifling Jealousy on my part, and be
fore Ihe evculng was over I had seen
my folly. I wrote on a programme
that I was repentant and nsked her to
meet me In a certain cozy nook on the
stairs." He paused and sighed.
"And?" suggested Mildred.
"She was surrounded by admirers,
and as I had no other opportunity I
slipped the programme Into her hand
as we passed each other while danc
ing."
"And then?'
"She never ciync. I waited until
after midnight, and then when I had
seen her depart with her friends I left.
I have never seen her since." Captain
Gray's voice shook a little as be con
cluded his story.
"How utterly ridiculous!" exclaimed
Mildred. "Why, It seems to me If you
truly loved each other you would not
have quarreled, and yet you have
never forgotten Auut LU. and she
why. It Is your picture that Is on her
dressing table? a young officer in a
cap and uniform!"
"You are sure?" The captain bent
over her eagerly!
"Positive. Como and see us tomor
row, Captain Gray. I? am sure she
will be triad to see yon." cried Mildred
Impulsively, holding out her hand.
"Thank you, I will," he said resolute
-ly.
? ? * * ? ?
When she reached home Mildred
flew straight to hor aunt's chamber,
where Mis* Wop ton sat rending and
awaiting the girl's return.
"Aunt Lily," cried Mildred excited
ly, "hare you kept the ball programme
you had the lam nl>:ht you wore this
gown
Miss Weston stared a moment, and
then her eyes grew said and retrospec
tive. "I? believe so, dear." she said at
last, "bUt please do not ask to sco It!"
"I must, auntie. Please show It to
inc." ?
Without a word Miss Weston opened
a small sandalwood box on her dress
ing table, and from It she took a yel
lowed lace handkerchief, a withered
bunch of roses, a little green and gold
fan and lastly a dance card, crumpled
aud faded.
"Here," she said, holding It out In
her hand.
"Look at It, Aunt Lily, and see If
there Is not a message written on It?
a plea for forgiveness by some one yon
cored for long ago." Mildred's voice
quivered with excitement.
Miss Lily rend and grew white.
"What Is It?" she stammered pitifully.
"I don't understand."
Mildred took her 1^ her loviug young
arms and told the srorv, /Rid then and
there Lily Weston laid bare her heart
to the Rlrl. It had been a miserable
mlstakt? she had never read the mes
sage penciled on the programme,' and
she had grieved all the years.
"lie Is coming tomorrow, Aunt Lily,"
whispered Mildred, and then she tip
toed away, radiant In the knowledge
that her aunt had at last attained the
happiness that had lain so long within
her reach, quite unexpc ted.
"It Is Jill due to the green gown,"
whispered Captain Gray to his long
lost sweetheart when lie came the next
day.
v Down In the garden Lester Stearns
was repeatluK his words of love to
Mildred. "I think It was Ore t-> tv->
green gown that I really knew." '..a
murmured tenderly. ,
No Private Interview.
"Could I have u few minutes' private
conversation with you?" he asked as
he stood at the open door of a law
yer's olllee.
"Can't you speak right out from
where you are?" asked the lawyer In
reply after looking tbo man over.
"I'd rather make a private matter
of It."
"What Is the nature of your busi
ness?"
"Confidential ? strictly private and
confidential, sir."
"Well, I have no tlmo to grant you a
private Interview. If you have any
thing to say, you can let her go right
here. Now. what Is It?"
"I? I wanted the loan of a' quarter,
sir," stammered the man.
"Oil. you did! And you wanted a
private Interview to.ask me that?"
"Yes, sir. I knew tlmt would hurt
both our feelings If I were refused In
[ public? yours because you couldn't af
i ford to loan me the money and mine
j because I couldn't get It. Can you
grant my request, sir?"
"No. sir."
"And does It hurt you feelings?"
"Not a bit. You are mistaken on
that point." '
"And my feelings are the only ones
hurt?"
"Yours alone.'.'
"Just so," said the man as he bowed
and backed out. "I beg your pardon.
I was mistaken. You have the money
and no feelings, and I have the feel
lugs and no inouey. Impassable chasm;
no use In trying to bridge. Good day!"

Getting Ready.
