It was the annual festival of the i
\rt Students' league, given to ralne '
funds fot the purchas'' ot pri/cs ioi 1
the coming studyuts' . xliil.itlon
Lillian was there and Lillian was
lonely. She was shy. with h> i sweot '<
country win* and although she adored
art, and was an Ideal siudei.i, not
yet was she aide to throw aside her
reserve and mingle with the gay, j
r. relcss students on terms of inflow
ship.
1'o-niKht Lillian was ruor than lone
ly. She was a little sad She would
not have acknowledged It for the
world—not even to her own shy
heart—but she had expected to see
Mercier at the festival. Perhaps
that was the real reason that had
caused her in brave the throng and .
submit herself to the laughing custody
of her aunt and come in fancy dress
to this fantastic and giddy throng— j
to see Mercier.
And now the nit;lit was half gone, i
and she had not seen him Ho was
not there or ho surely would have
sought her out.
Suddenly Lillian's heart ceased to
beat. A nuni11ti• s crept over h« r, and
she gazed with unbelieving eyes at
the couple just now pausing her.
Was that Mcrc!-,r? It was Merg-
er's manly form; ir was Mercier'.-i
strom:. eager, and laughing face, the
beauty of which not even the harle-
quin's garb could disguise.
It must be some man who looked
like him It could not be Mercier,
for this man was with another girl—
a roguish ^entity with laiuhlug eyes. ,
She was clad In the black gown and
the white collar and cap of a sister
of meres this other girl And Mer-
cier—the it.an that looked lil.e Mer-
cier was holding her right hand in
his and his left arm clashed her waist.
He was gazing info her eyes fondly.
Lillian rested her chin on her hand
and gazed at them in a puzzled, pen-
sive way She had recovered from
her lirst panic. It was not Mercier,
of course, else he would have been
at her own side and not at the side
of the other girl. It was strange how
another man could resemble Mercier
so much.
"You cannot refuse, Paula. You
must not say no. Such a love Is not
to be east aside lightly. It only comes
once in a lifetime"
That was what she heard the man
say to ihe laughing girl at his side
And it was Mercier's voice. She could
doubt no longer The deep tender
tones wi re not to be mistaken
Perhaps Lillian only sighed Per-
haps sin uttered a little cry.
"Let us go home I am so tired,"
she said to her aun< a mlnuto later,
aiid the woman looked at the girls
white face, from which all the joy
of life had (led. and wondered what
had happen.>d
The next day hi came, as he had
promised to come They told her he
was in the drawing room.
She dried the tears from her eyes
and rouged her cheekF so that the
faithless man could not know that
-he bad pa « d a sl pless night and
slowly dose-ended the stairs.
"Lillian " he cried ind came toward
her with outstretched hands
"Did you bring thai drawing for my
inspection .'" she asked, coldly, as he
sank Into a chair, ignoring his ):es- 1
lure, refusing to meet his eyes
"Yes," he said turning away. "I
brought the drawing, but I have not
been alih i finish P. I havo been
so busy. I have had a love affair on
niv hands.'
lie laughed nervously, and Lillian
bit her pale lips to kc -p from crying
"O, a love affair?" she managed
to say at last.
"Yes -Walter's. He and Agatha !
have quarreled. You saw her lust
night."
"Perhaps." she said, wearily What
did she care about Walter's love af-
fair? Walter was Mercier's friend
They lived together. But what did
she care even for Mercier's friend,
now? What did she care for any-
thing?
"The girl In black—the one 1 was
with," lie explained. "I made her
promise to see him to-day. Anil as
soon as I could leave her I came bnck
to find you and you were gone. You
don't know how deserted the place
seemed without you. Lillian "
Ho looked at her with tender re
proach, and for the first time she stole
a glance at him She could read notli
iug but truth and devotion In his eyes.
\ great happiness surged through her
whole bring She understood, now
"I didn't know but what you might .
have been a little Jea.ous," ho said I
teaslDgly.
"O, no, I was not jealous," she said j
"The Idea of my being Jealous!" She
laughed happily

admitted, softly.

don't care lor me If—" ho caun J

one of her hands between both ol ,

She said nothing, hut she looked al
him, and lipr eyes were full of glar

toward him.

SICK KftMGHE
The Pille Have Cured the Disease la
Almost Every Form end Even In
Advanced Stages.
Rheumatism is n painful inflamma-
tion of tho muscles or of the coverings
of the joints and is some times accom-
panied by swelling. The pain is sharp
and shooting und does not coiillne itself
to auy oue part of I he body, but after
settling in oue joiut or muscle for t
time, leaves it ami ]nih ch on to another.
The most dangerous tendency of the
disease is to attack the heart. External
applications may glvo relief from purn
for n time but the disease cannot be
cured until the blood is purified. Dr.
Williams' Pink Pills are the best medi-
cine for this pur|*>se as their action is
directly on the blood, making it rich,
red und healthy. When the blood us
pure there can be no rheumatism.
