Itfliefe Two
Paths Met.
Dy INA WRIGHT HANSON.
Copyrighted 1007. by Mnry MeKoon.
In the birch blossom pntli I saw her
first and my mind was full of annoy-
nnco because my sister who kept my
house should Invito n girl to visit her
nnd then Insist thnt It wns my" duty to
help onte.rlnlu her. I would do noMi-1
Ing of the sort I wns thinking vm?n n
turn In tuo white blossomed pnthWiiy
brought hof to my view
She wns slender nnd lind n great
mum of brownish yellow hnlr plrfticd
up with gold pins one of which glow-
ed snrdonlcnlly nt me with Its topdz
eye. While I wns wondering why she
didn't comb nor hair smoothly sho
turned nnd her eyes of a wonderful
vivid blue seemed to look down Into
my very soul.
'Stand perfectly still Mr. Angovo
nnd shut your eyes. Is there anything
so sweet In this wide world as a birch
pnth In sprlngtlmc7 Don't open thbm(
Mr. Angove. I want you to gut the
fragrance uninterrupted by any other
sense."
Why I should have stood Uiere with
my foolish eyes shut tight I don't
know but I did uutll sho gave me
permission Tn Jool: at tho white feath-
ery sprays and at her. Then ipilte so
clably we strolled the rest of the way
together. I Iwgan to feel Interested In
knowing what she would say when we
came to tho cud of the path and she
saw
"Why I don't kuow your name" I
said abruptly.
"At flrst you aro going to address
me as Miss Brltlnnd" she rripllc'd
promptly. "Afterward you will say
Frances and at the end you will call
mo Caprice."
"Why In the world should I call you
Caprlce7" I asked.
"I don't kuow" sho said. "Don't you
ever say things Just as If somebody
Inside of you were saying them with
your own tongue?"
My reply to this amazing question
was hindered by the ending of the
birch hushes. We stood facing a little
pagoda of white marble. I looked at
the girl. Her hands wore tensely
claspfd: her red lips were quivering.
"It's like walking down the pathway
of love and suddenly coming to the
very temple of love Itself:" she ex-
claimed. I frowned. Why should my sister
prattle to strangers of our ancestors'
conceptions? She seemed to divine m.
thoughts.
"Why do you look at me like that?
What Is It? What docs It mean?"
I Bbowed her the inscription on the
worn threshold "Temple of I.ovo"-
and with a sudden swift grace she
knelt above the lettering. Then she
spraug up. "Come Mr. Angove" she
cried gayly; "I will run you a race!"
So back along the birch lined path
we ran like two children and only my
sister's amused smile at the end of the
race reminded me of my forgotten dig-
nity. I spent the rest of the day
among my hooks and alone.
Next morning Miss Urltlaud and I
selected a walk opposite the birch path.
This was a straight path through an
avenue of stately pines. Yesterday the
girl had been fanciful or merry; this
day she was neither. Sho walked se-
dately by me talking quite learnedly
of the future of radium. I began to see
why I might some time call her Ca-
price. "This Is the path of the plnea" 1
said when we bad exhausted radium.
"We should have taken this one urst
for It leads straight and true ns tho
compass needle to the temple while
the birch path meanders foolishly this
way and that and makes one many un-
necessary steps to reach the same
placp."
"One welcomes unnecessary steps
when one walks with the spirit of tho
woods" sho answered. "Anyway you
should not have told me that this path
leads to tiie same place. It would
have been nicer for mo to discover It
for myself."
"So It would." I answered humbly.
"How shall I atone?"
"By telling mo of yourself" sho re-
plied. "There Isn't much to tell" I said
feeling pleased at her Interest. We sat
In the pagoda and for mo nt least It
wbb tho temple of love. Let he who
will prato of long growlug affection.
To mo love came us tho sun rises sud-
denly over tliu mountain.
I told her of my life us a boy lu col-
lege as a niuu In tho business world
till this estate came to me neglected
and long uninhabited.
Anothor day I told her about the
temple how my nncosor had laid out
these paths to typify his love for hU
fair young wlfo and her lovo for him

' pass needle tho other sweet In its shy
deflections but ending Just as surely
at the tcinplo.
"What was tho young wlfo's uamo?"
sho usked.
"I don't know. Ills dlury Is full of
her benuty and sweotness and accom-
plishments but It never mentions hor
name. Ho had his own name for her
Sunbeam Starlight. Heartsease Lovo
like that should not die when the
bodies of tho lovers nro dust."
"How do you kuow that It does?"
sho demauded. "now do you know
hut tholr soula nro living again and
loving Just the- sumo?"

not wnll much longer to tell her so.

"l Im1i that II enuld speak for It
looks xo ory khnlly that Its voice
must needs lie plenontit.' " she quoled.
"It Im mdng to speak." I said turning
suddenly toward her but She volnted
Inughing. li'u iinl the door.
Down the path of the pines came my
Bister eager breathless waving a let-
ter. "A secret drawer In the wall back of
my wardrobe!" she gmped. "And
three nights since sho has been here
has Frances drenmed of finding let-
ters l"
I saw with a curious fcoltng tho
peculiar chlrography of my ancestor.
I read aloud!
"Iook under the threshold of the
temple thou man of my own blood
but think not to appropriate to thyself
what thou shalt find there. They aro
for her whom thou lovest ns I loved
my own Ortprlcc."
"Dig. dig!" exclaimed my sister
dropping on her knees nnd trying to
pry up the step with her bare hands.
"Don't sit there nnd stare nt each oth-
er you two. Lot's And what's here."
It was not a hard lask for time had
loosened the marble stops till they
were easily removed. It was an excit-
ing moment when my sister's eager
hands dragged to view a small Iron
box.
"Open It brother!" she cried.
"Jewels!' cried the sweet excited
voice of my dear girt.
I hae always admired my sister but
never more than at that moment whon
her curiosity must bavo been well nigh
uncontrollable. She cast one swift
look nt us two; then she started up the
pine pnth.
"I know that careless Martha Is let-
ting the bread burn" she railed back
over her dear motherly shoulder
I took a string of diamonds from the
box and put them around my sweet-
heart's neck. An amethyst In Its
quaint sotting I pinned at her white
throat a coronet of pearls I placed on
her golden hair. On her slender trem-
bling lingers 1 put rings rubles dia-
monds emeralds. On her pretty nrms
I hung bracelets of queer design and
then 1 fastened her girdle dull gold
set with a great white opal which
broke Into marvelous colors as my
sweetheart touched It reverently.
When I had finished she looked like a
sweet barbaric princess. I knelt be-
fore her kissing her hnnd.
"All yours my queen." I whispered
"for I love you ns he loved Cnprlcc."
"Maybe I am his Caprice." sho an-
swered dreamily "and maybe you ore
he."
"Tell me that you love inc. dear" I
pleiuled.
She put her flower-like face to mine.
"My flrst thought of you nnd my Inst
nre the same beloved" she answered
"And the thought Is this that you
have a heart for whoso belated wak
lug queens might keep vigil.' "
' Phoenix Park Dublin.
Of all the pleasure grounds we saw
abroad I liked Phoenix park. In Dub-
lin the best says n writer In the
Guidon. It covers nearly 2.000 acres
and the seven mile drive around It Is
delightful.
Acres of It are let to citizens for pas
turage. and herds of fat kine lazily
chewing under the trees or Idly stand-
