A LOST COUNT,

Daisy WM as prvtty as a Jem c!o«« aad as Sck t« asa March wind—ths brightsat. giddiest girl la our village, yet vlthal wise with a strange fesDlalas . »l»«oin rroltesonM. demure, gay. sertoua. full of Irony, of ey togfithy. of raillery. ot seotlment—she had moods as many as a bumming bird's hues a Thomas loved her and courted her, and so did l.and sodld every other young man who dared lo hope to the least lor her favor And she was Impartial, almost Indiscriminate, with her smiles- Ai Umb passed, however, her choice teemed narrowing, until It i that It was between Thomas and me. He was the more desirable match, being both gifted and well to do. but some thing made me hope, though not without misgivings, that she preferred me. 1 determined to derlmre my heart and know my fnte Many times I sought opportunity to do so, but she avoided my avowal—and so cleverly that l could scarcely be sure she did It purposely How long she would have forestalled me 1 cannot guess, but for a chance that drove me to desperation. Passing her home one bright warm day in May I saw Thomas with her among the flowers They stool dose together and he was speaking rapidly. I thought Intensely, while her eyes were downcast As I drew near she saw me. and. leaving Thomas, ran toward the gate,

calling to me:

“Come In Arthur, and sec my flowers! My pansies are the finest you ever raw!“ Thank you. Daisy! Another time— I'm In a hurry this morning. Good morning. Thomas." "Too bad you cant stop.” s.. _ slated "Thomas and I are having a

lovely time.**

Thomas didn't look H If he passed on with burning heart and when I last saw them he was standing with her at the gate I decided then that I must not lose any further time. The very next morning ! would make my attempt. Would she receive this as she had the avowal of Thomas? Tbs next morning found me with her in the garden with the flowers The surroundings of bright blossom* and mellow sunshine and azure skies and lisping leaves was an ideal on# for a

declaration of love

"Daisy - I said. "I haw long wanted
