II was week after the accident that
Lance and Oriella came TO an under
standing with each other that estab-
lished friendship between them. He
found Miss Gladmyr q delightful reader,
but, for reasons best known to himself,
he hated TO let her read to him half as
long or as often as would have been
agreeable to him. Oriella saw this, and
frankly told him Of 1t.
"You are very silly not to make the
most of any generous impulses l may
have,n she exclaimed, lightly. 81 am
not often given to benevolent acts. AS
for my falling in love with you-if that
is what you fear-why, set your mind
entirely at rest. You're not at all a
well-looking man, according to my
standard Of masculine beauty, and
Maude tells me that you are not--well.
what ] call rich, and except that you
dance divinely, and have the manners
of gentleman, and-just now-several
broken bones, there's nothing interest
ing about YOU that any young woman
should fall in love with you"
"Thank you, Miss Gladmyr," laughed
Lance when she had ended her gay little
mocking speech, /" for being kind at all
to SO uninteresting an old fellow as my
self"
"Not at ALL You know it is awful
for Maude to have you on her hands in
this way, and decency compels me to
help her care for you in ANY way can.
l cannot do much, but nearly every one
likes to hear me read, and since you en-

money by the hundreds of thousands"
"Indeed! Do you tell me that for

"Oh, no." retorted Oriella, nom
chalantly. az know there is not the
slightest danger of such a thing. You
need no warnings. You dislike me too
much"
"On the contrary, do not dislike
you, Miss Gladmyr; but l do not ap-
prove of YOU"
"It's all the same thing. Your ideal
woman is sweet, shy, clinging, con-
ventional little creature, who has never
been tested in the crucible of the world s
fires. l am-oh, almost everything
your idoal woman should not ben
Lance laughed again. They were
nearer being friends than ever before.
"And now that you have painted my
'ideal woman would you mind depict

"Oh, he is tall, real tall and slender,
with piercing eyes and white hair and
beard, and an enormous bank ac'

vails," said Lance, with slight sarcasm.
Oriella opened her beautiful big eyes
very wide.
