for a minute or two that + was her grand
father. So she took my advice; an it seemed
to do her q sight O. good"
What advice did you give her?' asked
Phil
"Wait till you're my age; taen you'll under
stand"
81 don't see" said Phil, after moment or
two OF silence, that things are much better
than they were. Perhaps she's not engaged;
but that fellow Marge is hanging about her
all the time. From what I've heard people
remark, he's been paying attention to her for
year or two When the family were at our
house last summer he was the only man she
talked about. I'm pretty sure, too, from
what I've seen, that her mother favors him.
So, putting everything together, and think
ing about it a good deal, as I've had TO do in
spite of myself since I've been up home, I've
made up my mind that it's a foregone con-
clusion"
80 you're goin' to flop like a stuck pig an
let it go on, are you! just because you've
thought somethin' you're goin, to do nothin'
If I'd thought that of you don't b'lieve I'd
have brought you down here to be a business
man in the city. A fellow that hain't got
the grit to hight for q gal that he wants is
likely to make a mighty poor fist of it fightin'
for fortune No, sir; you're not goin' to
knuckle under while you've got father to
egg you on. l don't say she's in'ey'ry way
the gal I'd have picked out for you, but any
gal that'll live up to the best that's in her is
good enough for any man alive. If you care
as much for her as you thought you did
when met you in the street that day, that
gal is the one for you to tie to, unless she
breaks the rope. A man sometimes gets a
bad ickin' in a love fight, an a. powerful big
scar besides, but both together don't do him
as much harm as backin' ouS an playin'
coward"
''I'm not coward, father" protested Phil,
and his eyes flashed as ii he meant it.
You don't mean to be, my boy" said the
old man, with a pat on his sons shoulder,
but ev'rythin' in this affair is new to you,
an you're in the dark about some things that
mebbe look bigger than they are. That sort
of thing'u make towards out Of the best of
men, if they give in to it; that's the reason
Pm cracllin' the whip at you"
81 wonder what Mr.. Tramlay wants of
me" said Phil, a moment later.
"Reckon you'd better go down and find
out, the old man replied.

es Sne knew; puJ wnaJ sne Gld very distinctly
understand was that NO one, not even her
mother, would again have occasion to speak
of Phil as poor man, or even country
man. Some young men who were accounted
great catches were only secretaries and even
assistant secretaries of one thing or other:
she knew it, because she had seen their names
in dividend notices and other advertisements
in newspapers. How would the change in
his fortunes affect her mother, she wondered.
Mrs Tramlay certainly was more affahle to
tho young man than she ever had been be-
fore, and after dinner she even took Pills
arm in returning to the parlor; the act signi-
fed nothing 70 Phil, but it set Lucia's little
heart dancing gayiy.
When Phil departed, soon after dinner, to
accompany his father, by request, 70 a meet
ing of the Society for the Aulelioration of
the Spiritual Condition of Savage Tribes"
Lucia lost very little time in signaling Margie
with her eyes and going up to her room A
moment later Margie bounced in, closed the
door, and exclaimed:
"Lucia TramlayI l wouldn't have be-
heved it if hadn't seen 1t with my own eyes.

"When there was no call for her to take
any ones arm" added Lucia, 1.-The affair be-
ing only an every day family dinner"
Twas simply paralyzing," said Margie;
"but it was a sign that everything will be all
right from this time forward Dear mel
can imagine just how your new visiting cards
viii look: Mrs Philip Hayn.'"
''Margie. Margie," said Lncia, IN a quick
whisper, ''do be quiet. 1 don't even know
whether he really loves me"
THAT'S because yea didn't sit at table
where you see his face all the while, as did
Besides, a stone image would fan in Love with
you tonight you never looked so perfectly

So, between all she had seen and heard,

dreams long before it pressed its pillow

for a basis: her mother, with palate which
has been i'll training for half a century, will
get truer enjoyment ont of a neighbours loaf
of home made cake than the girl can find in

Farmer Hayn was old and weary: he was
alone irShis rambles about the metropolis,
and he kept close guard on his pocketbook;
but no country youth who ever hurried tc
the city to squander his patrimony could
have had so good time. he saw everything
that the local guide books called attention TO,
and so much else which was interesting that
Tramlay, whom he had occasion to see for a
few minutes each day, said one morning at
the breakfast table:
Il wish, my dear, that could steal week
or two from business, SO that you and could
poke about New York, personally conducted
by that old farmer"

"There's nothing queer about facts, my
dear" replied Tramlay, Except that they
