claimed no part of her attention. Ike
was SO charmed with the picture that he
was in no hurry to make her aware of
his presence At last he gave an "Ahem!"
Minnie turned quickly around.
Il propose to move Immediately on
your works." called Ike in as awful tones
as he could command.
The girl could see her enemys colors
in the shape Of a red head protruding
above the dog kennel and two eyes look

a surprised and panic stricken enemy.
There was little scream and evidently
much trepidation.

Still silence.
Your only move in retreat is between
the arbor and this dog kennel. and I'll
take you in flank if you try it.

view of the situation, Ike went on:

court if you'll go and sit with me in the

There was spasmodic wringing of
hands

of the guard and take you in for trial?'
Minnie placed her right hand convul-
sively on her heart

This was too much for Minnie. Gath
ering her skirts she made a dash for the
space between the arbor and the dog
kennel Ike was there to meet her. She
rushed right into his arms.
LET me go!" she cried fiercely.
Not without a parley." replied the
