Will stared with amazement at this
unexpected offer. but slapped Richard
heartily on the back.
"Will You really. thoughp You're an

I wonder why men always use the
word ''old" as a term of endearment

Dorothy arrived a day or two before

charming than her picture. and we
were all delighted with her.

That afternoon came o letter, lot from

arabic from childhood, and the latter
was an old friend of mine also.
We did not know Miss Rhoades, but
Richard assured us we could not fail to
like her, and Will said his opinion was
to be considered, for of course it was
quite impartial.
To tell the truth, on meeting Miss
Rhoades we did not share Richards en-
thusiasm. She had a reserved
and was not particularly pleasing in
any way, And she did not seem sufi-
GENTLY in love with Richard to suit me.
Indeed | went so far as to say that l
did not believe she cared for him at all
I had to admit that She was fine look
ing, though not handsome, and she was
older than Richard. lie capfided to
Will that he was past the age to be at
tracted simply by a pretty face, and he
had no fancy for girls in their teens
Richard was 2s.
Our worst fears were soon realized.
One night my betrothed did not come
to see me, which surprised me much,
for 1t was important | should consult
with him about the new house.
The next morning l received q tele.
gram from Will:
Could not come last night, Richard In
trouble. Engagement broken.
It was two OF three days before l Jaw
Will, and then he came in at noon for
q hurried call. He looked worn and
harassed, but patiently replied to the
countless questions l asked in regard to
Richards affair. 1t seemed that Miss
Rhoades had been mistaken in the M.
ture Of her regard for him, as she ex.
pressed it. In other words, she had not
really cared for him, but tried to do so,
urged by her family and tempted by
his wealth. Will thought there was an.
other lover in the background. but
Richard did not suspect it. The poor
fellow was n complete wreck, and for
the next few days Will was constantly
with his distracted friend and had no
time to give to me. When he did come,
1t was to say that he had prevailed upon
Richard to go away for awhile, the lat
ter c%onsenting on condition that Will
would accompany him.
