HE MADE FAIRLY GOOD HEADWAY
law firm in Boston, and had a hard
afternoon of work before him. There
was a brief in a case that had puzzled
both himself and his partner. But try
as he would to concentrate his mind on
his work, he could see nothing but the
beautiful face at the car window and
hear nothing but the droning of the car
wheels.
At last he became so nervous that he
threw down his pen, and, telling the
boy he would not be back till morning.
he walked up across the common and
the public garden to his home.
The evening at the theater did not
help him, and he was rather horror
struck to find himself no better in the
morning. This was new experience
for him. No woman had ever before
come between him and his work. This
was silly. He never saw the girl before
and he never would see her again, of
course. He must have dyspepsia.
So on his way to his Office he made a
call on his old college chum, now a
promising young physician. He did not
tell the doctor what the most promi-
nent symptom was, but was sure he
needed medicine for dyspepsia. Ae-
cordingly he felt rather foolish when
he was obliged to say no to all the doc
tors questions as to whether he had
certain symptoms inseparable from
gastric trouble.
The doctor laughed and gave him
some harmless powder and he went to
the Office strong in his resolve to finish
the brief. He made fairly good head
way, but still the image of the beauti-
full girl would come back to him, and
as the day wore on, more distinctly.
Late in the afternoon he got a telegram
saying the party was at Chicago and
signed "Alice." And that started it all
over again.
Then he found himself with an al
most resistless longing to take the first
train and follow his folks. OF course
he did not admit to himself that he
wanted to see the other Alice.
That afternoon one of the firms best
clients came in. He said he contem-
plated purchasing some thousand acres
in Mexico with the idea of establishing
a coffee plantation there. He was not
satisfied with the title to the land, and
felt that some one ought to go down
there and look into the matter more
closely. He could not spare the time
and came to them, thinking that pos
