Mrs. RIDERS RuSe

T ISN'T as if she were not pref
ty,' Mrs. Ryder protested, with
IA mournful shake of her curly red
head. "She is pretty-distractin
so. And yet that foolish boy re-
fuses to fall in with any of my plans
concerning her"
Joe Ryder, striking a match on the
post of the veranda. looked down on
his wife with eyes full of quiet
amusement.
You forget Nigel has never seen
Miss Leland. Winifred."
what difference? / have told him
Lyndith is pretty, and rich. and de-
lightfully sweet-tempered. and"
'Lyndith!" Joe Ryder paused with
the lit match suspended an inch from
his cigar. II thought it was the 9th
er one-Marie-you had in your eye
for that brother of yours"
Mrs. Ryder clasped her hands with
"a little gesture of evaporation.
NO! You stupid boy! Isn't Marie
engaged to Tom Shuttler?"
rs she? l didn't know"
He struck another match, lit his
cigar and smoked on complacently.
Its too bad" declared Mrs. Ryder,
industriously stitching a ruffle in the
neck of Dollie's school dress. THAT
Nigel, won't listen to me. Here he
is for rushing off to Colorado again,
and the chances are he will 60 be-
6 fore the girls arrive to pay me that
visit. OF all the contrary men that
ever lived, Nigel is the worst! If it
were not the most desirable thing in
the world that he should cease his
rowing life, marry Lyndith and settle
down near us he would do ii in an in
slant"
.'He must" laughed Ryder, "be a
cousin to Mistress Mary, who was
quite contrairy.'"
A queer flash came into Mrs. Ryder's
expressive little face. She looked up
joe" she said, quickly, 81 believe
you've struck it! Nigel is, as you
say, contrary and is generally
prompt to do the exact reverse OF
that which one wishes. So I've
thought-just this minute-of a plan
"a splendid plan"
She quite forgot the ruffle. Her
hands lay idle in her lap. He looked
down on her. leniently.
You have, dear? What is it?"
But she only responded oracularly:
~ Wait and see"
One week later her plan was plain
to him.
At breakfast that morning Mrs
Ryder said to her brother, a stall
