err, It's been horribly dull--this beast
ly desert.
Miss Hill protested. IT'S not a
beastly desert"
1t isn't now" he admitted. Which
she ignored, and went on:
IT'S very beautiful and.grand if you
only understand it. l dare say you
were not brought up on it?"
Il wasn't, thank heaven!"

be used to it from the very beginning
to love it,
Harrington began to feel that it was
anything but creditable not to love it.
He defended himself. New England
gave me birth. And I still prefer the
lilac to the mesquite bush It's all a
matter of education, of course"
"Of course" she agreed. Tell me
about the Presidio."
He told her about ii with the zest
for word painting which California
fosters, and left her with the belief
that she was about to enter paradise
on earth
you play golI, of course?"
1t is the question that must come
sooner or .ater She answered that
she did not; and Harrington was glad
because now he could teach her, and
life would be all one beautiful
driving little white balls across green
slopes and fields of fieur-de-lis, with
blue sky overhead and sapphire sea
beyond. 1t was eternal spring in Har-
rington's heart just now, so he over
looked the detail that fieur-de-lis don't
bloom in August.
Outside of Section was stuffy
sleeper where sat scandalized man
and woman, whispering and casting
looks; and beyond that was a gleam-
ing desert, where the thermometer
would have registered incredible
things But in Section all was
charming. The crunch of feet on the
cinders, the tingle of the hammer on
the hot box, the murmur of mems
voices, came family to it.
How long shall we stop here?" Miss
Hill asked
Harrington did not know, and said
so. Neither did he care; but he kept
that to himself. He liked southern
Arizona Then Miss Hill wanted 20
know, Where are WEI"
THE question is the answer" he
told her She looked upzzled do
you understand SPANISH" She re-
membered some from the days of Mex
lean nurses and citizen packers. There
had been a time when il was her most
fluent speech. We'll, then, the name
of this garden spot is Adonde-at least,
within half a mile of it."
THAT means where" she said
isn't it jolly well named? The
plains are such forcible reminders of
the eternal uD-get-at-ableness OF things
in general"
Miss Hill was resentful. Il dare sa,
| hey are not all measured off by human
loot rules like New England. But
they are lovely. ] am quite sure /
shall not like the Preside links half
so we'll"
This was dangerous. Harrington
launched off upon the delights OF golf.
The conductor called "All aboard" and
feet hurried along the cinder bed. But
the train was going thirty miles an
hour before they really realized it had
/ started; and they were at Yuma and
had twenty-five minutes in which to
eat dinner before they were aware that
they had passed Adonde. Adonde. in
deed 1t was already only too plain
where and whittier.
1t was palmer still by the time they
crossed on the ferry. Major Hill cav
