Mrs McKants was much shocked at
her daughters escapade and wondered
what they could do about it. II would

The question was to find the owner. Mar
jory had not seen her benefactor's face
all she could recall was his back-and
/ there was little chance Of her ever meet
ing him again. On examining the UNI
brella they found the initials j. w" en-
gravel on the handle.
AS her only expedient, Mrs. McKants
suggested putting a notice in the news
papers, "Found-An umbrella etc, but
Ai2rjory argued that the owner would
never consider his umbrella lost in that
sense. Mrs. McKants persuaded her to
write personal, but nothing came Of IT,
and Marjory had TO put the umbrella
away
About month later Marjory. received
note from her Aunt Minerva She and
Cousin Alice were returning from the

she had half mind not to accept the
invitation.

Frank writes that his college chuno. John
Wakem. is here, and he wishes to call on
US. AS our train leaves early in the af-
ternoon, we must manage to visit him at
the same time. I hope you will not stay
away on this account"
So they were afraid one Of their fine
friends would nonplus her. She would
go at all hazards.
It was really a delightful little party.

he was going out Of the door Marjory
looked at him with a start She had
not forgotten the circumstances under
which she had seen that back. the same
overcoat and hat. No, she could not be
mistaken. At last she was sure Of the
owner Of the umbrella. She wanted 70
hasten after him; but she could not make
a scene before her aunt She wondered

AN UMBRELLA EPISODE.

Whir-r-r, Marjoriy was sure that there
had never been such disagreeable wealth
er in March. It was raining, half sIeet,
! ana the wind sDlew so that she could
scarcely walk.
i ought TO have had sense enough to
wear my old gray jacket and that fright
/ tul walking hat when 1 saw how enchant-
ING the elements were this morning, but
/ l just could not help dressing up for
Aunt Minerva and Cousin Alice They
think that just because we can't do as
many things as we used that we are

would like 70 see you before leaving So
that's all the time they can spare their
own relative. Well. I don't care, I'm
sure. That was d good luncheon, any
way, and II braced me up for this long
afternoon of shopping"
Marjory surveyed her numerous bun
dies
-, nat would Aunt Minerva think If she
could see her niece endeavoring to battle
. wind and rain, afOOt, with ali these pack
ages, too. I simply had TO have them TO-
night though, and there was nothing
for it but TO be my own delivery boy"
MarJory tried to smile, but she was
really painfully aware Of the bedraggled
appearance she must present. Loaded
down with bundles, * was all she could
DO 10 hold her umbrella over her large
hat and keep her skirt out Of the mud
which insisted upon wrapping against her
ankles in most uncomfortable manner
The wind was Slowing more wildly ev-
cry moment. and Marjory rallied all her
strength to cross the Masonic Temple cor
ner. Biff! went the wind and rip, snap
and Marjorys umbrella was turned
wrong side out and torn into ribbons
What was she to do? She had on her
best dress and hat, and If they were ru-

was slim. She was about to make for
the entrance to the building and there
consider the pros and cons OF her situa-
ton. when a mans large umbrella was
thrust into her hand, apparently from
the wind itself She looked up just in
time TO see a tall, well dressed man van
ish around the corner. MaTJory knew at
once that it was he who had put the
umbrella into her hand-how, she did not
know. OF course. she couldn't let herself
take a strangers shelter that way, so
only to find that he was nowhere in
sight.
If Marjory had any decided trait it was
that she was philosophical Her benefac-
tor was gone; there was no way of get

and making a spectacle of herself for the |
benefit of the passers-by. So she hoisted (
