I began to walk homeward briskly. My wet
clothes were uncomfortable, but as yet I was
not cold. Like Claude. I had been astonisned,
and not q little alarmed, by the evident deli
cacy Of my whilom companion. If I had not
reached the boat when I did, I fancied he might

not gone to his legs.
Mr.. ST. John was tall and slender. small
featured with pale blue eyes, and fair hair
which curled closely about very white fore
head. AS ne smiled down upon me he showed a
row of very perfect teeth. but his smile was
disagreeable because of the scantiness Of the
upper lip which disclosed much of it's lining as
it drew back. Transforming the smile into a
sneer.

he said in well modulated tones for risking
your valuable life to save my worthless one? I

squeezed my hand very hard and gazed tenderly
into my eyes. 1 remembered the whiskey and
made allowances. From the door of the dining
room came a discreet cough, betraying the
presence of my self-elected chaperon II

tinued; but I cut him short by asking him to
stay to breakfast. This he declined with effu-

venture. I hope to keep the affair secret
from him. for he is old. Miss Dean'-with a
look expressive of tender consideration for the
aged-'and I should hate TO have him upset one
upset being enough in a family. don't you
think?'
Again remembering the whskey. I begged him
to eat something before he left. The idea of so
much liquor without food was appalling
"Raffarty gave me glass of milk with a
teaspoonful of whiskey in it, Miss Dean, to keep
off cold, so I really don't need anything more.
Erranti and I are great chu1ns Miss Dean, and
neighbors into the bargain so I'll hope to see
you often-when I'm not so deadly dull as am

This is an action for the alleged
non delivery of certain carloads OF
wood, according to a contract set up
by the plaintiff and denied in the de-
PENDANTS answer. A certain writing
signed by the defendants agent was
introduced to show that the charge for
the hauling of the freight was $55 Tor
traiy of 10 cars for a day of ten
hours, with additional charge of $l.25
per car every hour in excess Of ten.
This writing contained no stipulations

that the defendant Culp (being the de-
fendant company's agenD had agreed
to deliver without exacting such pay

sum sufficient to pay for the use or
