up a bowling recognition, to be later

about her, for he had a social posi-

The girl ahead had paused. She
was evidently in some predicament.
For she stopped as though to extricate

boxes, bore down upon her, and at the
shout of the driver, who was Striv-

ENDERBY'S WAY
Rv Sidnev IT. Cole

Copyright, 1904, by T. c. McClure.)
Ut was eminently characteristic Of
Enderby. He had known Miss Car
michael scarcely three months, but
- 10 Enderby's mind time was not
always measured by the clock
They were walking homeward from
the opera. Miss Carmichael had in
sisted that they walk; il was a perfect
night and the distance home was short
When they entered the quiet street
where Miss Carmichael lived Enderby
fell into a brown study. The girl be-
side him was talking in sprightly fash
ion Of nibelungs and Rhinemaidens, all
Of which was lost to Enderby's ears
They had reached the substantial Car
michael residence, when Enderby came
suddenly from his reticent silence-so
suddenly, indeed, that he interrupted
the girl in the middle Of a sentence.
Look here" said he. I'm a pretty
steady-going sort. I've a fair income
and a steadily growing clientage. I
want an establishment Of my own.
Why wouldn't it be a good idea for US
20 marry?"
Miss Carmichael was so thoroughly
astounded that she found no reply un-

Enderby was struggling with the latch
key.
Good gracious" was all she man

Il mean it," said Enderby Think
it over If you like. / don't necessarily
expect my answer right now
Good night, Mr.. Enderby." she said
rather coolly, and the door swung shut
behind her.
Enderby strode down the street to-
ward the club with never a qualm in
his mind and never a tremor beneath
his immaculate shirt front; but that
was Enderby's way.
After that he saw Miss Carmichael
as usual. and for several weeks made
no allusion to the matter. At first
the girl was furtively uneasy in his
presence. but as the weeks went by
and he said nothing more. she evil

Have you thought it over?" said
he.
Now this question was entirely ir-
relevant to the talk of the moment.
Have 1 thought what over?" Miss
Carmichael asked.
Marrying me?" said Enderby terse-
ly. I'm a very practical man-not
romantic and that sort of thing, you
know. Still. 1 fiatter myself I'd make
a fairly good husband. You'd have a
house and servants very much like this
establishment here"
Miss CarmichaeTs eyes opened
wide. Was ever a girl wooed in such
cold-blooded fashion, she wondered.
She spoke calmly, yet her voice was
not as firm as she intended
Mr.. Enderby, 1 thoroughly respect
you. but as for marrying you"
She paused and Enderby went on.
Perhaps you want to think it over
a little longer. That will be all right
I'm not one of the impatient sort
Goodnight"
He slipped on his overcoat, took his
hat and stick. and departed leaving :::.e
girl divided between amazement and
wrath.
Spring was well advanced before En-
derby broached the subject again. It
was one evening just as he was about
to depart from the Carmichaels, and it
was with the usual abruptness.
Have you decided to marry me
YETI" said he.
Miss Carmichael looked at him
steadily, and this time her voice was
very firm.
mo, Mr.. Enderby, / have not; nor
do think ! ever shall decide to mar
ry you.'
That's all right" said he.
At the door he turned
IF you should change your mind let
me know"
To this day Miss Carmichael is un-
decided whether the tears she shed
were Of mirth or of anger. She felt
certain this was the end of it; but En-
derby came as heretofore to take her
driving, or to the theater, or to YES
pers on pleasant Sunday. His man
ner was quite unchanged; it was as If
nothing whatever had happened
summer came, and the Carmichaels
left the city for their pretty country
place in quiet village. Every sec
ond Saturday Enderby came down to

tf@HE royal house of Rurutania
demands your aid and protec-
tion. 1 must speak to you at
once. Be cautious"
Malcolm Morgan read the
note a second time, then glanced Curl
ously at the little woman across the
aisle There was nothing about her to
suggest the fantastic. She was just
dainty little old lady. scarcely five feet
tall, with whom Father Time had dealt
gently. Now she was watching him in
a f1utter of expectation. Surely there
was something odd, but-Morgan
crossed the aisle.
How can l serve you?" he asked,
as he dropped into the seat beside
her
She gave a tiny cry of delight. Il
knew 1 could not be wrong" she said,
glancing apprehensively about the car.
Il knew you were from Rurutania- L
am-sh-" she lowered her voice,
Ethel Princess of the Royal House.
Morgan gave a start. Here was
little woman who claimed connection
with a royal family of fiction, yet gave
no indication of the insanity proven
by her words She accepted the start
as a tribute to her revelation.
II do not wonder that you start,
she said complacently. You must be
familiar with Rurutania news and

dine with them. The portly head of
the house of Carmichael entertained
a genuine and outspoken liking for the
reserved young man, and Mrs. Car
michael was voluble in his praises.
Miss Carmichael said nothing, but
she recognized some potent fascina-
tion about this strange, reticent man
and his stranger method of wooing.
Sometimes il amused her; sometimes
it angered her; and yet his plain words
and his frank strength appealed to her
more strongly than she cared to ad-
NIT. What manner of man was this,
she asked herself countless times; and
each time a definite answer was want
ing.
That Saturday afternoon Miss Car
michael was alone in the house. At
o'clock a tree agent came to the
door, and by persistent efforts to sell
his goods was making himself very
obnoxious. At this juncture Ender-
by came UP the walk. He heard the
voices in the hall and took in the
situation at a glance. He laid hand
none too gently on the agents shoul-
der.
You're annoying the lady" said
Enderby severely.
"Is that any of your business ?"
said the man, with heated insolence.
None at ALL" said Enderby cheer
fully Whereupon he took the man
by the collar, marched him to the
porch and helped his undignified re-
treat to the gravel walk.
The agent rose from the gravel,
sputtering profane invective. Ender-
by started down the steps.
Haven't had enough, eh?" said he,
and something in his tone and ex
preston forced upon the irate agents
understanding a realization Of the bet
ter part of valor. He fled the field in
inglorious haste. Enderby returned
to the hall.
"Oh!" said Miss Carmichael in tones
of relief. "he was positively insulting.
I'm so glad you came"
That's all right" said Enderby.
And then-perhaps something in
her voice suggested the course-En-
derby tempted fate once more.
Going to marry me?" he said.
Miss Carmichael laughed hysteric-
ally.
'Of course I am. you funny man, I"
she said. How on earth can / help
myself?"
Enderby looked puzzled.
You're quite sure you want to ?"
he asked doubtfully.
Very, very sure, dear" said Miss
Carmichael gravely.
Good. Good enough," said En-
derby with hearty satisfaction. 1t was
Enderby's way.
