The shaded light from the library
lamp fell on her hair bringing out its
golden glints, which refreshed his tired
eyes. He had an hour for recreation
before going uptown to edit the morn
ing edition of a Dig daily paper.
A few years ago she had been his
chum's jolly little sister. Lately he had
discovered she was woman whose
smile was more to him than clubs, the
aters or books.
"You are certainly printing the worst
things In your paper" she burst out
suddenly-'How to Capture Mans
Fancy How to Get Married. How to
Manage a Man. how to do everything
no nice girl would think Of doing"
His boyish Aoot interrupted her.
You dare to pretend you don't man
age men, when you do 1t with such
perfection the poor things never dis
cover the machinery"
The corners Of her mouth turned up,
though her voice was sulky.
We'll, anyway I'm not up In the art
Of getting married, and there are star
Ting exceptions to my management"
The flash from her eyes aroused his
boyish mirth again.
Am | difficult to manager" he asked,
with pleased satisfaction
Impossible" she declared emphatic
ally.
Don't l always do what you want
me tor She considered
'In a question Of actual service, yes;
otherwise what want when you want
to-"
THE same old question:" he burst
out, almost In earnest you want me
10 dine with a mob Of your friends.
Ten dollars worth Of agony for me to
10 cents qualification for you"
She raised her round chin.
IL like men who don't count COSTS"
she smiled.
Spoiled and unreasonable" he NUT
tered.
II should say 80" she replied, with
a slight lift Of her shoulders. "a girl
with an older brother and seven IN
married uncles and aunts Is 80 apt to
be, especially when each one Is more
critical than the next wherever you be-
gin or end"
But you forget HOwels and the 9th
ers He's certainly done lions share"
IF you mean a man spoils a girl by
showing her consideration. attention,
perfect manners she began hotly.
Are you going to marry him for his
manners or his money!" he interrupted.
II haven't decided" she returned,
with sudden chilllness
You're engaged TO him, them be
asked suddenly.
What right have you to askT
The lines OF his face dropped.
None" he replied humbly
"Well, I'm not" she retorted more
than appeased at his humility After
pause he spoke softly.
MY mother always said I'd be very
easy to manage"
But you know she spoiled you. You
were her only boy Personally
"ou'un Try II II you "ers tne iaSt
man on earth"
one was almost sorry "heh she sa"
his mouth tighten and the fine nervous
lines In his face grow deeper.
