ORDON WAVERLEI was IN
= love and had just discovered
it. He had been proof against
+ the wiles of feminine art; and
having reached the age of 80 he con-
sidered himself immune.
Then vengeance overlook him. He
did not recognize vengeance, how
ever, in the charming guise of Made
leine Vernon. He only knew that she
was. as he expressed it, just the girl
for whom he had been looking. This
would have been very amusing to his
associates had they known it. for
since his grammar school days he had
been noted for sedulously looking away
from everything feminine.
Gordon had suffered from a blight
ed heart at the age Of IA and had
never fully recovered. The author of
his injury, Miss Laura Boice, fifteen
years his senior, had been led to the
altar by his elder brother, and envy,
hatred and malice had ranked in his
boyish heart for several years.
At the age of 16 he was a professed
woman-hater. AT "a he tolerated the
poor. weak creatures as necessary evils
which might have been dispensed with
had little more foresight been exer-
cjsed when the earth and it's inhabi-
tants were being planned. At 80 he
found them very convenient as man
ayers and servants in the beautiful
mansion where he dwelt alone after
his parents had gone to their long
rest; but he often wondered how other
men found them attractive and COM
panionable.
Now he was holding a long and not
altogether pleasant interview with
himself before the glowing CRATE fire
In his luxurious library.
His thoughts reverted to the pleas
ures of the glorious October just
passed. The long drives over the
pleasant country roads-how delighted
Madeleine had been with the gorgeous
ccloring of the maplesi The exhilar-
ating rides in the crisp, morning air
how we'll Madeleine rode and how SUI
die! The jolly afternoons on the golf
links-Madeleine was a fine player,
and how full of unconscious grace.
The delightful evenings at the Gra-
hams-he considered Jack Graham
one of his best friends-and Mrs. Gra-
ham really was quite entertaining!
He laughed a little in confusion as he
remembered that this very high opin.
ion of the Grahams had been reached
only since the advent of Miss Made
lelne Vernon, a cousin of Mrs. Gra-
ham.
Il suppose" he soliloquized, his
honest face reddening in the dancing
fire light, II suppose this is what they
call love. There is no reason why l

We'll, on your honor to keep it. I
learned a lot of poetry twaddle and
started to reel it off to her. and she
looked me straight in the eyes and
said. Goodness. Jack Graham, are you
trying to propose to me-? And l said,
quite humbly, That's what, Edith She

Waverley lost no time in prelimi-
naries.
I've just been told, Miss Vernon,
that we are reported to be engaged
How strange. Who would have
taken such asliberty?"
We'll, Miss Vernon, l think it would
be far easier, and certainly, for me,
much happier. to make the rumor true,
than TO go to the trouble of denying it
and trying to have the denial accepted.
Can't you agree with me, Madeleine,
dear?"
II think you are right" she ad
mitted "denials of such a thing are al
ways ineffective, and in some cases
positively distressing. lit would be
to me in this case" she added de-
murely.
He took one quick step toward her,
then turned and crossed the room to
the telephone. When communication
had been established with his own
home, he called jubilantly. It's all
right, Jack, congratulations are in or
der, but-you needn't be in any hurry
about extending them in person."
Then he sat down beside Miss Ver-
non. and said and did things just as
happily foolish as those of which he
had read in the novels in his own Ii
brary.

thing is DONE"
He looked diligently over the book
shelves. Surely, there ought to be
some treatise on such an important
theme he murmured, disappointedly.
Then, as a more feasible idea oc-
CURED to him, he turned to another
part of the room and anxiously
searched through several of the popu-
lar novels of the day.

self-respecting girl would despise a
man who talked like that

square shoulders pushed in from be-
hind the silken draperies, you are just
the man I want to see. How did you

Graham stared, bewildered by the
blunt and unexpected question.

how the thing is done
Jack grinned and actually blushed.
