Settled what?' asked Hall, laying down his

why, | have proposed to her."
Proposed to whom?"
ITO Mrs. Langston Hang it, man, have you
forgotten my long consultation with you last
Friday" Willett bit off the end OF his cigar
and struck match vicously. 81 presume that
you have not only forgotten the occasion, but
that the advice you gave me has also escaped
you"
advice in regard to what? You are always
asking advice about something and then follow
ing your own head"
Don't you recall my telling you that I was
in love-in love with Mrs. Langston, the lowell
est woman that breathes, and that Jim Par
sons was as hard hit |, and while ] believed
l was ahead i'll the race [ was afraid OF Jim
because he had such slick tongueT
ooh, yes, and / said that you would best not
let any grass grow under your feet, because a
woman who had been married three times al
ready would not stand any diuy-dalying-if you
did not speak quickly that she would marry Jim
just from force of habit
Precisely, but that wasn't all"
'What else did / say! You have interrupted
me in the middle of letter to my liancee, and
my thoughts are bit scattered"
'Well, to help You collect them, / told you
had made up my mind to propose at once, and
as | had never been in love before, and conse-
quently had never made a proposal II wanted
your dQflcc III ISBdIu 10 Vllc ptbV way OF uOlnS
it. l naturally supposed that man who had
been refused by dozen different women and
had finally succeeded in becoming engaged to
the thirteenth would have acres of good counsel
to give me-"
"And didn't /? II seems to me | told you to
follow the inspiration Of the moment"
$50 you did, but it appeared to me hardly
safe to leave such important matter entirely
to chance. In case the inspiration failed to in
spire, 1 wanted something to fall back upon"
eyes, and called you fool, and told you a
dozen ways at least OF putting the question"
"Good. ! am glad to see that your brain is
growing clear and your memory coming back to
you AS was not fluent of speech like that fop
Parsons, you suggested that / make the proposal
by letter"
"And the plan did not please your
Certainly not and for two reasons. First, l
thought it was cowardly, and second, l could
not bear the suspense of waiting for reply"
"Then ! said you might take the fascinating
widow boat-rding, upset the boat, swim ashore
with her, and claim the life you had saved"
"And you knew ] couldn't swim!'
81 knew that nothing 1 could possibly suggest
would meet your appreciation. But since you
have proposed and the matter is settled, great
Scott man, what is the use of going over our
last interview"
