and awaited the descent of the lion.

l waited with a prayer on my lips.
Instead | heard confusion out on
the Wood Road. There were loud
voices. The machine was at Il stop,
for l could see the lights through the
trees. Alice was in a dead faint, and
seeing that I could not help her at
that moment and that the beast bad
disappeared l jumped out aud ran 10
the roadside. There stood Fred VIII
sons big touring car, with the front
smashed in; there stood Fred and his
three companions; and there. in the
middle of the road, lay the lion. My
plan was successful. Following us
closely he had no time to dodge the
heavy car. He met it head on.
There could be only one result.
My runahout was not hurt, and af-
ter a time, with Alice beside me, re
covered, though tremulous, we rode
slowly home. The supper was
abandoned. But in the quiet of Al

pursuers or intruders. I went on with

dear face very close to mine, We
planned our honeymoon.

me. The machine swerved sharply,

him very disheartening as weeks
passed by and the guests made no
sign of departure.
Rut all things must come to an end,
and as the cooler days and evenings
of autumn arrived they said, but in
deed, we surely must return to the
city. We have staid months where
we expected TO remain weeks"
And so they gave their host n for
nal handshakei and a perfunctory
rood hye, while they kissed and EN-
braced the hostess and to her said:
"Neyer have we been more char
minely entertained; you have done ev-
erything in your power to make this
a summer long to be remembered"
And the poor clerk returned to his
desk and work, the house resumed its
normal condition. but as each pay day
rolled around he added his debts and
his credits. only to find that extra
hundred dollars persiStently remain
ing ON the wrong side of the ledger.
Whether it is ample compensation
for him to hear, when he occasionally
meets one of his summer friends, of
the charming hospitality shown by
his wife," is known only to himself.
Doubtless SO, since husband and wife
are one
