q never dreamed of suspecting any
 thing. How could l." she said, look
 ing dazed, "when you used bad Eng
 lish and washed at the pump, thougl
 remember you always had separate
 towel, but you ate with your knife?
 "One can rise superior to a mere
 prejudice like fork, Miss Ellery, in 6
 good cause"
 Miss Ellery?' Why don't you cal
 her Georgle? She calls you Pete,
 madly suggested Daisy.
 Georgiana, flushing, glanced haughti'
 ly at Daisy. "A good cause" she
 quickly repeated. That's just the
 point What was the cause? Why
 did you deceive us?"
 "Its up to you, Peter, to explain sat
 isfactorily your gay deception" said
 Daisy "If you aren't the limit! Of
 all the foxy tricks I ever heard of!
 Didn't I always say there was some
 thing foxy about you? I did! Well,
 talk it out with Georgie, and I'll receive
 your apologies later-alone in the con-
 servatory. Come, MT. Gateshead, we'll
 leave them alone in this sacred mo-
 ment of their coming to an understand | ing. Let's console each Other." | She drew him away, scarcely needed by Georgiana, though Kinross' glance l followed them for an instant. He laughed as his eyes returned to Georgiana's fixed gaze. She's jolly little fellow, isn't she? mean Daisy" he explained as GeOrgiana looked blank. Shall we sit down and talk it out?"
 Daisy had taken Gateshead to the bay window, so Georgiana led the way across the room to the davenport
 AS they sat down together Kinross realized at once that her self forget fitness had passed and that she was again intensely conscious of herself from the graceful boise of her head and the sweep of her skirts on the floor to every tone of her voice and curve of her lips.
 Now that she knows who I am," he thought, shell recall the fact that Eunice told her I loved her. What the devils to pay?"
 Why" she inquired, "did you con- ceal your identity? If you chose to hire yourself out as a farmland for the summer you need not have been ashamed of it-I would only have honored you for it. Your laboring in conjunction with nature-I can quite understand how it satisfied a want in your soul. How little you understood me when you thought I would look down upon you for itr'
 Kinross mentally sighed She was being superior a&lin, and batting him on the head for hiring out to old | Morningstar and consorting with na- ture!
 Tt was so original of you!' she smiled, quite idyllic, really! A farm hand who read the ''Vedanta Philoso- phy" of Swami Vivekananda, who took half day off when he pleased. was treated by his employers like privileged boarder, smoked fine cigars and had occasional relapses into good English"
 She was certainly carrying it off very easily, all things considered. more easily than he was, in fact. He was relieved at her interpretation of lis escapade, for he would have found t rather difficult explaining his dis suiSe if she had not done 1t for him.
 But how did We both happen to get O the Morningstar farm?' she sud lenly asked. You could not have ,nown that I was going there, for I lid not know it myself until the very lay I went"
 Your supposing that I would have pursued you thither, If I had known. is - ertalnly compliment to my taste," e bowed.
 She looked at him with a slight sus- icion in her eyes, and a faint color [ ame into her checks. But her native gotism blinded her to irony directed gainst herself. Tt was strange coincidence, wasn't 7" she said; but hardly fair" she ( ided archly, that you should have { cen taking me inf you will pardon j. le slang-for four weeks without my t moving it." u "On the whole. you behaved very V ell, Miss Ellcry" " She looked so complacently sure of it lat he could not help adding, Tt re- :, fsN not We are on the same line of f arch whether we are 'at one and d n clasp hands," O She was not in the least discom- | 'sed by the allusion.
