"Hain't this> a. pretty po.y?" said
Josie changing the topic shrewdly.
If you'd say 1t was black, I'd be-
neve you--have to-. said Mel, but
looking at Floss, :: He wiped the sweat
from his brow, for it was rather warm.
Floss caught his eyes and f. hastily
looked away. 49,.
Nonsense rebuked Josie. "All

Il know BETTER" said Mel lightly.

| Josie. -
"Shut up" cried Floss; you've
! quarreled enough" ..
Nov you're shoutin'," said Mel, a.
glow Of broad laughter shining from
| his fine face.
| Il dislike quarrels," said Josie airily.
Neither don't l." returned Mel
using slang purposely.
| Il never" Quarrel--unless 1 have to-"
said Floss

They never alluded once to their
fortunes, as revealed by the uut-brown
maiden gypsy. Both wondered why,
and only. waited for the other to
breach the subject. Many opportuni-
ties in life are lost by waiting.
After strolling around a while Mel
lifted his hat and was away.
Il never saw such a fellow" re-
marked Josie as soon as he was out
of hearing.
'How?" asked Floss seriously. Her
seriousness was too plain to escape
notice. She did not know it.
''Why, he's not like Others"
I'm what way?"
Hes genial and lively-not cold
blooded.'
"Cold- blooded!" surprised at the
word. 1t grated.
conversation they once had on this
idea.
you never forget anything, JOSIE"
20, yes do; but not that"
Their seriousness was becoming irk-
some.
Il hate seriousness, Josie. I'll say
I'm convinced just to avoid it. Let's
drop it."
Enough said"
At this juncture the singular Mick
Hef1eron approached with an awk-
ward attempt at politeness.
"1s it you ladies see at all, at ALL"
fam I dun know at all, at ALL" re-
piled Josie who could not put aside an
opportunity to jest.
"Will you thin tell me whether its
you or some 1ther ladies'" said Mick
The Hibernicism caused Floss to
laugh outright. She said:
AN It's nather the one nor the
other
by the hockey how do I know who
you are, If you don't know yourselves
at all.''
you see we're lost-that's it," said
Josie.
AN may I now have the pleasure
of f1ndin' you an ladin' you back to
your friends?"
AN wad you do 1t, I dun know at
all, at ALL" cried Josie almost sobbing
from delight.
After continuing the Jest for several
minutes they politely turned away and
left him. They laughed until the
woods echoed their merriment-the
woods that would become a sweet
memory to them all the rest of their
dear lives. You can't rob one Of the
riches Of happy memories-no more
can one escape the curse of evil
memories. Ones memory biesses or
dams him, as the case may be.
There's something fatal In that fell
low" said Josie when she could COM
| mand herself.
| "How 500" queried Floss.
! Hes a chap Of desperate spite,"
said the close observing Josie. Intui-
lively she read people.
| 20, I don't admire him a little Bit"
| Hes capable Of anything" said
| Josie. +
