found that the rule worked well and,
being a person quick to seize and
adapt to his own plan of life any
good idea that came his way, he had
not hesitated to include method
among his treasures of theory
When he grew up he refused to join
the dancing club made up OF his
friends because it interfered with his
evening lesson in Spanish. Likewise
the card club fell on the date of his
monthly debating society and he
passed by its allurements. This pos
sibly explains why he had reached the
age of 32 before he really took a COM
prehensive look at Adeline Simpson.
The years during which Adeline had
fluttered and shone in the dances and
parties attended by all the young folks
James Orvis had lived unknowing be.
cause he had been otherwise engagedy
having seen at last how amazingly Diff
ferent she was from all other young
women, Orvis found that he was suf-
fering from a chronic CONFUSION OF
the heart, which totally upset him,
methodical as he was.
81 suppose" he said to himself, after
three cigars and a period, of fierce con.
centration, II am in love. Come to
think of 1t, It is remarkable that l
haven't fallen in love before. On the
other hand, It isn't, either, because as
things have turned out | couldn't fall
in love till | found the right girl and.
of course, Addie is the right girl. I
wonder whether she would like trip
to Japan better than trip to Europe
for wedding Journey"
All of which shows how innocent OF
the ways of women James Orvis was.
For he had called on Adeline only
three times and she was supposedly
ignorant of the trend of his emotions.
That he was in love with her was suf-
ficient for him-he was going to mar
ry her, naturally, and 1t never occur
red to him that she might have diff.
ferent ideas.
Methodically he set about revealing
to her his state of mind. Wednesday
evenings he called with two.pound
box of candy. Friday nights he invita- ,
ed her to attend the theater. Sunday
afternoons he always came with an
automobile to take her riding
The first tine he found another
caller there on his Wednesday evening
he was surprised. When, the second
Sunday after, he pulled up in front Of
Adeline's home just as she and a dis
gustingly handsome individual were
starting away in an electric runabout.
Orvis went home in a real rage.
How was to know you were COM
ing?" Adeline inquired in some indig-
nation when Orvis took her to task. Il.
But" insisted the still perturbed
Orvis. ut has been my habit for so
long that | thought Of course you'd

81 don't take things for granted"
flashed the stubborn Miss Simpson,
giving her admirer food for thought.
He had planned how he should pro-
pose to her. After pursuing his We'd
nesday, Friday and Sunday plan for
six months he intended on Wednes-
day evening, over the box of candy,
first to inform her of his business
prospects. next that the life insurance
doctor said he was good for so years,
then OF the suburban house he had
bought as an investment some ting
before. Finally he would inquire III
she would be his wife.
Never to this day can he understand
how 1t happened that on Monday
morning downtown In pouring rain
he should have been swept by an In.
