assured him.
A few months after her return to
New York the family were startled by
a bombshell in the shape of a letter
from Patsy announcing that she had
left Nine. Elsie's owing to a quarrel
with the bookkeeper and gone on the
stage. To say that her parents were
Mortified is to put it mildly. As 1t APP
peared to them then, the stage was a
~toboggan slide to ruin and perdition,
and the fact that her first letter con-
tanned the first of a series of weekly
remittances three times as large as
the wages she had been receiving as
GRAND girl under the guise of appren-
tice only confirmed them in this view.
Mallory was not less startled. II
brought to him the realization of the
fact that he loved her so that the
thought of losing her, the very idea
that she might belong to another, was
uncomfortable.
Her parents summoned her home per-
emptorily, n she came and had it
out with them. She explained her de-
parture from the milliner's and her en-
trance into the theatrical profession in
this wise:
81 couldn't stand for the bookkeep,
but, seem he was head hand holder for
madame, it made it kinder embarrassin'

or tremolo music. Me carryin' home

there with a smile an a shape-if l do
say it as shouldn't-that got me third
from the end in short order. OF course
now the bookkeep's married madame
an is maxim a book at the track things
'u'd be different, but I'm in the show
business for keeps
Mrs. O'Brien did not see 1t that way.
For the first and only time there was
a fight to a finish for supremacy be-
tween mother and daughter. 1t lasted
about a week, and, although Mrs.
O'Brien brought into action her for

Mallory, driven to desperation, went
so far as to cast the first shadow on
the sun-bathed horizon of their bliss by
intimating that he feared it would be
all over between them if she insisted
on going on the stage.
"What are you afraid Off" she de-
manded, quietly.

TITS a DEAL" she said. "Cinch it.

He held out his hand, and she grasp

she raised it, pressed it against her
cheek and covered it with kisses.
ooh. Dan, my Dan. you're a mani"
she cried, and as he clasped her to him
in a passionate embrace he saw that
her eyes were wet.
Mallory's opposition having been
overcome, the capitulation of her pa
rents followed. 1t was the same with
the stage as with every other line of
work, she said. 1t depended on the girl
herself whether or not she remained
good and virtuous. She knew many
chorus girls who were both, and she
wanted to know why they should
doubt her ability to tax care of her
self. Besides. she pointed out that the
salary she was receiving. SIS a week,
was something to which she could not
aspire for sCme years in the millinery
business. And so she had her way;
and her frequent visits home, which
showed that she was the same Patsy,
and the great help to them of the
larger share of her salary which they
received with unfailing regularity when
she had any to send, and on which

around to the view that the theatrical
profession was not by any means so
black as it was painted. and finally
that it was as good as most others and
a great deal better than some.
Mallory, spurred by the grit of his
sweetheart and the prize held out to
him to ever greater efforts thar he
had previously put forth, procured a
lucrative position as manage of a rae
ing stable, and in course of time
amassed enough to establish a stable of
his own. He selected Maple Grove as
the site for It, and, of course, he took
with him the O'Brien family, which he
long since had come to consider as his
own. At first things a gone well, and
the day for the wedding at last had
been fixed. But it was not yet to be.
A series of misfortunes crippled Nal
lory's resources so seriously that Patsy
insisted on a postponement. A number
of horses fell sick and died, and fire,
against which there was no insurance,
wiped out most of his buildings. NAL
lory found himself facing probable ruin,
with the laundering of all his hopes,
unless help arrived from some quarter.
In this extremity one of the patrons of
the stable found a likely partner for
him in Richard Crawford. a wealthy
young New Yorker, well-known as a
clubman and a man about town, who
was much interested in horses and horse
racing. 1t had been arranged that Mr..
I Crawford, whom Mallory had w
, seen, should run down to look over the
quarters and the animals, and he had
wired the trainer that he you'd arrive

meekly as his children did, had called
a halt and threatened him with. the

fear of his wife, partly because he
realized the futility of his efforts to win
his money back and partly because he
did not wish to set a bad example to
his daughters, whom he loved devoted
ly, he had, like Mallory, definitely set
his face against betting.
The men took a liking to each other,

which a wind blowing strongly
from the west sent the low-hanginr
clouds scurrying as though it sought to
block the gates of dawn and retard
the coming of day. A cold rain slanted
on to the sodden ground and ripped
m~onotonously from the caves of a lone
: wooden shed which, dignihed with the
ute OF station, or, rather, in the YER
nacular of the natives. dee-po. marked
the stopping off place for Maple Grove.
AS even the biggest Ounce in the
smallest public school knows full we'll.
Maple Grove is in Virginia. on the line
OF the Richmond, Potomac and Fred
ericksburg Railroad, not a hundred
miles from Richmond, and should any
one be SO i'll informed as not to know
that Maple Groves title to fame lies in
the fact that Dan Mallory's training
stable has been established for two
years in it's vicinity it is safe to say
that he, or she, would be the object of
surprised commisseration on the part
of each and all of the villages 300 in
habitants, for did not that famous mare
Lady Belle, the pride of the stable and
of Maple Grove, win the Washington
cup at Bennings last season-win in a
canter? And did not Maple Grove back
her to a manage, to a woman? OF
course she did, and of course it did.
And that IS why Maple Grove, flushed
with pride and with its sudden Access
sion of unearned increment. took its
place at once and, be 1t said, with all
due dignity a. one of the important
communities of the United States.
At the station. where the solitary
OIL lamp blinked lividly in the growing
daylight, the rain beat in fierce SQUALLS
upon the hood of a buggy and upon a
horse which was seeking consolation in
his nose bag. In the shelter of the shed,
his hands thrust deeply into the pockets
of,his o%vercoat, leaned Daniel Mallory
himself. The fast express from Wash
ington-which stopped at Maple Grove
only by request of passengers-was not
u for a quarter of an hour, and the
minutes were tagging tiresomely, as
they have an exasperating trick Of do
ing when one is waiting for a train.
But the thoughts of the man in the
shed were soon far away from Maple
Grove. The blinking lamp and misty
pail of ain were bIotted out by a vision
of a pair of big blue eyes smiling at
him, now roguishly, now with tender
usefulness, from a girls pretty face,
about which a wealth of blond tresses
rioted rebelliously. And the vision
brought a responsive, though uncon-
scious smile to his own p~hysiognomy.
Daniel Mallory was a good-looking
strongly built man of thirty. His eyes,
like those of the face of his vision,
were blue, and usually they gazed upon
the world in kindness, quick to note
the good and the humorous in it. The

Strawberry vinegar is very easily

I doubt if you can purchase it. The

Fresh pulled strawberries, 8 pints.
White wine vinegar, l quart.
