She was blushing furioasly. 1t became
imperatively necessary to pause little
to allow her to recover herself. They
were entirely alone. For a brief minute
they remained thus, looking into each
others faces.
Then they sauntered on, hand in hand
across the plowed field, to where Harriet,
with her mouth full of bread and cheese
was impatiently awaiting them.
Whats the matter with you two?"

The train which bore DR.. Paul Mason
back to Paris that night must have been
conscious of the reluctance of one of its
passengers, at least, to leave the neigh

short trip seemed so long and tedious to
certain pleasant faced, thoughtful, mid
dle-aged gentleman, who sat and thrum-
med impatiently upon the window looking
out upon the night.

The young man with the tightly
creased trousers and badly winkled
brow had maintained an ominous 81
lence for several minutes after the old
er people had left the room. 1t was
only when he rose and made for the
door that the girl asked him what was
the matter. Then he paused.
AS If you didn't KNOW" he said bit
terly.
why, Of course don't know" said
the girl.
"Of course not" said the young man.
"Oh, WELL" said the girl, with
scornful lift of her eyebrows, "if you
want to go l wouldn't keep you for
anything. Good night"
"You know perfectly WELL" said the
young man.
81 suppose you don't like the way
my hair is DONE" ventured the girl,
lifting her hand to her colffure. II
thought perhaps you wouldn't, but
didn't think you would take it quite
so much to heart. Will you wait while
go upstairs and put it up?"
81 don't intend to be laughed out of
it," said the young man, gloomily.
you know it's not that"
"All know is that you've been act
ing all the evening as If had done
something to offend you"
Il suppose you couldn't help lighting
his pipe for him. said the young man.
"And you couldn't help putting your
hand on his shoulder while you were
doing it. All can say is that I'm not
going to stand It,"
"Why, Henry Grommel! exclaimed
the girl. as that what It WASP al
ways light his pipe for him."
"And it wasn't only that, 1t was
well, 1t was the whole thing. The way
you acted and the way he acted. What
business did he have patting your
cheek"
why, he always pats my cheek. l
don't mind it,"
"You didn't seem to-" said the young
man, sarcastlcally. "Of course, |
haven't any right to object If you don't
mind it; all the same, If 1t hadn't been
for making a scene should have had
1t out with him right there. He GER
talnly has his nerve with him."
why, Henry, you silly; he doesn't
mean anything by it. It's just because
he likes me-"
II suppose it is. Pm not going to
stand for it, though. And another
thing, l don't care about his calling
you sweetheart 1 don't mind his
calling you Mabel so much, though l
don't see why he can't address you as
Miss Peters, just the same as any
body else. He's altogether too famIl-
lar, and you encourage him In it"
I'D be ashamed if l were you" said
the girl. He's known me all my life,
ever since l was a baby, and he's al
ways brought me candy and dolls and
all sorts Of things. The idea of his
calling me Miss Petersr He's 65 years
old"
81 don't care If he's hundred" said
the young man. II don't like it. He's
widower, isn't he?"
"Why, no." replied the girl. Hes
married and got two grandchildren"
II don't see why that's any reason
for his patting you on the cheek"
81 want him to pat me on the cheek"
"Very well, then" said the young
man, sternly. IF you want to airt
with him it's very certain that you
can't care much for me. If you prefer
him to me all can say is
