To-day Ste1ia's grateful solitude was
short-lfved- Quick steps had followed
hers; the twfgs parted and Phineas
stood before her
Stella's intuition was unerring, but
her caution was unframed She did
not attempt to conceal her opinion of
him. Mr.. Cadwalladeri" she cried,
starting up. Il thought you went
away by the stage"
Il didn't, you see. I'm here instead -
He bowed deferentia1ly. How could
1 go without a word with you, the belle
of the village? Won't you sit down
AGAIN." He waved his hand toward
the rock from which she had risen, but
kept his place near the entrance.
Thank you, Mr. Cadwallader. Please
excuse me; l must hurry back" She
took a step forward, but he did not
offer to give her egress.
Whats your hurry, Miss Stella ?
You are a lovely dryad here at your
shrine. and pretty girls, to say nothing
of dryads. are too few in my busy life.
You surely won't be SO cruel as to
leave me without word?"
His manner was as respectful as he
could make it. Still, Stella knew he
made conquests merely TO brag of

cision.
He did not move. WIS lessons don't
begin till two; Sally B. said SO. It's
lis now; time enough for a little
talk, isn't there? I've something i'm
portant to say to you" Phineas gazed
at her boldly, expecting to see flush
of apprehensive color sweep her face.
Her calmness only spurred him the
more.
Stella's eyes were fixed on the op-
posite Interest, and she lifted her
hand thoughtlessly to her hair while
searching for an excuse to go that
would be effective. The motion freed
a handkerchief tucked in her belt, and
it fluttered to the ground unseen by
her.
Phineas furtive1y reached for it, ex-
amined it, noted the embroidered
stella" in the corner and thrust it in
his pocket. Yes, look to your hair,

impressively.
"Mr. CadwaIlader, 1 cannot accept
nor parry your extravagant compli-
ments as city girl would. Surely you
can't be interested in the simple
things 1 can say. Please let me 60"
Once again she moved as if to pass
him.
"a beautiful woman doesn't need to
say things to be interesting. You
haven't asked what 1t is I wished to
say
did you expect me to ask"
Most girls would. That's where
you are the more attractive. Sit down
here and Wen talk it over. I'll make
you comfortable" He reached for
some of the overhanging boughs, in
tending to place them on the rock
seat The movement took him a pace
from the opening
Really, Mr.. Cadwallader, I'm sure
you could tell me as well at the hotel.
Good afternoon" She started toward
the low, thorny opening
He was after her with the spring Of
a cat No, you don't, my beauty!
If you won't stay and talk, you shall
give me a proper farewell"
The inequality of the ground awaited
him; and before she could divine his
intention he threw his arm around
her, gave her an audible kiss and
stepped back out of her reach There.

His loud words carried to all and
silenced the room for a pregnant in
slant. Even the clatter of iron cut
lery was suspended. When a subdued
hum did begin, dismay was in each
face and voice. The success of this
new scheme meant failure for the Cen
trail Pacific company; and in that To-
cality the Central Pacific railroad was
mother to every enterprise, bread to
every mouth.
AS soon as she could, Stella wrote
hastily to Alfred, telling him of the
coming of Phineas and his astounding
news She asked Sally B. to hand the
letter to the driver as a special COM
mission and set out through the back
door for walk before lesson time,
hoping to recover tranquility.
She took the little path skirting q
winter uvulet back of the town. and
came soon to a clump of pines a little
way up the sunny hillside She was
quite in view from the short street
until hidden by a thicket of laurel
and holly hugging close about the
taller pines. Though a scant half
mile from the hotel the small nook
