her eyes on the big buckles OF her
colonial slippers.
John Porter seated himself on ths
porch rail and looked straight at Dor

"Dorothy." he said. II know it's the
general opinion that a man has no
right TO ask a girl with a rich father
10 marry him until he can provide for
her the things she has been accus-
toned to having, but it seems to me
that if a girl really cared for a man
she could be happy with him even II

things she'd been used to-"

ton. "And that is why dare to tell
you that you can afford to give up
some Of the things that money can
buy and come and share with me the
things that can't be bought Will you
come, Dorothy|
"Yes," said Dorothy, meeting his look
souarely at last, 81 will come"
Half an hour later they remembered
Dorothy's father.
"He will never allow you to marry

Mr.. Allen reused himself from the
depth of a leather chair where he had
been taking an afternoon nap, started
a little at the sight Of the young man
and looked quizzically at his daughter.
"Your prospects for doing so certain
ly look a little brighter than they have
for the past few days" he remarked.
"Where have you been keeping your
self Mr.. Porter? Dorothy and had
about concluded that you were too
busy doing things to give us any at

her mind 10 marry you, you may as

said Mr.. Allen, "she had a little mon

death l put the investment in Doro-
thys name without saying anything to
her about it. It's really surprising
how that little sum has grown. The
income from it is now quite consider
able" He named a sum more than
twice John Porters salary. II should
