Minnie had come with her mother.
Presently factory whistle somewhere blew

l don't know what he'll do when tomorrow comes
and you're gone"
Mrs Derning laughed unconcernedy. That
young man should be attentive to pretty girl
a fact so accustomed to her way of thinking to be
unnoticeable
Minnie was nineteen and since her earliest school
days had failed to have certain number of
callow admirers at her heels with all of whom she
had laughed and chummed unconsciously as if
each had been her sister. If romance had
touched her with very fnger-tip, she had given no
evidence of it.
Mrs Hewlett pursued the subject, however, as she
and Mrs. Deemng laid the long table in the gloomy
dning-room.
We'll, he's real nice fellow and he's got nice
parents, too. His father friend of Georges in
Chicago-thats how he happened to come to me for
board when they sent him here take charge of the
new steel works He's awful handy around the
house, too-does lots OF little things that woman
can't manage and fathers no more use than an old

she laughed. Those different times" she said.

Gle does seem to take sight of comfort in EN-"
said Mrs Deming placidy. Minnie's mother was a
large woman ample of heart and body, with face
that some thirty years ago must have been like her
daughters. She bore resemblance to Mrs
Hewlett than full-leaved oak does to a telegraph
pole.
This was the first visit she had paid her sister in
some years, although their homes less than
days journey part. She had come more from
of duty than from any pleasure she might de-
rive leaving her comfortable home in cool Con-
necticut town for two-weeks' stay in dusty city.

contemplation of its splendor, stood, this sultry
Summer afternoon, little old man and girl.
"'Twasn't no more than slip he give me-" Father
Hewlett's voice, cracked but triumphant, as he
approached the climax of his story "Nothin' more
than a slip. And look at it now"
He waved tremulous hand at the Haunting Ramb-
Ter.
The girl drew long, appreca.'re breath. One
could never have told from the fattering interest
with which she followed Father Hewletts story that
this was far from her first hearing OF the apotheosis
of the Crimson Rambler,
WELL you ought to be proud she assured him
loudly.
CHI said Father HEWLETT he was very deaf
She raised her voice and repeated the compliment,
her face flushing with the exertion She was
radiant young creature, ruddy blonde, warm as to
tints and generous to proportions and buoyant
with health; the type of girl whom one might fancy
could stand to symbolic the embryonic mother

the young eyes that looked at the bent old man
whose head scarcely reached her shoulder.

Dunno as can spare one" he said begrudgngly
and they both laughed.
This was the invariable game that followed the
inspection of the garden, and the old man delighted
in it. He broke off a spray OF the Rambler and she
tucked it coquetishly in the open neck of her white
blouse. "There!' she shricked at him.
Becomes ye," ne chucked gallantly.
Inside the kitchen window her aunt Mrs. Hew-
