 To fall in love properly with ti.e handsomest girl at q summer resort there should be formal intr0lue ,ion. and d formal introduction may be hard to achieve under certain circumstances There must be q mutual acquaintance to bring il about. Miss Haddon's mother was q Widow and an invalid and kept to herself most of the time. Paul Dillon looked the crowd over twice a day for sight of faces hp !lne@. but looked in vain. Four days iJaSSe,l. and the hotel did not take fire. t.le mountain behind it did not slide down. and there was no strike of Waiters L. give linl an opportunity to play tle hero and present his card Then Ike decided to take a spin in tht- auto which had been shipped up to him.
 When undecided what to du iii d ease of love, trust to the auto. 1t has a hundred possibilities.
 MT. Dillon had driven fifteen miles and stopped at Il hotel to refresh him self. when he was pleased and sur prised to see Miss Iaddon and an- other young woman drive up in an. other auto. They had followed hil from the hotel. They aliglted aud dis appeared.

 By and by two things happened ill the same minute. The chauffeur sud denly increased his speed. and a COW ] in front of farmhouse.
