that. I'm going to ask you to change
yours
Mary gave a little start of surprise,
and her cheeks flushed still more
rosily.
Il have already changed it, she
said in voice so low that Dan just
caught the words. please let US for
get this-this little episode, Mr.. Hew-
ling. Z know / haven't played fair. I
ought to have told you before, but I
didn't know it would make any diff
ference
ANY differencer' Dan echoed bit
terly. And for a long time they walked
on in silence.
we are going to be good friends,
aren't we, just the same?' Mary ven
tured at length, her lips trembling.
Dan steadied himself.
"Of course he said. "It has been
all my fault. You have played per-
fectly fair. There was no reason why
you should have told me anything"
The following Saturday Hewling
took the train for his native city. He
felt that he needed change Of sur
roundings. He had just tossed his
suit case up into the rack and was
about to settle down when he saw
Mary get into the car. But she did
not see him.
So she was seeking change too.
he had dozen minds as to whether
he should join her or not, but finally
decided not to.
He changed his seat, however, so
that he could watch her more closely.
Although she had magazine, he no.
ticed that she did not read it, but con-
tinued to stare out of the window, all
most immovable
He noticed, too, how exquisitely pref
ty she looked in spite Of her plain,
questionable costume. Something of
the viking spirit took possession of
him for moment and made him feel
like leaping on to the engine and car
rying her off at terrific speed into
some big, undiscovered kingdom.
Suddenly-or SO it seemed to Hew-
ling-the train came to standstill
and people began to leave the car
When the crowd had passed by him
he looked again for Mary. She had
gone too. Jerking down his suit case
and snatching up his overcoat Hew-
ling made mad dash off the train,
landing almost In the midst of a
group of laughing girls on the plat
form.
''Well, Dan Hewlingv' exclaimed one
Of them, shaking hands with him cor
daily. where did you come from?
Is that your usual way of alighting
from trains? Oh, Elsie,'' she called
after one Of the girls-they had all
very tactfully withdrawn-''c back
here. You must let me introduce Dan
Hewling. Dan, my college chum, Ell
sic Landers. I'm sure you two people
ought to be-
Eyes, interrupted Dan, his express
sion a comical mixture of amazement
and happiness as he acknowledged
the Introduction. 'I'm sure we ought
to be-
Ought to be what, for mercy sake?"
gasped Mary Browns chum.
Engaged" finished the irrepressi-
BILE Dan. ''And we would have been
if Mary-I mean Elsie-had played
fair
At this Elsie Landers looked up at
Nan appealingly, and her friend
stared at the two in establishment.
''You don't mean that you-oh, how
romantic! Ill never say another
word against that crazy socialistic
scheme Of yours, Elsie. She's writing
thesis, as suppose you know, Dan,
on-what is it on Elsie? never
could remember
1T doesn't matter" laughed Elsie.
I've almost forgotten myself
Then you aren't going back to that
dingy little town any more?"
Elsie's eyes met Dams in fash Of
mutual comprehension.
ooh, | can't promise that-because,
you see, the oyerseer thinks a lot Of
me, and think he's going to promote
me-
.sYou bet he is!'' came from Dan so
explosively that the secret was out in
minute
"Oh, Elsie, you fraudv exclaimed
her chum. '.The idea Of your having
such a perfectly original romance and
never
ut was only second hand one"
laughed Elsie.
But only she and Dan understood,
squeezing hands on the sly as Elsie's
chum went in to break the news to
the others.
