 "No." he declared emphatically. Tt would be my affair. But really. I want to know. Will you, if l get my fathers business back?''

It's for a cept that you are to engage in busi- ness with it. That's all the instruc- tions 1 have"
 Thanks" said Bobby, with a gulp. Honestly, Agnes, it's shame. It's a low-down trick the governor play ed to put me in this helplessly belit- tied position with you.'
 Why, how strange" she replied quietly, 'I look upon it as most graceful and agreeable position for myself"
 "Oh!" he exclaimed blankly, as it occurred to him just how uncomfort- able the situation must be to her, and he reproached himself with sell phase of the matter before. That's

Still in the joy of knowing that his one dreaded rival was removed in so pleasant a fashion, he handed her into the automobile and they start ed out to see MT. Chalmers. Their way led down Grand street, past The John Burnt Store, and with all that had happened still ranking sorely in his mind, Bobby looked up and gave a gasp. Workmen were taking down the plain, dignitied old sign of The Jhon Burnt Store from the top of the building, and in its place they were raising up a glittering new one, ordered by Silas Trimmer on the very day Bobby had agreed to go into the consolidation; and it read:

 Gracious, no!" she protested. You fill up every spare moment that l have now; but so long as you are here on business this time, let's attend to business. You may take me up to see MT. Chalmers. By the way, l want you to meet him, any anyhow You have seen him, l be- leve, once or twice. He was here one day when you called, and he was walking with me in the lobby of the theatre when you came in to join us one evening"
 Yes drawled Bobby, as if he were placing the man with difficulty.
 The Chalmers are charming peo- ple," she went one. His wife is per fectly fascinating. We used to go to school together. They have only been married three months, and when they came here to go into business was glad to throw such of your fathers estate as I am to handle in- to his hands. Whenever they are ready I want to engineer them into our set, but they live very quietly now. 1 know you'll like them"
 "Oh, I'm sure 1 will" agreed Bob- by heartily, and his face was posi- lively radiant, as, for some unac- countable reason, he clutched her arm, around which, for one ecstatic

 Give me the letter, Johnson" he said with a wry smile, and John son, answering it with another equal ly as grim, handed him gray envelope.
 Applerod, who had been the first to upraid him, was now the first to recover his spirits.
 Never mind, MT. Burnit," said he; businesses and even fortunes have been lost before and have been regained. There are still ways to make money"
 Bobby did not answer him. He was opening the letter, preparing to stand its contents in much the same spirit that he had often gone to his father to accept a reprimand which he knew he could not iii dig nifty evade. But there was no repri- mand. He read:
 There's no use in telling a
 young man what to do when he
 has been gouged. If he's made of the right stuff he'll know, and
 if he isn't, no amount of telling
 will put the right stuff in him. 1 have faith in you, Bobby, or I'd never have let you in for this

 Lyman leaned against the rail fence, his brain whizzing with new battery ideas. The desirability of the widow had increased tenfold since this bold rival had proclaimed himself determinedly What was Louizy in comparison? The ideas came to focus. He stepped for ward resolutely.

II was o'clock Monday morning. and the smoke of Louizy Cotton. woods wash fire in the back yard was threading its blue haze into the fresh early air
 Louizy's father. Lyman Cotton wood, striking out cross lots. Jagged q little while he started his after breakfast cob pipe. His gaze dwelt ruminatively upon the big wash hop per for few moments. then tray eled back to the form of his daugh- ter just appearing from the smoke house with a tub in her arms.
 "Louizy,"
 The young woman turned her head around. set the tub upon the baCkless chair and came forward her low. flat shoes batting softly over the short goose grass" Her figure looked skimp in it's blue cal ico washing gown; her locks were hempy in color and not too plenti- full; she had gathered them up high and twisted them so tightly that the outer corners of her eyes were drawn upward like those of a Chinese woman.
 "Louizy," said her father, leaning an elbow on the corner of the hop per. 'I was goin' to tell you an fur got; the Widder Peppers a-comin' up today fer a basket of windfall Spy apples to make dumplin's. an I gotter be at Harris all day help in thrash You show CT where the good ones is at, an don't you sass 'er none You understand"
 "I ain't carin' how many Spy ap- ples she gathers. Reckon apples wasn't the only thing you an her was settlin about yes'day evenin'."
 "Wull'-Lyman looked off slant wise across the hopper-"I got 'er penned up as close es you ever kin pen woman. The darned contrary birds won't never give you a square out yes tell after the preachers sent fer. But you kin count on havin' stepma before pumpkins is ripe"
 T wouldn't think, then. paw Louizy's voice became mildly re prOachful- seein how happy you're agoin' to be, you'd begrutch me an'-an'-S Sam
 Her father came up from his lounging attitude with jerk
 "Louizy Jane Cottonwood. how many times l gotter tell you that's diffrunt? Now, listen yere'-he ticked off his points with the fore finger of his right hand in the spread palm of the left told you the whut fors an why sos yes-day, an that's huff said. An now listen at this: Eff l don't find Sam Dorkins at Harris thrashin today it's a sign he's over we're, an ef he is you'll see me back, an you'll see me bounce Sam over the fence into the bresh quick enough to jolt his ears crooked Now, mind whut I've told you"
 LouiZy shed so many tears over her wash that morning that when the fat little Widow Pepper came with her basket she cast many sharply inquisitive glanccs at the red rings of the fOrlorn maiden's eyes
 "Looky here, LouiZy Cottonwood said she at length as the two trudg- ed up to the orchard, you ain't been actin the baby cause your paw wants to marry agin, hey you?'
 Louizy shook her head.
 T wouldn't care speck if he married tomorrow if he'd hay the

He's countin' on takin' a lot of city folks to board of summers after you an him air married. an he says two women II be needed to cook fer em."
 Well, l say," Mrs. Phebe Pepper brought the exclamation out with a chop. Then she stopped in the path and laughed with a heartiness that threatened to break her apron strings. Mrs. Pepper was short and wide, and her little round. dark face expressed mixture of good nature, shrewdness and obstinacy
 Hes a curious old plant. your paw is, said she. but I've jist got this to say: If any man O mine ever takes any summer boarders he'll do the cookin' CT else hell hire it done"
 Louizy shook her head dissenting ly.
 1oul think different when paw gets you"
 He ain't got me yit," said the widow cheerfully. "Looky here, Loui- zy, how old air you?"
 "Thirty-three," confessed Louizy, with slight blush
 The law me, An you're scared to marry without your paw says you kin?"
 The blush wdened, taking in Louizy's ears.
 You don't know paw" said she dismaly.
 Couldn't more than kill you. could he?"
 Some folks tongues is worse than k'llin'."
 The widow trudged forward in silent self communion, which lasted until they reached the Northern Spy apple tree. Louizy began to fill the basket with the bright streaked windfalls, but Mrs. Pepper pumped herself down comfortably into the clover.
 sam Dorkins is goin' on forty" said she meditatively. Hes a sight higher to my age than yours.'
 Louizy paused suddenly in her task and looked questioningly at the widow
 "Oh, I was jest a-thinkin'," the latter observed carelessly, biting juicily into a big apple. Me an Sam was allers good friends. Better stop now Louizy That's many es kin pack.
 Lyman Cottonwood was Ill the mar row lane between his turnip field and his tobacco patch stopping a gap in the fence when thudding of feet on the mellow earth drew his attention. A broad shouldered fellow was swinging briskly along with an ax on his shoulder.
 Hello, Unc' Lyme," he hailed cheerfully.
 Here, you, Sam Dorkins!" Ly- man barred his way with bell'gerent elbows. This we're lanes a private one, ef you want to know it. an you's gotter keep way from Louizy Cottonwood whether you want to know it CT not"
 'I ain't a-goin' to tote the lane off with me, ner Loizy either. l wasn't aimin' to stop we're. Didn't know es I'd spile the lane goin'
