Gartmany walked out Of the rail-
road station briskly. Ada would have
a nice, restful visit, and meanwhile
he had to get home to greet Like
more. They had dinner together and
Gartmany was surprised to find that
Likemore was strikingly devoid OF
tact Likemore said outright that he
didn't care for that kind of lemon
pie-and 1t was Ada's favorite recipe,
which she had taught the cook Then
they smoked and talked on the front
porch and watched the moon, and
both of them yawned before $50
o'clock.
Lets turn IN" said Gartmany. TO
morrow Wen have in some OF the
fellows and have real old talkfest!
I'm tired tonight"
Six of the old crowd gathered there
the following evening and there was
a lot of laughter and fun, and Cart
many enjoyed himself hugely till they
left and he surveyed the house.
"Consarn them!" he grumbled to
Likemore. Look at the place! Re
sembles a residence struck by a cy-
clone. Here is a cigar stub that has
burned right into the mahogany
who was fool enough to lay it down
there, I'd like to know? Ouch! Who
left that pitcher on the stair step?
Well, the maid can clean up tomor-
row. I'll make it all right with her.
l never remember the crowds being
so careless before"
why, | didn't notice any differ
ence," said the surprised Likemore.
1T was just like old times!"
was it?" asked Gartmany, dubi-
obviously
They went to the club the next
night and when Gartmany thought
It must be about three o'clock in the
morning and they started for home
he found it was 1890.
well, there weren't many there we
knew" he told Likemore. "And then
there wasn't anything to do but bill
lizards"

get enough of the game" said Like
more You kicked frightfully last
time at stopping because you had

lovingly.
After that he and Gartmore had
hard time thinking up things to do.
They went to a summer garden and
walked around lonesomely and Cart
many said the music was very slow.
They stayed home and yawned in
each others faces and Gartmany got
snappy. He had never noticed before
how feeble was Likemore's wit. The
house looked queer. He jumped at
the stiffness OF It. Whenever he went
into the living room he mechanically
looked to see Ada in her accustomed
chair, and then scowled and pretend
cd he had come to open the cigar Jar.
Besides, there were two days when
he did not get a letter.
