1t was on the morning following that
our matchmaking schemes took a
more decisive turn, and the situation
which I had resolved to let strictly
alone began of itself to develop in a
way that really seemed crucial. or l
had better say, final.
Dearest and / were playing q fast
game of tennis on the court down by
the lodge, which was in better condi-
ton than the ones nearer the castle,
and were hard at it, with the satisfy.
ing consciousness that things were 60
ing well with our loverers pervading
every stroke. We had observed with
pleasure on the evening previous that
Archibald had done nothing but de-
vote himself to Agatha Sixth, and had
brought his devotion in public to
well-managed termination by inviting
the girl out for stroll on the terrace

seeing each other! Time-honored and
time-worn, but as good as new to each
fresh pair of lovers! And from this
moonlight walk, Agatha had augured,
and I had hoped. great things.

had seen them depart for a drive to

The bequest comes from an aunt, Mrs.

persons named Agatha, all whom have

to invite two Of them to a party at the
castle and have Archie there as one Of
the guests. Archie accepts the invitation
and the Vincents discuss his prospects in
all their varied bearings. He listens to
their descriptions of the two Agatha's
and decides that the sixth shall be his
choice. Agatha first and Agatha sixth
arrive at the castle. Agatha the Sixth
strikes Archie as a handpainted beauty.
Agatha First is a breezy American girl.
Only eight days remain for Archie to Sc
