well, slightly"
Il do believe that I am about to
stumble upon a second version of An
Old Sweetheart of Mine,'" she said
gaily.
mo indeed" he replied, such
things only happen in long while. In
reality I think it is Whom first we
love we seldom wed, and after all I
think it's best, for ones ideals change
as one grows older and"
Look, the gates closed" cried
Kathleen.
Devlin hastily consulted his watch
But it is eight minutes before ski
don't understand it."
Perhaps the keeper is still near
Suppose you call, !" suggested Kathleen.
Devlin shouted with all his might,
but to no avail. He then tried to
break off some of the planks by throw
ing himself against them, but failure
was the result.
Il must try again" he said cheer
fully; your friends will be getting
uneasy about you, will they not?"
IT suppose so" hesitatingly, as the
thought came that after all she was
not so eager to return where every
one was against her and for the pop
ular Archie, whom her friends had de-
cided was the very man for her. She
might have liked him if the others had
not tried so hard to make it come to
pass. And now she was glad, since
she had met Devlin. Then she sudden
ly blushed with shame as she realized
What fancy she was harboring for
this man who was almost stranger.
Il can climb that big tree, get out
on that large branch and drop over
the fence said Devlin, then can find
some one to open the gate and let you
out"
Let me out! am going with you"
Good! But how?" asked Devlin,
somewhat puzzled.
"The same way you CO."
IAN all-round athletic girl" he
agreed.
mo, no, don't call me that. 1t sounds
so absurd when l don't look it. Be
sides, ! do those things because I love
them, don't you? The woods and the
water just call me"
Il see, but few girls understand the
call Most Of them follow outdoor
sports because it is a fad. Really
though, do you think it quite wise for
you to try that tree? You might get
dizzy"
mo l won't and we'd better hurry

died against the iron bars cried out, as
she felt his sustaining touch: "Oh,
Archie, Archie, knew you would
come to mel"
Several hours later, after their ad-
venture had been laughed over and
the adventurers properly fed, Devlin
was walking in the garden enjoying
his pipe in spite of the lame shoulder
and the chagrin he felt when he re-
called the ending of the afternoon.
What a sorry figure he had cut when
he rushed to the rescue only to have
the distressed lady give all the credit
to another man. He could see that at
one end Of the porch Kathleen was
again in possession of her hammock.
And near, very near by, was Archie
Hagood, the picture of content But
Devlin was far from contented and his
thoughts strayed to Marjorie and lin
gered there Ashamed of his unfaith-
fulness to her in the afternoon, very
heartily ashamed Of his quarrel with
her in which he could now see his
unreasonable attitude, he was in
spirit at the feet Of his old sweetheart.
His restless feet carried him to the
pansy bed and he recalled his school
boy name for her, Heartease. He
plucked a dark velvety one that was
somehow like her eyes in the moon
light, and held it against his cheek
as he went toward the house.

before II sets sc late"
Very well. You go first so I can
help you. Just put your foot in my
hand and fancy you are mounting a
tall horse, and I'll swing you up so you
can catch that branch" He was SO
skillful with his light burden that she
went up like bird and was soon set
tied on one of the branches.
Devlin scrambled up after her Cau-
tiously he worked his way out on the
overhanging limb to see if it would
bear his weight. He was just beyond
the fence, ready to swing himself to
the ground, when an ominous creall
simultaneous with a scream from
Kathleen proclaimed that the branch
was breaking. Before he had time to
think he was on the ground, outside
the inclosure, it is true, but with his
face scratched and for a moment al
most stunned, but Kathleen's voice,
asking if he was hurt, caused him to
arouse himself and sit up. He could
lust see her over the top of the fence
and through the wires. They gazed
at each other in dismay. But gradual
ly the ludicrous picture he presented
caused Kathleen to smile and then
they laughed till the echoes rang.
81 will go for help and will be back
in 20 minutes" said DeYlin.
When a turn in the path showed
him a well kept public road he waved
his hat to her and sang in his fresh
voice: Some day I'll take you home,
Kathleen" Then he disappeared.
Kathleen felt lonely. But the novel
ty of the situation kept her amused,
and she wondered if it was merely the
rarity of their adventure that made
her feel so warmly near to this CHEEKY
Young man. He was big and hand
some, too, and his keen blue eyes were
full of laughter and light. Could it be
that the man, whom that morning she
had feared might not be in existence
for her, had at last put in an appear
ance? She chided herself for her bold
ness but could not keep her soul from
dreaming. Huddling her feet on the
broad branch and leaning against the
trunk, she glided into reverie as
elusive as the afterglow which lin
gered in the western sky After a
while she was startled by the cry Of a
whip-poor-will Again she listened,
but heard nothing except the signing
trees, which seemed to say: you
are alone, alone" She never before
knew such terror
The familiar face of the rising
moon brought her companionship and
when she recovered from her fright
the reaction came, and with it hot
anger against the man who had left

here said the man.
Kathleen's spirits visibly dropped at
this news. But the sexton gave them
some help by suggesting a short cut
through the cemetery, which would
save them about a mile He warned
them that they must be at the other
gate by six o'clock, the closing hour
Kathleen was not so weary now, and
each step seemed to revive her natural
cheerfulness. Devlin was trying to
think where he had met her, for her
face was strikingly familiar.
"How serious you are. Some
weighty problem must be pressing
heavily upon you" began Kathleen,
her own talkative self again.
Il fear you will think me ungallant,
but was wondering where l had met
you"
You never met me at ALL" with a
merry laugh.
"But you said you had known me a
long time" he urged.
so 1 have, but 1 never saw you
until today"
The plot thickens; may l ask how
you have known me?"
Through my friend Marjorie Man
ming" she replied, watching him
keenly.
He seemed unaware of her scrutiny.
$50 you know Marjorie. You must be
one of her college friends, but which
one?"
Kathleen Fielding"
"Then l know you, too" he ex-
claimed, both through my sister and
Miss Manning"
They were now well into the un-
cleared part of the cemetery which
just here was more like a glade in the
woods. He helped her break off great
punches Of the azalea. thinking all the
while how, like this pretty wild flower,
Miss Fielding was with her pink
cheeks and fair hair Her golden
brown eyes were aglow with delight
in her fragrant burden, and she ap-
peared as happy as a child who had re-
covered a long lost toy.
They are the first I've had in SO
long" she said, "and used to love
them so when | was little. would
play like these bells were ladies. But,
after somewhat of a pause, Il suppose
you had little playmate, didn't your"
"Oh, yes. | played with her, carried
her books, and waited on her at all
times"
And she tyrannized over you Of

gaily,

her to be a prey to the terrors Of the
night. Only last night she and Archie
were walking in the moonlight and he
had told her of his great love. And
how had. she answered? She knew
that she had caused him to leave that
morning oh, why had she done it.?
He would even now be looking for her
had she not been so unresponsive.
And to think Of wasting any regard on
Devlin! She felt that to see Archie
would be the greatest Joy on earth.
And how she hated Devlin who was, of
course, responsible for all this!
After Devlin turned into the main
road he walked hurriedly down the
pike hoping to meet some one who
could direct him to the home Of the
sexton. So engrossed was he that he
was right upon a small store by the
roadside before he saw it, Entering
hastily he rather startled the proprie-
tor and his son, the latter mechanical
ly asking if he wished anything.
Eyes, l want some help" said Dew
lin, and related his story, ending with
the query if the boy would show him
the way to the sections house.
Before he could reply another man
came into the store and became an in
terested spectator whats the-trou-
BILE, Scott?" he asked.
The story was retold and both men
laughed immoderately.
A trap driving to the door interrupt
ed them and a clear feminine voice
called: ooh Mr.. Scott-Why Norris,
I was just looking for you boys. But
where is Kathleen?"
Isn't she at homer" The young
man on the front seat of the trap lost
his absent-minded air and became in
terested.
"She's in the cemetery" added Dew
Inns weary voice. The young man on
the front seat was visibly startled.
What do you mean?" Mrs Vance
inquired, paling a little, and then
"Oh, George, how did you ever get so
scratched up?"
I'VE must hurry to the cemetery
now and talk after She is inside and
probably half dead from fright by this
time"
He hastily climbed into the trap
telling the old darky to hang on some
way While Devlin was answering his
sisters rapidly put questions the
young man on the front seat was driv
ing at a reckless speed in his eager
ness to save every moment possible
When they arrived at the gate he
hardly waited to check the horses be-
fore springing out and rushing to the
rescue, beating Devlin by several |
yards. The disheveled little girl hud- |
