Regina's patience had been tried
to the limit.

TO BE ENGAGED

favorite prints and photographs, Re-
gina had place that was TO be all
her own.
One evening after Regina had !e-
tired to this sanctum with freshly
filled fountain pen and her brain full
OF ideas, her voice was heard in the
upstairs hall calling her brother Tom,
In none too gentle accents.
Tom left his books IN the living
room below and went two steps at a
time to see what his sister wanted.
He followed her into the attic and
there by the light of the shaded
desk lamp he saw the reason for his
hasty summons.
Regina pointed to Il group of cigar
ctte ends, and a box Of overturned
matches that lay on the blotter at the
end of her desk.
Tom, in spite of his feet of daunt-
loss manhood crumpled before his
sister.
I'm awfully sorry, sister," he
said, but to tell you the truth Har-
ry Titus, that tutor of mine, and
have no other place to go. You know
what IL is down in the living room
with Maud and the baby coming in
and out. 1t was Just my luck to for
get to clear up the cigarettes after

said Regina sternly. II find matches

forth a bundle of her manuscript
covered with Latin words written In
a masculine hand. "If that Mr.. III
tus did that, please see that he
doesn't repeat the offence Didn't
he know that this was my den?"
Tom promised faithfully never
again to Invade the sanctity of his
sisters den and returned to his books.
But the next day when the athletic
tutor refused to give his lesson in the
hubbub of Maud's little living room,

A moment OF silence followed, then
the steady clicking of a needle as it
worked its way over the blank part
OF the record, and the words began.
MY Dear Helen have tried to-
love you, but | cannot do so, | know
that you love me, but | --
cannot reciprocate--. Do not ~ en-
tertain any false hopes; -, II is
best for us to part. Yours sincerely,

With an exclamation of horror
Carter took the record and examined
IL carefully He found several mi
nute cracks in the cylinder-shaped
object and understood II all. The
record had been dropped and cracked,
probably by the messenger boy; the
cracked portions gave forth no CO.
herent sound as the needle passed
over them. His ardent ayowal. Of
love had been changed to sound like
a rejection OF Helen's protestation of
affections.
What could he do to repair the
damage, to set himself right In the
eyes of the woman he loved? III only
he had a blank record. he might sub
stitute 1t for the broken one and she
would understand when she set It
off at his request.
He searched the drawing room aad
found what he wanted. A moment
later, he adjusted the graphophone
and was reiteratlng his confession Of
love into the new record. Twice he
tried 1t, to make sure II was right,
and then he placed ii IN the box, slip
ping the cracked record into his
pocket.
