At this Dan glanced up and smiled
what Lily. Duchess Of Breakwater.

The two secretly were ashamed-he
was charming.
As they got out Of the motor Dan
said:
II want to ask question Of Prince
Poniotowsky-if It is allowed. Ill
write It on my card"
r After a conference between Prince
Poniotowsky's seconds and Dams. the
slip was handed the prince.
IF you get out all right, will you
marry Miss Lane7 I shall be glad to
know"
The Hungarian, who read 1t under
the tree, half smiled. The naivete OF
It, the touching youth Of 1t. the crude
lack of form-was perfect enough to
touch his sense of humor. On the
back Of Dams card Poniotowsky
scrawled:
"Yes."

Tho Gentle Art Of Walking.

Walking. like angling, is an art;
and whereas. Edward Payson Weston
will never ride on a street car. being
a great pedestrian, good average
walker will take the trolley every
time, provided 1t carries him from the
city pavements. and enjoy his walk
to the full in the park or in the fields
and lanes Of the country. And al
though he may take no heed Of dis
tances or time spent on the road, this
qualified walker is no fair-weather
saunterer. Today you may see him
passing your gate in gum boots. to-
morrow he may surprise you in
pair Of tennis shoes; the noticeable
thing about him is. he walks. and en-
joys it He may be almost any man
