John Dillon had loved and wood
Enid Vance, not so much from the
amer workings OF the masculine heart
toward the feminine as for other mo
'tives. He had selected Enid as a
fitting mate. Her cheeks were Grim
son with the Vigor of health and her
step elastic. To associate her with
the rearing of anything but 40 fine
race Of men was to doubt truth
itself.
With this in view Dillon had pro.
posed to and been rejected by Enid
she having chosen to bestow her hand
and heart upon the less serious minded
Billy Langhorn.
The week following the blasting OF
his hopes found Dillon escaping into
the country where he wanted to for.
get the vital expression Of Ends eyes
and the crimson Of her lips. Then,
TOO, his book upon Child Life land

1T was lin the heart Of the woods,
while he was thus engrossed, that
wan-eyed, anemic, Elsie Lane passed
him by.
John Dillon cast but q fleeting
glance at her; he was in no way In.
terested in girls since Enid had turned
him down, and least Of all would care

listless figure of Elsie Lane.

the remark that her chickens were
growing fore food.
John Dillonis book on Modern Par
entage' did not progress so well that
day nor the next. Instead, he found
himself admiring the gin who could
% successfully build up her mental
and bodily ills BY sheer good sense
and perseverance.
a Thoughts and consequent depres-
sion which had been wont to trouble
him when he remembered Enid be-
came less frequent Once or twice
he found himself comparing the rudy
crimson Of Ends cheeks with the deli
cate blush rose that was beginning to
sweep timidly into Elsie's. The vag-
airy Of the smile in Elsie Lanes eyes
charmed him now more than the I'M
changing vital sparkle IN tie eyes Of
Enid.
One morning when he passed the
cottage Elsie was too absorbed by
cluster of children about her knees
eveA TO see him. When he arrived in
the seclusion of the woods he kicked
an unnifending wild flower. During the
day his thoughts strayed back to the
picture Of Elsie and the children. A
sense Of speevishness stole over him
and he realized with jerk OF his
thoughts that he was jealous-jealous
Of the tiny children with whom Elsie
was happy.
He came to stop in his walk John
Dillon was confronted with the Ger.
tain knowledge that he had fallen in
love with a girl without regard for
her suitability as a wife. He was
startled by the fact that he wanted
her for herself, for her whimsical
smile and her fascinating trickeries
Of voice and eyes.
p In his desire to forget his longing
for her he plunged into work on his
book and found that 1t progressed
with an easy flow of understanding
marking its pages. When he had
spent day of splendid work he felt
that he must approach the girl who
had inspired him.
On his way toward the cottage the
whole thing dawned on him.
Elsie Lane was the one girl in the
world to fit into his scheme of life
Any girl who had the strength to do
what she had doHe-any girl who
could turn the white roses in her own
cheeks to pink might turn a nation of
children into whatsoever she desired.
Dillon quickened his pace.
Twilight had dimmed the garden
when he found her. She was just en-.
tering the door with a basket of fresh
eggs from the nests.
Have one" she called, when Dillon
stopped at the gate.
81 am coming in," he made answer.
and the new glad note in his voice
sent her glance quickly toward MIN.
Il don't want an egg" he told her
without preamble, "hut want every.
thing else in the world want you"
In the semi-darkness Dillon watched
the blood rush up even to the gold OF
her hair. She laughed Quickly-a
trifle unsteadily. "But am not vital,
nor strenuous, nor"
John Dillon had taken her in his
arms and his lips rested on the roses
that were her cheeks, the violets that
were her eyes, and lastly on the poppy
that was her mouth.
Nor anything, Elsie, but-mine,"
he said.
