John Dillon had loved and wood
Enid Vance, not SO much from tine
finer workings of the masculine heart
toward the feminine as for other mo-
tives. He had selected Enid as
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 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 and
Modern Parentage" would progress the
quicker for the seclusion of the coun'
try lanes.
1t was in the heart of the woods
while he was thus engrossed, that
wan-eyed. anemic. Elsie Lane passed
him by.
John Dillon cast but n feeting
glance at her: he was in no way In
terested In girls since Enid had turned
him down, and least Of all would care
to rest his eyes upon the dropping
Iistless figure Of Elsie Lane.
The girl. in turn, watched him
with covert scrutiny. Rumor had II
that this man was going about the
village expressing more or less unfiat
tering opinions regarding the lack of
well-balanced. healthy women In the
world.
Elsie had taken these opinions a.
personal. Beneath the temporary list
lessness OF her manner there was q
something that had caught fire at his
words. Elsie realized that she herself
was wan-eyed and pale. but that was
because her heart was broken and
her life ruined. Hadn't her father re
fused to let her marry Jack Rollins?
Although she was incensed at John
Dillon for his slurring remarks. she
realized that he was splendid man

When she arrived home after seeing
Dillon, she informed her father that
she intended taking possession Of the
little cottage beside the woods.
Il want to try the outdoor life. dad

rots."
Her father glanced Quickly at her
from under heavy eyebrows. Had his
daughters mind finally given way un-
der the strain? Would 1t have been
better to let her throw herself away
on worthless scamp than?
Elsie's laugh interrupted his
thoughts. He breathed q sigh Of re-
lief. 1t was the old.time spontaneous
laugh that he had longed for.
II only want to get back to pink
roses-here." she told him. laying a
finger on her pale cheeks. "and there
is nothing in the world like carrots"
1t was thus that John Dillon. pass
ing the cottage on his way to the
woods. saw girl groveling in the
garden with trowel and spade. He
raised his hat when she smiled at him
from beneath her lashes. because he
remembered having met her at one of
the village musicales.
Three weeks later he saw her again
and this time stopped to admire the
riot Of flowers she had planted beside
the wide veranda.

suggested happily. You look too SOM
