CHAPTER |.

Harry Swifton hummed song to
himself and threw little more speed
into his roadster.
He had every reason to be happy.
Long regarded as a settled bachelor,
though young enough to be the sort
of chap all the girls were setting their
caps for, he felt that this was to be
the really great day of his life. Lucy
Medders and her father were coming
TO visit him; his sister Carolyn was
coming home from boarding school
especially to play the hostess, the
home had been made spick and span
for the occasion, the sun was shining,
the little birds were singing in the
trees of the park, his roadster was
running smoothly and-well, he hadn't
a care in the world.
AS he took corners in the driveways
without slackening speed he muir

Not at all. She left early today, to

chuckled Harry. Are they having
special sales of sick friends?"
The general ignored the jest, as, In

going to attend luncheon where the
ladies were to meet this Count Won

Il met two of your wives at differ

rimoniai experiments of the general
were subjects of much comment.
She's not one of the two the gen
eral replied. They left me by way
of Reno long ago. I'm not BAN dit
sorry"
Harry laughed again, for when the
general became excited it was his
habit to get his words twisted, some
times with ludicrous effect.
The general regarded. Harry S

hand on Harry's shoulder, "let me give

you will, however. And when you

"Dont?"

Having delivered himself Of this
sage observation, the general stalkeo

farewell, and started out to bumI

exclaimed the newcomer, in thin
high, weepy voice.
"Br-r-r-r!' grumbled the general

The newcomer glided in. His long
dank hair hung down to his collar. his
white, thin hands plucked with melan
choly grace at the roycroft tie he was
wearing, and his eyes, which were
set deep in his head cleaned weirdly

"I'd like to know what there is in

Pigeon.
"Oh, nothing much" Pigeon
chuckled. "But maybe that picture OF

Come right in general" Harry
said. General Blazes, pompous, irasci-
BILE and dignifed, was Harrys attor-
ney in several matters having to do
with the estate left him by his fa-
ther. He entered the room as gravely
and as impressively as though he
were approaching the bench of the
United States Supreme court, and
said:
Good morning, boy. Here"-taking
a packet from his inside pocket
here are the deeds all duly signed
and sealed. believe you will need
no further advice from me-"
Thank you, general" Harry said,

'Why-what's happened? What's

the ballet girls to the attic for much
needed rest"
He was just about to take the ballet
girl picture from the wall, when he
was startled by an angry argument in
the hallway. One voice was that of a
woman, another that of the butler
and the third the broken accents OF
the German into whose auto Harry
had smashed.
Great guns" he exclaimed
They've trailed me down"
Into the room rushed the pair.
"You!" both cried.

country road. Something happened
the machine skidded, with the usual
result.
When Harry came to his senses he
was lying on an old-fashioned hair
sofa, in an oldfashioned Quaker
home-but he thought he was in
heaven
Above him bent a Quaker damsel,
demurely beautiful and distractingly
calm. She was bathing his brow with
a cloth wrung out of cold water to
which some camphor had been added.
DO thee feel better?" she asked, in
the softest of tones.
4 1T depends" he managed to say.
IF you're going to stop this because
I'm better, I'm going to have a re-
lapse"
Then into the room came stalwart
old Quaker.
Has the young man recovered,
Lucy?" he asked.
Yes, father" she said. Harry sat
up, with an effort.
Il don't know how to thank you,
sir" he said. 1T was lucky that
went into the ditch right in front of
your house."
With the word lucky" he looked
meaningly at Lucy, but that self-pos
sessed maiden did not seem to catch
his double meaning.
The result Of the accident is not
hard to guess. Harry found himself
so bumped and bruised that it took a
fortnight for him to be well enough to
return to his home. And in that fort
night he and Lucy became so well ac-
quainted that 1t then became neces-
sary for him to run up to see her
a mere matter of hundred miles
once every week And now he had
induced her father to bring her to visit
him and his sister.
He reviewed In his mind the events
of the days since the accident. Pleas
ant thoughts, those, for a young man.
They take his mind off the immediate
surroundings, however.
Automatically he whirled around
another corner-then began doing
things with the brake, but too late
Twenty yards before him approached
another auto. In 1t sat a couple OBJ
livious to their danger There was a
smash and a crash, shrek and a
yell. And then the three people picked
themselves up.
The man in the other auto leaped
to his feet first and shook his fists
at Harry. The lady gathered her hair
into a coil again and exclaimed:
MY hat My beautiful hiatt"
Harry followed the direction of her
glance, and saw the object of her dis
may. A handsome hat of yellow
straw, adorned with large red flowers.

change his clothes and be ready to
go to the station to meet Mr.. Medders
and Lucy Pigeon Williams met
him. Pigeon, as he was affectionately
called, was young man who tried
his best to be a chum of Harry--for
the reason that he was unusually at
tracted by Harry's sister Carolyn. 1t
was natural that Pigeon should be at
Swifton's that morning. He wanted
to help Harry have things ready to
entertain Lucy and her father, and
besides he thought it would cheer
Carolyn up to see one of her old
friends on her own arrival
rs Carolyn here?" Harry asked, as
he came in.

Careful plans, are being laid to

Eight girls and four men were

Among the girls was Miss JOS
