and was a stranger there. He had
worked too hard for FIVE years for
great oil concern in the city and had
broken down. Valued and popular,
the giant monopoly had given him two

into the country and build up.
It was dull at the dead little town

week, however, fresh air, brisk walks,
real cream and home cooking had al

He had come upon her midway on a
rustic bridge crossing a narrow but

that she was in direful distress. She
had been carrying half covered up in
light wrap the black cat in question.
1t had given a sudden leap for free
dom. The animal missed the rail aimed
for, and with a resounding yawf and
splash struck the water and disap-
peared under it.
There was vivid scream from the
young lady. To Croft 1t sounded quite
heartrending. A true knight Fidelis,
he acted on the spur Of the moment.
The cat did not seem to have the
strength to struggle. 1t had come to
the surface twice. Croft leaped light

came. The moment her face turned
into view a change was wrought, all

toilet accessories making themselves
apparent in an evident attempt to
conceal the fact that she was of

its conclusion he turned to the pris.

That same day Croft was abba to be
up and about. The next he essayed
one of his customary walks-of course
towards the woodland cottage. He
passed by it several times. It be-

hand, the tears chased away by genu-
inc pleasure over his convalescence.
She was still SO grateful for his kind

cause of his illness-a rush of words,

wasn't having trouble with her ser.
wants.

We've got three!"
Then he dashed off, leaving Mrs.
Knoall gasping. Three servants, in
deed! Why. it was common known
edge in Suburbvilse that the Newly
weds were anything but rich. How
on earth, then. could they afford to
keep three servants? Mrs. Knoall felt
forced to call on the bride that after
noon to make investigations.
On his return home in the evening
Mr.. Newlywed was greeted with this
question:
John. whatever made you tell Mrs.
