 The Watermelon laughed. ''Aws cot out the conversation" said he ifI will be right back" .ssA slie 2 50 will T." said Billy.
 Now the Watermelon objected. He did not feel equal to a tetea-tete with the adorable Billy. adorable still, though a bit cross. ,
 "Cut out the conversation" min icked Billy, and scrambled with ,mote speed than grace under the broken bars of the worm-eaten fence. s si
 The Watermelon leaped the. fence after her. Henrietta slipped under the fence after the Watermelon. Bartistt kesitated one moment, glanced guilt By at the deserted general and then followed Henrietta. s5es
 Billy and the Watermelon were young and light of foot and soon out distanced the stout Bartlett, who did his gallant best to keep up with the nimble Henrietta. but found that the years of good living told against him.
 Henrietta waited politely for him at the stone wall which Billy had just scaled and the Watermelon jumped,
 Henrietta sat down on the wall and Bartlett leaned beside her. gazing over the field to the distant woods. He felt thoroughly comfortable and contented. No matter what happened now, Bat chelor could not reach the city by Sat ursay. The cotton ring was saved.
 Henrietta drew a quick sigh of pleasure and fell silent, with dream ing eyes wandering into the mysteri- ous shades of the distant woodland, her hunger for the time forgotten.
 Bartlett broke in upon her reveries. "See that hlll?" and he waved toward the slope ahead of them. Henrietta nodded. stin wrapped in ! her dream. "The hill of life" said sine. with glory at it's top" "A railroad" said Bartlett, prosa- ically matter-of-fact, "a railroad has ] been cut through the hill See, there go the children, suddenly out of sight. 9 l Henrietta came back to earth. "How do you know? Maybe there is just a steep incline the other side and that is why they disappeared SO | quickly"
 NO, there is a cut up there. Don't you notice how abrupt it looks, and i there as- no trees or bushes. They i haven't ilSd time to grow since the cut was made. And those big Jumps, see covered with grass, they are the saFt'I thrown up out Of the cut"
 Henrietta nodded and frowned "There Is no more romance, and she I threw out her hands with a graceful | gesture of hopeless disappointment eIt went when the first steam-engire came.'
 Bartlett looked at her. amused, Efith 2 mans tolerance. What dc gcu want romance for? A railroad uavs better"
 Pays, pays, pays" cried Henrietta 'T want something that doesn't pay | that isn't associated with returns Eog men have nothing but a handbook fol a heart. It's so lovely here, SO quiet Don't you feel it? With the shadows 1 creeping across the pasture? ' wa' young and beautiful-7
 And princess"
 TSo. 6 goose maid. My hair wa, brown and thick and hung over aaci shoulder in two long braids. va bare-headed. with sleeves rolled to th' elbows Of my shapely arms"
 You would have got malaria. ssiC Bartlett. its very damp here think there must be a pond over ther' in the woods. You can hear the frogs. "oh, yes,1 agreed Henrietta would have had malaria and rheuma tism, but I wouldn't have cared, ths' flor you see, I had come after tn. geese, and down here in the tiny glen with the hush of the evening over all I had met him"
 "who? Me?"
 "My lover," said Henrietta.
 Me" said Bartlett softly, and tt 1 Henrietta's surprise he laid his han, gently on hers.
 Henrietta hlushed and looked away Her lover. this stout. grim. hard-eye' man of business? Had romance com to her thus late. in this guise? Was niddle-aged member Of the New Yorl 1 Stock Exchange her prince?
 Henrietta he asked gently, leanini toward her. shall finish the story? !?
 Why. mo-" said Henrietta. ~ther was no finish. It had just begun"
