What in thunder are you doing hereP
This town is quarantined against you"
said CASTOR.
Hush said Bob. in a stage whis-
per. She's here. There's her valise"
That's why you can't land. Two's
company. three's a crowd. like you.
Bob. but won't stand for this"
The crowd was pouring off the train
and had cut off Sallies party in the
center of the car.
Castor. / just came up for your
sake. I'm looking after Miss Lowell.
I'm lost. ruined. Scared to say q
word. thought maybe you'd help me
out. Well pool chances. I'll talk for
you and you talk for me-"
Its bargain. st. Clare"
II want separate carriage-get me
one quick
In a few moments, the brief intro
duction over. CASTOR was seated in
the carriage facing Sallie and her
mother. whirling along the road. over
the long hills toward the Campbell
Sulphur Springs in the woods. two
miles from the town.
How beautiful and fresh she looked
to him even in Il dusty travelling dress!
| He was drinking the nectar from the
| depths Of her eyes.
"Now. don't you think Helen the pref
test girl you ever saw. Mr.. Gaston?"
she asked. 90
II hadn't noticed it,
where were your eyes?"
ELSEWHERE. I'm so glad you are GO
| ing to spend month at the Springs.
Miss Sallie. l used to go to school
there when little boy. They had
| girls school there in the winter and
boys under twelve were admitted. |
know every nook and corner of the big
forest back of the hotel. I'll see that
| you don't get lost"
That will he fine. But you must
bring every good looking boy in the
county and make him bow down and
worship Helen. She is not used to it.
but she is tickled to death over these
sout bern boys. and I'm going to give
her the best time she ever had in her
life
"Ill do everything you command-ex-
i cept bow down myself. Bob's agreed
to do that
She smiled in spite of her effort to
look serious. and her mother pinched
her arm. She laughed.
i $50 YOU and Bob st. Clare were out
there plotting before we could get out
of the train.
Nothing unlawful. l assure you"
The first day she allowed Castor to
monopolize. and then began his tor
ture. She declared there were others
y with whom she must Ee friendly. She
determined to give ball to Helen the
next week. and began preparations.
1t was new business for Castor.
but he did his best to please her, in a
pathetic. halfhearted sort of way. He
i ran all sorts of errands. and executed
her orders with tact.
"Oh. Sallie. let the ball go! | don't
care for it. | can do nothing to ever
repay you for the good time I've been
having said Helen. as they sat in
her room one night.
I'VE are going to have it, tell you.
don't care how much Mr.. Charles
CASTOR sulks. I'm not taking orders
from him.
mo: but you'd like to-you know it. -
What an idea!'
You know you like him better than
. all the others put together"
Nonsense. I'm as free as bird!'
'"Then what are you blushfng for?"
"I'm not" But her face was scarlet.
"You southern girls are so queer.
The moment you like man you're as
sly as u cat and deny that you even
3 know him. When find the man l
love ! don't care who knows it if he
loves me-"
What do you think of Bob st.
= Clare?'
: II like him."
Hasn't he made love to you yet?'
NO: and the only one of the crowd
J. who hasn't. | don't mind confessing
" that | never had love made to me be-
- fore this visit In Boston it's seri-
= GUS thing for yonng man to call once.
The second call means family coun'

t declaration of his intentions or face
I consequences. Down here the boys
don't seem to have anything to dc
