The transfer CT one-fourth or the Ger.

overcame these difficulties but con-

| was a tramp. He wanted poy little
silk purse but the bear fright
ened him away; he came SO suddenly
the bear did, that is. In another in
stant that dreadful man would have
had my bag. Not that l would have
cared so much about the money, you
know" she added a trif1e APOLOGIZE
cally, "but l have registered letters
in it for my father. l have just come
from the post Office, and if they had
been lost but, perhaps, you
| do not understand English?"
"Oh, yes!" said Pedro, taking his
eyes from her slender throat and
flashing a brilliant smile at her. "Oh,
yes, indeed, l understand you!"
"Then please let me thank you,
| said she, her interest in him growing
| every moment.
But there is nothing for which l
may receive thanks!" he protested.
Actually, she seemed to consider the
| bears introduction sufficient. Fun
blingly he removed his wide, soft hat
and clasped it upon his heart with
both hands How she stared! Wait
ing for him to speak again, she gave
her chin a tilt which accentuated that
heavenly line. Involuntarily he pic
tured drapery behind it, his artists
soul longing to depict it. Like Ma
donna.
"It should be blue!" he said aloud in
a queer, choked voice.
What did you say?" asked the girl
with a puzzled expression.
At realization of his speech his con-
fusion became complete, and suddenly
his one idea was to escape her watch
full eyes.
"I-that is to say, er-it was Mr..
Jones entirely" he stammered, II
did nothing, NADIA! 1t was all the
BEAR"
But he is your bear, evidently" she
replied, "and 1 insist that he share
the thanks with you
Thank you'll" said Pedro eagerly.
"You do not knowt the exquisite de-
light-er-ah-oh!" Gasping, he
sought to eXtricate himself from the
awkwardness of the impulsive compli-
ment he had half-blurted out.
Forgive me, gracious lady, er-er-
I must go now!" he finished lamely.
"Well, 1 give you my most grateful
thanks, whether you take them or
not" said she with a smile.
But he was now too embarrassed to
rally and did what one often does
upon attaining desired situation: be-
came suddenly panicky and ran away
from it.
'T shall hold your words in my
heart" said he, and then, with ges-
ture half beseeching, half apologetic,
and wholly graceful, he swept his hat
upon his head, and, calling the bear,
set off down the road.
The wording Of his speech was odd
and unexpected, and the manner OF
his departure so precipitant that it
looked like retreat For as long as
he remained in sight she stood gazing
after him, her interest in him cement
ed by his flight. With sigh she was
scarcely conscious of uttering, so faint
it was, she reluctantly turned in at
the gate in the hedge and went slowly
along the little winding path.

only a moment later than the bear.
The fragrant branches whipped across
the boys face as he rushed past,
emerging breathless upon the high
way. A dramatic scene awaited him.
Down the road thoroughly fright
rifying and wholly unexpected appa-
rition of the bear, cloud Of dust en-
veloping his Mortified retreat Close
to the gateway, her purse clasped fran
tically to her bosom, stood a girl, be-
wildered and alarmed-a girl whom
the last sunbeams bathed in glory,
cleaning on her hair that was red
gold, like Soy." And to complete the
picture, there stood Mr.. Jones, erect
upon his hind legs, his tongue lolling
out and his clumsy paws waving from
her to Pedro.
1t was an introduction.
That she was almost as much
frightened by the bear as by the
tramp, whose attempted robbery the
animals sudden appearance had frus-
trated, was clear. At sight of Pedro
she screamed again.
"Oh! the bear! Help, help! Oh,
take him away!" she cried
"Abas!" said Pedro sharply, address
ing his pet. But Mr.. Jones did not
obey Immediately. and for moment
the three stood as if transixed. Then
the bear dropped to all fours, and the
spell of the tableau was broken.
"Oh, how fortunate that you were
near" she began breathlessly. 'It
