laughed Pauline to herself. "The flowers
are such a splendid foil for him."
She shut her eyes in sheer safety Of
beauty. Not even the shabby man mop

the road, harmed the picture. AS he turned
In at the gate and looked about him with

m an easy way with Harry but there was
no false pride in her lover-brother and all
men were his friends until they proved
themselves his enemies. All except Owen.
She wondered why he so looked down on
Owen.
The shabby man. holding his hat between
his nervous hands. was evidently an ap-
plicant for work. Harry pointed to the
flower beds and the rose trees with a mood
OF inquiry. The man assented vaguely.
They came up the path together, making
their way towards the servants quarters
over the garage. Harry paused at the
arbored window and spoke smilingly to
Pauline.

eagerly and read:

our lions arrived last Thursday from Ger
many, and after the wedding the keeper will
exhibit them. If Harry won't come to see
me married, he'll come to see the lions.
Yours in furry.
SOPHIE M'CALLAN."
Pauline laughed again. It was like her
unconventional chum. Sophie, to arrange her
wedding with the same startling haste that
had marked all the breathless events Of her
life. The lions she mentioned are typical
Of her original ideas. She had suddenly
announced to her parents one day that she
was tired Of domestic animals and was going
to keep lions instead. And her amused and
amazed father had not only been forced to
yield. but to keep his eye out all over
Europe, Asia and Africa for new bargains in
wellbred lions ever since.
1t was also typical of Sophie that she had
selected from among all the dashing w0oers
at her heels, Walter Trumwell, simple and
sedate, who was Mortified by ner pranks and
shocked by her use Of slang, but who adored
her with the devotion of frightened puppy.
Their engagement had been long announced.
1t was only in Its high-handed abruptness
that the wedding was surprise.
Pauline dropped the letter on the table
and hurried from the room to look for Harry.
AS she passed through the hall, Raymond
Owen greeted her. She nodded brightly to
him and hurried on. Her happy excitement
drew his attention. and he followed her with
his eyes as she ran out to the veranda.
Harry had heard her first call and was
coming in from the garage He paused at
the door Of the library, where he had last
seen her, and he narrowly avoided a collision
with Owen, who was hurrying out. The look
of covert guilt on the secretary's face
aroused his latent suspicion. But Owen,
quickly recovering himself, bowed apologized
and passed on.
Harry stepped into the library. He saw
the open letter on the table, looked at the
envelope and saw that he was included in
the address. He read the letter, and the old
look of trouble came into his eyes as he
turned to see If Owen were watching.
AS he stepped into the hall he saw the
Secretary leaving the house. He stood in
the doorway and watched Owen depart in
his own machine. driven by his own
chauffeur, = sullen young fellow whom the
other employees held in aversion.
He seems to be up to something" NUT
tered Harry to himself. Il wonder what
harm he could do at the McCallan wedding"
The thought sat deeply on his mind ~ he
moved down the steps and out to where the
new gardener was working. The man had
been greatly improved as to cleanliness and
clothes. but there was stin the strange dis

She studied the face again. It had q
peculiar fascination for her. It seemed the
living likeness OF one whom she had seen
dead.
Suddenly her searching thoughts chrys
talized and she sprang up. She rushed
again to the front door, carrying the maya
zine, open. She saw Harry and the gard
ener talking on the path. She ran down to
them.
The gardener took OF his hat. but Pauline
looked at him with such piercing scrutiny

Between
Ourselves

President John Grier Hibben. Of
Princeton, in his annual bacca-
laureate sermon yesterday. told
the members OF the graduating
class that life presents so many
repetitions, so much that is or
binary, that we accept the course
6fseVery- day events as the COM
monplace OF human experience
and live on and on, adding year
to year without desire or effort
TO comprehend its deeper mean
ing
IL is doubtless true that every
we'll ordered life is but series Of
repetitions. but as President Hib-
hen further says, there are still a
few men and women who have
SUFFICIENT romance and imagina-
ton in their make-ups TO create
interesting situations out of COM
mpppiace happenings.
Romantic people are always
happier than unromantic folks.
They get REAL enjoyment out OF
life and, as rule, they LIVE
longer and better than the poor
souls who see nothing but the
cold, practical side Of things.
an individual Of romsntic
type is an individual to be envied.
