danced there in the moonlight.

Clara had run down the steps, leav-
ing the swing vibrating somewhat jerk
lily from the speed Of her abandonment
Of it, declaring that she wished to get
a sight of the elder Mr.. Wallace, even
If he did not choose to stop and talk
when he came up. She had noted that
the chauffeur, seeing the father and
o approach, had already started his
engine. Her desertion left Broadway
and Josie in the swing alone together.
He laughed. Did you notice that?
She calls him Bob 1 heard him call
her Clara 16 times today"
Josie smiled. yes; / noticed that"
Jackson vas strangely intent upon
her nswer He was confused, although
he did not know the reason why. And
then, suddenly, he knew. Finding that
he knew, he found himself still more
confused.
did you notice it?" he asked, with
intense ear~nestness, knowing, some
how, that he was an ass. 81 didn't
think you noticed it."
Josie thrilled, but found it hard to
smother laughter-not wholly that OF
ridicule, mostly that of jo~yousness. She
made 10 other answer.
He looked around them at the broad
veranda, with its pillared, old colonial
doorway and wide windows; his eyes
paused along the visible front of the
enormous house itself, surveyed the
spreading lawn, now dusky with the
evening shadows of magnificent old
trees. and the curving graveled drive,
examined all, indeed, thatSh he could see
of the superb and spacious old Jones
place.
Nice little house, isn't it?" ha
asked,
ooh, I just love it," 1t was, indeed,
the show place of the town, and few
were the local maidens who had not
dreamed dreams of some time living in
a mansion like it-dreamed wonder
ing dreams, speculative of unguessed
sensations Of vast wealth.

why yes. Don't you?"
Eyes," said Broadway, now looking
not at the great house or any portion
OF the splendid grounds, but straight
at her, although she was not sure of
this because the light had very near.

that's ALL"
She laughed and so did he. He had
not much idea what he really was say
ing.
you know, I think l shall become
a model country gentleman in time"
he added.
TT mus seem strange to you, after
the lite you've been living"
She meant it very ~innocently, yet it
shocked him fiercely. He sat up in
the swing and gazed at her with out
thrust neck-that gesture which she
thought was awkward, funny, when
she saw it first, in school days, but
which she had rather begun to like.
What do you know about the life I'VE
been Iiving?" he demanded.
She was o in the least suspicious.
Il mean in New York-that great, big,
wonderful place! It is a wonderful
place. isn't it?"
He had had a thrill Of panic. Now
he Quieted, although his heart still
throbbed a little. He was glad she did
not know about the life he had been
leading.
Have you never been to New
York;" he asked.

rs it a mystery?"
That's what it is-a mystery" He
shook his head In thought.
The subject had lost interest to her
because she did not know its fasci-
nations. Il suppose you go to church
every Sunday morning. Tomorrow's
Sunday"
He was astonished. He had been
thinking of Broadway. There are
churches on that thoroughfare, but
they are not SO brightly lighted as
some other of its structures. What's
that again."
Il say I suppose you go to church
every Sunday morning"
''Well-I've been going to Church
ills every Sunday night" He laughed
a little. then exclaimed, not loudly:

What are you thinking Off"
-"Oh, l was just thinking what a
great thing it would be If I made a
success of this business"
Why, you're going to-" she said
confidently.
DO you think so?"
I'm sure of it If you will make up
your mind to work-to keep busy"
Yes; that's it. I've got to work"
He laughed. For a few moments they
had been rather serious. 'Work!
Now, tomorrow, I'm going to plan: a
lot OF vegetables and then I'm going
to cut the grass; I'm going to milk

He hesitated. Was Mrs. Gerard VAL

feeling certain that this speech was
accurate.
Perhaps he's lost II and is afraid
to return" she suggested.
He smiled, remembering the instruc-
lions he had given Rankin. IF he's
lost it he'll return all right-to claim
the reward"
"For losing it? How funny?"
"Yes; isn't it?" He laughed. "B1t
