AS they hurried down the Court Archibald said in
confidential voice to Jenny,
you know, I'm doing all this for a friend of
mine"
What do you mean-a friend?'
"Why, this friend of mine sitting in the taxi has
fallen desperately in love with you But he's SO shy,
$3.50 confoundedly shy-we, he's SO shy that if he
looks at himself in glass; he can't sleep all night
Now you know the sort of chap he isl
Jenny had no time to discuss this information be
fore she found herself sitting opposite young man
who breathed out indistinct greetings from the
gloom of the taxs interior In the blaze of the
Hapsburg supper-room, she examined very critically
this voiceless victim of hers. He was tall and thin
not bad-ooking, save that his wanted re-grind-
ing and bit of cocoanut mating had adhered to his
upper lip when he last tripped over the mat. His
Eustace Grant.
"Eustace?" Jenny echoed Funny name to
have to say if Never mind, Eustace you're not so
bad, are you? Only wish you had bit more to say
and didn't keep going red and white like a railway
signal, because I'm not dangerous"
Supper passed off very merrily, as Jenny was suff-
GENTLY interested by the various ladies of the chorus
all around to forgive Eustace his embarrassment.
Moreover, Archie by his ceaseless chatter made up
for his friends silence
"Well, genial little group, / do think,

breaking name is
"Have you finished, you?"
asked Jenny, snatching up basin
of water from the table. because
if you don't look out, III throw
this all over you, and then you will
have something to talk about"
Jenny, looking up from the dance
of the Cambridge and Harvard
crews, perceived Sop sitting soli-
tary in the large box nearest to the
stage, on her side. She smiled at
him wickedly and bumped intoIrene
for his edification; but the young
mannervouslypushed his chair back
into the remote glooms of the box,
looking miserably self-conscious.
"He's worse than | thought, .
murmured Jenny to Irene as they
took hands in the dance. "He
might be sitting in his mothers lap
instead of in a box at the Orient.
I'll have to bring him out, that's all
there is to it."
With this ambition twinkling
from her gay, deep eyes, Jenny
emerged into the Court outside the
stage-door. She looked up at the
sky, and laughed at the stars above
her. Then "Tooralooral, girls!"
she cried to her companions, and
hurried along to the appointment.
But there was no sign of her young
admirer in Jermyn Street, and she
stamped her foot petulantly. She
could see the girls behind her watch
ing, and she became furious at the
idea of their mocking laughter. She
was just going back to the stage
door, when she heard what sounded
like a groan from a dark embrasure
a few yards to the left, and on look
ing in the direction of the noise she
perceived Eustace feebly signalling
Come out of that" she said
sharply. "The girls will think I've
gone off with a burglar. What are
you doing in there?"
Il was waiting" said Eustace in
sepulchral tones. L thought you
were never coming, and | couldn't
see taxi, and people kept staring
at me. Oh, l am glad you've come
at last" he sighed.
And that's all the thanks / get
for tearing through my dressing
like a race-horse."

"Well, we are a genial little grol
cried Archie, saluting over his
champagne the two girls and wink
ing all the while as rapidly as the
bubbles in his glass.
"Eustace, old boy, here's to

Eustace muttered what was pre-
sumably graceful acknowledge
ment.
"You're very fond of yourself,
aren't you, Eust?" said Jenny.
ooh, am I? Why?" asked Eus-
tace.
"Well, you keep on talking to
yourself all the time. You've got
something worrying you down in
your throat, haven't you?"
Eustace looked very miserable
and his lips twitched family in
what was meant to be a response.
While the girls were putting on
their things prior to going home,
he apparently succeeded in convey
ing hint of his emotions to his
friend, for Archie, when the girls
reappeared, took Jenny aside Gag
erly and acted envoy plenipoten-
tiary for Eustace, while the latter
settled the supper-bill.
"By CAD, little lady, you've alb
solutely knocked poor old Eustace.
He's foolish about you! My word,
he's absolutely up to his neck!

rather admired Archie's command
of nonsense, and was inclined to
regard him as favorably as she ever
regarded anybody.

Jenny.
"What are you going to do for

"What cheek If he wants me
to do anything for him, why doesn't

in dignantly. "I'll call him

FRUIT IN TIE SOUTH

All over the South the papers are
having much to say about the awak-
ening of the people to the value of
fruit that has fine flavor. Northwest
ern fruit has been beautiful to look at
on the fruit stands in the big cities
but very small proportion of it has
anything in the shape of that touch
ed by the Southern sun. Apples from
Georgia lately took number Of first
and second prizes in the Great New
York exhibit in New York State, and
Kentucky apples shipped to the North
west also took a great many prizes.
AS this is true it is especially fitting
and opportune that the Conference at
Louisville, April 7-S-9-10, is to have Mr..
w. M. Mcdonald, manager of the Ex-
celsior Fruit Growers Association Of
Minnesota, to give talk and make
some demonstrations. Mr.. Mcdonald
was originally an expert bookkeeper
In Minneapolis, but finding that his
health was breaking under close office
work, he decided to go to the country.
He at once took hold of the Excelsior
Fruit Growers Association and in five
years pushed the business from $4,000
annually to 100000. This man will
organize typical fruit growers asso-
citation among the horticulturists at
the meeting, and show them methods
Of shipping, packing, advertising and
the locating Of markets.
When asked about the prices which
prevailed when he took hold of the
organization. and those prevailing last
year, he said, when the Association
was launched rs cents per case of "a
pint baskets of red raspberries pre-
vailed. Last year our red raspberry
cases of the same size averaged $2.05
Of course, to get such prices one must
have a perfect pack and first-class
fruit. Every fruit grower in cur Asso
citation has his number and the dealer
orders through the number and upon
the reputation of the Association for
fair dealing"
