While the elder Wallace took al

Ing OH into the darkness of the SIT. rounding farming country. Jackson in trodueed his new-made friend to the two girls, and they stood laughing in- conseqhentially The young city man was much impressed by the two pret. ty country girls. and the two pretty country girls. especially Clara Spots wood, were delighted with the youth who had been brought so dramatically to their attention
 They went along before the elder gentleman was satisfied that every thlng was certainly all right. but at q distance which they felt sure made them invisible in the soft gloom of the summer night they paused, with many a suppressed giggle, to look back at the group, each member Of which was now and then shown sharply against 1 the background of Cimmerian dark. ness as he chanced to pass into the radius Of one or the other of the cars headlights.
 T think he's absolutely too hand. some,o Clara whispered cautiously.
 I've always thought so,' Josie an swered
 Oh, silly! l mean young MT. Wal lace. And Roberts such sweet name! It's almost the same as Robin. - Robin Adair, you know? How she must have loved him!''
 Robert or Robin?" Josie asked.
 Robin, Of course. She sang the song about him. But Roberts just a. pretty, and it doesn't make you think Of birds and worms"
 Josie burst into partially stified tit. ters, and her friend grasped her arm in giggfing wrath to forcs her into a wild seamper down the dusky. fragrant village street. When they had once i more fallen to a walk Josie remarked unwittingly:
 You're very silly He's not half as good looking as Jackson, and you know it. Only we see Jackson every day and"
 "Oh-h-h," said Clara. i've suspect ed that for long time.''
 Suspected what? Keep uuietl were the contradictory remarks of he best friend. Then: And I'm going tt be so lonely after he has gone, I'd lk. to cry. I almost did Think of all the girls he'll meet there in the city, Oh l hate New York;
 You've never been there''
 No. But I've heard about the girls there. Lots-of-them-dri tails. And l hate that street he's al ways talking of-Broadway, Then. suddenly. and, to the amazement of her friend. who instantly was filled, how ever. with perfect understanding Josie burst into tears, and. with a quick Good night rushed toward her home
 Before they parted the city youth gave Broadway his card,
 You've been very nice. old chap. Come to see me when you strike New l York;
 Its absolutely certain-and I'm coming iii a year"
 To his amaZement. the events of this extraordinary night had not yet ceased for Broadway Jones. He walked down the street toward home, filled with longing for the years end. and found Sammy, Clara's small brother, asleep upon his doorstep.
 Hi, Sammy" he cried, shaking a fat shoulder.
 'Yes-sir; I'm n'-to-be-like - the boy began before he was en. 1 tirely awake
 T know, like Rip Van Wrinkle. But he didn't take his nap upon doorstep. 1 Why aren't you at home, in bed?"
 Sammy rubbed his eyes. With mad dening deliberation he informed Broad, way that the judge had sent him with instructions to find Broadway and tell him he wished to see him. "He-said -it-didn nt-make-no- difference = how-late"
 What! As near midnight as this Child, it's almost ten o'clock! All Jonesville is asleep"
 'He-says-for-you-to-come I'm -goin'"
 Whereupon he went
 Jackson followed speedily. Such a summons from the judge at such an hour must bode something cata- clysmic.
 He found worried judge pacing up and down his office floor. In the office, at this hour! You real ly want to see me, judse?"
 Yes" said the old man firmly. "Pye determined that I will not be a party to deception
 Who's been deceived. judge9"
 Jackson, your fathers will gives you his fortune when you're twenty one, not when you're twenty-two. Your uncle wished to keep it from you. do not think yon ought to have it now but you're entitled to it."
 Broadway gazed with dropped jaw Judge. Pm getting ali mixed up You say get it when I'm twenty one {? Why, I'm twenty-one already!"
