''No. sir; Miss worthington is in the
country"
Indeed, where did she go for her
summer vacation this year,"
IN let you know in a moment, sir.
Please come in"
The gentleman went into the draw
ing room and the maid disappeared up
stairs Entering a telephone booth, she
her mistress at the Colonial hotel, Ar
iington Springs. When the lady came
TO the telephone the maid said:
Mr. Martindale has called. He has
asked me where you have gone this
summer. I suppose 1 may give him
your address"
Wait a moment" Then, after q
pause. yes, you may give him my
address"
The maid went downstairs with Il
card in her hand bearing the informa-
ton required and handed it to Mr..
Martindale. He glanced at il, then left
the house. He had been paying atten-
ton 70 Miss Warrington for long
while: at least. they had been very
companionable. The gentleman was
considered quite catch, and the lady
was anxious TO land him. During the
spring he had considered the expedi-
ency OF giving up his bachelorhood by
marrying Miss Worthington and had
decided that he could not possibly bear
to tie himself up. He had therefore
sheered of. and Miss Worthington had
gone 20 the country without his ask
ing where she would go. But midsum-
mer had come round. The city was de-
serted. and. though he had many
friends at their country places who
would have been glad to entertain him,
he was not especially drawn TO any of
them. Thinking he would enjoy the
companionship OF his chum, he had
called at her house for her address.
The next day Miss Warrington re
ceived a note from her chum which
read:
It's deuced slow here in town. I'm
thinking OF taking an outing If you
won't be bored by my company I'll join
you for a few days"
On receipt OF this note Miss Worth
ineton deliberated. Had she better re-
ply that she was not feeling very we'll
and kept her room most of the time?
The country is good place for a girl
20 land a lover. but Miss Worthington
had not succeeded during the previous
summer. though they had been under
the same roof for several weeks. II
she had foil she would feel more con

ing. 1t was addressed to an old flame
of hers who had at one time caused
Mr.. Martindale some concern. WITHIN
the envelope was a blank sLset OF pa

Miss Worthington had carried her
letter to the postoffice on three differ

with her. On the fourth day. arriving
simultaneously with the train, she saw
Mr.. Martindale alight. She attracted
his attention, and he Joined her.
