ing. It's very stranEe! got the
house, but they say she is away and
don't seem to know just where. 1t Is
very unfortunate"
Sally held up a canful of worms.
well, let's go fishing and forget our
troubles. I've got some Of my own,
too. Come along, Duke"
Day followed day, never one that
these woodland friends did not see
each other. Naturally enough, they
discussed the book.
Its puzzling to me why SO many
women write books with wrong end
ings," he said one day.
DO they?"
Eyes. I'll let you read the manu-
script Of this book, and you surely
can't say it ends happily when the girl
marries man she doesn't love-"
mo, wouldn't say that" soberly.
why can't they be natural and
make them end right?"
what do you men by 'right?'"
Like real life
Girls in real life often marry the
wrong man. IL have very dear
friend who is going to do so, very
soon.
He looked his surprise.
1T isn't odd that she should tell
me-" she added, hastily. II know her
very, very we'll"
The man was silent Finally he
spoke. 1T isn't so odd, either, now
that you speak Of it. I have dear
friend, too, man who recently con-
fided the same thing to me. 1t seems
you'll never know his name, so
make no breach of confidence in tell
ing you just little. This man loved
a girl very much at one time and they,
became engaged. Then he went away,
and instead of staying six months he
stayed five years. While away he got
over his first love, but never did the
girl. He decided to leave 1t to her.
When he came back, the girl seemed
to care, so he decided to stick to his
side of the bargain and vowed she
should never know the difference"
Sally was very white.
"Mr. Howell l am Sally West
brooke! Does that tell you anything?
ut means" he said, after long
pause, "that you wrote this book"
"And 1t means that you have been
telling me about Lawrence Emerson,
to whom am engaged to be married"
He nodded. What had he done
telling another mans secret.
But Sally's face was radiant now.
She said softly: 81 am the girl told
you about, Mr.. Howell, and think
you told me about Lawrence just In
time to save us both from everlasting
misery"
THANK heaven for shotguns!" he
breathed fervently.
