bailed them out.
At the hour that the quiet and gentle
Mr.. Sinclair was slipping lemonade on
his mothers veranda, Miss Bertha Cor
mon was riding along the highway in her
runabout. Had her mother told Of the

was not obedient; as a half-grown girl
she was famous for her impatience.

an effort to control herself. If she
thought OF crossing the sea she'd want

'And who will be the right mani"
"A quiet gentleman-a man who is
somewhat lethargic instead of impulsive
a man with firmness combined with his
gentleness."
"Is there such a man in the whole

the highways were muddy.
"Ot course you won't go out this morn

Very promptly Miss Bertha thought of

He made a new inspection, backed the
