DON ADolPHo
BY JANE OSBORN.


Nathaniel Ewing was the junior
partner In the furniture company OF
Mcclure & Ewing, and. as such things
usually go. everyone expected that
he would some day marry Katie, Bar
~ McGuire's pretty daughter. 1t was
as plain as day that Nat was head
over heels in love with Katie. The
florist and the confectioner could have
told you that he sent roses and bon
bons to Katie almost every week, and
no girl in her right mind, people
said, could have refused Nat. So the
matter seemed as good as settled But
it wasn't.

day afternoon as they were walking
home from the country club, where
they had had their round of tennis.
NAT, ! think you had better not send
me the flowers and the candy any
more-people are beginning to talk"
well, what II they are?" Nat was
perfectly cheerful. 1t had never really
occurred to him that there could be
any serious obstacle in the way of
winning Katie's hand.
"Well"-Katie fumbled with the
strings of her racquet-'if l should
ever marry-if were to be married
soon, for instance, people might say
that 1 should not have let you spend
so much money for me-"
ANY one in mind?" asked Nat.
What do you know about it," ex.
claimed Katie Did father tell you
Did you read the letters?"
Nat suddenly recalled the fact that
he had noticed rather copious CORE
spondence bearing Spanish stamps
and postmarks that had been coming
I into the office for the past six weeks.
He had thought nothing about it, but
now his curiosity and jealousy were
aroused.
