"Yes. But as fast as learn new one,
it's sold.'
"That's all right" she answered "The
more you learn, the better. Some day
Mr.. Farnsworth will call you in and turn
you loose on your friends"
"You think so?"
al know it, if you keep going. But you
can't let up-not for one day"
"If l can only last through the sum-
mer," he reflected aloud. "Have you ever
spent a summer in town."
"Where else would spend summer"
she inquired.
81 like the mountains myself. Ever
been to Fabyan House?"
She looked to see if he was joking He
was not. He had spent the last three
summers very pleasantly in the White
Mountains.
NO. she answered "a ten-cent troll
ley trip is my limit
"Where?"
"Anywhere l can find trees or water.
You can get quite trip right in Central
Park, and it's good fun to watch the
kiddes getting an airing.
There was a note in her voice that made
him turn his head toward her. The color
sprang to her cheeks.
"It's time l was getting back, she an
nounced as she rose. "This is Mr.. Sea-
graves busy day.
"But look here; l haven't finished my
eclair!"
"Then you'd better devote the next five
minutes to that" she advised.
She disappeared through the door, and
in another second was blended with a
thousand others.
Don drew out his memorandum book
and made the following entry:
Visit Central Park some day and watch
the kiddies.
FRANCES wrote him enthusiastically
from London. In her big, sprawling
handwriting the letter covered eight
pages, Toward the end she added:
miss you quite lot, Don dear, espe-
cially on foggy days. Please don't work too
hard, and remember that l am, as always
Your FRANCES.
Well, that was something to know
that she was always his, even in London.
But London was long way from New
York, and of course he could not expect
her to go abroad and then spend all her
time writing to him. He went up to the
club after reading this, and wrote her
letter twenty pages long. 1t was very
sentimental letter, but it did him good.
The next day he returned to the Office de-
cidedly refreshed. In fact, he put in one
of the best weeks there since he had taken
his position When Saturday came he
was sorry that it was a half holiday: he
would have liked to work even through
Sunday.
He left the Office that day at a little
before twelve, and stood on the corner
waiting for Miss Winthrop. They had
lunched together every day during the
week; but he had not mentioned meeting
her to-day, because he had come to the
conclusion that the only successful way
to do was to capture her. So she came
out quite jauntily and confidently, and
almost ran into him as he raised his hat.
She glanced about uneasily.
"Please-we mustn't stand here"
"Then I'll walk little way with
YOU"
So he accompanied her to the elevated
station, and then up the steps, and as

"I don't have anything to do after
that" he said. al just wander around
until it's time to go to bed"
"That's waste of time
al know it. It's just killing time until
the next day"
She appeared interested.
"You have many friends?"
"They are all in London and Paris, he
answered.
"You have relatives"
"No," he answered. "You see, l live
all alone. Dad left me house. but
well, he didn't leave any one in it except
the servants"
"You live in house all by yourself?'
He nodded.
Mr.. Pendleton lived in house! That
was wonderful thing to her. She had
almost forgotten that any one lived in
whole houses any more. She was eager
to hear more. So, when the next train
came along she stepped into it, and he
followed, although she had not intended
to allow this.
al wish you would tell me about your
house, she said wistfully.
So, on the way uptown, he tried to de-
scribe it to her. He told her where it was,
and that quite took away her breath; and
how his father had bought it; and how
many rooms there were; and how it was
furnished; and, finally, how he came to
be living in it himself on a salary of twenty
five dollars week. AS she listened her
eyes grew round and full.
"My, but you're lucky!" she exclaimed.
"I should think you'd want to spend every
minute you could get there"
"Why?" he asked in surprise.
"Just because it's your house," she an
swered. "Just because it's all your own"
al don't see it," he answered.
"And what do you want of ten thousand
year," she demanded. "You can live
like king on what you're drawing now."
"You don't mean that?" he asked.
al don't mean you ought to give up
trying for the big jobs, she said quickly.
"You ought to try all the harder for those,
because that's all that's left for you to
try for. With everything else provided,
you ought to make a name for yourself.
Why, you're free to work for nothing
else."
"On twenty-five dollars a week."
"And house that's all your own.
With roof over your head no one can
take away, and heat and light-why,
it's fortune and your twenty-five so
much extra"
well, have to eat" he observed.
"Yes, you have to eat"
"And wear clothes.
She was doing that and paying her
rent out of fifteen.
al don't see what you do with all your
money!" she answered.
At this point she stepped out Of the
train, and he followed her. She went
down the stairs to the street, and he con-
tinued to follow. She was on her way to
the delicatessen store to buy her pro-
visions for the night and Sunday, and ap-
parently it was his intention to go there
with her But at the door of the little
shop she stopped.
"l'm going in here" she informed him,
as if that concluded the interview.
He merely nodded and opened the door
for her. She was beginning to be worried.
At this rate there was no knowing but
what he might follow her right home
"l'm going to buy my provisions for to-

eighty-fve cents.
"Now," he asked, when she had con-
cluded, "what do you think I'd better
order?"
Her cheeks were flushed, and she
knew it.
"Tm sure don't know" she answered.
He saw some eggs. i
al might as well have dozen eggs to
start with, he began.
as there only YOURSELF" she inquired.
"Yes," he answered.
"Then | should think half dozen
would do'
"A half dozen, he corrected the order.
Then he thought of chops.
"A pound or two of chops,'' he ordered.
3lf you have eggs for breakfast, you
will need chops only for dinner Two
chops will be enough"
Before she was through she had done
practically all his ordering for him,-be-
cause she could not bear to see waste
and the total came to about one half what
it usually cost him. He thought there
must be some mistake, and insisted that
Hans make second reckoning. The
total was the same.
al shall trade with you altogether after
this" he informed the pleased proprietor
THERE were several packages, but Hans
bound them together into two rather
large-sized ones. With one of these in
each hand, Don came out upon the street
with Miss Winthrop.
"1'm going home now,' she announced.
"There you are again!" he exclaimed.
"But | must
al suppose you think I ought to go
home
Certainly"
Look here-doesn't it seem sort of
foolish to prepare two lunches in two
different places. Doesn't it seem rather
wasteful?'
Offhand, it did. And yet there was
something wrong with that argument
at may be wasteful, but it's necessary,
she replied.
"Now, is it?' he asked. "Why can't
together?'
"You must go home with your bundles
she said, grasping at the most obvious fact
she could think of at the moment.
@If that's the only difficulty, can call
messenger he replied instantly.
"And lose all you've saved by coming
way up here? l won't listen to it,"
"Then I'll go home with them and
come back
at will be too late for lunch them
Il can take a taxi and"
"No wonder your salary isn't enough
if you do such things!" she interrupted.
"If you had ten thousand year, you
would probably manage to spend it ALL"
"I haven't doubt of it, he answered
cheerfully. "On the other hand, it would
get me out of such predicaments as these
Apparently he was content to stand
here in front of the little shop the rest of
the afternoon, debating this and similar
points. But she took matters into her
own hands.
"The sensible thing for you to do is to
go home and have lunch," she decided.
"And them"
"Oh, can't plan your whole day for
you. But you ought to get out in the
sunshine"
"Then I'll meet you in the park at
three?"

distinction, of course, between these

chest was made with lid that opened

were designed for the keeping OF trinkets
and treasures. Hutches are in still an.
