the jewel being always immaculate,
Seffy presented it as q diamond and
had risen perceptibly in the opinion Of
the vicinagc.
"And - and - and - Sef - Seffy,

Seffy had been absorbed in what he
was going to wear.
"Yas-yas-that's the most impor:.

frankly accepted the situation and
promptly put into action its oppor-
tunities for coquetry. She begged him,
first, with consummate aplomb, to
aid her in adjusting her parcels more
securely, insisting upon carrying them
herself, and it would be impossible to
describe adequately her allures. The
electrical touches, half-caress, half
defiance; the confidential whisperings,
so that the willy old man in the rear
might not hear the surges up against
him; the recoveries-only to surge
again-these would require mechanical
contrivance which reports not only
speech but action-and even this might
easily fail, SO subtle was it all!

on bitterly. "He's nothing but a

Sally began to drift further away and
to sing. Calling Prits names was OF
no consequence-except that it kept
Seffy from making love to her while he
was doing it-which seemed foolish to
Sally. The old man came up and
brought them together again.

He drew them very close together,

held them there for q moment, roughly.
Seffy stole o glance at Sally. He
wanted to see how she was taking his
fathers odiously intimate suggestion.
But it happened that Sally wanted to
see how he was taking it. She laughed
with the frankest Of joy as their eyes
met.
"Seffy-I dO-Iike you," said the
coquette. "And you ought to know

Now this was immensely stimulating

had procured.

The bid came from behind him, and

They advanced together now, Seffy's
father whistling some tune that was
never heard before on earth, and, with
his arm in that of his son, they watched
Sally bounding away. Once more, as
she leaped fence, she looked laughingly
back. The old man whistled wildly
