 Johnnie shook hls head. "NoDe in the worldr' he said exclusively.
 Over the greensward William lightly bore his lady. while radiant was the cleared sky above the happy dancers.
 His feet moved in rhapsody of com- panionship with hers. They danced and danced and danced.
 Then Joe danced with her, while Will liam and Johnnie stood with hands upon each others shoulders and watch ed, mayhap with longing. but without spite. Then Johnnie danced with her while Joe and William watched, and then William danced with her again.
 So passed the long, incffable after noon away-ah, seventeen!

 The haloed summer still idled on It's way, yet all the while sped quickly, like some languid lady in an elevator. There came a Sunday. very hot.

 But as a group of five young people passed along the other side of the street MI. Baxter abruptly stopped flaming himself. and. following the di. rectlon of his gaze, Mrs. Baxter ceased to rock.

 "I think she Is going soon," said Mrs. Baxter ",The Parchers are to have a dance for her Friday night. and I un- derstand there's to be floor laid in the yard and great things It's fare well party"
 "That'S one mercy. anyhow"
 Genesis turned the handle of the freezer with his left hand. allowing his right the freedom of gesture which was an intermittCnt necessity when he talked. In the matter of dress. Gen esis had always been among the most informal of his race. but today there was a change almost uNnervinS to the Caucasian eye. lie wore a balloonish suit of purple, strangely ScaIloped at pocket and cul' and more strangely decorated with lines of small parasite buttons, In cclor blUc, obviously but tons of leisure. also a white, solled evening tie heavily over Oul denCd Gy a green glass medallion of the Emperor TibCrius. set in brass.
