houscwork. Not that exactly-but II
is dreadful never to have a respite, to
go on day after day, month after
month, year after year, in the same
old way with my only recreation a
daily walk to the mail box. That
morning everything had been espe-
cially eXasperating. For one thing
it was hot. was tired. l felt q
thousand years old. Suddenly my
inner consciousness took series OF
somersaults and found myself
standing upon the deck of that old
steamer as she ploughed through the
moonlit sea toward the northern
lights.
when I took my mental gymnas-
tics l was coming through the or
chard, and then and there stopped
short at the sight of a once familiar
figure. Walking up the driveway to-
ward the house was the very man
who had came into my thoughts the
minute before. What would you call
-.,! Telepathy?"
1T would seem SO. l suppose you
were glad to see hIm?"

phatic. Il was provoked. He should

her face red and wet from the heat

! could keep out of sight until he had
reached the house and then slip in
without being seen. but failed to
reckon with those keen Scotch eyes,
Before l quite realized it, both my
hands weer held close in his and lie
was looking down at me in way
that found slightly embarrassing,
and this was his greeting:
i thought l was never going to
have the time to come for You.
1t was I'M absurd thing for him to
say. had not invited him to come
here, and consequently was a little
at sea 10 his meaning. but before
| could ask him what he meant, to
my utter bewilderment he told me he
had come South to marry me. He
seemed to have taken 1t for granted
that l would be ready to say yes
