ed me in skill. am always somewhat
clumsy, but my friend was naturally
quick and keen at all games of skill or
dexterity. He was the sort of man
who could bowl or play pool or bill
liards or anything else rather better
than the average accustomed player
the first time he tried. He turned card
tricks deftly. At the. end of our three
days loafing he caught me at the end
of his pistol so regularly that there
ceased to be any contest in it. I never
did get the sleeve trick; but, then, I
never succeeded in fooling the merest
infant with any Of my attempts at
legerdemain. Johnny could flip that
little derringer out with twist of his
supple wrist as neatly as snake darts
It's forked tongue. For ten minutes at
a time he practiced it, over and over,
as regularly as well oiled machinery.
But that proves nothing as to how
1t would work out in real action" said
Johnny thoughtfully.
The afternoon Of the third day while
we were resting from the heat beneath
the shade of our tree we were ap-
preached by three men.
"Howdy, boys?' said the first. I'VE

with smooth politeness. "As you see,

be at the Bella Union at 8 this evenin',
and he wants to know will he see you,
and to come heeled."
"Thank you, gentlemen" replied
Johnny quietly. IF by accident you
should happen to see the desperate in
question-who, assume, can be in no
way your friend-I hope you will tell
him that I, too, will be at the Bella
Union at s o'clock, and that I will
come heeled."

man, cor p'rhaps yore friend
"My friend, as you call him, Is sim

this" interrupted Johnny emphatically.

man, rising.
The other two, who had throughout
said no word, followed his example.
'Do you know Danny Randall?" said
Johnny as they moved off.
If he had presented his derrlnger un-
der their noses they could not have
stopped more suddenly. They stared

"Brewster!" Mrs. Gore calculated,
and her voice broke into a quaver.

I always deferred to you in every
thing?"
Yes" he acknowledged, because
other attendants employed for Grace
were hirelings who did what they
pleased, or submitted to any sugges-
ton, whether it was for Grace's good
or not. This girl is different. She un-
derstands her job. She is not mere
nurse, but an interesting and inter-
ested girl.
II want her to manage Grace as
she sees fit, until she runs against
some snag. She is ready and will
ing to consult me, and that is all that
is essential. l have told her that
with regard to such nom essentials as
the child's clothes, etc, she may ap-
peal to you. On other points she must
consult me: That is why" slowly and
severely, "she took the car this morn

she did not suggest it." the man
said quickly. Did you tell her you

woman began, that | worry about

Her brother-in-law interrupted her
almost savagely, and there was a
sharp note of pain in his voice.

Grace is seldom allowed to play with
children, for they have always excit-
ed and fretted her. Life has been a
dull monotony for her. Now she is
getting what she needs. And she shall

In answer to this question 1872 of the
200 senior members of the graduation
class of Princeton University, who an
swered this rather personal question
replied they had, on some occasion in
their lives, kissed a girl. Twenty
seven men said that they had not
kissed, while few of the more BASH
full members of the class, when inter-
rogated, refused to commit them
selves either way. Some OF the rea-
sons advanced b ythe "nonosculators"
in answer to the second question, IF
not, why not2 were: THE high cost
of loving; high collars; adherence to
the traditional policy of watchful
waiting;" one modern Adonis main
tains that he has never found lady
worthy of the honor, while several
unfortunates claim that they either
nerve.
Twenty eight seniors claim they do
not correspond with any girl; twenty
six correspond with one girl and the
same number with two girls. One
member of the class asserts that he
corresponds with thirty-three different
girls, while another replies that 1t de-
pends on the seasons, spring leading.
Forty-one members of the class con-
slider 1t morally wrong to kiss girl.

CHAPTER XI

CHAPTER Nj
Copyright, 1917, Star Company
When we reached home, Mrs. Gore
was still in bed, and Grace and l
lunched alone. AS received no mes
sage from the invalid, | did not ask
to see her. After my experience of the
morning with her, l felt that would
best not intrude upon her.
The afternoon passed as usual,
Grace and i taking a short walk up
Riverside Drive, after which we spent
an hour together in my room, or until
our supper was announced, when we
went down to the dining room.
Mr.. Norton was coming in the front
door as we reached the lower hall. He
spoke to us gravdy, and his manner
was preoccupied.
When Grace was in bed that even
ing, l pressed the button which was
the usual signal for Julia to inform
the master of the house that his small
daughter was ready to see him.
The ring brought no response, and
suddenly recalled the fact that Mag
gle had waited upon Grace and me al
supper and had tdld us that Julia had
gone out, Mrs. GGe having given her
the evening off to spend with a cousin
who had just arrived from the other
side" Maggie was now probably busy
upstairs, and the cook and kitchen
maid paid no heed to the sound of the
bell.
"Who will call daddy, them" Grace
asked when 1 explained this to her.
81 will, of couise," / said.
l spoke confidently enough, but my
decision wavered then failed, when
] reached the laIding half way down
the stairs. The door of Mrs. Cores
room was open and / could hear dis
tinctly what was being said in there
l was arrested by the sound of my
own name spoken by Mrs Gore.
Everybody acknowledges that
eavesdropping is contemplate, yet
when one suddenly hears her own
name it requires an almost super
to learn what is being said. Add to
this that 1 was off my guard through
sheer surprise, and l may be par
doned for committing dishonorable
action. Involuntarily, ] paused
Miss Dart is young and mex
perienced," Grace's aunt was saying,

her judgment After all, I know
Grace, and she does not"
An Alteration
''She understands the child won
derfully," my employer argued. You
must admit that, since her arrival
Grace has not had a single attack OF
that nervous crying she used to
have
because her general condition is
better" Mrs. Gore maintained.
And that is due to her govern
ess' companionship and manage
ment," Mr.. Norton declared. "Y ou
say that Miss Dart disobeyed your
instructions last night about the win
doHs in the nursery. Had she not
opened a window, she would have
disobeyed me-"
l'She complained to you of my
orders" Mrs. Gore accused.

mar exclaimed with such vehemenc
