er nuskily.

enthusiasm. The girls whom he had
once considered good sports" failed to
amuse him. Fully intending to ask one
of them to accompany him to the as
sembly ball, he could not decide which
OF the many to invite. There was only
one thing which interested him, and
that was the letter which came twice
a week from Mountville.
He formed the habit of dropping over
to his married sisters of an evening
and playing the yictrola. On his very
first visit, he discovered the record
Forgotten" 1t brought back to him
with startling vividness the last few
minutes he had spent with Madeline;
the rich fullness Of her voice the stray
wisp OF her chestnut hair, the light in
her eyes when she said goQd.by. He
realized suddenly that Madeline meant
more to him than all the other girls in
the world put together.
The night before the assembly he
took supper with his sister, who breach
ed the subject Of the dance.
do you know that Cynthia Temp
son hasn't been invited?" she asked.
"How is that"
~ should say; 1t just happened that
way. Maybe she'd go with you if you
should ask her"
Maybe she would" Hal manifested
but little enthusiasm, but his sister,
anxious to do a good turn to Cynthia,
ventured a suggestion.
"Why don't you call her up?' she
asked.
For O moment Hal hesitated, He re-
allied that he was doing nobody any
good by moping around-that it5would
probably be wise thing to invite Gym
thia. He arose from the table doubt
fully.
Maybe 1 will" he said. "Cynthia's
good sport and she'll understand why
I'm SO late"
He went to the telephone and called
the Tompson home. But the line was
busy And then, while he waited before
trying again, his brother.in.law opened
the victrola and ployed the record For
gotten"
When the last notes had died away,
Hal trned to the phone again, But the
number he called was "Mountville 420
R." When Madeline, who had answer.
ed the call, recovered from her surprise
he informed her gently but firmly that
he had decided that he didn't want to
go to the assembly ball without her,
and so he wasn't going at all.
I'm coming up to Mountville instead"

he continued. 81 can get the three o.
clack train Friday and reach there at
eight.thirty. And then want to ask
you a question"
But he didn't tell her what the ques-
ton was until he had climbed down
from the rickety stage and had seen
the light Of welcome in her eyes.
And then, after she had answered In
the affirmative, he made his way hest
tatingly into the dining.room and stat.
ed his case before her father. And Mr..
Gilman, honest farmer that he was,
looked fairly into Halls eyes, and was
satisfied.
~ never thought that Madeline would
marry anyone but a farmer" he said,
with twinkle In his eye. But ! guess
that you'll do"
So Hal went back to the parlor to
tell Madeline the verdict; and few
minutes later, the strains of Forgot
ten" floated out to the dinning.room.
