The olri Who Wouldn't Propose.

II took long time for Carol to re-
cover from the effect of Lark's disloy-
nlty. as she persisted In calling 1t. For
several weeks she didn't twinkle at all.
But when at last the smiles came easy
again. she wrote to Mr.. Duke. her

CAROL.
Carol jumped up and caught up her
hat and rushed all the way downtown
to the postofiice to get that letter
started for Danville, Illinois, where the
Rev. Mr.. Duke was located. Her face
was so radiant, and her eyes were so
heavenly blue, and SO sparkling bright
that people on the street turned to
look after her admiringly.
She was feverishly impatient until
the answer arrived. and was not at all
surprised that 1t came under special
delivery stamp. though Lark lifted her
eyebrows quizxically. and Aunt Grace
smiled suggestively, and her father
looked up with sudden questioning in
his face. Carol made no comment, only
ran up to her room and locked the door
once more.
