There were severnl other meetings
between the sister and the flancee. and
on ench one the sister was more favor
uhly impressed than on the last. Tom
vns working harder In his Office than
he had ever worked before. lie told
his sister that was the result Of being
engaged 10 Mndge. She was insplra-
ton enough TO make any man do bis
best. and Of this the sister entirely
approved. No silly little girl whose
head was In her heels could have this
effect on n man. that was certain.
The substantial sister remained In
the city two weeks and no inkllng did
she get of the cabaret dancer friend %
her hroiher's whom he had once intro
ducsd as his hancee. Well. perhaps he
had thought better Of his folly. She
would not force confidence out ~
him. but she would not go back home
till she had "clnchedr the matter With
Madge Henson. With this end In view
she urged Ton TO make formal an
nuuncemsnt Of the enlargement

Tou protested. "A few people know Of
%. but hscnuse Madge j. working she
doesn't want to wear an engagement
ring or have IL announced till just be-
fore we ARE married"
There j. no reason why you cant
be- married In o. very little while" said
the sister. In the meartime the very
fact that she l. working Is reason
enough why she shoulf have the en-.
sagement announced. II l. something
that j. due 20 every rirl who has given
her promise 10 marry. Tom. really
Insist thar IL he announced. ] won't
go home until you do"
Perhaps this last stipulation had
something to 40 with II. for the next
day Tom told his sister that Madge
had consented TO announce their en-
gaRement. In fact. they had gone so
far ~ To send small notes 10 the va
rious papers making the announce
ment. and Madge had written 20 all
her close friends telling them Of II.
The sister was satisfied and had nc
tually made reservations for her re-
turn trip. when she CHANGED TO buy one
~ the papers 20 which the announce
meni had been sent and there espied
something that made her Immediately
countermaud her order for the reser-
vutions aud unpack her bags prepHra-
