long run TO maze tonight, and besides
after these dances with you, | don't
feel that | want to dance with anyone
else here"
Anne looked up with a smile at the
very obvious compliment, and, as If
by common impulse, they moved to-
ward the lawn, to stroll up and down
in the moonlight during the lntermis-
sion.
Anne found her companion a most
interesting talker, as he told her of
the various places he had visited, ANA
the strains of music that announced
the next dance came all too soon.
81 think you have been most for
tunate in your choice of an employer"
she said to him, as they entered the
dancing room again.
"My employer? Why just what do
you mean?" asked the young man.
"Why," said the girl, mot many
chauffeurs are privileged to see as
much of the country as you apparent
ly have, judging from your conversa-
ton"
Not many chaufreurs," repeated the
young man, rather puzzled look on
his "why-er-" as Il thought
struck him, "why, yes, l guess | am
rather lucky at that, although I'm
afraid 1 hadn't really appreciated it
until you spoke"
Once more they glided Off, and at
the end of the dance Anne held out
her hand.
ut has been n very pleasant eve
Ming" she said. "Thank you for hay
ing helped to make it so. Good night
Mr., Stranger"
"Good night" and his hand closed
over hers, as he quickly caught the
meaning conveyed in her words.
Goodnight, Miss Mystery"
At the end of the hotel season, Anne
went up to Aunt James LITTLE noun
tain home to rest for a couple of
weeks, and then went back to George
Vile for the opening of school.
She found Georgeville all excite
ment. There was to be n reception
and dance to welcome the new super
intendcnt, and Anne, womanlike, was
just as eager as all the rest to see
what he was like.
"Well, you old DEAR" she said adj
dressing her remarks to her very
much wrinkled evening dress, as she
fiShed 1t out OF her trunk, "this makes
the second very unexpected appear
ance for you this season. Well, if
we have half as nice time together
tonight as we did on the occasion Of
our last party"-and Anne went off
into day-dream, from which she
was aroused by hearing the clock
strike six, which brought her to her
feet with "Mcrcy gracious, / must
press my dress or I'll never be ready
but he was certainly mighty we'll
informed for chauffeur, and he never
even asked me my name,' she finished
vaguely, not making it very clear even
to herself just what connection there
was between the first part of her SEN
teucc and the last.
Eight o'clock found Anne together
with the other teachers of her school
waiting her turn to meet the guest of
the evening. Anne was the last in
the line, aud as the usher gave her his
arm, the girl found herself rehearsing
the very correct speech with which
she hoped to make Il good impression
upon her new superior officer, but the
words died in her throat, and II light
| that was more than recognition leapeC
into her eyes as the guest of the eve
ming strobe forward to meet her; and
as his brown hand closed over hers
| he said softly:
81 must have the first dance, Miss
| Mystery"
And Anne, with the happy light still
glowing in her eyes, lifted them tC
his, and said:

superintendent"
