Bill looked up. He noticed that
the. girls eyes were of pretty blue
and that they were round.
"But I'm not very good looking" he
suggested, and Flora surprised but still
sans coquetry answered: well, you're
not so very TALL but you're well built.
Napoleon was small and yet he had
ability. You've got better shaped
head than Napoleon"
There was little delay, and on their
wedding trip they went to the western
town where lived Bill and Bella. It
was to be a surprlse-Steve liked sur
priSes-and they CHANGED to arrive In
the town on the same train that Bill
and Bella were taking from a little
shopping trip to the nearest town.
They were behind Bill and Bella.
"But do you think this hat is be-
coming" asked Bella, who was no
longer quite so 1.-THE as she had been
a dozen years ago.
Perfectly charming, my DEAR" said
Bill, YEARLY. "You are charming In
everything. often say that with a
wife as handsome as you"
"That was rather poor pie we had
for dinner at the hotel" interrupted
Bella. 81 noticed you ate yours fast
enough. hope you didn't like 1t bet
ter than mine"
ut wasn't a patch to yours" was
the tired reply. "You are the best
cook in the world. have often told
you that had a great deal more than
most men to be thankful for. hope
you know appreciate"
Steve and Flora just stayed right on
that train when Bill and Bella got off.
and when they got off at the next stop
they turned around and went back
again. Steve told Flora he had
changed his mind about stopping of
there; that he had important business
to attend to and a week later when
they took their belated honeymoon
they went far from Bill and Bella.

rather dirty"
81 think you said when you came
in that you had no particular place
to CO." began Margery. "Would you"
she gasped at her own boldness, but
bravely finlshed-"care to stay-for
supper-with father, Bob and me?"
Egg heaters, spoons, cake tins, slft-
ers and such were very much in evil
dence during the next half-hour, while
a very pink-cheeked Margery and Rad
ford, with an apron on, too, hurried
back and forth, both chatting merrily
as they worked.
Imagine Mr. SIS and Bob's sur
prise when they came home that eve
ming to be met at the door by a radi-
ant Margery tiourishlng an egg beat
or, while behind her doomed a tall,
good-looking sailor, with broad grin
on his ruddy face.
Folks" began Margery excitedly,
"please meet"
But she never finished, for with one
leap Bob s. reached the side of Rad
ford, and EXPLANATIONS such as these
issued from the eager lips of the two
young men:
Great Scott! You here? Why, I
thought I'd lost track of you forever
How the world"
"Why didn't you tell me you lived
in this district? I'd been up here
yesterday, first thlngl Boy, but it's
good to see a familiar face"
With eyes wide open, Margery stared
at the excited two, who were shaking
hands vigorously, and pummellng each
other on the back. Had they gone
crazy2 But Radford settled her doubts
by explaining to her with twinking
eyes: ITS my turn to introduce, Miss
s. Your brother Bob and are old
friends; we roomed together In college,
and we haven't seen each other since
graduation"
That night the little party gathered
around the supper table.
After a merry evening Radford de-
parted. but not until he had left be-
hind him promises to return and talk
over again the college days with
Bob.
True to his promises, Radford did
come often and was cordially greeted
by the $. family
Maybe I'm little suspicious--but II
seemed ms If college was not the only
topic OF conversation and that Bob
was not the only one who conversed
with Radford, most of the time.
Anyway. when Radford's furlough
was ended he left behind him a very
precious promise and a sparkling soli.

Turn back a century and a half and
you will see, strolllng along the garden
walks at Versailles, Doctor Johnson.
He did not consider that Paris seen
in hurry lent itself so easily to re-
mark as the Hebrides, and his impress
slons Of Versailles he left unrecorded.
II Doctor Johnson did not find much
to say on the subject of Paris. Paris
had some remarks to make about
Johnson. His appearance, his figure
and manner" quite astonished them.
He insisted on wearing "brown clothes,
black stockings, and plain shirt" and
on speaking Latin to all and sundry,
because, Boswell explains. II was a
maxim with him that man should
not let himself down by speaking
tongue brokenly.

question he had made a clean breast
of the case to his youthful cousin and
explained that as he had accepted an
invitation to spend the afternoon and
take tea with the lovely Bella he could
not go fishing with his small cousin,
as that young man had expected he
would.
So they parted at the white stone
that marked the driveway of the
Mapes farm that summer day dozen
years ago, and after trying to find
sport in fishing alone and making nu-
merous resolutions never to get silly
about a girl" young Steve entered the
Mapes farm by back way and found
a shady place beneath a lilac bush,
where he might nurse his resentment
in the vicinity Of his cousins undoing
and possibly make observations Of the
charming Bella. 1t was all entirely
lnconceivable to him that any young
man. least of all his cousin, Bill Bur
ton, could find more satisfaction In
the society Of any girl than in himself.
There was certainly nothing under
handed in sitting quietly under the IL
lac bush and watching Bill and Bella
If they passed, especially as he would
never divulge to anyone whatever he
might see or hear
He might have observed that Bella's
blue eyes shone with unwonted happi-
ness and that she was decked out in
her crispiest white frock. But Steve
couldn't see that Bella looked at all
different than usual and 1t was incOn-
ceivable TO him that Bill was greatly
enjoying himself. Then he overheard
this:
"But you really are the dearest, best
man In all the world-really you are
and | ought to know, because ! have
brothers and cousins and I've always
known lots Of boys. And you are, OH
so good-looking, BIZ. Truly you are.
never cared about a mans being SO
awfully tall II he was only well built
and you are awfully well built, Bill
Why, Napoleon was lots shorter than
you are and Alexander Hamilton
wasn't bit taller. 1t isn't as II was
a great tall girl"
Steve listened more intently. Some
how this kind of talk interested him
II threw slde-lights on this matter OF
courtship that he had never dreamed
of. There was lot of talk In between
and then he listened again.
81 know you are going to make q
great success, Bill. Men with fore
heads shaped like yours always do II
they are started out right. And you
are started out right because your
hand shows that you have splendid
talent for business. / just know yor
are going to make great success
oh. nm so proud Of my Billy. He's
just the dearest, best, bravest man In
the world"
AT the next opportunity Steve crept
out of the lilac bush and made tracks
for home. Later he confessed to Bill
what he had heard.
u see now why you wanted to go
and get engaged" he said. " didn't
know that was what II was like before
cause, or course, no one but your
girl would ever tell you al those
things. Gee, but she thinks you are
just perfect, don't she, Billi | don't
suppose she over -noticsd those freck.

Twelve-year-old Bill Burton kicked
the large whitewashed stone that
marked one side of the driveway that
led into the Mapes farmhouse, and his
cousin, n decade older, looking little
sheeplsh and decidedly uncomfortable
in stiff starched collar on the warm
vacation day, patted the boy on the
back.

his months vacation at the Miller
farm, where for several seasons he
had shared the boyish pastimes of his
cousin, had become first smltten with
