Don't you see without my say
ing?" asked Virginia, with IL gen

tions our right away and arrange
for the wedding out here this

"Tis beautiful, dearest" agreed
Pat radiantly. Then to us. you'll
not be denying that tits a lovely
thought and practical as well?"
And when you come right down
to it," said Virginia generously, ito
wkom do we owe every bit of it ?"
" Twas lucky day for the Har-
rison family and for one Pat Dali
ton when little Anne Lee changed
her name" murmured Pat seriously.
I'll say So" laughed Virginia.
II don't want to burble about it.
But ] wonder what We'll ever do
TO show Anne how we feel about
you'd find a way--if need be-"
burst in jim, striking n note that
stood out from the gentle melody
which had been played. And the
! first thing YOU con do to show my
girl how YOU feel about the dear,
| loving sweetness of her is to- save
ler from being n contributory cause
| to hurting someone she loves
What do YOU mean, Jimmie?"
asked Virginia. ,
| Phoebe and Neal into Wedding
while Fatker Andrews away"
My heart leaped up. How clever
! ly he'd done this. He was on my
! side. after all. Because | didn't
want the wedding hurried through
before Father Andrews return Jim
was ready to cry down the beautiful
and gencraus plan Jeanie had en-
volved in such joy. But l knew
Jeanie will enough to feel tral she
wouldn't yield with much joy.
"Oh, Jim she protested. How
! silly. Mr.. Hyland can't be very
sentimental about being at the we'd
ding or he wouldn't have closed
this particular season to go off or
Il hunting trip with 4 couple of
men as he's done"
He had to go! 1t was business
of serious nature that dragged
him off to the wilds just now,'
said Jim concisely. And the only
reason why two men went with
Kim and gave this the color of 4
pleasure trip is because Father An

pressed them that they altered THEN
plans in order to have him us &
travelling companion"
How flattering,' said Virginia,
noncommitally.
'Yes-a tribute to a rare person
ality, replied jim. For Anne's
sake you won't fail to pay your trib-
ute, too, well you, dear? We aren't
going to worry about a months
waste rent or a months postponed
happiness, are we-when the first
Harrison chance to honor Anne
comes along?"
'You bet not!"s cried Virginia un-
eXpectedly.
Then as unexpectedly she rushed
to my side and drew my head
against her heart.
Some girl, your little wife =
Jimmie! she said. "And you can
count on Jeanie to give her the
four-square deal she deserves"
You make me very happy" said
jim solmenly.
And so the evening melted awaN
in harmony and happiness MY cur
of joy seemed full to overflowing.

gree | couldn't feel | merited. The
climax of bliss came with the word.
Jim said to me when we were alone
in our dear, chintz-hung room:
"Jeanie said it and my heart sings
it-lass. 1t was the best day the
Harrison's ever knew - and the
blessedest-when you came into the
family"
I wonder if ever woman was hap.
