Nothing OF the house could be
seen from the street This was not
all due TO the height OF the wall. but
60 the trees and stopping land as
well still il was a very high wall
and a solemn one, so forbidding that
h demanded conjecture.
To the youths. reclining on the op-
posite lawn. IL afforded outlet for all
that the spring had awakened in
them. There was already a pro-
neunced difference In their types, al
through their bond Of youth and i'm
ag!nation had developed and Hkened
them.
Tom and David were strongly
contrasted. the former a sturdy.
wholesome youth, big aud blond.
with love Of action twinkling from
his light blue eyes and the latter a
pale and dreamy lad with thought
full dark eyes and slim form.
Dick. the third. was a remarkable
mixture OF his two friends He
combined David's mind with Toms
action. and so. unconsciously ruled
the other two. IL was a wonderful
friendship triple alliance. Even
their day dream was the same: the
girl whose name they knew and
nothing else except that she lived
in the dim house beyond the wall
"Of course ! know just what
she's like David. the dreamer. was
saying in his dreamiest tone. she
doesn't want 10 gO-she's afraid TO.
She's lived there so long that she's
part OF it,"

blue eyes stormed as ne turned them

giSe her wanting TO stay there Dick?

OF course some one keeps her there
and I'm going to get her away"
why yes. Tom" Dick answered
slowly, Il can imagine that she NIGH
want 10 remain. Dave usually ha'
some good ideas but never makes
anything out Of them. She might
want 10 stay. Dave. I agree with
you Tom. though. that someone
ought 10 get her out. only that some
one isn't going to be you or Dave fol
that matter"
Tom and David looked scornfully
at each other
That's a good compromise. Dick,
agreed David, you see the trouble
with Tom is that he can't think OF
fighting such an abstract thing as
girls character and inclinations
He wants 10 have an irate father oil
something like that 70 overcome"
And the trouble with you. Dave.
Dick defended the wrathful Tom
"is that you don't think Of over
coming anything. ] suppose you
think you aren't worthy and couldn't
make her happy"
And then as Toms clear laugh
rang out Dick added-"and above
all. you're the best sport about kid
ding I've ever seen"
Il suppose that's why you both dc
il so much" laughed Tom.
"Of course. Tommie, or We
wouldn't want to-" agreed David.
cor dare to-" Dick chimed in.
Then with peace restored. they re-
turned to their favorite subject.
IF we can't decide whether she
wants TO stay there or not, let's dis
cuss why she ever went there in the
first place" suggested David.
why, of course, her grabbed ole
father is keeping her away from the
world because he hates it,
II know It was an irate father you
wanted. Tom. When will the elope-
ment come off?"
Well. before you pick on mine
Dave. let's hear your idea"
why she comes of a wonderful
family who have lost all their money
and they don't want her to associate

You're too practical for Dave
Tommie. Don't you see. her name is

We'll, what's your idea, Dick,

why Princess Lydia is probably
sacrificing her life there for some
one she loves r.
And what good could it do any
one to have her hide away"
"Oh, Tom, you're so frightfuIly
exact Why bother with a little de-
tail like that?"
We'll. in any case, none OF us
would be worthy OF her. especially
if she were so noble" declared
David, the idealist.
