heard that her Aunt Harriet and
her Uncle Joe were frequently de-
scribing Mr.. Atwater's recent ex-
plosion to other members Of the ex-
tensive Atwater family league; and
though she had not discovered how
Aunt Harriet and Uncle Joe had OBJ
tanned their material, yet, in Julia's
way of wording her thoughts, an
account of the episode was "all over
town." and she was almost certain
that by this time Noble Dill had
heard it. And so, lest he should suf-
fer, the too gentle creature seized
the first opportunity to cheer him
up. That was the most harmful
thing about Julia: when anybody
liked her-even Noble Dill-she
couldn't bear to have him worried.
She was the sympathetic little prin-
cess who wouldn't have the puppy's
tail chopped off all at once, but only
little at time.
Il just happened to see you going
BY" she said, and then with an
astounding perfection of seriousness
she added the question: "Did YOU
mind my calling to you and stopping
you, Noble?"
He leaned dropping upon the gate
post, seeming to yearn toward it;
his expression was such that this
gate post need not have been sur
prised If Noble had kissed it.
"Why, no" he said hoarsely. "No.
l don't have to be back at the Office
any particular time. No."

She hesitated. "Well, it really
doesn't amount to anything-it's
nothing so important couldn't have
spoken to you about it some other

"Well"--- said Noble, and then
on the spur Of the moment he con-
tinued, darkly: There might not be
any other time"
How do you mean, Noble?"
He smiled family. T'm thinking

what trouble such performances oot
her into. Noble, you don't

He made vocal sound conveying
recklessness, something resembling
a reckless laugh. II might go-any
day! Just as it happens to strike
me-"
But where to, Noble?"

why, Noble Dill"
There's lots Of openings in
China" he said. "a white man can
get a commission in the Chinese
army any day."
"And so." she said, "you mean
you'd rather be an officer in the
Chinese army than stay-here?"
With that she bit her lip and avert

turned to him again, quite calm.

things; she was born that way, and
no lessons changed her.

"When will that be, Noble?" And
in spite of herself, Julia spoke IN

quiet that the footballs of the
striding Noble were like an inter
ruption of coughing in a silent
church, AS he seethed adown the
warm sidewalk the soles of his shoes
smote the pavement, for mentally
he was walking not upon cement but
upon Mr. Atwater.
unconsciously his pace presently
became slower for a more concen-
trated broodipg upon this slanderous
old man who took advantage of his
position to poison his daughters

suitors who cared in the no5lest way
And upon this there came an infini-
tesimal consolation in the midst of
anguish, for he thought of what
Herbert had told him about Mr.
Newland Sanders's poems to Julia
and he had a strong conviction
that at one time or another Mr.. At
water must have spoken even more
disparagingly Of these poems and
their author than he had of Orduma
cigarettes and their smoker. Per-

Julia, but I am here to get that
man! Perhaps you remember what
your father once said to me-and
when what have to do here is done,
perhaps you may wish to write home
and mention few things to that old
man" And then a boys changing
