which Mrs. German had placed be-
fore us. The oysters and the delicious
broiled fish which had formed the
first two courses of our dinner at
the quaint Shakespeare House" had
been removed by her sister a few mo-
ments before.
Dicky had not been SO absorbed in
his meal, however, as to miss any
graceful movement of Miss Draper's.
The admiring gla ices which he gave
her as she served US with quick, deft
motions were not lost upon me.

them either. although her manner was
perfectly calm. Indifferent courtesy.

|cellent cooking. wished, oh, so
heartily. that the meal would come
to an end. From the moment Dicky
had set eyes on this girl in the rail-
road station five hours before, when
we were beginning our little trip to
the country, the days outing had been
spoiled for me by his evident attrac-
ton toward her.
He had said that his sudden inter-
est in her was only that of an artist
for woman of unusual beauty, whom
he hoped to engage as model. But
although l tried to console myself
fifth that viewpoint, yet the little
mocking devil which has always been
at my elbow. kept whispering another
Interpretation:
That's very convenient way for
Dicky to disguise his interest in this
woman, to say he admires her only
as a possible modelir
My face must have reflected my
thoughts for Dicky leaned across the
beautifully carved old table upon which
our meal was served and said in a
low tone:
For Heavens sake, Madge. cheer
up. You're about as companionable
as one of those oysters out there in
the Kitchen. What's the matter, any
way?"
There is nothing at all the matter"
I returned as quietly as I could.
Are you tired? Want to go back
to the city after dinner"
No. indeed. On the contrary. II
would like to go down to see that
harbor of which the caretaker at Put |
nam Manor spoke"
"Sure. Well do that. Don't be dis
appointed. It isn't harbor in the
regular sense of the world, but it's in |
teresting."
I'm sure I shall like it." I said, as
Miss Draper came in and seeing we had
finished our chicken pie, cleared the !
table in preparation for dessert.
'Ill bet it is something scrumptious,"
Dicky as she disappeared. |
He has a sweet todth if ever anybody
had one. and anything in the line OF /
desserts interests him.
When it came it justified his antici- |
pations. Mrs. German bore the tray
In on which 1t was served, cherry

sauce.
You're in luck" she said with a |
naive pride in her own culinary ability,
as she served the pudding. 81 don't
often make this pudding, and my
canned cherries from last summer are
getting scarce. But my sister came
home unexpectedly this morning, and
this pudding is one of her favorites.
So I made it for dinner. / thought i
perhaps it would cheer her up"
Miss Draper, who entered at that |

Her cheeks flushed, and her eyes
cast a warning glance at Mrs. Cor

'S.I am sure this pudding would cheer
anybody up" said Dicky genially. at
lacking his.
.Tt is delicious" I said, and. in
Iced, it was. 81 have tasted nothing
ike this since I was a child in the |.
Mrs. German beamed at the praise.
She evidently was a hospitable soul.
would you like the recipe for it?"
she asked.
Indeed she would, Dicky struck in.
