replied "But here comes our third
man, and he's sure of welcome or
mis- own wherever he goes-its dear
old Tony"
In the moment before Tony had
finished greeting me and had turned
to Carlotta | got a queer impression
that she started and paled under
her crimscned cheeks. But by the
time / turned to address her, Car
lotta was just herself again-a lit
tie flamboyant, a trifie overhearty,
but warmly sincere for all that.
Have you time to let me whisk
you up the road for a cool hour or
two at the inn out on the river
bank?" asked Tony
"Please-please don't let me keep
you, but l don't think I'll be able
to go. I've just remembered an ap-
pointment," cried Ca:lotta, with
more uneasiness than Id ever seen
her show.
"Oh. but that's a great disappoint-
ment" protested Tony heartily, and
his words fairly overlapped my pro-
testing:
"Pll eat at a hot-dog wagon, Car
lotta, before I'll permit myself to
be separated from you"
"Do you really want me?" she
asked, turning from one to the
other of US like a pleased child.
or course, we insisted, touched by
the simple, unassuming way in
which Carlotta would have endured
broken engagement rather than
be in the way. But as we drove
out toward the river / wondered a
little.
Carlotta isn't the self-effacing
sort nor yet the over-sensitive type
who always fancy themselves de
trop. Was there something on her
mind today which she'd been par
ticularly anxious TO discuss with
mo? 1t might even concern Pat. l
grew a little uneasy as l con-
jectured and conjured up situations.
And in the midst of my silence I
noticed how huently Tony was talk
ing. Carlotta seemed to bring him
out the way his very best friends
did. And she was fairly hanging
on his words with the most fatter-
ing attention.
1t wasn't till lunch was almost
over that understanding came to
me-then all the little things that
had puzzled me for the last hour
became suddenly clear.
PAT ALMOST A STRANGER
NO. I don't see much of Pat Dal-
ton any more" she was saying.
He's on his feet now-doesn't need
my friendship as he did. And the
business is right in his hands

you sound wistful." Tony re-
piled. surely you don't think you
could ever be useless or forgotten.
There would always be a place for
anyone of your deep sympathies
anywhere"
"One can so easily intrude," re-
piled Carlotta, and her voice was
wistful indeed. But I'm grateful
for what you've been saying. Com
ing from so loyal a friend of Annes
1t means more than / can tell you"
And then, like fash some
words OF Carlotta's came back to
me. Grim little, sad little words
confessing that there was a man
man she could love and idcalizc.
but that she had no right to try to
win him and that he didn't know
she was on earth, because there
was another woman claiming his
attention. Something in her intent
eyes made me feel that Anthony

human nature wasn't the same at
all ages when a lovely woman en-

To all these comments he was
oblivious; he moved in a new world;
he found himself dreaming of Teo-
dora; in every flower he saw some
thing that reminded him of the
girls personality; the sparkle of
her eyes, the raven lustre of her
hair, the whiteness of her arms, the
olive tint of her cheeks; the skies
and the fields, the winds and the
little colors and happy scenes of
daily life all conspired to move
him because they recalled some
thing that made him think of her.
To Don Julian the world was in
love and therefore lovely. In re-

eye his past of struggle and test.
Had he been lonely and discour-
aged? Had he been patient and
forbearing? Had he done his best

this was his reward, and the sever

atoned for by the happiness of his
