NeVer a Wof0 FaSSeO BerWGen nem was a girl whom he was taking great pleasure in seeing. Not every night not, for instance, the night that he had met GeOrge-but very frequently John Henry found on his arrival in the one small reading room of the library an occupant at the table-a slim, duSlly-haired girl bent over pile of books, pads and newly sharpened pencils.
 Never word passed between them, but sometimes one caught the glance Of the other. There would be a little blush on the girls part, a bit of self consciousness on his, quick dropping of two pairs of eyes, and intense ab- sOrbtiOn. She was very pretty.
 Then one evening after she had left, John Henry found a notebook she had dropped. Across it was written Ruth Kent" and as he held it, debating whether to turn it over to the libra rian, d picture t1uttered out from the leaves. It was of her, and on the back he saw that she had inscribed, "LOv- ingly yours."
 Quite absurdly, wave of jealousy swept over him. He decided to take the picture home with him, rather than have it given to the person for whom it was intended, and that night, after studying it fondly, he tucked it away between his collars and handkerchiefs in his bureau drawer.
 It was there his mother found if a week later The girlish face, with it's sincere eyes, confirmed her opinion of her sons good taste. The lovingly yours" on the back quite took her breath away. Nice young girls with faces like that did not give away their pictures with affectiOnate superscrip- tiOn to casual masculine acquaintances --0nly to feminine friends or to their bCtrothed. Why. the idea! John Henry must be engaged! She sat weakly down on the edge of the bed. Then she rose, mOpped her eyes, and hastened. unintentiOnally gloating, to share the secret with Ellen Baker, mother of George.
 Now, if it had not been for George Baker, his aunt might have discovered her mistake. John Henry might have come to his senses and returned the picture, and George himself been spared a blow. As it was, George. worming out of his mother the cause Of his aunt's mysterious visit, let out the information by degrees. John Henry suddenly became an object of romantic interest for the first time in his life, liked the sensation, and began to wish his position was genuine.
 It was Ruth Kent, herself, unwit- tingly, who brought things to head. One sunny afternoon, in the pursuit of for a magazine, the pro- ceeds of which were to assist her through college, she rang the bell of the house of John Henry, unaware that she was performing an act of des- tiny.
 For John Henry's mother, suddenly confronting the original of the photo graph in her sons bureau drawer, was seized with wish to be nice to her future daughter-in-law, while not dis closing to her, without her sons. per that she shared their secret.
