yores respectively.
Babe.
Bill Dale folded the bulky letter
and put it slowly back into the envel
ope. Then his gaze wandered through
a window and to where a golden
winged high-holer was hammering in
dustriously at the top branch of G
dead tree He smiled to himself, By
Heck and nearly all of the rest OF
the world for the moment forgotten
and muttered aloud:
"'Yores respectively, Babe"
'Haw, haw, haw!' laughed the keen
cared and watchful hiIlman in the
straight-back chair behind him
"'YOres respectively, Baber Haw
haw, haw! Well. Bill, dadsling it, II
shorely to goodness amt nothin' tc
turn all that red about When the
nights gone the day comes, don't it.
Bill, old boy, it's the same thing!"
"You get out of here. Byv Dale
stormed in mock severity. go and
help the commissary clerk with the
new goods; eh?"
Heck laughed another hOrselaugh
rose and went out.
When he had gone, Dale began t.
think-of the ultra-spOiled. charming
after-a-fashion, wealthy, young, high
night devotee, Jimmy Fayne. And he
wondered, and wondered, what would
come of Faynes quick liking for Babe
Littleford.
After he had viewed the matter from
above and below and all sides around
he frowned like d berserker.
Here is what came of Jimmy Fayne's
quick liking for Babe Littleford-
The days had passed swiftly, and au
tumn was far advanced. Save for 4
few chrysanthemums and asters thai
grew in places sheltered from tht
frosts, the flowers were all gone; the
naples were shedding their leaves Of
brown, crimson and gold.
