Pretty Marguerite Stanley looked
discontentedly out of the window at
the slanting lines Of the rain that beat
the dust in the road to lathery mud
and dripped musically from the gut
ters around the broad piazza of her
home.
"Of course" she said to her moth
er, who was sewing in the next room,
"of course, it had to rain-on this day

special grudge against picnics. Yes
terday was clear, and day before yes
terday-and I'm sure that tomorrow
will be. But today"
"Well, dear, if tomorrow is clear,
you can have your picnic then" Mrs.
Stanley's voice was absent. She was
considering a problem in embroidery
and was not just sure how to attack
it. Her daughters petulant voice re-
piled: "Well, if we put it off till to-
morrow it'll rain tomorrow-that's
sure" Mrs. Stanley made no reply
and Marguerite tArned to contempla-
tion of the dreary rain.
Suddenly her face changed from an
expression of woe to one of wonder.
Through the driving rain that rem
dered objects indistinguishable at any
distance a dgure, oilskinned and SOU
westered, was beating its way like a
schooner tacking against a strong gale.
The figure carried something bulky
under its arm, and it was coming up

ahead of the maid, and in a moment
was confronting a familiar figure who
stood, grinning and dripping, on the
porch.
"Why. Billy Watson" she cried
"What on earth ale you doing out in
such weather? You must be soaked
your shoes! And what's that you have
under your arm?"
Billy Watson grinned wider and
shook himself. A process that caused
Marguerite to retreat hurriedly out of
range of the flying drops that shot
from his oilskin. Then he spoke.
''Today's the day of the picnic, isn't
it?" he demanded. "And it's too rainy
to go to Bogg's Woods. So I thought
I'd come up here and have a little
picnic of my own-with you"
"Oh!" Surprise held Marguerite
speechless. Billy went on.
There's some junk to eat in that
bundle, and it didn't get wet, either.
I brought sandwiches and cake, and
there's coffee in thermos bottle. 1

can have our own sic right here in

very definite. "After 1 went to all

"We'll eat anywhere you want, only
come in before you catch your death

Mrs. Stanley greeted Billy warmly.
for she knew and liked him; but she,
too, seemed unimpressed at the idea of
a picnic lunch. "I'll tell Dlnah to lay
another cover for lunch," she said,
and vanished on her mission, despite
the protests of her guest.
Left to themselves, the two stared
at one another for moment, and then
Marguerite burst into. laughter. "Your
picnic isn't going to work, Billy" she
said. Gwen mother won't let you be-
