nothing outward about him explained
the more sinister of F1orence's two
adjectives. Yet she had true occasion
for 1t, because on the day before she
began its long observance he had made
her uneasy lest an orange seed she
had swallowed should take root and
grow up within her to a size inevi-
tably fatal. Then, with her cousin
Herbert's stern assistance, Florence
had realized that her gullibility was
not to be expected in anybody over
seven years old, after which age such
legends are supposed to be encoun-
tered with the derision of experienced
people.
Her fastidiousness aroused, she de-
cided that Henry Rooter had no bust
ness to be talking about what would
happen to her insides, anyhow and so
informed him at their next meeting,
adding an explanation which absolute
ly proved him to be no gentleman.
And her opinion of him was still per
fectly plain in her expression as she
made her present intrusion upon his
working hours. He seemed to re
ciprocate.

PART ONE

BY the end of October, with the dis
all summer long as a pleasant screen
for whatever small privacy may exist
between American neighbors, we begin
to get our autumn high tides of goS-
sip. AT this season of the year, in our
towns of moderate size and ambition,
where apartment houses have not yet
condensed and at the same time
sequestered the population, one may
secure visual command of back yard
beyond back yard, both up and down
the street; especially If one takes the
trouble TO sit for an hour or so, daily,
upon the top of a high board fence at
about the middle of a block.
OF course an adult who followed
such a course would be thought pc
culiar; no doubt he would be subject
to undesirable comment, and presently
might be called upon to parry severe
If, indeed. not hostile inquiries; but
boys are considered so inexplicable
that they have gathered for them
selves any privileges denied their
parents and elders; and a boy can do
such a thing as this to his full content,
without anybody's thinking about 1t at
all. So it was that Herbert Dlings-
worth Atwater, Jr., aged thirteen and
a few months, sat for a considerable
time upon such a fence, after school
hours, every afternoon of the last week
In October; and only one person par
ticularly observed him or was stimu-
lated to any mental activity by his
procedure. Even at that, this person
was affected only because she was
Herbert's relative, and of an age sym
pathetic to his-and of a sex antipa-
thetic.
In spite of the fact that Herbert II
lingsworth Atwater, Jr., thus seriously
disporting himself on his fathers back
fence. attracted only this audience of

tant window his behavior really
should have been considered piquant-
ly interesting by anybody. After climb
ing to the top of the fence he would
produce from interior pockets a small
memorandum book and a pencil sell
dom putting these implements to i'm
mediate use. His expression was
gravely alert, his manner more than
businesslike; yet nobody could have
failed to comprehend that he was n
joying himself, especially when his at
titude became tense-as at times It
certainly did. Then he would rise, bal
ancing himself at adroit ease, his feet
aligned one before the other on the
inner rail, a foot below the top of the
and with eyes dramatically
shielded beneath a scoutish palm, he
would gaze sternly In the direction of
some object or motion which had at
his attention and then, having

at least that they could be found at
their place of business. Therefore,
she ascended the cobwebby stairway
to the loft, and made her appearance
In the printing room of the North End
Daily Oriole.
Herbert, frowning with the burden
of composition, sat at a table beyond
the official railing, and his partner was
engaged at the press, painfully setting
type. This latter person. whom Flor

with a look OF pain. How often we

you give us a little peace?"
The pinkiness of Florence's alter
ing complexion was justified; she had
not been near their old office for four
days. She stated the fact with heat,
adding: And l only came then be-

you to stay outside of it, I guess!"
"Oh, haven't II"
NO. you haven't-I!" Mr.. Rooter
maintained bitterly. you just walk

Florence uttered a cry of derision.
And pray. whoever told you | was

Mister Henry Rooter?' And she con-

impulse, so ancient, which in despair
of touching an antagonist effectively,
reflects upon his ancestors. IF you

outraged. "You try and behave like
a LADY,"
who'll make me?' she inquired.
"You got to behave like a lady as
long as you're in our newspaper build

IF you expect TO come up here after

Herbert looked desperate, but was
unable to form a reply consistent with
some rules of etiquette and gallantry
which he had begun to observe during
the past year or so. "Now, see here,

climbed the high board fences, one af-

pause at the top of that whereon the
two journalists had lately made them
selves SO odiously impressive.
Before her, If she had but taken
note of them, were a lesson in history
and the markings of a profound transit
ton in human evolution. Beside the
old frame stable was a little brick
garage, obviously put to the daily use
intended by its designer. Quite as OBJ

body would nave known from its out
side that there was no horse within
it. Here. visible, was the end of the
