Bill Dale folded the bulky ietlei
and put 1t slowly back into the envel-
ope. Then his gaze wandered through
window and to where golden
winged high-holer was hammerng in
dustriously at the top branch of II
dead tree. He smiled to himself, B!
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 hillman in the
Straightforward chair behind him
'Yores respectively, Babel. Haw

Heck laughed another horseIaugf,
rose and went out.
When he had gone, Dale began to
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 F'ayne's quick liking for Babe
Littleford.
After he had viewed the matter from
above and below and all sides around.
he frowned like a 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 q
few chrysanthemums and asters that
grew in places sheltered from the
frosts. the flowers were all gone; the
naples we're shedding their leaves Of
brown. crimson and gold.
Ben Lttleford's daughter had
changed much In many ways. She had
tried as hard as ever mortal tried to
learn the correct use Of words; and
Mrs. Dale had been patient. painstak
ing and efficient in her teachings. Not
that Elizabeth was educated. In any
real sense Of the word. Far from It.
But her Improvement was, in all truth.
quite remarkable. She wore more or
less costly gowns now, and few
Jewels, thanks TO Mrs. Dale and
wherever she went she attracted ad-
miring glnnces.
Jimmy Faync had been coming to
see her when Mrs. Dale would per-
nit 1t, which was not very often. Jim
my Fayne. as Patricia McLanrin had
once been moved to say, was a far
seeing young man for all his weak
nesses: ne had known in advance that
the laurel bloom would change to a
rose, and then to white hyacinth.
Perhaps he even considered the fact
that she would make better wife for
him. and better mother for his chill
dren. than some fragile and over-cul-
tured woman of a patrician house that
had about run out. Al any rate Jim
my rnync. the ultra-spOiled, had de-
citeh that he would marry her.
During those weeks that had been
made happy by an occasional hour at
the home of the Dales. Fayne had not
once mentioned marriage. He figured,
and wisely enough. that to he too
quick with his proposal would be to
lose everything '''''
