Somner Brett scCwled as he
swung open the heavy hotel vesti-
bule doors and stepped into the
crowded street Evidently the
charm of the sunny April after
noon, which seemed to brighten
the faces of the passing throngs,
had no effert upon him, for the
scowl grew deeper as he mediated.
To Brett, the thought that he had
three whole hours in a strange city,
with only the prospect of a rather
dull dinner with Ambrose Potter,
when he could be enjoyably spend
ing the time elsewhere-the Lin

stance-was annoying, and his
scowl deepened into 4 heavy frown.
But, suddenly, all signs of an
noyance disappeared and the mans
face frightened with interest In
Voluntarily he threw back his shoul-
ders and. buttoned his topcoat.
A golden-haired, blue-eyed bit of
feminine daintiness was the cause
of his sudden change of mood. Not

golden-haired miss that happened
along-but he really believed that

Potter would have scoffed at any
remark intimating that his friend
Brett ever harbored such roman
tic dreams.
He could not tell, in the brief
second glance that he had dared to
steal in her direction, what she
wore, except that her trim little
suit was of some pleasingly dark
material; but the colors in her
silken scarf fairly fascinated him

the next breath that he had vet to

such glorious hues.
The girl stopped at shop win

by shop windows. The girl dropped
silver pieces into the aoutstretched
hands of the beggars who thronged
the streets with the burst of mild

And his rainbow" scarf girl was
actually speaking to him, thanking
him for his kindness.

happy. And her voicei He won
dered how he could ever endure the
dull monotony of Potter's nasal
tones, after listening to such sill
very sweetness.
The walk to the tearoom was
ridiculously short, but luck again
favored Brett, for the girl, with a
tiny pout of disappointed surprise,
found that her friend had not ar
rived.
But the pout changed into a
dimpling smile when a ''Waffles and
Syrup" sign tempted Brett to sug-
gest a cup of tea, and the adventure
progressed famously.
1t was not until he met Ambrose,
waiting as stiffly and sedately as
only Ambrose A. Potter could
wait, that Brett came back TO
earth, and then he tried to visual
lie the look OF polite incredulity
that would appear on his friends
face, if he were to hear of the after
Moons adVentuCe. Brett smoth-
cred a chuckle as he discovered
that he had not heard one word of
Potter's conversation.
Sorry you're here for SO short a
time, Somner," Ambrose was say

precise gesture, Il wanted you to

Oh, yes, Brett remembered. Am

He wondered if waffles were in4

Do you serve waffles ?" he il
quired OF the waiter, who promise
vaguely to see"
You were surprised to hear of
my engagement" Potter asked. as
he fumbled in his coat pocket. He
produced photograph and, with a
flourish which surprised Brett, ex-
claimed: Meet the future Mrs.

at the picture, and then stared and

Brett sank back weakly into his
chair. but managed to summon
strength to stop the passing
waiter.
Never mind the waffles!" There
was savage tone in his voice.

Trade Frontiers and Merchant Ships.

Blind to the best interests OF the section of
the country which they represent. many south

American foreign commerce than has the south.
This will be apparent from even a cursory con-
sideratioa OF the commercial situation. The
TWO great undeveloped sections of the world
