the minds of the drivers of these

drivers stop, look, and listen at
railroad crossings, but they should
be careful in crossing bridges and
driving over bad places in the roads

Yet II was not in that future merry
making that she found her joy, but in
the consciousness that he--some one
anyone-was planning like this for
her.
Meanwhile Di and Bobby had round
ed the corner by an old hop-house and
kept on down the levee. Now that
the presence of the others was with
drawn the two looked about them diff
ferently and began themselves to give
off an influence instead of being
pressed upon by overpowering person
allties. Frogs were ehorusing in the
near swamp, and Bobby wanted one.
He was off after 1t. But Di eventu-

account of the use of frogs for bait,

stones. Dl grew restless. There was.

this to be gone through before Bobby
would focus on the personal. At
length she was obliged to say, Like
me today7" And then he entered
upon personal talk with the same
zest with which he had discussed bait.

They had now come that far. II

partly it was that they both--and es-

enough to assume the pretty role re-
quired by the other, and by the occa-

was as skittish as a colt Ina kept
silence, head poised so that her full

who had previously hidden cooky in
her frock, now remembered II and
crunched sidewise, the eyes rumlnant.
Moving toward them, with Di. Bobby
was suddenly overtaken by the sense
OF dlsliking them all. He never had

was the signal for Di to tease him

Bobby grinned appreciatlvely. He
was good to look at, with his big

that she would be willing to elope

1t flashed across the mind Of Bobby
that in these plans of hers he may
not always have been the principal,
