der"
"He is a gentleman, at any rate, -"
said Georgina, rather spitefully "he
is a person one can respect"
81 am sure he is."
"Well, what are we going to do?'
"The thing for you to do,' said All
NEE, "is to go on respecting AIexan-
der. And for him to go on respecting
you. Think how awful it would be
if it came out now. Alexander" said
Aimee, with a pathetic little break in
her voice, sis good. He doesn't get
into scrapes. He isn't in horrible
trouble like me-and nobody to help
me. 1 didn't think" she added with
a gulp, ''that you'd go back on me,
George -
Il won't and I can't" said Georgina
mournfully, "and you know it." But
she softened visibly. "You haven't
told me where you've come from, and
what you've been doing! I've been
frightfully worried about you"
Aimee regarded her thoughtfully. 1t
was clear that Georgina already had
all she could bear This was no time
to tell her about Billy.
"You needn't worry about me. I'm
staying at little place nearby. I'm
quite all right, and I've got some
money We simply must keep it up
for few days-father is leaving
Scroope Towers soon, and then I'll
show you how we can smooth it all
over"
"But don't you see how impossible
it is! Your father will come here to
see you before he goes. And he-he'll
expect you to write to him"
"How bright you are tonight,
George. You think Of everything" ;"
said Aimee briskly. She sat down at
the writing table by the wall, selected
a sheet of the Jervaulx note-paper
with the Lambe arms-three f1eeces
argent on a field vert-and with an
immensely serious face began to write
rapidly, pausing occasionally for
thought. Georgina watched in fasci-
mated horror
"Listen" said Aimee, blotting the
sheet and reading it aloud with much
satisfaction.
My Dearest Daddy: I arrived here safe
ly, and already I'm quite one of the fam
lily Aunt Erythea likes me much better
than she thought she would; she is very
nice and kind, and 1 have a lovely bed

at Jervaulx. tThats all perfectly true)
Cousin Alexander is awfully interesting
and like hearing him talk about Man
churia. He is a gentleman, and one fYels
he is really good and that makes me
respect him.
I'm awfully sorry I made such a fuss
about coming here, but never thought l
should have such a lovely time as I'm
having. So you needn't worry about me-
because I'm going to be quite happy
Your loving daughter.
AIMEE.
P. SIN case you thought of coming
over to see me soon, ought to mention
that the whole place is simply devastated
with mumps. Of course it's quite all
right for me, because I've had them.
Georgina emitted a moan.

"Stop it? l wouldn't stop it for a

Georgina stood up.
"You are out of your Senses" she
said dazedly; 81 won't listen to an
other word! Think how fearful it
would be If Alex-if Mr.. Lambe knew.
He"
"Aha-Alexander Yes. Is he as
owlish as his photograph? What did
you say to him, Georgina?"
"I-I-hardly anything. He told me
all about his missionary work in Man
churia. He"
"Where was that?"
"In the rose garden" Georgina
broke off suddenly

Georgina was speechless with indig-

soft wind OF the morning caressed
them as they rode. Not that it had
any pacifying effect on Aimee's spirit.
The sense Of adventure mounted to
her head like wine.
Here we are!' said Billy, turning
onto long. deserted stretch of high
road running delightfully."- level and
straight. He let the Sphinx out. For
eighty seconds the hedges flashed by
like long green streamers. At the end
of mile and half Billy stopped and
dismounted.
"Now," he said, "we're not going to
talk about how to sell the Sphinx vet
awhile; the first thing is to put you
wise to her. You've got to know her
inside out and backwards-an she's
the sweetest thing that ever burned
gas. Now, look here!"
Aimee kneeled eagerly on the grass,
and Billy iuently explained, disman-
tling the parts as he talked.
For twenty minutes she followed
him, testing for herself.

stopping and looking at her, "it's like

I'm an infant to you," said Aimee
admiringly. what head you've got.
It's everything motor engine ought
to be but never is. Let's take down

They busted themselves dismantling
and re-assembling the engine.
"Pll show you how to drive her
now," said Billy. Stationary, till you
get the hang of her."
Aimee mounted the saddle, while
the machine remained on it's stand.
and Billy showed her how to control
the engine running free with the
clutch out She took longer to grasp
this The controls, though simple,
were of an unusual type, In ten min
utes, however, she mastered them
pretty efficiently.
"Fine!" said Billy enthusiastically,
Partner, the Sphinx is your big Sis

I'll ride the pillion an coach you,
But for the lands sake go easy with
the throttle. She'll rush you clean
off the British isles If you give her
any gas
Aimee started dead slow. The ease
and resiliency of the drive, once the
Sphinx was running, astonished her.
Gradually Aimee increased speed to
fifteen and twenty miles She was in.

swering to the least touch of her
fingers.
"Glorious" she gasped.

tice stopping and starting, including
emergency haIts. "Say, isn't she the
last word in lady's mounts2'
"Rather!" said Aimee, in spite of a
sense of difficulty with her dress and
the Sphinx's tank, low though it was.
Except feel as if l were all stock
ings."
"Shucks! what of it?' he answered
impatiently. "There's nobody here to
see. Try her on the high gear now"
Aimee changed gear deftly enough,
and for awhile drove steadily. But
the intoxication of speed confused
her senses. She made the one mis-
take she had been warned against.
The Sphinx dashed forward like a
whippet, and, in trying to rectify the
error she made it worse.
Throttle down I" said Billy sharply.
Intending to obey, Aimee blundered
again, and closed down the extra air
inlet. The Sphinx roared in protest,
and shot ahead like a bullet from a
gun. The pace was awful How the
machine kept on the road was a mir

The Joy of Living

"Mrs. Summing, 2 Ivy cottage, lets
lodgings, announced Aimee trium-
phantly. you don't mind lodgings,
do you? Better than a hoteI-more
freedom"
Freedom for mine!' said Billy.
Lets try it"
Ivy cottage proved to be a pretty
little JacObean building fronting on a
green lane just outside Stanhoe. An
apple-cheeked woman, who was pick
ing weeds out Of the path, announced
herself as Mrs. Summing, and Billy at
once stated his needs, offering to pay
in advance.
"Why, yes, SIR" she said, smiling,
with a civil bob to Aimee 1--WE a
nice sitting room and a li'll bedroom !;
Mrs. Dale, next door, has another,
if you can do with thatY Mrs Dale
appeared, and confirmed the offer.
Both Of them looked at the pair with
smiling interest and wonder.
"Great!" said Billy. "You take the

ObhOA' w z IL sinai LAlS pd1LOAs
Aimee accompanied Mrs. Summing
indoors; the little parlor was clean
and cOzy, the bedroom, upstairs at the
back, tiny but clean.
Aimee made her toilet, descended
to the parlor and ordered meal.
Mrs. Summing acquiesced in every
thing.
Hes a wunnerful pleasant gentle
man, Mr.. Spencer" she remarked, and
then, hesitating and reddening, she
looked at Aimee. TT suppose, MISS"
she said with much embarrassment,
'it's all right?"
Aimee stared.
Cali right? How?' she said. "Ev-
erything's all right. Very much so I"
The woman's eyes betokened belief
and relief.
"Bless your pretty face, who'd think
anything else?" she said. you'll ex-
cuse my askin', miss. You see, Lady
Erythea is my landlord, and she owns
all Stanhoe."
Aimee felt a galvanic shock.
"Whom did you say?" she asked
dazedly.
Lady Erythea Lambe of Jervaulx
abbey, the big place half mile south
the cross roads. She fare wunnerful
strict, she do. It's as much as my
tenancy's worth to have any goings-on
here. That's ALL"
The woman left the room. Aimee
stared round her blankly, then col
lapsed into a chair She flung her
arms across the table, buried her head
in them, and broke into paroxysms
of impish laughter.
"Oh, my Christian aunt" she
sobbed. "My George! My Alexan-
der!''
Her shoulders were still shaking
wildly when Billy came in.
"Say, what's wrong?" he exclaimed
in alarm, as Aimee raised a tear
stained face. "Crying-eh? No,
laughing! That's good! That's the
cure for sentiment! But what's the
joker
"Just something thought of, that's
ALL" said Aimee, wiping her eyes.
That's all right" said Billy imper-
turbably. "Guess / amt inquisitive.
But folks mostly tell me their troubles
sooner or later"
Il suppose they do,' said Aimee, re-
garding him thoughtfully.
Mrs. Summing brought an abundant
meal; chiefly eggs and tea. Aimee
found it the merriest feast she had
ever sat down to. Finally, she ac-

DEVIL HORSE EATS
BAD BOIL WEEvILS
BULLOCK COUNTY FARMER
HIGHLY RECOMMENDS NEW
DESTROYER OF PEST.

If you think it is joke about the
devil horse" which gees after boil
weevils, see what the Bulloch Times,
at Statesboro, says about it:
Colonel Woodcock, farmer living
six or eight miles north OF States
boro, was displaying in the city on
Wednesday new weevil destroyer
which promises to do more than any
thing that has yet been discovered to
combat the weevil.
This new destroyer is nothing less
than an insect itself which lives upon
the cotton stalk and devours the wee
wills as fast as it can catch them. In
other words the new destroyer works
for nothing and feeds himself on the
waste product Could anything be
fairer than this?
MIR. Woodcock was displaying in
small bottle three OF the weevil de-
stroying insects which he had taken
while they were at work among the
weevils. These new insects seemed to
be a cross between a spider and a
bug The body of the largest one was
as large as a Yankee bean. The legs
were as long as spiders and it had

Mr. Woodcock declared that he first
discovered Saturday that the new in
sect was feasting upon the weevils.
To prove it he took one and placed
it in a fruit jar over night with thirteen
weevils. The next morning the weevils
had disappeared and the devourer had
grown proportionately in size. He
seemed to be a regular cann16al tor
weevils. Mr.. Woodcock stated that
the new destroyer was almost as pro-
life as the weevils. From the first dis
covery of the insect Saturday the
number had grown till there were two
hundred or more in the field eating
weevils.
NO, he hadn't offered any of them
for sale. He said he wouldn't sell them
at any price.
so there you are now with some
thing in the weevil line, 1t has been
generally recognized that no evil eN-
