I T UCILLE went up to pack her ba
~ and Archie strolled out on the
| terrace outside the hotel. where he
smoked. communed with nature and
thought of Lucille. He always thought
of Lucille when he was alone, espe-
cially when he chanced to find him
self in poetic surroundings. The
| longer he was married to her the
more did the sacred institution seem
to him a good egg. Mr.. Brewster
might regard their marriage as one
dents, but to Archie it was, and al
ways had been, a bit of all right.
The more he thought of it the more
did he marvel that a girl like Lucille
should have been content to link her
lot with that of a class C specimen
like himself. His meditations were,
in fact, what happily married mans
meditations ought to be.
He was reused from his revery by
a species of exclamation or cry al
most at his elbow, and turned to find
that the spectacular Miss Slverton
was standing beside him. One Of the
marvellous eyes was screwed up. The
other gazed at Archie with an ex-
preston of appeal.
| There's something in my eye" she
said
"No-reGlly?"
II wonder if you would mind: 1t
would be so kind of you"
To twist the lady's upper lid back
and peer into it and jab at it with
the corner of his handkerchief was
the only course open to Archie. Lu-
cille, coming out Of the hotel Just as
the operation was concluded, ought
not to have felt the annoyance she
did
Thanks SO much" said Miss Sill
verton.
''oh, no; rather not" said Archie.
| Such a nuisance getting things in
your eye"
| Absolutely!
| I'm always doing it,"
| Rotten luck"
But I don't often find any one as
clever as you to help me-"
| Lucille felt called upon to break in
on this feast of reason and flow of
soul.

to walk round with you before my
train goes"
"Oh-ah" said Archie, perceivine
her for the first time. "Oh-ah-yes
lright-o-yes, yes, yes."
On the way to the first tee II seemed
to Archie that Lucille was distrait ant

THE HERMITAGE funrivaled d
scenery, superb cuisine, Daniel
Brewster, proprietor) is a pic
turesque summer hotel in the
green heart Of the mountains, built
by Archie Moffam's father-in law
shortly after he assumed control of
the CosmopoliS. Mr.. Brewster him
self seldom went there, and Archie
and Lucille, breakfasting in the airy
dining room one morning in August,
had consequently to be content with
the two out of the three advertised
attractions of the place. Through
the window at their side quite slab
of unrivaled scenery was visible;
some of the superb cuisine was al
ready on the table, and the fact that
the eye searched in vain for Daniel
Brewster, proprietor, filled Archie, at
any rate, with no sense of aching
loss. In Archie's opinion, practically
all a place needed to make it an
earthly paradise was for Mr. Daniel
Brewster to be about forty-seven
miles away from it.
ITS going to be another perfectly
topping day" Archie observed, Just
