 The bridegroom started and star cd as if a ghost had appeared. Trembling and frightened the bride, Priscilla, hid her face in his shoulder. For it was Miles Stand ish, returned from the wars. He had not been killed at all; 1t had all been a mistake.
 Forgive me-" he said to John Alden. "All is forgotten between us except the dear, old friendship" Then, turning to the bride. he wish ed her joy and smilingly said, q should have remembered the adagc, If you want q thing well done, you should do it yourself.'"
 Great was the peoples amaze ment, but greater still their rcjoic- ing to have their beloved Captain back once more safe and sound. They crowded around him all talk ing and questioning at once and the happy bride and groom slipped off unnoticed to their new home.

JOHN w. BROOKE, hardware magnate, widower and father of three grown children, Constance, Billy and Alice, has been away for several weeks since arranging with a firm Of efficiency experts to have his homo put on an economic basis. fIo returns 10 find his Fifth avenue mansion filled with guests cclcbrat- ing the engagement of Constance to H. Hedge, tho man who is supposed to be introducing methods of econo- my and efficiency into the house. hold.
 He tells the man at the door that he Is the owner of the house and is saved by Constance just in time to keep the police from arresting him as a supposed lunatic. Constance in troduces him to Hedge. John w. tells them that they are "disengag- ed" and gives Hedge 50 seconds 10 get out of the house.
 NOW GO ON WITH THE STORY H. Hedge made no move to ac- complish such nasty exit. Instead he again smiled benignantly at John W. Brooke. "Only Connie can disengage us," he observed. "Of course if Connie wants to-" Connie doesn't intend to-" said the owner of that name, slipping her hand into that of the ex-cffi- cicncy man. Be reasonable, father"
 Yes, be reasonabe,' advised Hedge.
 Reasonable. Great snakes. I find my home bedlam, my money squandered. myself outraged, my daughter engaged, everything gone stark, staring mad-and l am told be reasonable.'

 Constance reached up and kissed her young man.
 Father" she said sternly, T hold you personally responsible for anything that happens 10 him." 1 Alice came in search of her sister half an hour later,
 What in the world has hap pened?" she demanded. And where is E. E.? We've been looking all over for you. Been a quarrel?"

top of a small poplar tree eating bark, and he hardly stopped long enough 10 look down at that hunt CT.
 He don't know enough 10 be afraid" thought the hunter, But in this he was mistaken. The truth was, Prickly Porky knew too much to be afraid. He knew that hunter wouldn't shoot him. So he kept right on with his business, which was to strip the bark from that little poplar tree.
 But If that hunter thought there was no one about he was mistaken. He himself was being hunted. He little people of the Green Forest know that 1t Is easier to avoid dan ger when you know where dan ger is. Even Buster Bear himself was eager to know what that hunt CT was about, so as soon as he had recovered from his fright he be- gan to hunt for that hunter. He began by moving silently in a big circle until the Merry Little Breezes tickled his nose with the man scent. Then he made a face, showed all his teeth, growled to himself and started to follow up | that scent until his nose told him that he was near enough to that hunter.
 Lightfoot the Deer did very much the same thing, only he stole for ward to where he could see that hunter and just what he did and at the same time keep out of Bus ter Bears way. Even Yowier tho Bob Cat, keeping to the thickest and darkest thickets, crept along al only a cat can, watching every move that hunter made. Sammy Jay fol lowed silently through the tops ot the trees and Blacky the Crow perched in the tops of high trees from which he could see some distance through the Green Forest In a way they were all hunting that hunter. They were keeping track oi him so that no one would unsus. pectingly give him chance to use that terrible gun.
 There were times when that hunt CT had a feeling that he wat be- ing watched. He didn't know wh. he had that feeling. but he did have it. Then he would stand still for the longest time and listen with all hi might and look with all his might But with all his listening and al his looking he heard and saw non' of the little people. Not even thu little birds came near him. By tn, time, he. reached the edge of thu Green Forest he actually was feel ing lonesome. It was a relief to hea Sammy Jay suddenly begin t' scream at the top of his lungs Thief! thief! thief! thief" It wa Sammy's way of letting all tn other people in the Green Pores know that that hunter was leavinI the Green Forest and there no long CT was need to hunt him.

 That's what E, F. is trying to find out"
 Hes with him? 2"
 Constance nodded uneasily.
 Don't you worry about E. E.. Connie. He isn't as heavy as father, but he's more scientific"
 Having delivered this consolation, Alice returned 10 the party down. stairs.
 Another half-hour elapsed before Constance was awakened from her gloomy rcverie by the appearance of her father. closely followed by II. Hedge. Neither Of them had a black eye.
 Connie" demanded John w. Brook, "are you resolved to marry this man."
 "Yes, father"
 If forbid you to do SOP"
 "Yes, daddy dear"
 Mr. Brooke drew a deep breath and looked at H, Hedge.
 Doesn't it beat the band how stubborn some people are?" he said. And she's not twenty-one yet"
 He bit off the end of cigar and fumblcd in his pockets for a match.
 T blame you very largely for this, Connie" he said in stern voice, i've been hearing about what happened in this house. It seemed that you three children did all you could 10 upset the plans l made for you"
 "Oh. they were all right inter rupted H. Hedge hastily.
 Don't interrupt me, sir, l know as much about 1t as you do. Of course, was fool to think 1t could be done. But at the very least ] didn't expect my own flesh and blood to rise up against me. It's un- tilial. I'm disappointed-aggrieved- upset. You've gotten me and your selves in a hole--but I'm the one that has to pull you all out. You say you've announced this engage ment downstairs?"
 Constance nodded.
 And still you wonder why the heathen rage. You go and announce it before l ever set eyes on him. Well, what does it mean? I'll tell you: it simply means you've got to go through with it--that's all"
 "Father-you dear" cried Con- stance.
 Keep away from me; I'm not through. Yes, the pair of you have to go through with 1t. When a Brooke makes a promise, it goes. It runs in the family. I wouldn't let you get out of the scrape if you wanted to. There; that's settled. Now, here's the next thing. What are you going 10 live on?

 She's asleep she whispered "and that's the best thing for her I've moved the other bed close 10 her. and shall sleep there. If she awakens, I'll hear her"
 ] doubted this last statement, but ] knew the utter futility of argu- ment with her. She had constituted herself Katherine's nurse for the night and she would not consent 10 any other arrangement. After all, 1 reflected, Katherine was not dan gerousy hurt, and she was in no need of constant watching. No doubt after her terrifying and eXhausling experience she would sleep until morning.
 You're sure you don't want me-" l said, knowing she would refuse my offer but also knowing that she would resent my not making it.
 What would l need you for?" she demanded causIcally and then her tone softened.
 "Iou'Ve been through enough for one night, Go and get some sleep"
 Thank you, Mother" l returned gratefully. but as l walked toward ldllian's room after l had closed the door, l wondered if she meant only my experience with Fanny Powell. CT If she also guessed something of my strenuous scene with Diclly.

 My answering smile was a Wry end feeble affair and l sank into the chair she lullcd out for me with d feeling of utter exhaustion.
 Just turn off your engine for q few minutes" Lillian commanded, 'and drink thiS.'
 From a pot upon q table standing by her chair she poured q cup of steaming coffee, aided cream and sugar and passed it to me. As I looked at her accustngly, she held up both hands in a pleading, apolo- Eetic gesture.

 But with all his care he saw DO living thing at which 10 shoot. It was just as if there were no little people in the Green Forest. It was as still as only the Green Forest can be at times.
