"A young man who brought you
home from the dance" Mrs. White
looked down her severe nose at her
Pretty stepdaughter, Emily, who was
languidly eating late breakfast after
the festivities Of the night before.
Emily dabbed a bit of marmalade
on her buttered toast, and raised her
soft eyes to her stepmother's. "The
young man who brought me home,
mamma" she said prettily, rs the
proprietor Of the large garage In the
village"
Mrs. Whites cold eyes widened with
horror.
You mean Tins Garage'r' she
gasped.
"Yes-hls name is Timothy Seares."
II should think you would have had
more pride-more sense of decOrum,
than TO be driving around with q mere
garage mani" The long, thin nose
grew pink.
Emily wondered how her beauty-lov-
ing father had ever happened to marry
her stepmother. Perhaps 1t was be-
cause she could relieve him of all the
routine Of maintaining the family
home.
II don't think Timothy Seares is
merely garage man, mamma" de-
INJURED Emily. HE is a fine fellow,
college graduate, and his people are"
Mrs. White lifted protesting hand.
my dear Emily, please spare me.
dare say that he is a most worthy
young man who has worked his way
through college and deserves a great
deal Of credit for that. As for his
people, can just imagine that they
might be plain farmers folks-am l
right7"
Emily dimpled. Il believe that his
father does have farm" she muir
INJURED.
Mrs. White smiled complacently.
There, my dear, can always trust
my Intultion-it Is infallible II he
had belonged to the Newheld County
Seares family, I would have told you
that he was quite all right, and"
But bow could you explain the ga
rage-Tim's Garager interjected EN-
lily.
Mrs. White waved long pallid fin
ger in a negative gesture. an that
case, a son Of the Newfield Seares
might keep a garage Just for the fun
of it."
Emily had found Timothy Seares,
of whatever lineage, 80 clever, kind
and gently bred that she had almost
lost her glrlish heart to him. She
sighed a little as she wandered along
a path that led among the pines and
cedars Of the grove, and finally out of
the garden and into the real woods.
"Ohw exclaimed Emily. and stood
very still with one pretty hand on
her heart.
Upon log that lay against large
chestnut tree sat Timothy Seares,
looking very smart indeed In his light
gray tweed with a blue shirt that
was most becoming to his tanned face
and hands. He wore no hat and his
dark brown hair chung In damp waves
TO his well-shaped head.
He rose and formally bowed Good
morning. Miss Whlte-do you ever ex-

Emily shrugged carelessly. my ia
Their usually bothers about that" she
murmured, filled with a sudden shy
ness because Of his eyes.
How long have you known me, EN-
ily?" asked Timothy with startling
suddennessL
-Four months and seven days and a
half" returned Emily promptly, and
then she had the grace to blush under
the light Of his eyes-thc glad. glad
sight Of his dark blue eyes. Ever
since I was little girl I have learned
to count the many pleasant days Of
my life"
''Thank you, Emily" he said gently.
There was silence between them
for little while. and then Timothy
moved further down the log until he
sat close to the girl. She did not
move, only sat there, looking beautiful.
ly expectant for happiness.
