and-hidden in the shadow on the far
side of the freight shed-he mourn
fully watched Ann get on the train
for Tottenville.
He then burned up the Tottenville
road, beat AIMS train in and-con-
cealed behind a baggage truck-saw
her get off. She was greeted by a
plump, red checked woman, who was
probably Aunt Emily, and whisked
away in an old flivver driven by a boy
in OverallS.
Instead of asking the station agent
Aunt Emily's last name and where she
lived. Henry elaoorately inquired the
way to the Tottenville garage, though
he had already noted it on his way
through town. Then, in a rambling
conversation, he achieved, after some
hours, the information he sought with
out any direct questions.
Twice he vas we'll along the road to
Aunt Emily's farm and turned back.
The third time he passed it. The
house was dark, but his searchlight
verified the name on the mail box. At
eleven O'Clock, supperleSs, he started
for Syracuse.
BY half past four the next afternoon
he was back in Tottenville. This time
the Dalmartin Six, without hesitation,
with, perhaps, a certain desperation,
swung off the cement highway and
took the dirt roads with uns)acked
speed, skimming the hills on high like
a thoroughbred hound. 1t was a crime
against magnificent car performance
for Henry to apply the brakes when
he did.
Jumping out, he unscrewed the radi-
ator cap. A cloud of steam issued
forth. Was it possible that he had
forgotten to put in water? Nothing
for it, he must ask at the nearest house
for a bucketful!
AS he advanced between the white
washed stones that marked the path
to the front door, Ann appeared on
the porch.
why Miss Forester said Henry
with a great show of surprise.
why, Mr.. Bryant" said Ann, AND
she, too, was terribly surprised.
"I-a-ran out Of water" The steam
o%bligingly ascending ~heavenward, bore
Henry witness.
"I-a-" Ann almost said twas
! standing at the window" but she would
rather have cut out her tongue thar
admit that. II heard you stop all OF
a sudden"
Marvellous brakes on these cars,
Henry assured her. -Four wheel, in
ternal expanding drums, special Dal-
martin fabric lining. I'd like to show
if you could spare the time-that is
right now"
This, Ann understood, was an invita-.
ton to go for a ride. Though how
could she mistake 1t with Henry's eye'
!, b%eseeching, pleading, humbly implor'
ing? And how could Henry think tina
she wasn't going when AIMS blue eye
gave answer in the sweetest, shyes
glance? But he was like a drowning
man until he heard her words.
{ II can't go far" said Ann, a littl
, breathlessly. "Supper's almost ready
t I'd better get my hat" She pause'
with her hand on the knob Of tn
screen door. "You want a bucket o
: water, don't you?"
Seems to have cooled off," SAT-
Henry, who felt that the slightest de
lay was perilous. II can fill 1t up whel
/. we get back"
After Ann explained to Aunt Emil,

Professor Forrester's daughter
Henry stammered IN a funk choking
voice.
And we'll nigh as smart as her dad
right now, from what l hear up at
the college. She'll be takin' his job
away from him one O. these days"
Ann smiled at this pleasantly. Then,
with a nod OF good-by to Sam, and, oh,
the ~f1eetest glance and the quickest
little tilt of the head to Henry, on
down the street she sped TO families
grocery store, where she had to get a
dozen fruit jar rings for Aunt Geneva
There wasn't the slightest need for
haste. But SO fast Ann hurried you
might have thought her little black
slippers were running away with her.
So fast was her heart beating, and SC
hot and flushed were her cheeks, that
MI. Fantle warned her against SUM-
stroke, and cautioned her to keep on
the shady side Of the street.
And this Ann did, the whole long
roundabout way home. She felt that
she would rather die than walk back
past Carson's garage. At the same
time, she felt she would die if she
didn't. And-strange, considering the
heat OF the day-she climbed the hill
twice. Yes, when almost at the tor
she turned and was three whole blocks
back toward town before she turned
again and slowly retraced her steps.
Strange, too, that the visit to Aunt
Emily's farm, to which she always
llooked forward each year, should sud
denly seem unnecessary and miserable
A whole week! And, my, the time il
took her to finish packing that little
trunk, though all she had to do wa
to lay in four freshly ironed dresses
Such terrible home made looking
clothes! With a certain violence, sht
suddenly took all the books out of thu
trunk, SO that the despicable garment!
need not be crushed.
For an hour she stood at the win.

minutes. When it finally came, an(

When Ann disappeared round the cor

of their business, Henry with a large
smudge on his left cheek and another
round his right eye because he had
forgotten that his hands were covered
with that composition Of grease, oil,
carbon and road dust which garages
seem able to produce in inexhaustible
quantities. But this was Henry's native
element, you might say, and a happier
person you couldn't have found in all
New York state, as he stood idly watch
ing the sun peer through the avenue
that marked the beginning of the resi-
dence section.
And then a funny thing happened!
Henry saw a vision! Advancing through
the patterned light and shade she
came, a most unusual, delightful ap-
partition in a dress Of heavens own
blue, and crowned with a Wide-brimmed
halo-no, a hat, of course-that shed
a golden radiance over the sweetest,
demurest,. most adorable face in the
world.
Now the hat va an old leghorn
which had done duty many summers,
as Ann Forester could have told you.

This delightful arrangement, how
ever, kept Ann from any great salts

Her nose was straight, what there was
