upon the vast sweeps of country
below. The day was clear and sweet,
with bright sunshine and gentle
preezes. Peter felt romance stirring
within his bosom as he gazed into
the lively, blue eyes of the girl
seated beside him. Emotion stirred
MIN and he spoke thus:
Roberta, all my life I've waited
Tor such a girl as you. To me YOU
are the most wonderful and beauti-
full thing alive. Darling, will you
marry me?"
"Applesauce." said Roberta, pluck
Ing at q spear of grass, and more
10 the point, banana oil. Marriage
is the bunk. I'm perfectly happy
and contented as things stand at
the present sitting, and not at all
afraid OF dying an old maid"
Peter stared at her aghast. Words
stuck in his throat.
L beg your pardon" he finally
managed to say. Did I understand
you to say that you weren't inter-
ested in my proposition?"
That's it exactly, old sweet
You're a good kid to play around
with. but for husband, nix! You're
too conceited and horribly good
looking. I'd have time of it keep
ing other women away. Forget it.
Pete, and let's 60 dance some place. )"
They drove home in utter silence.
Peters thoughts were somewhat
sour-grapeish. He never did like
Roberta, he told himself. After all,
the girl for him was Marlene, kind,
gentle Marlene; loyal, trustworthy
and dependable.
Peter deposited his thwarted love
at her gate and sped to the home
OF Marlene May Stearns. Seated
upon the porch of the tiny cottage
were two people, Marlene and one
Dave Harlow. Good old Dave, what
a friend he was.
Up the path sprinted Peter, and
once more inner emotions provoked
words from his lips. Hello, folks"
he said. II didn't have to go, after
all, Dave, old pal; I trust you de-
Ivered my message to Marlene."
Il did," said Dave, unabashed.
Il pulled John Alden, so to speak.
Marlene told me to speak for my
self, and I spoke Shake hands with
the future Mrs. Harlow, Peter. Old
man, I've tried to get up enough
courage to propose to her for a
year."
