PAGE TWO. "BOBBIE, GENERAL MANAGER" By Alice Higgins Proiity. Copyright, 1913, by Frederick A. Stokes Co. NEXT WEEK "BAT WING BOWLES," BY DANE COOLIDGE (Couriiiued From Our ljHst ln«ue.) I try to be nice to Edith. It Isn't easy. I don't like her, and I don't like her methods, but I don't tell her so. We don't quarrel, al- though we mix about like oil and water. Of course Kdith has her good points. For instance she is the most generous person I ever knew, and she's good nature itself. She'll take an insult from you, pay you back in your own coin and then exclaim: "Oh, come on, let's not tight. There's a dear! I.ct'tt go to the matinee this afternoon." She has a lot of practical ability, too. She's a bom manager, and as systematic as a machine. The trouble with Kdith is her ambition. Bhe wants to stand at the head of all society In the world, and to get there she Is ready to work till she drop*. There used to be, and are still, lots of: beautiful country places sprinkled j around Hilton. These summer peo- ple never mingled very much with Htltonites, but as soon as Edith I wan able to walk she was liouml to mingle with them. Well, she has realized that ambition. She has fairly hypnotized Ruth. My little sister thinks there Is no one like her. As soon as Kilith married Alec, she took complete possession of Ruth, provided her with a lot of lovely clothes, and Bent her off, for the first winter, to a fashionable boarding-school In New York. After eight dazzling months of that sort of life she ordained that Ruth should return to Hilton and "come out." Last fall she gave her a reception that fairly thrilled the town. Kdith's word is sacred la*- to Ruth. I am a mere speck on Ruth's outlook on life. Perhaps as much a* anything else It Is Kdith's Complete possession of Ruth that hurts me. I don't cry about it (I won't let myself l, but I think I've missed my own mother more since I was twenty than before 1 was ten. It Way be a comfort to mothers Whose little children have grown out of the helpless ago to know this from a grown-up (laughter. 1 don't know what to say about my brother Alec. I have no idea what he thinks ahout this new life of ours. He doesn't confide in me \u25a0ny more; we nre almost strangers now. Of course I should expect 111 in to be loyal to his wife —he's such a thoughtful man that he wouldn't hurt Kdith's feelings for anything but I wonder and won- der « litre all his old qualities have gone. Once Alec was married and I liad made up my mind that I couldn't run away to New York and rain my way, or hire a house Of my own and live bj» mjself, I buckled down and did my level best to adjust my likes and habits to the conditions of Kilith's reign. One can get used to anything, I believe. I suppose every reader of thi.H resume chapter of mine Is simply skipping paragraphs by the dozen in the fond hope that he'll run across some exciting reference to Dr. Maynard. People are always so suspicions of an old love-affair. Let me relieve your mind. As much as you may he disappointed. I must announce that I nm not re-! serving any sweet sentimental; morsel for a climatic finale. Far from It. I haven't got It In re- serve. I only wish I had. A swel memory Is hucli a comforting possession, a thrilling romance of the past such as reinsurance. But it Is very evident that Dr. Maynurd has no intention of pro- viding me with sweet memories or thrilling romances. All the balm and comfort that his proposal may have given me in the beginning he bas destroyed by being hopelessly commonplace ever since. i I wish you could read bis let- ters! Impersonal? Why, they might easily be addressed to a maiden uuut. Never once has he referred to that starry night, when he asked me to go to (iermauy with him; never asked, as any nor- mal man would do. If I bad chang- ed my mind. Not that I have in the least. I haven't! Only It seems to me almost Impolite not as much as to Inquire. Dr. William Ford Mavnard Is becoming quite well known here in America. There has been sev- eral articles already In the maga- zines about him and the remark- able results (if his scientific re- search. I ought to be flattered to receive envelopes addressed to me from him at all, I suppose. We write about once a inontli. But as honored as I ought to feel, 1 suppose, to share the resultn of this man's famous work, the truth Is 1 don't enjoy his letters one hit! I am glad I was fore- sighted enough not to marry auch a passionless man. I never would have been satisfied. I see It clear- ly now. My letters to him are regular works of art. I'm bound not to let him pity ins. at any rate, and if he 'ii write cheerful aud enthusiastic descriptions so can 1. To Dr. May- nard 1 am simply delighted over our burst of prosperity and social splendor. Kdith's improvements on the house, I rave over. I describe bridge parlies, teas and dances as if I gloried in them. Only onco did Dr. Mayuard con- descend to refer to the past, and that was in a little insignificant postscript. This is what he wrote, all cramped up In a little bit of space, ami lie had signed his name: "How in Han liamis™ pro- UreN.sliiK In her reconstruction? Ditea she m-id nny outaide in I," in building up her In- m- ilinl city? I'leane let mo know when she doe*!" 1 tell you I wrote him the gay- est, most flippant little note I could compose —\u25a0 all about how busy I was with engagements, etc., etc.; and then after I bad signed my name, along the margin of llm impel- I said: " Alioiii Sun I lhim-i-i •>— shi« is progressing wonderfully, .she doesn't need any help from .nit one, unless |H>ssllilv lead i< rights to keep her from HoarinK- The eat'tli<|iiuko did IH'|- (("'"l' Hlie'H Ih'I'OIIiIhK very modernized, uud when you see her next I doubt If you i cni/i> her nn account of all the cliiiugc*." If Dr. Maynard couldn't afford a fresh sheet of paper, go upstairs and shut hinißelf in his room, Rnd ask me seriously and quietly, if I j were unhappy or lonely, I would starve first before I'd ask bread of him. CHAPTER X. Joy »t I.Mst Four months later. Twelve o'clock at night. Wrapped up In my eiderdown bath robe. Sitting at my desk. It Is midnight. I cannot sleep. I have seen Dr. Maynard! It occurred at four o'clock this afternoon. I was on my way home from a shopping tour, and with my bandl full of packages, I turned up Obailes Street as unconcerned i as you please. At the corner I bowed to our miniver's wife, and the remains of the smile were still on my face, 1 suppose, when I saw Dr. May- nard. I didn't know that he was nn this side of the ocean, and when I observed him coming down (he steps of the poatofflce—viifor- MM and strong and buoyant I i stood still in my tracks, ;>nd the remains of the smile turned Into i something startled and afraid. \u25a0 »— —» »ww» *w*r «w> «wwv «»»»* *«»»»V *»»iV V**»»V *"»»«V~rfs#»*v *«# An Old-Fashioned I Children's I Entertainment FREE TO EVERYONE No Charge to Get In.

"H«lto, Hobble." he said, In his hearty did voice, and I looked back at Mm, perfectly white I could feel that I wad—and speechless. "Don't lie a goose. It's Just Dr. Ma>nard," 1 tried to reason with myself. "Am I speaking to Miss Lucy VarH?" I heard :isked me. "Miss Lucy Chenery Vars, of 240 Maiu Street, Hilton. Mass.?" I nodded, and somewhere down there in the chaos in my chest, I found my poor little voice. "Is It you?" I asked Hhaklly. "Well, I'm not <niite sure. Noth- ing looks very natural around hero. I'm beginning to thing I'm some- liiml*' else." "Well, I am surprised!" I ex- ploded. "I certainly am surprised! Why. I never was so surprised!" I stopppd a minute. Dr. Maynard was smiling right down into my eyes. "I never was so surprised in all my life!" 1 repeated, as if I hndn't another Idea in my mind. He loaned down just here and picked up a half-dozen bundles, more or less, that I had dropped when we shook hands. "I better help you carry some of thepp home, hadn"t I?" he sug- gested. "Oh, yes. do," I replied eagerly, and somehow me managed to walk back to the bouse together. F don't know through what streets we went, past what bouses. I can scarcely recall of what we talked. "He's cotne home! He's come home! He's come home!" kept ringing in my ears over and over again, like Jubilant chimes. "Dr. Maynard has come home!" When he first camo In view of 240 Main Street and stood stock- still in his tracks, and gasped, I wanted to throw my arms around him for joy. It was In the sunken garden that the most Important part of our conversation took place. You remember, don't you, that in my letters to Dr. Mayuard I had al- ways been enthusiastic over the improvements Edith has made on old 24 0. So now It was with ap- parent pride that I led my old friend down the granolithic steps into the one-time apple orchard. I was all enthusiasm. Kdith wouldn't have recognized me. Kuth would huve thought I had lost my reason. Even Dr. Maynard looked at RM curiosly. "It certainly la all very fine, I've no doubt," he remarked. "Yes, isn't It?" I exclaimed. "Hut 1 must confess," he went on. "I never objected to the old apple orchard. Just about where |the pool Is now, there used to grow the best old Baldwins I ever tasted." "Oh, my," I scolded, "you ought to see the bouncing Oregon apples Kdith huys by the crate." Dr. Maynard shook his head and limited, Then he camo over and sat down beside mo on the Italian Heat. "Well, well," ho sighed, "I sup- pose old Kip must get used to the changes that have taken place since he's been asleep great sweeping estates with granolithic drives and sunken gardens; in- fctoad of good old snappy Xew Kng- land Baldwins, apples Imported from Oregon; and Instead of a girl In a red Tam-o-Shanter and her father's old weather-beaten ulster, sitting behind the wheel of a little onr-lun^er automobile, running it, In all sorta of weather, like a young l>iie/.<> - instead of that girl," said Dr. Maynttrd, looking up and down closely, "a very correct and up-to- date young lady in kid gloves and a veil, a smart black and white checked suit, a very fashionable hat (I should call It), with a hunch of primroses, to cap it all, pinned jauntily at her waist." I blushed with triumph. "I've Just about come to the conclusion," added Dr. Maynard in a kind of wistful voice, "that I don't know San Francisco at all now." "Well," t laughed waverlngly, "I do hope you'll find It a little more civilized that It was before." "I never thought it uncivilized," aald Dr. Maynard quietly; "I rather enjoyed it just as It was, to tell the truth. I shall be sorry to find many changes In It because I shall have to become acquainted with H a'l over again and my time la so short." "Short?" I exclaimed. I don't know how I had drawn the sudden conclusion that Dr. Maynard had come to stay. Tils very next words put an end to my lltfe half-hour of jubilance like the airoouncement of a death. "Yea," he said; "I'm sailing back to Germany In two weeks. I was appointed an executor of a distant relative's will, and it seem- ed necessary to come to New York and attend to it. Of course I couldn't be so near—San Francis- co—without coming to see how It prospered after the earthquake. I'm glad to find you to happy, Bobbie. You've richly earned all this," he iglanced around the dis- play that surrounded us, "both you and Al, end It's really fin* that the change in your circum- itancts came about, when you, i.mcv, were still a young girl, and just ready to appreciate and en- joy good times, and pretty sur- roundings, and new young people. Sometimes the apparent catastro- phes work out for our best hap- piness. You are happy, aren't you. Bobble?" "Oh, yes—perfectly happy," I flashed indignantly. "I thought so. Your enthusiasm brims over in your letters. Well, well," twitted Dr. Maynard, "who ever thought Al's little sister. THE TACQMA TIMES. whom I lifted to gall 'wild-cat,' would turn Into a society girl—a mighty popular one, too, if I'm any judKf. Parties and •nKagc- intDtn all the time, I suppose. Now I'm just curious enough to won- der," went on Ur. Maynard teas- lngly. while my feelings, hurt and enraged, were working up to one of their haliitual explosions, which one of thuHe admirers I hear mentioned In your letters' sent you your pretty primroses' this iiinriiiim." "No one sent them," I blurted out. "If you must know, I bought them mygeir five minutes before I »aw you. Those men in my letters were Ruth's friends, not mine." Dr. Maynard glanced at me sharply. "Oh," I went on fiercely, "I'm glad to know if you think that I'm nappy, it shows how well you understand me. Happy! I'm per- fectly miserable, If you want to know th« truth. I hate and loathe and despise all this display you say I've so richly earned. I hate parties, and splurge, and sunken P,ardens, and pergolaa, and I haven't a single solitary admirer| In the world. I thought you knew, me, but I see you don't. I thought. If you ever came back you'd un- derstand, but you don't—not one little single bit. I thought you— you--" I stopped abruptly. There's no use trying to hide tears that rum shamelessly down your cheeks. It was absolutely necessary for raei to ask for my bag which Dr. May-] nard held, and produced a hand-! kerchief. He didn't say anything as I mopped my eyes. I thought perhaps he was too shocked to speak. Me didn't offer me a single word of comfort —- just sat and waited. I didn't look at him and still with my face turned away X said, subdued apologetically, "I don't nee what Is the matter with me lately. You mustn't mind my he- ing so silly. I'm always getting 'weepy' for no reason at all." I opened my bag, tuoked away my handkerchief, as a sign that the storm was over, and stood up. "I hope you won't think that I usually act this way with—with all those admirers of mine," I added, smiling. Dr. .Maynard ignored my at- tempt nt humor. "Lucy," he said (piietly, but in a voice and manner that made me start and catch my breath, "my real reason for coming to America wasn't the. will. It was you." He stopped and I looked hard into the center of the dry pool. "I mis- trusted some of your letters lately, though I confess not at first. You've been overdoing your en- thusiasm this winter, Bobbie. So I decided to come over and find out for myself If you had been trying to deceive me. The will offered a good excuse, so here I am. And you have been deceiving me—for two whole years. Why Bobbie," he said very softly, "what shall I do to you?" I glanced up and saw the old piercing tenderness in hln eyes. "Don't be kind to me," 1 warn- ed hastily; "not now not for anything. Please, or I shall cry again." I heard Dr. Maynard laugh the tenderest, gent lest kind of laugh, and In a second both his arms were around me. Vps, both Dr. Maynord'H arms were close around me! I didn't cry. I Just stayed there quiet and still and safe; and I've been there in imagination about every moment since. * Dawn is breaking. Still I can- not sleep. I have just opened the little secret drawer In my desk and taken out that old picture of Robert Dwinnell. I gazed at my old Ideal for a .solid sixty seconds, then deliberately, through the very smile that had once thrilled me, I tore th.it poor picture into a thousand bits, and dumped the remains into the waste basket. For, oh, Robert Dwinnell, you never, on any st.-ise, made love as wonderfully and tenderly as Dr. Mayuard; and as for me, I, too, know love, the sort I've dreamed about all my life, at last.

"BOBBIE, GENERAL MANAGER"By Alice Higgins Proiity. Copyright, 1913, by Frederick A. Stokes Co.

NEXT WEEK "BAT WING BOWLES," BY DANE COOLIDGE

(Couriiiued From Our ljHst ln«ue.)I try to be nice to Edith. It

Isn't easy. I don't like her, and Idon't like her methods, but I don'ttell her so. We don't quarrel, al-though we mix about like oil andwater. Of course Kdith has hergood points. For instance she isthe most generous person I everknew, and she's good nature itself.She'll take an insult from you, payyou back in your own coin andthen exclaim: "Oh, come on, let'snot tight. There's a dear! I.ct'ttgo to the matinee this afternoon."

She has a lot of practical ability,too. She's a bom manager, and assystematic as a machine.

The trouble with Kdith is herambition. Bhe wants to stand atthe head of all society In theworld, and to get there she Isready to work till she drop*. Thereused to be, and are still, lots of:beautiful country places sprinkled jaround Hilton. These summer peo-ple never mingled very much withHtltonites, but as soon as Edith Iwan able to walk she was lioumlto mingle with them. Well, shehas realized that ambition.

She has fairly hypnotized Ruth.My little sister thinks there Is noone like her. As soon as Kilithmarried Alec, she took completepossession of Ruth, provided herwith a lot of lovely clothes, andBent her off, for the first winter,to a fashionable boarding-schoolIn New York.

After eight dazzling months ofthat sort of life she ordained thatRuth should return to Hilton and"come out." Last fall she gave hera reception that fairly thrilled thetown. Kdith's word is sacred la*-to Ruth. I am a mere speck onRuth's outlook on life. Perhaps asmuch a* anything else It Is Kdith'sComplete possession of Ruth thathurts me.

I don't cry about it (I won't letmyself l, but I think I've missedmy own mother more since I wastwenty than before 1 was ten. ItWay be a comfort to mothersWhose little children have grownout of the helpless ago to knowthis from a grown-up (laughter.

1 don't know what to say aboutmy brother Alec. I have no ideawhat he thinks ahout this new lifeof ours. He doesn't confide in me\u25a0ny more; we nre almost strangersnow. Of course I should expect111in to be loyal to his wife —he'ssuch a thoughtful man that hewouldn't hurt Kdith's feelings foranything but I wonder and won-der « litre all his old qualities havegone.

Once Alec was married and Iliad made up my mind that Icouldn't run away to New Yorkand rain my way, or hire a houseOf my own and live bj» mjself, Ibuckled down and did my levelbest to adjust my likes and habitsto the conditions of Kilith's reign.

One can get used to anything, Ibelieve.

I suppose every reader of thi.Hresume chapter of mine Is simplyskipping paragraphs by the dozenin the fond hope that he'll runacross some exciting reference toDr. Maynard. People are always sosuspicions of an old love-affair.

Let me relieve your mind. Asmuch as you may he disappointed.I must announce that I nm not re-!serving any sweet sentimental;morsel for a climatic finale. Farfrom It. I haven't got It In re-serve. I only wish I had. A swelmemory Is hucli a comfortingpossession, a thrilling romance ofthe past such as reinsurance.

But it Is very evident that Dr.Maynurd has no intention of pro-viding me with sweet memories orthrilling romances. All the balmand comfort that his proposal mayhave given me in the beginning hebas destroyed by being hopelesslycommonplace ever since. i

I wish you could read bis let-ters! Impersonal? Why, theymight easily be addressed to amaiden uuut. Never once has hereferred to that starry night, whenhe asked me to go to (iermauywith him; never asked, as any nor-mal man would do. If I bad chang-ed my mind. Not that I have inthe least. I haven't! Only Itseems to me almost Impolite notas much as to Inquire.

Dr. William Ford Mavnard Isbecoming quite well known herein America. There has been sev-eral articles already In the maga-zines about him and the remark-able results (if his scientific re-search. I ought to be flattered toreceive envelopes addressed to mefrom him at all, I suppose. Wewrite about once a inontli.

But as honored as I ought tofeel, 1 suppose, to share the resultnof this man's famous work, thetruth Is 1 don't enjoy his lettersone hit! I am glad I was fore-sighted enough not to marry aucha passionless man. I never wouldhave been satisfied. I see It clear-ly now.

My letters to him are regularworks of art. I'm bound not to lethim pity ins. at any rate, and if he• 'ii write cheerful aud enthusiasticdescriptions so can 1. To Dr. May-nard 1 am simply delighted overour burst of prosperity and socialsplendor. Kdith's improvementson the house, I rave over. I describebridge parlies, teas and dances asif I gloried in them.

Only onco did Dr. Mayuard con-descend to refer to the past, andthat was in a little insignificantpostscript. This is what he wrote,all cramped up In a little bit ofspace, ami lie had signed his name:

"How in Han liamis™ pro-UreN.sliiK In her reconstruction?Ditea she m-id nny outaidein I," in building up her In- m-ilinl city? I'leane let moknow when she doe*!"

1 tell you I wrote him the gay-est, most flippant little note Icould compose —\u25a0 all about howbusy I was with engagements, etc.,etc.; and then after I bad signedmy name, along the margin ofllm impel- I said:

"Alioiii Sun I lhim-i-i•>— shi«is progressing wonderfully,.she doesn't need any helpfrom .nit one, unless |H>ssllilvlead i< rights to keep her fromHoarinK- The eat'tli<|iiuko didIH'|- (("'"l' Hlie'H Ih'I'OIIiIhKvery modernized, uud whenyou see her next I doubt Ifyou i cni/i> her nn accountof all the cliiiugc*."If Dr. Maynard couldn't afford

a fresh sheet of paper, go upstairsand shut hinißelf in his room, Rndask me seriously and quietly, if I jwere unhappy or lonely, I wouldstarve first before I'd ask breadof him.

CHAPTER X.Joy »t I.Mst

Four months later. Twelveo'clock at night. Wrapped up Inmy eiderdown bath robe. Sitting atmy desk.

It Is midnight. I cannot sleep.I have seen Dr. Maynard!It occurred at four o'clock this

afternoon. I was on my way homefrom a shopping tour, and with mybandl full of packages, I turnedup Obailes Street as unconcerned i

as you please.At the corner I bowed to our

miniver's wife, and the remains ofthe smile were still on my face,1 suppose, when I saw Dr. May-nard. I didn't know that he wasnn this side of the ocean, andwhen I observed him coming down(he steps of the poatofflce—viifor-MM and strong and buoyant — I istood still in my tracks, ;>nd theremains of the smile turned Into isomething startled and afraid.

Dr. Maynard approached me ullaglow, stretched out his hand andtook mine In a warm, firm grasp.

"H«lto, Hobble." he said, In hishearty did voice, and I looked backat Mm, perfectly white — I couldfeel that I wad—and speechless."Don't lie a goose. It's Just Dr.Ma>nard," 1 tried to reason withmyself.

"Am I speaking to Miss LucyVarH?" I heard :isked me. "MissLucy Chenery Vars, of 240 MaiuStreet, Hilton. Mass.?"

I nodded, and somewhere downthere in the chaos in my chest, Ifound my poor little voice. "IsIt you?" I asked Hhaklly.

"Well, I'm not <niite sure. Noth-ing looks very natural around hero.I'm beginning to thing I'm some-liiml*' else."

"Well, I am surprised!" I ex-ploded. "I certainly am surprised!Why. I never was so surprised!"I stopppd a minute. Dr. Maynardwas smiling right down into myeyes. "I never was so surprisedin all my life!" 1 repeated, as if Ihndn't another Idea in my mind.

He loaned down just here andpicked up a half-dozen bundles,more or less, that I had droppedwhen we shook hands.

"I better help you carry someof thepp home, hadn"t I?" he sug-gested.

"Oh, yes. do," I replied eagerly,and somehow me managed to walkback to the bouse together.

F don't know through whatstreets we went, past what bouses.I can scarcely recall of what wetalked. "He's cotne home! He'scome home! He's come home!"kept ringing in my ears over andover again, like Jubilant chimes."Dr. Maynard has come home!"

When he first camo In view of240 Main Street and stood stock-still in his tracks, and gasped, Iwanted to throw my arms aroundhim for joy.

It was In the sunken gardenthat the most Important part ofour conversation took place. Youremember, don't you, that in myletters to Dr. Mayuard I had al-ways been enthusiastic over theimprovements Edith has made onold 24 0. So now It was with ap-parent pride that I led my oldfriend down the granolithic stepsinto the one-time apple orchard.

I was all enthusiasm. Kdithwouldn't have recognized me. Kuthwould huve thought I had lost myreason. Even Dr. Maynard lookedat RM curiosly.

"Itcertainly la all very fine, I'veno doubt," he remarked.

"Yes, isn't It?" I exclaimed."Hut 1 must confess," he went

on. "I never objected to the oldapple orchard. Just about where|the pool Is now, there used togrow the best old Baldwins I evertasted."

"Oh, my," I scolded, "you oughtto see the bouncing Oregon applesKdith huys by the crate."

Dr. Maynard shook his head andlimited, Then he camo over andsat down beside mo on the ItalianHeat.

"Well, well," ho sighed, "I sup-pose old Kip must get used to thechanges that have taken placesince he's been asleep — greatsweeping estates with granolithicdrives and sunken gardens; in-fctoad of good old snappy Xew Kng-land Baldwins, apples Importedfrom Oregon; and Instead of a girlIn a red Tam-o-Shanter and herfather's old weather-beaten ulster,sitting behind the wheel of a littleonr-lun^er automobile, running it,In all sorta of weather, like a youngl>iie/.<> - instead of that girl," saidDr. Maynttrd, looking up and downclosely, "a very correct and up-to-date young lady in kid gloves and aveil, a smart black and whitechecked suit, a very fashionablehat (I should call It), with a hunchof primroses, to cap it all, pinnedjauntily at her waist."

I blushed with triumph."I've Just about come to the

conclusion," added Dr. Maynard ina kind of wistful voice, "that Idon't know San Francisco at allnow."

"Well," t laughed waverlngly,"I do hope you'll find It a littlemore civilized that It was before."

"I never thought it uncivilized,"aald Dr. Maynard quietly; "Iratherenjoyed it just as It was, to tell thetruth. I shall be sorry to findmany changes In It because I shallhave to become acquainted with Ha'l over again and my time la soshort."

"Short?" I exclaimed. I don'tknow how I had drawn the suddenconclusion that Dr. Maynard hadcome to stay. Tils very next wordsput an end to my lltfe half-hour ofjubilance like the airoouncement ofa death.

"Yea," he said; "I'm sailingback to Germany In two weeks. Iwas appointed an executor of adistant relative's will, and it seem-ed necessary to come to New Yorkand attend to it. Of course Icouldn't be so near—San Francis-co—without coming to see how Itprospered after the earthquake.I'm glad to find you to happy,Bobbie. You've richly earned allthis," he iglanced around the dis-play that surrounded us, "bothyou and Al, end It's really fin*that the change in your circum-itancts came about, when you,i.mcv, were still a young girl, andjust ready to appreciate and en-joy good times, and pretty sur-roundings, and new young people.Sometimes the apparent catastro-phes work out for our best hap-piness. You are happy, aren'tyou. Bobble?"

"Oh, yes—perfectly happy," Iflashed indignantly.

"I thought so. Your enthusiasmbrims over in your letters. Well,well," twitted Dr. Maynard, "whoever thought Al's little sister.

THE TACQMA TIMES.

whom I lifted to gall 'wild-cat,'would turn Into a society girl—amighty popular one, too, if I'many judKf. Parties and •nKagc-intDtn all the time, I suppose. NowI'm just curious enough to won-der," went on Ur. Maynard teas-lngly. while my feelings, hurtand enraged, were working up toone of their haliitual explosions,

which one of thuHe admirers Ihear mentioned In your letters'sent you your pretty primroses'this iiinriiiim."

"No one sent them," I blurtedout. "If you must know, I boughtthem mygeir five minutes before I»aw you. Those men in my letterswere Ruth's friends, not mine."

Dr. Maynard glanced at mesharply.

"Oh," I went on fiercely, "I'mglad to know if you think that I'mnappy, it shows how well youunderstand me. Happy! I'm per-fectly miserable, If you want toknow th« truth. I hate and loatheand despise all this display yousay I've so richly earned. I hateparties, and splurge, and sunkenP,ardens, and pergolaa, and Ihaven't a single solitary admirer|In the world. I thought you knew,me, but I see you don't. I thought.If you ever came back you'd un-derstand, but you don't—not onelittle single bit. I thought you—you--"

I stopped abruptly. There's nouse trying to hide tears that rumshamelessly down your cheeks. Itwas absolutely necessary for raeito ask for my bag which Dr. May-]nard held, and produced a hand-!kerchief. He didn't say anythingas I mopped my eyes. I thoughtperhaps he was too shocked tospeak. Me didn't offer me a singleword of comfort —- just sat andwaited.

I didn't look at him and stillwith my face turned away X said,subdued apologetically, "I don'tnee what Is the matter with melately. You mustn't mind my he-ing so silly. I'm always getting'weepy' for no reason at all."

I opened my bag, tuoked awaymy handkerchief, as a sign thatthe storm was over, and stood up."I hope you won't think that Iusually act this way with—withall those admirers of mine," Iadded, smiling.

Dr. .Maynard ignored my at-tempt nt humor.

"Lucy," he said (piietly, but ina voice and manner that made mestart and catch my breath, "myreal reason for coming to Americawasn't the. will. It was you." Hestopped and I looked hard into thecenter of the dry pool. "I mis-trusted some of your letters lately,though I confess not at first.You've been overdoing your en-thusiasm this winter, Bobbie. SoI decided to come over and findout for myself If you had beentrying to deceive me. The willoffered a good excuse, so here Iam. And you have been deceivingme—for two whole years. WhyBobbie," he said very softly,"what shall I do to you?"

I glanced up and saw the oldpiercing tenderness in hln eyes.

"Don't be kind to me," 1 warn-ed hastily; "not now — not foranything. Please, or I shall cryagain."

I heard Dr. Maynard laugh thetenderest, gent lest kind of laugh,and In a second both his armswere around me. Vps, both Dr.Maynord'H arms were close aroundme! I didn't cry. I Just stayedthere quiet and still and safe; andI've been there in imaginationabout every moment since.

* • •Dawn is breaking. Still I can-

not sleep.I have just opened the little

secret drawer In my desk andtaken out that old picture ofRobert Dwinnell. I gazed at myold Ideal for a .solid sixty seconds,then deliberately, through thevery smile that had once thrilledme, I tore th.it poor picture intoa thousand bits, and dumped theremains into the waste basket.

For, oh, Robert Dwinnell, younever, on any st.-ise, made love aswonderfully and tenderly as Dr.Mayuard; and as for me, I, too,know love, the sort I've dreamedabout all my life, at last.
