J.W.EI JLIS' REAL ESTATE AGENT City and Country Property; Im- | proved and Usmimproved Orange Groves a Specialty: WE HAVE SOME OF THE FINEST TRUCK LAND IN FLORIDA Room 1, Raymondo Bullding. and Blue By Marian L. Walson (Coprright, 9is, by Associsted Literary Press) “It's & wicked shame—now you can't go to prayer meeting!” Loulse exploded, tossing the -pink gown spitefully onto the bed. Mrs. Gleves laughed softly. “Why, it'’s all in the day’s work, child,” she said. “I did think I'd like to hear Dady Cane pray one more time. He's such a saint, and so old, each prayer may be the last—but Milly didn’t know—and her heart is so set on wearing pink tomorrow night—" “When she has twenty other frocks to wear,” Louise interrupted rebel- llously. “In fact she has everything in the world a girl can want. I have -nothing.” “Sure?” Mrs. Gleves asked, with a keen glance at her helper. louise was so pretty it was joy to contemplate her, even without the contrast of poor, dumpy, kindly Milly Dunham. Milly, indeed, had everything but beauty and charm— the beauty and charm that were Louise's birthright. She liked the little sewing girl, and tried hard to be kind to her, but Louise made it dificult—she was so proud, so re sentful of patronage, and, since truth must be spoken, so envious. “l wonder what it is like—to be fine from top to toe—and feel it doesn't matter if you ruin every- thing,” she sald at last, looking up from the machine. Bhe sat sewing ruffies upon a silk foundation—a sort of fairy under- robe for the fllmy pink gown. Milly, the gown's owner, had suddenly de- cided it needed a finer slip. The ruffiles were scant—bardly more than a veiling for the shimmery silk. Loulse admitted to herself spitefully they would add something to the lacy pink chiffon. The slip had to be made at once—Milly was coming in the morning to try it on and have the frocks adjusted to the lines of it. “And she'll look like a frump—for all you fit so beautifully,” Loulse sald spitefully as she laid down the slip. All the rest was hand-work—Mrs. Cleves would trust that to nobody but herself. Otherwise, Louise, in a mo- ment of exaltation, would have volun- teered to do the hand-work, and so give time from prayer meeting. She was a generous creature, if she did have a temper. Though she bad reg- ular bours, she never complained of working beyond them. Indeed, Mre. Gleves had sometimes to make her put up her thimble and go out for a bit of alr. “It is & pity. Milly would be right nice looking if she didn't always dress 20 fine," 'Mrs. Gleves admitted. “But the poor thing doesn’t know that. Besides, her mother lives for clothes. KEvery crow, you know, thinks its own white. 8o I reckon Milly looks pretty and stylish to Mrs. Dunham. The judge ls a fond father, but I can see plain he is mightly dis- appointed not to have his only child a beauty.” “He ought to adopt me,” sald recklessly. Mrs. Gleves pursed her lips, but murmured indulgently: “Vain thing!" and went on sewing. She was sympathetic enough—had not she herself been poor and pretty, and thereby denied her rightful chance? But she was not going to encourage wild notions in Loulse— an orphan with no nearer counsellor, than the good dressmaker. “Think of a masked party! How I'd love to see it!" Louise muttered after a bit, looking out at the fading light. It was just sunset. Mrs. Gleves also looked out. “Do you mind running over to the Canby's for some new-laid eggs?" she asked. "I can telephone if you do—but there may be nobody to fetch them.” “I'll fetch them—gladly,” sald, darting away. She did not stop to change her blue chambray working frock, nor to snatch a hat. In the briefest space she was at the Canby house; a little later she ran down through the side gate with a bag of eggs clutched in both hands. Dusk was falling; more- over she was dreaming when she should bave been looking. Between all, she ran plump into a passer-by, a tall young fellow, immaculate In white flannels, with a gayly banded straw hat held at his side. He was striding forward at a great rate, and what, with his own impetus and Loulse's quick motion. the eggs had no chance. They squashed—the bag broke—white and yolk overflowed him. To save lLoulse from falling he bad caught her close, and her blue gown was nearly as much a sight as his white attire. Notwithstanding, both of them laughed long and heartily. “1 never dreamed an egg had such possibilities —or that there could be so maay in the world,” the stranger said, cbeck- ing himeelf after a little. Louise answered with a sidelong “Betwesa us, we owe Mrs. Loulse Loulse | shout of horror. private ones,” Louise said Young Gray caught her arm. *1 beg your pardon—I meas no impertt- nence—bdut would you like tharot Yot to be “Of course not. I'm nineteen, and love dancing better than my soul. And I'm not bad looking—besides I really have got a frock to wear. But I shall never wear it—because I won't bave a chance—" Louise begun, her voice tensely bitter. J Kenneth Gray took both her bands. “You shall have the chance,” be sald. “I will gee to it. Be ready at 9 o'clock. I'l make it my busi- ness to find out where you are—and whom 1 shall ask for.” “You don't mean a word of that— but I'm game for anything,” Louise cried, breaking from his grasp. “I'm Louise Ware, and I live with Mrs. Cleves.” This aloud—to herself she added: “You deserve something— you are the fellow Milly Dunham {s 80 deeply in love with. You may marry—her money—but for this one night you shall know the difference.” At eleven nmext night she stood breathing quickly, and leaning upon Gray's arm rather heavily, what time, through her mask, she surveyed the vivid scene. They bad just fin- ished a rapid two-step—she danced like thistledown, her soul all in her tripping feet, her shining eyes. There would be an hour more of it—she meant not to miss a number. Un- masking came with the stroke of twelve—she would steal away just be- fore it-—Kenneth should not affront with her, openly, his world. He bad been the prince of gallants, dancing with her much more than half the time, and providing partners so she had never been still. Once he had hurdled through a waltz with heavy- footed Milly. Milly had on the pink frock, but Louise no longer envied her. Her own white crape, fashioned from an ancestral shawl, and rich with heavy embroidery, held its own with the finest. She had been masked when he came for her—she would go away, letting him have no more than a| glimpse of her face as she sald good- by at the cab door. She meant he should leave her there, and go back to finish the evening's pleasure. “You are giving me something to remember always” she sald to bim in the little lull of the music between dances. “I am giving you my whole beart,” Kenneth whispered. The musio struck up—they whirled joyfully away to it. But before they had made the floor's round there came 8 wild cry of fire! The baliroom was on the third floor, and the stairs it, though broad, were neither straight nor fireproof. Chaos followed the cry. Kenneth caught Louise tight in his arms and ran to the west window. The stairs were already choked. Still holding her, he clambered out on a narrow ledgy stone coping, shutting the sash behind him. There was a chance of rescue, also a chanec of salvation. A big oak stood a little way off, the branches of it almost touching the ledge. Kenneth measured the distance; could he leap it safely, carrying his precious burden? As he hesitated the window was raised—Milly Dun ham thrust through it, crying dryly: “Kenneth! Save me! 1 love you! Love you so!" | It was l.onise who drew her out to them on the ledge that had barely | room for two 1 “Jump!” she cried nodding toward the tree. As he obeyed, she steadied herself, drew Milly past her fattened crying in a half whisper: “Catch.” At the same time she swung the girl | within reach of his arms. Milly was half fainting— Kenneth could not let go of her. Yet he called “Come'" and Louise launched herselt toward him. He braced himself, and tried to catch her with his free arm, but missed her fluttering hands by an inch-—and shut his eyes, his heart stopping as he heard her brush through the oaken twigs.
