Lucy turned and looked at him with 8 pathetic seriousness in ber eyes, “Until this morning, Harry,” she sald, “I wanted to be a city girl. 1 thought the little town where I have lived was a pitiful place.” “But it had you in it,” Harry re minded her, gently. “l am beginning to understand,” Lucy sald, “that here appearances are everything—but there isn't any everything. In the country, there 18 everything—and that takes the deceit from the appearances.” “\Why, you're & genuine little philos- opher,” Harry sald. “We have the blue sky in the day- time back there,” Lucy continued, “and here thee have clouds and smoke. There we have the stars at night, here thee have electric signs. There we get up at sunrise and the little birds sing us a welcome from the trees, but here—" “Here the folks stay up until sun- rise and eat the little birds before that,” Harry finished for her. “You don’t want a city home, then, Lucy?” “] want & home where the heart does not have to be hidden,” she told bim. “And so do I.

You ought to be,” Harry told her. “And he's worried about you—and I'm worried about both of you. Shut the window, and let me think.” She closed her window, and he re- sumed his meditations. “Sometimes,” he muttered, “it's against a fellow to be innocent. 1 could have straightened this out in two minutes if I had been guilty.” The front door opened, and Lucy appeared. She glanced down at Harry and smiled. “May I come out with thee awhile?” she asked. “It is 8o peaceful out here —everything seemeth so calm.” “This s the headquarters for peace and calm,” Harry observed, pleasant- ly, rising. Lucy came down the steps and eat on the lawn seat while Harry leaned over the table beside her, look- ing down at her. “Well,” Lucy asked, - | say?” “l can't say anything yet,” he ane swered. “I can only ask you to trust me until I can explain everything.” “But surely thee can explain everys thing now.” “No. Not yet. it myself yet.” Lucy's face changed, and Harry went on: “Later, I'll tell you everything. 1 can't now, Lucy, because some one else is involved.” “I saw her,” Lucy sald, coldly. “] don't mean that way, Lucy,” he protested. “What you saw may bhave a peculiar look—" “Indeed, she had!” Lucy asserted. “But you must remember that oftea there is an unsuspected skeleton in the closet,” Harry continued, manful ly.
