When young Sweeney had to go away he realized that it would be all of two weeks before he could return. That desolate period loomed before him like an eternity, “Say, Laura,” have an idea! When boat comes down the bay past the inn you be out on the end of the pler and wave a lantern at me and I'll be up on deck and whistle to you!” “How perfectly lovely!"” cried Miss Wankle, temporarily drying her tears. “That’ll be saying good-by all over again! You are a genius, Jimmy! It's easier to let you go, now that | can do that!"” The inn launch bore away the dole- ful Sweeney, together with a dozen or more fathers and brothers bound for the Chicago hoat. Then present- ly Laura Wankle strolled disconso- lately down upon the pier. She found her sister there with a young man whose father's industry had made it unnecessary for him to go back to town to work with the rest of the men. The two frowned at her. Laura seated herself, undaunted. “l am going to wave at Jimmy,” she explained. “He wants me to, I'm 50 sleepy I don't see how I can keep my eyes open another instant, but 1 wouldn't disappoint him for worlds when he expects it!" “Oh,” sald the blond twin, more cheerfully, “the Chicago boat {8 due to come by in 20 minutes.” “Yes, we'll spare you 20 minutes,” saild the young man. “That isn't so bad.” Something surely had happened to delay the Chicago boat. There was no sign of it down the bay, The blond twin had coughed at her pen- sive sister twice distinctly and the young man seemed politely irritated at the continued interruption of his special conversation. “You'll fall into the water if you go to sleep sitting up that way,” commented the blond twin, severely. I should think you'd go to bed!" “We'll wave your lantern for you!" suggested the young man, hopefully. The dark twin made a scornful sound. “Yes, you would!” she breathed. “And poor Jimmy sitting up to keep his promise to me and be- ing disappointed! The idea!” Yet as time went on she really grew terribly sleepy. Besides, she had a kind heart and hated to spoil her sister's evening. The boat did | not come. “I'd feel just scandalous,” she murmured, “not to wave that lantern | at Jimmy it the poor dear boy s sit- ting up all this time so as not to dis- | appoint me! But it may be hours! Evelyn Wankle, if you'll promise nev- er to tell on me I'm going to hire the porter’s little boy to sit here and swing the lantern at the boat! You two'd forget!” “Anyhow,"” the dark twin told her selt, as she hastened to her room, leaving the porter’s son and Dbelr dangling his feet aver the pler edge, “it really doesn't make an difference, because I'll be there in spirit and Jimmy'll think it's [ and so will be Just as bappy!
