Humphrey Dodd was a plain man. He had been the eldest son and had assumed heavy responsibilities when bis father died. Now that the young er children were wage earners, and his mother had married again, Hum phrey was free for the first time in his life. He intended to get married! IHis choice lay between two village beau | ties. As yet he had not paid marked attention to either of them, but as i be rammed his hat down on his head one gusty September night and start ed for a walk, he knew that he must make his decision. He did not ask himseli whether b | loved Rose or Mary. They were gocd girls, and would make good wives. His mother had married his father in her yYoung vears of romance, and the mur rlage had turned out badly. She had impressed it on Humphrey that love Was an unstable thinz, and that he would be happier without ft. Yet something stirred in Humphrey as he left the village street and came out upon a long stretch of road, which showed white for a little way and was then hidden by the blackness of the grove beyond. Overhead the moon raced through the ragged clouds. Humphrey Lrought his mind back sternly to the subject in hand. Which should it be, Rose or Mary? The falr one or the dark, the short one or the tall? The wind blew strongly, and as Humphrey entered the shadows of the wood a thousand voices seemed to mock him, but above all the tumult came a human note, a little ery, “Oh, please—help!" Humphrey stopped he asked sharply A white shape seemed to detach itself from the sable background. “1 “Who s it?” =1 have—-lost my way " quivered a woman's voice, “und and 1 am afraid.” Humphrey struek o mateh, A face appeared within the elrele of light a child's face, except for the maturity of the troubled brow Humphrey steack “You are wet.” “Were yvou in the noon " “Yos ™ The mateh had and they were azain in darkness. “Yer" 1 walkedq from the car.

What a child she was—with a wom- an's eyes. “They can't hurt you,” he sald, good mnaturedly. “I'll be back in a minute When he returned to the girl he found her earled up against a fallen lo. “I've brought a robe,” he sald. “Wrap yourself in it."” When «he was safe in the seat he began to think where he should take her. There was no hotel and the squalid - Loarding house where the grape-hands boarded was no place for this little slender thing. 1is own home was presideq over by his mar rled sister a prim young woman who “I'll go back and wonld look askance at the city tray.

But now 2! the grace and charm of her delicate frame were revealed. “I've got some cold baked |« ins, said Aunt Betsoy, bustling, “and I'll warm them up, and you «ha'| Live a cup of tea.” Humphrey blushed as she of baked beans.

Her father was an artist and died & year ago. Her mother dled when Daphne was two years old. ¢ ue ) LI NN Since the father's death, Daphne has been trying to work in & department store. But the confinement brought on an fllness, and now she has strug- | gled out toward the country to see i what the air will do for her! And she aln’t fit to work,” finished Aunt Bet- } feY. “no mor'n a kitten.” | “Can’t you keep her here?” Hum- { Phrey asked eagerly, “to help you?" [ “Gracious—1 don't meed any help,” | said Aunt Betsey. “lI ain't as feeble [ s that. But I'd like to have her make | me a visit."” Humphrey felt that Aunt Betsey was | an angel. “If you will." he promised, “I'll see that you have plenty of things from my farm to make it up to you.” That afternoon he came again. Daphine was on the porch. Humphrey beld her hand for a long time, but her ‘es met his without self-conscions- *8. “I'm rested now.” she sald, nd 1 want you to take me over to the grape farm.” Humphrey looked at Aunt Detsey. \unt Betsey shook her head. “She wants to go to work. HAVS visit She it she ecan't she feels | Wouldn’t be right.” “You aren't strong enough to work over there,” Humphrey sald; “you'd break down.” Her lips quivered. “But—oh, 1 can't live on—charity,” she sobbed. “You see?" said Aunt Betsey. Humphrey felt raging within him a strange sense of determination. Never in his lifo had he done any- thing fmpulsively. He had welghed the charms of Rose and Mary for months, vet here he was ready to reveal the secrets of his heart to a £irl he had known less than twenty- four hours, “l want you to stay,” he said tense- | Iy. “when I saw vou In the woods last night—it seemed as if—I had bheen | fent—to take care of you—and you | must let Aunt Retsey do it—for my sake."” In her cyes dawned a wonder. “You want--to take care of me?”’ “I want to marry you.” sald Hum- phrey, bluntly; i're the only wom- an 1 have ever really wanted to mar- ry. But it's too soon to tell you this because you haven't had time to learn to care and maybe you couldn't, anyhow--1'm :o sort of rough-—and different. 1 wich vou'd try. And may- be if you don't lewrn to eare, you'll be stronger by the tinie you've found out, and then Annt Petsey and T will get yYou some work somewhere—nbut 1 hope You won't ever have to work—I hope vou'll let me do it It was a long cech, uttercd with many breaks. Daphne stood very still, “Oh," she Whispered, “how pood you are would it make you very happy it 1 should ?” { To Humphrey it seemed that her | words brought a vision of a new heaven and a new earth, “I ean't tell yon,” he sald, brokenly, "hn\\'.hux»- py I should be.” She lald both of her little hands in his. “I'll stay,” she sald, simply, “with Aunt Retsey -and she must let me help her—and--and do you know what my heart sald to me last night when the match first showed me your face? It said, here Is a man that a woman might trust—that a woman might trust forever.” IS WOMAN THE WEAKER SEX Demonstrations Have Given Abundant Proof That Her Tenacity of Life Is Greater Than Man's, From the earliest recorded time, says the Washington Herald, women have lbeen gpoken of as the weaker sex.
