She would go later. | They heard the girl go downstairs. | and after a short absence return. | “Too bad, too bad,” he said, shak ing his head, “with her bright girlish ways—happy ways—to have to learn that loce lsn't everything.” Then, noting the smile on his wite's face: “Until 1t gets wisdom.” Just before the noon hour, the door opened and she looked in. Her face was small and oval, her hair a bright | gold, her eyes usually happy. But this time she was not smiling, and Buemer could see that she was mak- Ing an earnest effort to cover what was in her mind and heart. “Mr. Buemer,” she sald hurriedly “when—when-—Mr. Lawton returns- if he should ask where I am-—just tell him -1 have gone." With that she closed the door, leav- | ing Buemer staring in astonishment at his wife, who was staring back. “She's gone!” he exchimed. “Now, what'll happen?” His wife sat down abruptly. "I didn't suppose--But there was a man waiting in the hall -an’ he went with | her Joseph!"” Trouble was afoot; of that there was no doubt; and Buemer dreaded the part he must play. A little after the whistles had blown, they heard quick steps come up the stairs and go iato the oppo- site flat. There was a sound of a| hurried call, then silence, then a| knock on their door, and in the young | sho s 1 wonder | | fellow came.

Instinctively Buemer recognized that the man was one of his own kind, and he went on to tell the story. As he did so, the smile faded from his broad face, leaving it sober. “I see, I see, Mr. Buemer, an' I'm sorry. 1 kinda thought that some- thin’ might come up. Lawton is too hot-headed, though a dandy fellow at heart. But she fsn't here. Now, where can she be? It doesn’t seem— vet if she was stirred up she might We'll look him up.
