BY GEORGE ELMER COBB. *Don’t trifle with me, Vera—I am | desperately In earnest!” pleaded | young Doctor Irwin. ' “I'm not, Rolfe,” asserted the bright- | eyed, vivacious girl who leaned upon | the garden gate that separated them. “I think too much of you to tell you a falsehood, and I am too young—oh, far too young, mamma says—to think of 1 telling you the truth,” and the flashing !ayu looked clear and loyal, if they were mischievous. The wholesome looking young fel- i low who had just asked her to become his wife, looked puzzled, then hopeful, and then he had a smile. “1 know yolPare the dearest, sweet- est little midget of cheerfulness in the world,” he declared enthusiastically, “and I am sure a good friend of mine.” “Never doubt that, Rolfe,” said Vera, “But when you come to talk about be- coming engaged—why, think of a romping cut-up, as everybody calls me, trying to pose as the dignified wife of Dr. Rolte Irwin, It would shock everybody. Besides, dear,” and her voice was as tender as was it honest, ] “with your career just commenced, I would be & drag on you. Not that I wouldn't share a crust of bard bread with the man I loved, but I am very proud of you, and I don’t want to hin- der you from making your mark in the world.” Doctor Irwin bestowed a fond look upon the little ehild-woman who was the dearest being in the universe to him. He bade her good-by, not at all | gloomily, and started for his office. | Vera stood following him with her | eyes, a demure and thoughttul look on ; her usually smiling face.

Vera to!d her mother she was going down 1o see Mr. Dawson. She was soon at { his home. “| huve come to ask a great favor,” she told bim. “You know there is go- ing to be a mask party at the library hall next week. It is for the benefit of the old folks’ home—want you to buy a ticket.” “Two of them, if you like,” readily announced Mr. Dawson to his favorite, “And I want you to go.” “No, no, child,” resented Mr. Daw- son gravely. “I am past the folly of dancing.” : And then the little witch began her powers of beguiling. At the end of half an hour, even down to the mask he was to wear, Vera had prevailed in her coaxings. Mrs, Dawson was not so easy to per- suade. Wily Vera told of the good cause she was helping along. Finally she carried her point. “Well, I'll come, dear,” promised Sarah Dawson, “but it's just to please you.” The bright little schemer had woven quite & plot about the estranged and rosuspecting husband and wife. She took great pains to conceal from each the expected appearance of both at the function. Vera enlisted the co-op- eration of & number of her girl triends. Everything turned out as they planned. Mr. Dawson, arrayed in his best, and his wife, wearing a tasteful silk gown, a reminder of happier days came, saw and were soon carried out to them- selves amid the enjoymeat of the oo casion. Shrewd and watchful Vera had kept cloge track of them. They had danced together twice without recognition, when the bell called for unmasking. Vera arranged it so that just after a dance, they and herscIf alone were the sole occupants of one of the small | rooms leading off from the dance flnor. “U'nmask!™ she cried gaily, h«-r fenzor eyes dancing with suspense .md "dilizht, and the dumfounded luhbmd and ;\itu confronted one another, Lmh njoyved the unusaal occasi ra knew it. “Quick!” she demd md- | ed, with a roguish laugh—"who upukoi tirst?" “l did,” declared Egbert. “Sarah, | you're as sweet and handsome as ever. !
