I only hope the neigh- bors on the next street don’t hear me calling him. Why, actually, I'm almost afraid at times to go up to his room to pull him out of bed, for fear I'll find he's given up the ghost completely. I can’'t see some morn- ings how any person could fail to notice the noise I make unless he was dead.” “We ought to have it like a woman who lived in my home town,” said Mrs. Bottin, reminiscently. “That mother certainly was one lucky woman! Her name was Siler. “The Silers lived in a little four~ room cottage—all on one floor, with the attic extending over the whole— and there was a mighty big family of 'em, too. There didn’t seem to be room for all the young ones down- stairs, 80 they lald boards on the raft- | being willing to dispense with even ers, or jolsts, or whatever you call [ the ordinary “Mr.” ‘em, and made beds for two or three of the boys up in the attic. “Their oldest boy, Peter, slept up | ed on an August day that when John there, and he was a sleepy head if | Paul ran his new 20 horsepower car ever there was one. “You went up into that attlc by & | vale depot, Miss Editha Loring-Jones, ladder in a closet in the middle room, | dainty in all the feminine “fixings,” and in the summer Peter always kept | came with outstretched hand to bid his cot closest to that ladder. But when winter came along he moved right over the kitchen. He didn’t mind the racket of getting breakfast for such a mob of youngsters; he “Climbed Up on a Chair” could have slept serenely through a fire, a flood and an earthquake all in one. His mother used to have her hands full—she couldn't climb that ladder to yank him out of bed as easily as you do your Joseph. “One winter morning Peter hopped out of bed, late, as usual, and put his foot down between two boards that had slipped apart, so he punched & hole through the kitchen ceiling. His mother asked him and asked him to fix the hole, which spoiled the ceiling, but neither Peter nor his father ever seemed to find the time. “One morning Mrs. Siler had an idea; it occurred to her after a full rdare hope you will."” ' mand in his voice, and Editha appear- hour of trying to get Peter to get ome of bed and come down and eat his | BOng beside the door of the depot res- | breakfast so that he might not be late again In going to work. “After everybody was gone that morning Peter's mother went in and managed somehow to climb the lad- der into the attic. There she moved Peter's cot directly over the hole he had made. “Next morning she called the young man once, then again, and then the third time. Peter didn't make the slightest sound. Then his mother went and got the broom, climbed up on a chair and began to poke with the broom handle at the bottom of Peter's bed. It was only a cot bed, you re- member, and so it was too thin to protect him from that sort of attack. At about the fourth or fifth poke Peter yelled like a Comanche Indian and leaped out of bed. In three min- utes he was downstalrs, too. “From that time on it was never very much of a job to get Peter up in the morning. A few pokes would do it nicely. Peter did move the cot away from the hole, but his mother went up into the attic and nailed the legs of the cot down, so it had to stay over the hole. “Then Peter tried to take the beds that belonged to the other boys, but they combined against him and stop- ped that. Then he wanted to fix the hole, but his mother told him that the only way she'd have it fixed would be to have it framed so that the ragged edges wouldn't show quite so bad. “Peter didn't care particularly for that sort of treatment, but he saw it would be no use to argue with Mrs. Siler, she was so determined. He took to getting up bright and early every morning, rain or shine, and when he got to being first at the store his boss liked it so well he ralsed Peter's wages.” “Hum!” said Mrs. Flunkitt, envious- ly. “I wish there would come an earthquake or something and make a hole under my Joey's bed.” .

So it was that Miss Editha Loring-Jones, daughter of a baronet of Engfand, bhad guessed, though snow-bound by a hyper-conven- tial chaperone, the love that plain John Paul—proudly an American— bore her. It was true that Mrs. Orangeia Whelpley, the chaperone, relict of the late Maj. Whelpley, who had obtained his final discharge at Calcutta from the hand of the world’s greatest com- mercial general, had been strictly charged by Miss Editha's father to see that no upstart Yankee had aught to do with the young lady's affections. Young people are meant for young people’s company, and so Editha's heart went out to plain John Paul. Plain? Well, he had won a degree at college, and, as the leading law- yer of the little western town of Open- vale, had been sent to the state sen- ate, so that many of his letters were properly addressed to “Hon. John Paul.” But he cared little for titles, As even the strictest chaperone can’t make one a prisoner, it happen- to the edge of the platform of Open- him farewell. “It's going to seem mighty ’onesome out here after you're gone,” he an- nounced, mournfully, when the first greeting was over. ‘At least, we can say good-bye with- out that hoirid Mrs. Whelpley strain- ing her ears to catch our last words, as if one could talk of nothing but love, love, love!” “Why. where is Mrs, Whelpley?” She’s got aboard the train. She's horribly afraid of being left, so she's taken the tickets for both of us and secured our seats. 1've no doubt she's in fidgets, but she won't care to leave, although the train stops here ten min- utes.” “Let's sit in the auto while we make our adieux,” John suggested. Editha complied. “Our time is short,” he said, glacing at his watch. “But {f I speak hastily, I have time to tell you something you may care to hear, though I hardly “If T should miss that train—" she interrupted, nervously. “Hang the train!" exclalmed the | voung lawyer, savagely. “Listen to me!” There was a new note of com- ed resigned. Like most girls, she fa- vored masterly men. “In a few minutes, Editha, the | train may—" *“May?" she wondered | —*“be whirling you eastward.

He glanced at the frantic face of | Mrs. Whelpley peering from the car window. Editha could not see it. She did not appear anxious to look in that direction. The conductor struck the starting ! taurant. “All aboard!” he cried. “You were about to say?” asked, eagerly. “That 1 want you to miss train!” “Why, what would I do?

What I meant was that I've no way of pro- viding for myself, if I miss the train,” she explained, with a roguish smile. “Yes, you have,” he insisted, stub- bornly. “And that?" “Is to marry me!"” | Editha jumped from the auto with a low cry of alarm. The train was al- ready in motion, and she had an excel- lent view of Mrs. Whelpley, the very pteture of a disappointed chaperone, looking from the rear end of the last car. Editha had missed the train, but John Paul was at her side. Turning toward him, she said: “Well, I did my best!” And the two rode off in the auto to solve the problem in the most de- sirable way.
