How John Deverley managed to cap ture the dashing and beautiful Mar- garet Fcliot nobody ever knew. ot course the Beverleys were in our set, but only by virtue of their birth, They were one of our oldest families and we felt proud of them in a measure, but they hadn't any money and couldn't cut anything of a dash to speak of. John left school about the same time I did and went into a banking of- fice. He used to toil there for eight hours a day, when he might have been playing tennis at the country club, or hunting, or amusing himselt traveling, And yet that slow coach won Margaret Fioliot and they went to Furcpe for a two months' honey- nioon. 1 You can imaging that we fellows looked forward with some interest ta| Margaret's return, They came back and rented a s ut Forest | CGlade, and it w ent that | marriage hadn't h hH uet m :<'\.1 She was just as lively as ever, and hings brightened up considerably when John wasi't arcund. Jolm was the most effective wet blanket that any one ever saw, Bob Flinders had been Margaret's best friend before the marriage, and we were all anxious to know whether he would go to her house or not. 1 bappened to be there when Bob called for the first time, and it was evident from the way John shook hands with him that he hadn't the remotest idea that people used to wag their heads when Rob and Margaret were spolen of. ILverybody had imagined that they were cut out for each other when John Beverley sailed in and did the only dasling act of his career. After the return Bob seemed quite reconciled to his fate. He was the most persistent caller at John's house —usually at times when John wasn't Bob Was a Sight. around. The heads began to wag again as before the marriage and some people wanted to give John @ tip that Margaret and Bob were get: ting too friendly. It wasn't that they had any sympathy with John, for we all felt that he had done a dirty trick ia cutting poor Boo out; but we want: ed to see how John would take it. “John will take it as he takes everything,” said Jim Allen. “He'll say, ‘Oh, really!' and dismiss the sub Ject. Can you imnacine John playing & man’'s part in anything?” Nobody could. John had never been known to say anything stronger than “I'm sorry,” and John's drink, on the rare occasions when he put in an appearance at the club, was barley water, We soon found out that Margaret was dissatisfied with John. She was ashamed of him. She used to think that his slow ways concealed some thing delightfully unexpected, and captivated her, But once, when they were in Paris, a | Frenchman had rcraped acquaintance with her and said something insult. ing, and John, instead of thrashing him, had insisted that it was a mis take, because the man said it was. Margaret knew that John was a cow- | ard, and since that time she had lost all respect for him. Another thing “he had against him was that he didnt' seem to mind her 2dmirers. Some saild he had too much faith in his wife, but most of us gueesed ft was just cowardice on Jotn's part. It was a few weeks after their re- turn that some of the boys fixed up a joke on John. It geemed that Mar- garet had written Pob oue or two let ters in the old days, and she had wanted them back. Bob didn’t want to give them back, because they ap- pealed to his vauity, and they gave him a sort of hand over Margaret. He didn't stow us the letters, but he did tell us thn bargain he made with Mar- garet. He nromised to give them back | if she would gzive him a kiss, said kiss to be delivered on the first cou- venient occasion. Of course, Pob didn't really mean | that, because he was a good enough | sort of fellow, but still, he wouldn't have heen averse from taking oue if he had had the opportunity. He told us that Margaret had laughinely ac- repted his proposition, and that the rancaction was arranged to take place in tue little garden at the back e b L b d ' ELAND, FLA., NOV. 15, 1913, of the Country club, where nobody ever goes.

He had the letters in his hand and he gove them 1o her. “You see, I trust you, Margaret,” he said, and he thrust his head up so that he could wink at us. Margaret Was much too agitated to see what he was doing. She kept looking right and left, as though she were afraid, ' SUNPUP OO POUFOM PO IPRC P L <ihe Professions- CULRVOOO 0O G GOOQCOOOOGT OO0 OOOCOLCOD SAMUEL F. SMITH, M.

And after that Bob didn"t seem to have a show. John blacked his right eye and then his left, he‘ tapped his nose again, split his lips open, and then he began to adminis ter the most awful scientific pummel ing that I ever heard of. And every time Bob went down John jerked hiia to his feet again and administered some more, | Bob was a sight when John got through with him. He was coated with blood and filth, and he was yell ing “murder!” so loud that all the waiters had come up and stood round watching the game, John picked Bob up for the time, “Here’'s what you came for” he said, in the same even tone that he hud always used, save for the rasp. And he took Bob by the throat and— kisced him! Then he knocked him down agaln for good measure, and then he put on Pis coat. There wasn’t a mark on him. He gave his arm to Margaret, and as they walked off together I no- ticed that she geemed to cling to him in a sort of manner that I hadn't seen her do before, As | sald, you never know what a woman will do. She had laid that trap for poor old Bob, and I bet she was the most surprised woman in the world to see the pummeclling John gave him. No, Margaret has cut our set now and goes in for the highbrows. She's real fond of John; it seems a shame that such a charming woman should be linked up with a slowcoach like that. As for Bob, he's gone west.
