Out of it pro- ceeded now and then the strident honking of a motor horn. Then it reached the end of the driveway, swung in between the stone gate- posts, and, the dust thinning out somewhat, Bar- bara Westcott saw the low, raking lines of a familiar roadcar. Bob Wescott, her younger brother, his chair tilted back and his feet cocked up on the veranda’s stone rail- ing, looked up from the book he was reading. “Well, well, here we are again!” he observed, his keen eyes on the ap- proaching car. “Getting pretty fre- quent, isn't it, Bab? I never thought he was your sort, though.” “He isn’t,” sald the girl, with a sudden tightening of her lips. “Too blamedxdignified and all that sort of thing,” Boll went on. “Imag- ine ever calling him ‘Herm, Bab!” “Little danger of that,” sald she tartly. Bartlett's attentions of late had been assuming a gravity and a frequency that could have but one meaning. Bar bara wrinkled those pretty brows of hers harder as the motor swung up to the veranda steps. “Not intruding, Miss Barbara, I trust?” he said. “Oh, no. I'm glad you came.” She held out her hand. Bartlett was deference itself. “Then you haven't any engagement for the afternoon?” he inquired. “None whatever,” sald she. “It’'s such a perfect day,” sald he, | “I thought perhaps you'd like to take a little turn in the car—say out Red- field way. We could have a cup of tea at the Peach Tree inn.” Barbara made a little grimace. I “I'm awfully tired of the Peach Tree ,and all the other places like it. i They're so fearfully, fearfully proper.” | Bartlett looked a little surprised at the outburst, but he said nothing. | “I'll tell you what I wish you would . do,” she rattled on. “Take me down | to Oak Grove park, will you? I dare you to do it!"” i Bartlett debated mentally. | “In the car?” he asked. ‘ “Car? sald she. “Of course not. On the trolley. We'll eat peanuts all | the way down.” She could hardly keep from chuck- ling; Bartlett seemed so distressed. “We couldn’t get back until nine or 80,” he demurred. “Who cares? If you're afraid, never mind. T'll go alone. Only, my heart is set on going to Oak Grove park this afternoon.” “Of course I'll go,” he interrupted. ¥ “What time can we get a car?” “Quarter past the hour in the square. I'll be ready in a minute” Oak Grove park {s a noisy, garish [ ] | place.

LeVAY venders and fakers, and more or less hard-working pleasure-seekers. Barbara glanced at her escort out of the corner of her eye. He remind- ed her of some stately cavalier going to a dog fight. Bartlett followed meekly wherever she led him. He bought the tickets and was just as stately upside down on the loops as he was anywhere else. Barbara, watching him, saw he was trying, in his own stiff way, to enter into the spirit of the occasion. What it must cost him she could well imag- ine. And when he suggested, as they finished the last of the amusements, that they do them all over again, she relented. “No, take me home, now,” she said, rather shortly. They alighted at the square. He elbowed a way for her through the crowd and they turned into the quiet road that led up to her father's big estate, The girl was very quiet. She did the road and quite alone. “I'm a little cat,” she burst out self- accusingly. “Huh?” said Bartlett, stopping short in his tracks. “You're nothing of the sort. You're a jolly, whole-souled, democratic little girl that ean do as the Romans do when you happen to be with the Romans.” “Don’t!" she begged. “You're the one that's fine. I know what it meant to you to go through what you did this afternoon. I did it just to shock you, and I ate the peanuts to shock you, and rode the thrillers to shock } you, and screamed at the top of my voice to shock you. And you were so nice about it all, so—" “Why, say!"” he interrupted her. “Hold on! You're all wrong. I had “And I thought you were so digni fled—so awfully, terribly dignified!” said she. i1 “Am I dignified?” he demanded e w2 e A she declared “What's that?” he asked. “Human,” said she. “Little girl—" he began “It's coming,” sang the girl's heart, “I shan't let his dignity stand in the way of my happiness—now!” (Copyright, 1914, by the McClurs Newspa~ i per Syndicate.) not speak until they were well down | the time of my life.
