He chuckled, and at this cheerful sound his wife ventured to put her hand upon his arm, They had gone outdoors, after dinner, taking two chairs with them, and were keeping well away from ‘the “front porch.” Alice was in her room changing her dress, | “Well, honey,’’ Mrs. Adams said, taking confidence to revive this dis- | used endearment;—-"‘it's grand to; huve you so optimistic.’ “Well—I got to admit the proposi- tion begins to look pretty good —1t— know the stuff'll sell, and he laughed plaintively, well t's funny it's mighty funny about that | irgi She lifted he: strike his arm chiding harping on that nonsense Well," he said, slowly hand to "Do quit “it's a| zie \ Nhat is?” | Pretty much everything, I guess.” spoke, a song came to them | Alice went down through the | to walt on the little veranda. chiamo Mimi,” she‘sang.

The little veranda was their glamorous nook, with a faint golden light falling through the glass of the closed door upon Alice, The back of the world was the wall and closed door behind them; and Russell al- ways thought of her as sitting there. A glamour was about her thus, and a spell upon him; but he had a ferm- less anxiety for’ all the pictures of her in his mind stopped at the closed door. He had another anxiety, was of her own creating, ‘Lately, he had half confessed to her, “your'e getting me so upset that if I ever hear anybody so much as say the at “God know! said Adams. “I con't!
