Cherry Strickland came In the door of the Strickland house, and shut lt behind lier, and stood so, with her hands behind her on the knob, and her slender hody leaning forward, and her bosom rising ami falling un deep, ecstatic breaths. It was May in Cali fornia, she was Just eighteen, timi for twenty one iiiinut s she had hoon en gaged m be married. She hardly knew why, nfl er that Inst farewell to Martin, she hud run so swiftly np the path, und why she hud Hashed into the house, and closed tho door with sneh noiseless haste. Then' was net bing to run fer! Rill it was as ir she feared that Ibo Joy with in her mildil escupe Into Ibo moonlight niicht thal was s?> perfume?) with lilacs ami the scent of wet woutis. She was af mid thu! it was ali Inn won derful lo be true, Hitit she WOllld awaken !n tin? morning to find li only a dream, (bat she weald somehow full short of Marlin's Ideal-somehow fall him-somehow turn all this magic of moonshine mal kisses into ashes and heartbreak. She wns a miser with ber treasure, already; she wanted to Hy willi lt, and to hide lt away, and lo test Its reality In secret, alone. She had come reining in from the wonderland down by Hie gute, lust for this, just j to prove to herself that lt would not vanish in thu coinnionrdnceness of tho shabby hall, would not disappear be fore the everyday eontuet of everyday things. Dad was in the sitting room, with ttie girls. The doctor's bouse was full of girls. Anne, his niece, was twenty four; Allx, Cherry's sister, three years younger-how staid and unmarried and undesired they seemed tonight to panting and glowing and glorified eighteen! \M ". with Ml.x's er ra De help, kent house for her uncle, and wan RnpiK>sod to keep u sharp eye on ?li? i.., io" Hut she hadn't been ? rp enough t> keep Martin Lloyd from asking lier to marry him, exulted Chet ry, ns she stood breathless and laughing In the dnrk ballway. An older woman might have gone upstairs, to dream alone of her new Joy, but Cherry thought that lt would be "fun" lo Join the family, and "act as if nothing bini happened!" She was only a child, nl'ler all. Consciously or unconsciously, they hud all tried lo keep her ii child, these three who looked up t<> smile at her as she came tn. Mae of (bein, rosy, gray-hoa?lc?l, ningnillcent at sixty, was her father, whose favorite she knew she was. Ile held out bis hand to her without rinsing the book that was lu the other hand, and drew her to the wide arni of his chair, where she set sHed herself with ber soft young body rest Int: turn inst him, her slim tinkles crossed, and ber rhtVk dropped against his thick silver bair. Allx was rending, and dreamily scratching lier ankle as she read; she was a tall, awkward girl, younger fat nt twenty-one than Cherry was al eighteen, pretty In a gipsyish way, un tidy as to hnlr, with round black eyes, high, thin cheek hones marked with scarlet, mid ft wide, humorous mouth that was somehow droll lu Its expres sion even when she waa angry or seri ous. \ Anne, smiling demurely over hei white sewing, was a small, prettily mude little woman, with silky halt trimly braided, and a rather pale, small face with channing and regular features. Anne bud "admirers," too. Cherry reflected, looking at her, to night, bul neither she nor Alix had ever been engaged-engaged-en gaged : "Aren't yoi! home early?" said Dr Strickland, rubbing Ids cheek against bis youngest daughter's cheek in sleepy content. He was never quit?; happy unless all three girls wore lr his sight, kilt for this girl he hail al kVUJs felt tin cspeeinj protecting fond ness. Ile hud followed her exquisite childhood with more than a father'* usual devotion, perhaps because shr really lind bein an exceptionally en dearing Child, perhaps because she had been given him, a tiny crying thing In a basket, t?i lill the great gap bei mother's truing hud left In bis lu'iirt. "Mr. Lloyd had to tnk?> the nilli o'clock train," Cherry answered bet father dieu nilly, "und he ntul Pet??r walked home with me!" She did not a?Id that IVter hn?l left them nt his own turning, n qunrti'r of n mlle away. "I thought he wasn't going to be at Mrs. North's for dinner," Anne ob served quietly, In the silence. She had been informally asked to the Norths for dinner that evening her self, and had declined for no other reason than that attractive Martin Lloyd wai presumably not to be there. "He wasn't," Cherry said, "Ht thOUght bc bud tO go tn limn itt six. I Just Stopped In to give I hem Dad's message, ?inti they teased me to stay. iou know wiiero 1 was, didn't you Dad?" she murmured. "Mrs. North telephoned nhout six, Ind sn ld you were there, hut she didn't kay that Mr. Lloyd was," Anne said, with a faint hint of discontent lu her tone. Allx fixed her bright, mischievous eyes upon thc two, and suspended her rending for a moment. Alix's attitude toward the opposite sex was one of calm contempt, outwardly. But she had made rather an exception of Mar tin Lloyd, and lind recently hail a conversation willi him on the subject of sensible, platonic friendships be tween men ami wemen. At the Itu . Jyton of his name she looked up. e membering this talk with a little thrill. His mime had thrilled Anne, too al- j though she betrayed no sign of it as she sat quietly matching silks. Ill ?nct, all three of the girls were quite ready to full in love with young Lloyd, if two of them had not actually dene so. Cherry had not been at home when Martin first appeared In Mill Valley, and the older girls bad written her, visiting friends In Napa, that she must come ami meet tho new man. Martin was a mining engineer; he had buen employed In a Nevada mine, but was visiting bis cousin In the val ley now before going to u new position in June. In its informal fashion, Mill Valley bad entoitallied him; he had tramped to the big forest five miles away with the Stricklands, and there had been a picnic to the mountain top, everybody making the hard cltrah ex cept Peter Joyce, who was a 'trifle lame, and perhaps a little lazy as .veli, and who usually rode an old hi>rse. with the lunch In saddle-bags af each side. Allx formulated her theofrUs of platonic friendships on these talks; I Anni I reamed ti foolish, happy yfcain. Girls did marry, mei) did vake^lves t'> thoinselyes, dreamed .viN\/ . ml ' bc unspeakably' sw . i, ?fut it ! .M bo no mirarle I , It was Just after that mountain pic nic that Cherry had come home; on a Sunday* as lt chanced, chat was her eighteenth birthday, and on which Martin and hts aunt were coming to d imer. Allx had marked the occasion by wearing a loose velvet gown in which she fancied herself; Anne bad conscientiously decorated the table, had seen to lt that there was Ice cream, and chicken, and all tho acces sories that moke n Sunday (limier In the country a national Institution. Cherry had done nothing helpful. On the contrary, she hud disgraced herself and Infuriated Hong by decid ing to make fudge tho last minute. Hong had finally relegated her to the laundry, and lt was from ?his limbo that Martin, laughing joyously, extri cated her, when, sticky and repentant, she had called for help. It was Mar tin who untied the checked brown apron, disentangling from the strings the silky gold tendrils that were blow ing over Cherry's white neck, and Martin who opened the door for her sugary fingers, and Martin who She Found a Silver-Topped Candy Jar and the Card of Mr. John Martin Lloyd. watched the Hying little ligar,, out of sight with n prolonged " Whew-w-w I" of utter astonishment. The child was a beauty. 1 Her eighteenth birthday! Martin had been shown her birthday gifts; books and a silver bell hinkle and a gold pen and stationery am! handker chiefs. A day or two later she 'had had another gift; had opened the tiny shrove box \\ 1111 n sudden hammering at her heavt, with a presage of delight. She ht d found a silver-topped candy Jar, and the card of Mr. John Martin Lloyd, and under tho name. In tiuy . r . i? irr : v jj 'm i i letters, the words "Oh, fudfel" Tfte girls laughed over this nonsense ap preciatively, but there was more than laughter In Cherry's heart. From that moment tbe world was changed. Uer father, her sister, ber cousin had second pince, now. Cherry had put out her Innocent little hand, and had opened the gate, and had passed through lt Into the world. That hour was the beginning, and it had led her surely, steadily, to the other hour tonight when she bad been kissed, and bad kissed in return. ".So-we walk home with young men?" mused the doctor, smiling. "Look here, girls, this little Miss Muf fet wiJl be cutting you both out with thiit young man, if you're not care ful I" Alli, deep lu her story, did not hear him, but Anne smiled faintly, and faintly frowned as she shook her bead. She considered Cherry sufll ciently precocious without Uncle Lee's Ill-considered tolerance. ile would have had them always children, this tender, simple, innocent Ur. Strickland. He was in many ways a child himself. He had never i made money In his profession ; he and his wife and the two tiny girls had had a hard enough struggle sometimes. 1 Anne and her own futher had Joined the family eight years ago, in the1 same yeer that the Strickland patent lire extinguisher, over which the doe tor had been puttering for years, had been sold. It did not sell, ns his neighbors believed, for a million dol lars, but for perhaps one-tenth of that sum. It was enough, and more than enough, whatever lt was. After Anne's father died lt meant that the doctor could live on In the brown house under the redwoods, with his girls-, reading, fussing with a new in vention, walking, consulting with Anne, laughing ut Alix, and spoiling his youngest-born. It was n perfect life for the old man; ic was only lately that he begun uneasily to suspect that they would Rome day want something more, that they would some day tire of . empty forest and blowing mountain ridge, and go away from the shadow of Mt. Tnmalpais, and Into the world. Anne, now-was she beginning to fancy this young Lloyd? Dr. Strick land was surprised with the fervor with which he repudiated the thought. | This young engineer, who had drifted already Into a dozen different and dis tant pinces, was not tho mau for stnld little Anne. "What did you want to 6ee Mr Lloyd about tomorrow, Dad?" Cherry Interrupted his thoughts to ask. . "The rose vine. What did he say about coming over, Cherry?" Cherry remarked, between two rend ing yawns, that Mr. Lloyd was coming ovo. tomorrow al len o'clock, and Peter, too "Peter won't be UlUCb good!" A'lr .ommcnUo.. OBerry b ul.?ut lit her rei proachfully. "You're awfully menn to Peter, ?late lyl" she protested. Her father gave her a shrewd look, with his good-night kiss, and Immediately afterward both the younger girls dragged their way up to bed. Allx and Cherry shared a bare, woody-smelling room tucked away un der brown eaves. The walls were of raw pine, tb > latticed windows, In bungalow fashion, opened Into the flagrant darkness of the night. The beds were renlly bunks, and above her bunk euell girl had an extra berth, for occasional guests. There was scant prettiness In the room, and yet lt was full of purity and charin. The girls, like nil their neighbors, were hardy, bred to cold baths, long walks, simple hours, and simple food. In the soft western climate they left their bed room windows open the year round; they liked to wake to winter dnmp nnd fog, and go downstairs with blue finger-tips and chattering teeth, to warm themselves with breakfast nnd the fire. Allx rolled herself In n gray army blanket, and was asleep In some sixty seconds. Put Cherry felt that she was floating In seas of new Joy nnd utter delight, nnd that she would never be sleepy again. Downstairs Anne nnd the doctor sat staidly on, the man dreaming with a knotted forehead, the girl sewing. Presently she ran a needle through her fine white work with seven tiny stitches, folded lt. nnd put her thimble Into a case thnt hung from her order ly workbng with a long ribbon. .Walt a minute. Anne," said the doc tor, as she straightened herself to rise. .'This young Lloyd, now-what do you (bink of him?" She widened demure blue eyes. "Should you be sorry If I-liked him, Uncle I,oe?" she-smiled. The old mun rumpled his sliver hnlr restlessly. "Tlint's tho way the wind blows, eh?" he asked kindly. "Well-you seo how much he's hsre I You see the flowers and books and notes. I'm not the sort ;>f girl to wear my heart on my sleeve," Anne, who was fond of small conservational tngs, assured him merrily. "Hut there must be some lire where there's so much smoke J" she ended. "You're not sure, my dear?" he asked, after some thought. "Oh, no!" she answered. "It's Just a fancy that persists In coming nnd going." She got tr her feet, saying brightly. "Well! we mustn't take this too gravely-yet. It was only thnt I wanted to be open and above-board with you, uncle, from the beginning. Tbnt's the only honest way." "Thnt's wdse and right !" ber uncle answered, In the kindly, absent tone he hud ived to them as children, a tone 'rt <?'us apt to use to Anne when ?he was In ber highest mood, und one ?he rather resented.
