Downstairs, fiic'flnctor sat on, think
Jnir. him] liis face was prove. He was
thinking of little Cherry's good-night
kiss half an hour ago. She hail rested
against his arm, and he had field her
' there, hut what had l#~ou the thoughts
behind the blue eyes so near his own?
lit realized with a great rush of fear
'hat some man had kissed Cherry tonight.
had held her against a tobacco#
scented coat, and that the girl was n
woman, and an awakened woman at
that. Cherry?kissed a man! Her father's
heart winced away from the
thought.
Young Lloyd ami I'eter had walked
IioinO with her. But if Anne was right
k in her maidenly suspicions of Lloyd's
i intentions, then it must have been Peter
who surprised little Cherry with a
sudden embrace.
And as lie came to his conclusions
a certain relief crept into the old
man's heart. Peter was an odd fellow
; he was ten years too old for the
child. Put Peter was a lover of hooks
and gardens and woods and music, after
all, and Peter's father and this old
man musing by the fire had been "Lee"
and "Paul" to each other since hoyhood.
Peter might give Cherry a kiss
as innocently as a brother; In any
ease. Peter would wait for her, wouJd
lio all consideration and tenderness
when he did win her;
Cherry, lie reflected fearfully, was
as pretty as her motjicr had been at
eighteen, with the same rounded chin
and apricot cheeks, and the same
shadowed innocent hluo eyes with a
film of corn-colored hair Mown across
them. She had the strange, the Indefinable
quality that wIiho.it words, almost
without glances, draws youth
toward youth, draws admiration and
passion, draws life and all its pain.
Her father for the first time tonight
formulated in his heart the thought
that she might he happily married?
Married?nonsense! Why, what did
she know of life, of submission and
courage and sacrifice? It would he
yojfrs, many years, before the snowy
frills, and the pale gold head, and the
firm, brown little hand would he ready
for that!
Not many hours after he went slowly
up to bed morning began to creep
into the Utile valley. Alix, at her
early bath, heard quail calling, ami
A looked out to see the last of the log
vanishing at eight o'clock, and to get
a wet rush of fragrance from the Persian
lilac, blooming this year for the
first time. At half-past eight she came
out into the garden, to find her father
somewhat ruefully studying the tumbled
ruins of the yellow bauksfu rose.
The garden was still wet. hut wanning
fast; she picked a plume of dark
and perfumed loJiotropd, and began to
fasten it ir. his coat lapel while she
kissed him.
"We'll never get that hack on the
roof, my dear hoy," Alix said maternally.
ller father pursed Ids lips, shook
his l ead doubtfully. The rose, a short
week ago, had been spreading fanlike

'Morning, Doctor!"
I
father and daughter turned to smile
upon him, n tall. lean man, with t\
young face and a finely gnomcd head,
and with touches of premature silver
j at his temples.
He was a bachelor. Just entering 1
his thirties, a fastidious, critical, ex- |
nAing man by reputation, but showing '
his-best side to tlie Strickiands. They '
Iiad a vague idea that he was rich, ac- !
cording to their modest standard, but j
lie apparently had no extravagant
tastes, and lived as quietly, or ntore j
quietly, than they did. Re liked soli- |
j tude, hooks, music, .dogs, and his fireside.
The old doctor's one social en- j
; Joymeut was In visiting Peter, and j
! the younger man went to no other
place so steadily ns??he came to the
old house under the redwoods.
"'.Morning, Peter T' said Doctor
Strickland now, smiling at him.
! "Have you had yours?"
I "My house," said fir. Joyce, fastidiously,
"is a well-managed place. Say,"
, he added, pursing his lips to whistle,
as lie looked at the rose tree, "did
Tuesday's wind do that?"
i "Tuesday's wind and Dad," Alix
answered. "Will it go back, Peter?"
"1?I don't know!" lie mused,
walking slgwly about the wreck. "If
we had a lever down here, and some
; fellow on the roof with u rope, may- |
lie."
"Mr. Lloyd is coming over'" Allx
announced. Peter nodded absently, I
hut the mention of Martin Lloyd re- |
minded him that they had nil dined |
at his house on the very evening when !
lhe mysterious gale bad commenced, j
and with interest lie asked:
"Cherry catch cold coming home |
Tuesday night?"
."No; she squeezed In between Dnd I
and irte, and was as warm as toast!"
Alix answered casually. "Ilow'd you
like Mr. Lloyd?" she added.
"Nice fellow!"' Peter answered.
"lie's awfully nice," Aljx agreed.
"Who is he?" Peter asked curiously.
"Where are his people and all that?" j
"Ills people live in Portland," the 1
girl answered. "He's a mining en- .
gineer, and lie's walling now to he i
called to El Nido; lie's to be at a mine
there. He's lots of fun?when you
knqw him, really!"
"Talking of the new Prince Charm- j
ing, of course," Anne said, joining i
them, anil linking an arm in her tin- j
ele's anil in Alix's arm. "Don't hring
that puppy in, Alix. please! Breakfast,
Uncle Lee. Come and have an- j
other cup of coffee. Peter!"
"Prince Charming, eh?" Peter ;
echoed thoughtfully, as they nil i
turned toward a delicious drift of the 1
odor of bacon and coffee, and crossed '
the porch to the dining room. "I was j
going down for the mull, hut now I'll |
have to stay and see this rose matter 1
through! Thanks, Anne, but I'll i
watch you. Where's Cherry?" he I
added, glancing about.
Cherry answered the question her- 1
self by trailing in in n Japanese wrap- j
per, and beginning to drink her coffee i
1*1. ni'iitc I'netlit" i\!? I lut I
table. Nobody protested, the adored
youngest was usually given her way.
"I heard you all laughing, under
iho window and it?woke?me?up!"
Cherry said dreamily.
"It seems to nu?," Anne, who had
been eyeing Iter uneasily, said lightly,
that some one I know is getting pretty
old to come downstairs in tliat^ rig
when, strangers are here!"
"If seems to Tne this is just as do- j
cent as lots of things?bathing suits,
for instance!" Cherry returned In- !
stantly, gathering the robe about her, j
and giving Anne a resentful glance
over her blue cup.
"I have a rope somewhere?" the |
doctor uminated. "Where did I put
that l"iig rope?what did I have it
for, in th" first place "
, "You had it to guy the apple tree,"
Alix reminded him. "The tree that
died after ail?"
"Aii, yes!" said her father, his attentive
face brightening. "Ah, yes!
Now where Is that rope?" Jhit even
as .Mix observed that she had seen it
somewhere, and ndvatieed a tentative
guess :i< to tli" eel In r, his eyes fell
upon ('berry, end v;ent from Cherry's
ansorneu jaee?mr sue was un-anine.:
1 over 1 a*r breakfast?to IVtor, anil ho
wondered if IVtor had kissed her.
"Coine on. let's get at it!" Alls exclaimed
with relish. "Come on,
Sweetuins," she added, to the do;;.
She caught Ids forepnws, and lie
wliij: I his heanl iful tail between
hi- 1< _ . and looked about wilh agon]::
d eyes while she dragged him
through a clutusy dance. "He's the
r darling -d pup we ever had!" Alix
? stated to t'lerry, who was departing
for tii" u|'|i r regions iinti a complete

"I'.riir,' your cigarette out hero, IVtcM',"
the old doctor said, crossing the
rardcu to look in tin* abandoned
greenhouse for his rope. "It's not
laic." lie Staled. Then he began
a: ain. "Vosi hrouuht I'heiT.t home last

with distaste and incredulity In his !
tone.
"You don't thin1.; so?" the doctor,
looking nt him wistfully, asked eng- j
erly. i
"Why, certainly not!" Peter said,
his face very red. "She's mu*ch j
younger than Anne and Alix-?"
"It doesn't always go by that," the ~
doctor ^suggested. /
"No, I know it doesn't," Peter answered
in his quick, annoyed fashion, c
"I should be sorry," Cherry's futher
admitted.
"Sorry!" Peter echoed Impatiently.
"But it's quite out of the question, of
course! It's quite out of the question.
She?she woui ln't consider him j
for aq instant," lie suddenly decided j
in great satisfaction. "You mustn't j
forget tiiat. she lias something to do
with it! Very fustidious, Cherry. ;
She's not like other girls 1" i
"Thnts true?that's true!" Doctor
Strickland agreed, in great relief.
They turned back toward the garden, ~
In time to meet Alls and several dogs
streaming across the clearing. Over
(lie girl's shoulder was coiled the i
groat .ope; she leaped various logs (
and small bushes as she came, aud
the dogs barked madly and leaped
with her. Breathless, she stumbled and
fell into her father's arms, and

indulgently: "If this Is .

years younger and less responsible!"
