"Anne?you "weren't there when tlmt
young chap tumbled. But I've been
worrying about it a little. There's no
question?there's no question that she
?that Cherry?called him by his
name. 'Martin,' she called him."
Anne had crossed to the shadowy
doorway: she-stood still.
"You've not noticed anything between
him and Cherry?" pursued the
doctor. "A girl might call a man by
his name. I suppose?"
"I don't think there has heca anything
to notice," Anne stated, in a level
tone.
"Well, it must he stopped, if it has
begun." decided her uncle. "I can't
permit it?I'd forgotten how the little
witch grows!"
Again Anne was -silent. She was
not in love with Martin Lloyd; shewas
not as susceptible as the mtfch |
younger Cherry, and she had not had
his .urging to help her to a quick surrender.
But for the lirst time in her
life she had seen an absolutely suit- i
able man, a man whose work, position. !
looks, name and character fitted her
rather exacting standard, and for the
lirst time she find let herself think
confidently of idling wooed and won.
And. standing in the doorway, she
tasted the last hitter dregs of the
tjpenm. It was all over. vAnne was
at the .age that sets twenty-five years
as the definite boundary of spinster- '
hood. She would Le twenty-live in
August.
AJix came in from her walk glowing,
and full of a great 'discovery.
"Dud," she said eagerly, taking her
place at the supper tablet, "what do
yon tiiinkj I'll bet you a dollar that
man is falling- in love, with our
Cherry!" * , . ;
Anne, at the head of the tablej
looked pninejl, hut there was gcnu'ne
apprehension in the doctor's face.
"Where Is yoiijr sister?" ho asked. 1
"Down there l?.v the gate." Alls an- j
swered. "They're gazing soulfully into
each other's eyes, and aJl that!. Peter i
wept home. But Cherry?wltji jt hcau !
Ihnf il:?? t-XIon'iioll of
the limit! I'm crazy ahmit it?I think
it's groat. I Jote weddings! This'll ;
lie the third I've l>een to!"
"All this' seems to have come up j
very suddenly." the doctor said, dazedly.
rumpling his gray hair with n tine
old hand. "I don't imagine your sister
is taking it as seriously^as you and
Anno seem inclined to?"
"Oh, does Anno think so!" Aiix exclaimed.
"I think Cherry is one of the fortunate
girls destined to drift along
the surface of life," Anne said, "and
to accept wifohndjl quite siinpJy. I
only wish I were* flint type?"
She wps itdtrrufiited I?y Cherry herself.
Tin* girl came to the porch door, ;
ami as slie liesitntod there a minute,
with her smiling eyes seeking her fa

thor's fnrp, they saw thtt T.y one* lirtsi
small hand !.:i!p drew Iior lover lie-side
licr. Martin Lloyd's smiling fact- :
showed above In rs in the lamplight.
"Dad!" said Cla-rry, with a childish 1
hreatli. "Dad! I've brought Martin'
to supper!"
CHAPTER III.
The
tlif e at tl i- table did tint move 1
for perhaps twenty slow seconds. Dr.

"Doe I or,'1 said Martin, routing in,
"this l^tfie girl of years and I have
something f<> tell you!"
rj'he old man looked .'it iiim sharply,
ahnoot sternly, looked. about at the '
I
: girTs' faces, and \rai silent.
"Are you surprised, Daddy?" Cherry 1
laugljed, with all a child's innocent
exultation. The next Instant Anne ,
and Martin were shaking hands, and
Alix had enveloped Cherry in an enthusiastic
embrace.
"Surprised!" exclaimed Alix. "Why,
1 aren't you surprised yourself?"
Iler sister (lushed exquisitely, and
Martin laughed.
"We're just about knocked silly!" '
he confessed, and all the girls laughed
joyously. ?
A place was made for Martin, and j
biscuits and omelet and honey and '
tea were put Into brisk circulation. :
Cherry took, her chair, nil dimples,
flushes, smiles, and si" confidence.
"And what are your plans?" Anne I
i asked maternally.
Fler uncle, who had been silent during
the excitement, mildly interposed: [
"I thfnk we needn't go too fast, I
young people! You've only known j
each other a few weeks, after all; you '
must he pretty sure of yourselves he- 1
fore taking anything like a decisive
step. Plenty of time?plenty of time, j
Mr. Lloyd hero and I must have some
talks about his plans?"
"I know exactly how you feel, Doctor."
Martin said, sensibly and s.vtn- !
pathetically. "1 realize that 1 should :
have come to you first, and asked to
pay my respects to your daughter. Ex- ;
cept that it all came over me with
such a rush. A week ago Cherry was
only a most attractive child, to me.
I'd spoken to my aunt about her and ;
had said that I envied the man that j
was some day to,win her, and that |
was all! Then the time came for me 1
to get back to work?and 1 found IV
Couldn't go! And then came last j
night, when I began to say good-byes,
and?It happened! I know that you
all hardly know me. and I know that
Cherry Is pretty young -to settle down,
put 1 think I ciln satisfy you, Doctor, j
that you give her Into safe hands, and j
I believe she'll never regret trusting
x?ed"
Ho had go:ton to his feet as he spoke
ami was holding the hack of Ills chair,
looking anxiously and eagerly iuto the
old man's eyes.
"Well?" said the doctor, touched,
In his gentlest tone; "well! It had !
to come, perhaps. I can't promise her '
to you very scon, Mr. Lloyd. But If
you both are willing to wait, and if
time proves this to lie the real feeling.
I don't believe you'll find me hard
on you!"
"That's all I ask, sir!" Martin said,
resinning ins scat aim ms uinner. aihi
far the rest of the meal harmony and
gayety reigned.
After dinner Cherry and Martin, in ;
aJI the ecstatic first delight of rcoog- 1
ni/ed love, went out to the wide front !
porch, where there were wicker chairs,
tinder the rose vines. - Alix alone '
laughed at them as they went. Anne, !
with a storm in her heart, played nois- j
ily on the piano, and the doctor, after
giving the doorway where Cherry had
disappeared a wistful look, restlessly
took to his armchair and his hook, in
such desolation of spirit as he had not j
known since the dark day of her moth- '
er's death.
***?**
Tin? next day Alix and the engaged '
pair walked up t<> invite I'eter to a ;
tennis foursome on the old Hlithedale
court, it was a Saturday, and as he
usually dined with them, or asked them
to dine with him on Saturday, they j
were not surprised to find him busy
with a charcoal hunter, under the
trees, compounding a marvelous dish '
of chicken, tomatoes, cream and mush-!
rooms.
"Stop your messing one second!" i
Alix said, catching him by the arm.
"Congratulate tluse creatures?they?
they're going to he married! Why
don't you congratulate them?"
Peter gave one long look at Martin
and Cherry, who stood laughing,
Jmt n little confused and self-conscious.

shock like death in his heart, ho real-1
Ized that it was all over. Their pro-!
tection of her, their suspicions, had!
come too late. Illind child that she
was, she was committed to this fascinating
and m?toi\o.is adventure.
Iiis face grew dark with a sudden
rush of blood. Itut he went to them
quickly and shook hands with Martin,
and was presently reproaching Cherry;
for her secrcMvci.e^s in his old, or
almost his old, way.
