Phil hardly heard what the count was saying as she leaned over the rail and looked ahead at New York's skyline of tall buildings shaping out of the morning haze. She knew perfectly well that Aunt Isabel was watching them from her deck chair even while bqq discussed custom troubles with the commodore and Larry. The whole situation had been explained to Phil before she left her stateroom. "We've done everything we could for you, Philippa," Aunt iBabel had said plaintively. "Here we have the royal suite or bridal suite, or whatever they call it, and everyone thinks, of course, you are your uncle's heiress. 1 I haven't denied It, for it helps im- j mansely, and both the commodore and myself are really Quite fond of you. You've been very sweet during the trip and clothos have done wonders for you, too, and there's no reason why you shouldn't marry the count. I have no doubt but what your under would do the right thing by you, though I do hope the castle is well ventilated. He hates stuffy ruins, so I'd never get him to visit you. I'm sure your mother can't say but what I've made you a success." "Yes, ma'am," Phil said mildly, turning around on her little finger Larry's boyish silver ling. Plain it was, just a band of silver worn thin, with his monogram engraved on it, but it had been on her hand since a certain evening the third day out. She regarded it thoughtfully. Larry had not been definite. He had not made any sort of a proper prosposal, as Aunt Isabel would have put it. He had only slipped the ring from his own hand to hers as it lay beside him on the rail lng, and had tried to tell her how much she meant to him, and ho.v some day when he had made a sue-' cess he would go to the commodore and ask him to give her to him. Larry had been the unLiown quantity in Aunt Isabel's reckoning. The commodore had met him In Paris, . stranded after trying to impress the continent with the value of a certain make of spark plugs. As a salesman he was a failure, but the commodore had made him private secretary, courier and general major domo, and he had won his regard and the surety of, work in the big general offices out' West. ' ' i' Somehow there didn't seem t<^ be ' anything real excepting the littlq. sllTar ring.. 4 She hated tfifc Cinderella clothes she wore and etafr the string of pearls the commodore had given her. And as she saw Larry's cheerfj^. "I'm awfully sorry," Bhe told ito little, courteous count, giving him her hand, "but I can't do as you wish I'm not the commodore's heiress, you know. I'm just his niece by marriage, and they had both been kind enough to give mo this trip. I haven't $100 of my very own. Won't you go knd talk to Aunt Isabel, please, and forget all about me?" "Mademoiselle, I?I honor you," he faltered over her hand. And Phil j knew he was grateful to her for her i frankness. Then she turned to Larry. f ana tney leaned over the railing together happily. "You turned him down, didn't you?' Larry said. ,r She nodded her head. "I. told him the real truth, and I want to tell yoit too, Larry." And she did?far more completely than the count had heard it. "What are you going to do?" asked Larry. "8tay home and look after things and mother. I'm the only one that likes home life," she laughed. "Aunt Isabel said the only home for me was eflher to dress me up and make me a social attraction, or else marry me of( to some adjacent farmer. We haven't any adjacent farmers down our way, though, and I'm not a social success a bit." Larry's strong young hand closed over hers. His face was olose to Ler Huffy windblown hair. "Can I go and tell the commodore he's got to raise my salary because I'll have a wife to look after soon'i Can I, Phil? I know you care, sweetheart. You're blushing like fury.^ If you don't quit it. I'm going to lean over and kiss you beforo everybody. Can I tell him, Phil?" "After we dock." .said Phil, contentedly. "1 don't want Aunt Isabel or the little count to faint away just this min ute. They'll think we're perfectly crazy, Larry." "Who cares?" Larry retorted promptly. "I may not have any moldy old castle or title to give you, but I'll make you happy, dear, I know 1 will." Phil snuggled as close to his side as she could get. "I'll bet a cookie," she whispered, "Cinderella Just loved real pumpkins and mice. Crystal sllpporB pinch awfully."

Aunt Betty, who is not really an aunt at all, out only a very dear friend of mother's, has made her n.UU 4? A uuuic nuu uo iui over twenty years. She has been with us ever since she lost her little boy and her husband in a forest fire in Canada. We were very fond of her in spite of her queer ways. One of her ideas was that some day her son would come back, alive and Btrong. and that he wou'd marry Dorothy. She kept the half of a coin that had been hers since her courtship days. The other half had been tied round the neck of her husband, who had vanished in the smoke. She would fetch it out ,of its hiding place every little while and fondle it, saying: "My husband 1 shall never see again, but my son will come and bring the other half of this coin to Dorothy, Just as his father brought it to me." Dorothy, who is my sister, took It all in good part, and never let Aunt Betty catch her smiling at me when her future husband was mentioned. I certainly was surprised when she took it into her head?but I am going too fast. One would have thought that Chadwick was the last of people to cause any disturbance in our quiet, well-ordered life. He was an ideal chauffeur. Until he came we were always at the mercy of our chauffeur. When Chadwick came, however, everything went smoothly, especially the car. Chadwick was a clean, upstanding American of far above the average intelligence. Dorothy liked him, she said, because he bad a perfectly straight nose. Either the nose or the fascination f nr* mntnri n cr m o^n w aqHIw w> ?MWV> U1UUV A-?Wi UtUJ oaui/ neglect her horses for the sake of the automobile. None of us thought any thing of it until one day Dorothy said she was going to see the Johnsons, who lived about twenty miles away, and went off with Chadwick in the automobile. About half an hour later Aunt Betty made up her mind that she would like to go (o the Johnsons' also. I borrowed Tony Spencer's machine and took her along. About ten miles from hdme we came up with our own car standing empty in the road. I pulled up<and jumped out to find what was the matter and came on a scene I shall pever forget until my dying day. Dorothy and Chadwlok were both aeated on the ground..'.He had his arm around her waist, ahd she had a luncheon basket In her lap. She was Just putting a piece of chicken into his mouth, and they were laughing about it. Think of it! A daughter of the American republic; my own little sister Dorothy, feeding her chauffeur on chicken in the public J^ighway?or nearly 1 .. ^Qc>?d b earcaa!" 1 cried, gf -THiWf Vv&i looked up, and then, seeing who it was, they scrambled to their feet. "Mercy sakes!" cried Aunt Betty, who had followed me. After that there was a silence which Dorothy was the first to break. "I ddh't care," she said. "I love him." And with that she fell Bobbins: on Aunt Rflttv'n motherly breast. I was wild with rage. "What right have you to touch her, to so much as look at her?" I asked Chadwick. "You?a greasy mechanic, with your hands and clothes slimy with the oil of machines. What sort of a home could you give her? A stucco dwelling in a back street, with the neighbors' children clambering over the front porch?the neighbors' weekly waBh flapping in the backyard!" He heard me out without flinching, though I could see every word I uttered hurt. When I stopped for treath, he began to speak. "My God. Miss Henderson! You don't have to tell me that. But what are we to do? We love each other. I swear ?o you I meant no harm, swear to you on the thing I hold mosi sacred." He was tugging at his neck aa he spolie, and then he drew from under hiB shirt the half of & coin exaptly like Aunt Betty's, "Where did you get that?" screamed Aunt Betty. Dorothy and I stood op?n-mouthed. "I've had It since I was ft hoy. My father put It round my neck Just be* fore he died. I remember his saying, 'Go, take the old token to your moth* er, lad.' I have been trying to find my mother ev?r alnr? " "My son, my son!" cried Aunt Betty, and she fainted in his arms. I shall never forget the expression on my mother's face when 1 brought Chadwick down to dinner with me and introduced him as Aunt Bctty'a son, and Dorothy's fiance The Jag Remedy. "I noticed the soldiers in Europe are using bath trains," remarked Mr. Gadders. "How interesting!" exclaimed Mrs. Gadders. "Are there also Turkish bath trains?"

He seemed very much worried while the doctor was dressing the mangled hand, 1 and at last he asked: "Will it 1 heal up so that I can use my ' hand all right?" "Oh yes, sure," the doctor ' said. "But will I be able to play the piano after my hand gets well?" "Oh yes, sure." "Gee, Doc, you're a wonder." said the boy. "I never could before." M. M.
