"I don't know," replied Molly, much | %
oncerued. "Did you send some?" i g
"No. but 1 thought some were to be ^
ent to you," laughed Bert. "It's too t,
;ood to keep. Fern. By the way, that ^
Fern' Just slipped, and you'll have to
mrdon me for it. It's Molly's fault.
Ihe never called you anything else."
"Who is it?" demanded Molly, more
ager to hear the news than he liked to
ee. "The information is highly imlortaut.
if true, and I must not be
;ept in suspense."
"Hold on to something, then," he
varned her. "One, two, three?Sledge!"
"Sledge!" she repeated. "What?
L'hat great big"? She paused for lack
>f words, and her face tlamed suddenly
carlet with indignation.
"Sledge." he joyously insisted, and
hen. to the puzzled Fern. "You re
uemlier the big fellow whose car stopied
just abreast us last night."
Mr. Glider, who as a boy Lad been
in expert in pulling the wings from
lies, went straight on with the slaugher.
seizing immediately the glorious
ipportunity which presented itself
vlieu Mr. Marley. brave iu smoking
acket nnd>pnmps. sauntered into the
iarlor.
"Great news Marley!" hailed Bert,
naming with delight upon the joyous
aughter of Fern "Molly has captured
i new honor for the family. Whose
lo you suppoue Is the latest scalp at
ter belt?"
"It might be almost anybody," reurned
Marley. who felt that his mothrless
daughti -'s popularity reflected
omebow on himself. "Who is the
articular vi.-tiw you have iu mind?"
ud he lau. Ik-J iu advance.
"Sledge!" exploded Bert. "By the
ray. Marley. Le gave you a hint of it
oo. Didn't he ask you today while I
ras there for un invitation to Molly's
arty tomorrow night or something
ke that?" ' **"*
"Welt, not exactly, but be did throw
ut some pretty strong hints," acnowledged
Marley with a grin, en
ering into the joyous spirit of the occasion.
"lie asked permission to call
n Molly. 1 told him that was up to
ler."
"How unusually considerate!" oberved
Molly, biting her lips to suppress
the rising fury which had driven
he blushes from her cheeks and left
hem almost waxen.
The Marley butler, a tbin faced and
hin legged young man with n paiu'ully
Intellectual countenance, stalked
past the hallway portieres in answer
o a below stairs ring and returned
'rom the front door with:
"Mr. Sledge, sir, to see Mr. Marley.

The instructions were too late, how

"Good evening." rumbled the deep
roice of Sledge. who just then appear- {
td directly in the center of the opening 1
n the portieres. He wore tin Inverness
iopcoat. the open front of which disposed
a marvelous expanse of white
ibirt front, spaced with diamond 1
ituds, the glitter of which paled, how
;ver, by contrast with the enormous '
solitaire which illuminated the solid
?old watch fob presented to him by '
be Young Men's Marching club of 1
Ward a. His hair was pressed as 1

Italian barber could plaster it. and

with an absolute mare of drawers and i
partitions. In his loft hand ho carried i
u speckless silk lint of tho Intost

a conical parcel, so big that il would <
have staggered a small man. while
from the upper end of the cone pro- |
truded a square yard of screaming red <

"Good evening. Miss Molly," he add- <

It was in tliis breathless crisis that I

A yelp on the front porch announced

Sledge. "I'm sending him right

"Delighted to meet you, Bob," laughid
Molly, stooping down and patting

made a lunge of about four feet
and strained, choking, at the end of
his chain, on his hind feet, with his
tongue hanging out. From the rear of
the lot lie had heard the bark of the
suspicious Smash.
"Where's Mike?" demanded Molly
hastily and in some fear.
Bert (ilider and live of the eight
uouples whom Molly had invited had
already arri ved and were now, of
course, thronged eagerly tn the doorways.
"What's your hurry, Molly?" snickered
loose jointed Dicky Reynolds.
"Hold your caller till I run out and
get Smash Fie knows me."
"Don't you dare!" shrieked Molly,
distrusting him with good reason.
Bob loosened his throat enough to
answer the challenge from the kennel,
and there wasn't a girl left in the
doorways except Jessie I'eters, who
clung to Dicky's sleeve.
"I'll go with you, Dicky," offered circular
little Willie Walters, with an
echo of Dicky's snicker.
"If you do he'll bark at you," hotly
retorted Molly, knowing Wee Willie's
rant ions propensities.
Tlie rest of the boys were for keeping
up the good work, but Sledge cut
short the incipient hysteria by picking
up Hob by the neck, returning to the
loot* ami booming into the night the
silent, potent syllable:
"Mike!"
A squatty man. who looked so much
[ike Hob. even to a patched eye, that
they could have been taken for twins,
jmerged from the darkness, hugged
[Job to his bosom like a brother and
[lurried away.
Kern and Molly looked at each-otbei;
with dismay. If this was the start of
[he evening what else might they expect!
"Why didn't Mike take them both
iway?" whispered Fern. "Yon poor
girl!"
"I'm not!" denied Molly fiercely. "I
3aid this morning that I'd like to see
Bob, and, of course, Mr. Sledge brought

"I get you," he replied. "Mostly dec ''?

Delighted with this unmatchable nov- m

red and white envelopes at the covers te
in the dining room when Bert Glider ar
found her there and closed the door ex
after himself.
"Molly, you're carrying this Sledge hi

"Both of us, I hope,'1 he stated, displaying
a warning signal by pulling at
the top of his collar to give his throat ;
more room. "Molly"? And he advanced
toward her. 01
The symptoms were unmistakable.
Molly, having rounded the end of the It
table, slipped out through the pantry
door and handed her remaining en- ki
velopes to the intellectual looking butler.

rather than to treat this matter either
seriously or flippantly when she was
annoyed with blm.
At 11:30 Mr. Marley, with the worry a*
of eight absent mothers on his own
shoulders, was fretting over some in- '
ventlon to send them home when the e
earth split opeu In the wide stretch of
vacant land across the street and
ejected into the sky, with a loud, un- r
earthly noise, a tremendous assortment _
? IE
of fiery meteors, mostly red. itoman ?
candles lu reckless bunches shot up
from behind every bush, skyrockets
dragged their splraling tails through
all the available clrcumamblence, while
fancy bombs carried their aerial floaters
and other brilliant pyrotechnical
surprises into all the celestial territory
hitherto unoccupied.
Through it all Sledge stood as immovable
and as impassive as if he had a
been glued to the spot and frozen. |
Even when the display flowed out into , 111
the middle of the highway and piled
up the street cars for two blocks In j 01
w
both directions he remained a calm . .
and disinterested spectator. The pres- ; 1 1
ident of the traction company was I
thrown into extreme agitation by this j ( ^
excess of zeal, for he had some con- j 1,1
sideration for the feelings of the pub- j "r
lie, and he rushed right out to restore i ?
the scattered schedule. ,
"Here, what's this?" he demanded of
a demon with a smoke blackened face.
"Why are you holding up the cars?"
"Sledge's orders," replied the demon, i
liehtine the fuse of a red rose set j
piece. "He said everything went, and
It's going."
Mr. Marley came back.
Sledge was no longer on the porch.
Molly had slipped In to wrap up some
cake for Baby Peters, and Sledge, who
seemingly saw nothing, had followed
her.
"Well, Is your party a hit?" he anxiously
Inquired.
"It's a scream!" she said, unable to
control her laughter. "Really, Mr.
Sledge, 1 have you to thank for the
most extravagantly Joyous occasion at
which I have ever had the good fortune
to preside."
"We'll open her another notch next
time," he confidently promised her.
"Molly, marry me."
"Oh, it's impossible!" she blurted.
"Really, I'm sorry, Mr. Sledge. I know
it's my own fault, but I didn't mean It
to go this far. I doi.'t mean that?
that is?well. I dou't know what 1
mean. You've been so good, and I do
appreciate it so. but It is impossible!
I simply couldn't. Don't you see?"
"You'll come around to it."
"I bet I don't!" she blazed.
"Wbat'll yon bet?Smash against
Bob?"
"Anything you like!" she angrily
agreed, furious enough to poison him.
"You're on," he said.
