Beverly had seen her lu a faded gown

"I l.ojr pardon.” Beverly said, "but

Clarice looked at him gravely.
"It’s siot for Kale." she said, "and 1

Then she blush«*d Jvotly.

"You are not speaking to n stranger.”
Beverly told her. “Just think for a mo

"She says you can’t see li," she said
mournfully.
“Oh. can’t 1?" Beverly’s tone was
stubfcgni. "Well. I shrill sto It—and
you—as often ns I with.”
Clarice shook her head. “Yon don’t
know Aunt Matilda," she said hope-
Icrsly.
“I know- her kind,” Beverly stated
“I used, to read about dragons an I

simply be bringing It up to date. And,
w’lfte I’m not surc.tlmt I will fulfill nil

Clarice gave him a flushing glance.
•‘*di. I’m sure"— she began, nnd then
the smile, froze as a voice came from
above.
"(’Iniice, Clarice." It said, "coma up
at once.”
; Sfs Aunt MatHdn.” Clarice said In
a fright'-ned tone and vanished.
Beverly bore himself Jauntily as he
went down life walk. What was a mere
r.unt to stand In the way of his inten-
tlnus? He was thlrfy-two, rich, nnd he
had waited all these years to And the
IdoA 1 woman. And hen* In this
town where he hnd come to rest and to
flsh he had discovered her. nnd ho
should marrv^hcr lu spite of any old
aunt dragon. .,
Bnt as the days went on he <Jumyl
lint It was nof an easy tiling to con
quer Aunt Matilda. In the first place,
he could not meet her. Fhe was as in-
"Islblc ns a witch, and, except for her
voice calling Clarice from behind the
window curtain whenever Beverly
slopped fit the gate, there was no tau-
tole evidence that she existed at nil.
"You see,’It dims n't do a I fit of good
for you to keep coming,”. Clarice told
hint desperately one morning when she
.ct biiu on the way to the postofliee.
•Mie always tails nu? away, and then
she scolds nud scolds. She says I
haven't any pride.” And her lips quiv
ered.
"If I dared ask you to meet mo
somewhere," Beverly said, "but of
course it wouldn’t do.”
."No.” Chirico said, "I couldn't do

crazier and -crazier Over he"" ■ T! china

enough to be comfortable—we haven't
always enough lo.'eat”
"Olt. hy Jove.'" Beverly said. "I-
ciTj’t have her starving you, you
know.”
Clarice grexr a little pale.
"I shouldn't unve told you.” she said,
"hut I have thought of a way for you
to Vlp"—
"I am alwnys at your service,” said
Beverly gravely.
"Oh!" She looked up quickly. "I
on It.
'•Come to the hack door while I ntU

~Arnt '.tatltda Is always asleep then,"
Clarice getting breakfast wap Won

r.nron. and her sleeves were rolled back
from her white arras. Sb«dwas stirring
the breakfast porridge as Beverly

"but wt* haven’t any cream.”
—V-t-na—wait," Beverly told her and

ently he was back with a basket of
strawberries^ the cream and some rolls.
Clarice protested.
"Oh, you shouldn't"'—
Beverly took both of heir hands in
his.
<. "Dear C'.llJ.” he said, “surely you
wj!l let me do sueh a little thitig."
The blue bowl was, even to Bever
ly’s untralued eye, nythlng of beauty.
He hiKif-ied that (jnat^ce should let
him pay the full #|o>. but she would
not, and nt last l.e made out n check
for $K>i and banded it to.her across
the table, and Just nt that moment a
sepulchral voice came from the door*,
way.
"Clarice. wba.t are you doing with
ray blue bowl?"
And there flood Aunt Matilda, look
ing as witchlike ns possible In Jier
black divrisiug gown, with her gray
hair fulling about her shoulder*.
ClarU-e shrunk back. “Oh." she said,
"1 ttiougfit yon were asleep!"
The old woman took a step forward.
"I waked early." she said, "and went
to look nt inyjL’hiugu Something warn

"But It Ik not your blue l>owl.” Bev
erly Informed her. "Clarice hay told

w as left to* her w ith other pieces,* and
flow she has sold It to me.”
"Whet?" Abut Mattltta shrieked.
