No one ever hinted that the object of
their visit mat at fault—not at all. She
*ea admittedly the prettleat girl In
town, and the most popular. The amaz
ing thing about It was that she didn’t
drop away and lose her buoyancy un
der the rigid blockade her grim aunt
seemed to have established against all
mankind.
At church, at social gatherings, and
on the streets her blue eyes sparkled
with good nature and seemed to Invite
confidence.
One night when the subject of Aunt
Naomi's reprehensible conduct was be
ing quietly discussed by several young
men In the Prairie Valley club room,
Robert Compton, a newcomer, who
was assistant superintendent of the
local electrical machine works, cas
ually remarked that he bad been in
troduced ta Iflaa Martha that day. and
'had been vsry coartsvualy iavitad ta
rail.

The seat day heslnasa called Coaap-

was detained a couple af weeks. Not
long after he returned ha called at
thp Trueman home, and was led In by
a most Indignant maiden. He saw the
time of day and started to back out.
“Come In; I’vft/ something to tell
you,’’ said Mt^s Martha, In a voice
indicating a strong effort at control.
“While you were away Aunt Naomi
was grossly Insulted by four of your
friends,” exclaimed Miss Martha.
Compton started and then looked at
her In amazement.
“They surely didn't—”
“But they did,” she said, impetuous
ly. “They came out here to see us,
and when Aunt Naomi was good
enough to Invite them to play checkers
with her they declined—positively de
clined P *

“That’s goad of yon. Robert." whla-
pared Martha, fluttering the white flag
of surrender, “but the truth la, Aunt
'Naomi don’t care much for checker*,
and It was only at my urgenca she
agreed to play with them when they
made me tired.”
“Then you’re the—ah—the *
stammering over the astounding dis
closure.
“The sinner,” she said, demurely.
^ “Well, I never 1” Then remember
ing something, he added, distrustfully:
“She wanted me to play tha first
night.”
She shrived him with a pair of
warm, tremulous lips.
“It was all a mistake, Robert.** she
said; “when they weary me I cough
and auntla gets out her checker-board.

“Oh. thafa all right “ she said; “I
enjoyed your talk better, anyway.”
They accompanied him to the door
and Martha’s bright eyes warmly sec
onded her aunt’s invitation to repeat
the visit.
■“Well, Miss Martha met him with
smiles at the door,” remarked McPher
son dreamily, when Compton Joined
them In the cozy corner of the club
room, next evening.
“And she ushered him Into the lit
tle parlor, where Aunt Naomi received
him like a captain of the old guard,”
added Harry Guthrie, reminiscently.
“You’ve guessed right,” returned
Compton, smiling.

chat,” McPherson said, “and Jpst as
