Of course Bertha was sweet to him —she was sweet te all the boys—and of course she went riding with him occasionally In his rather undent road* ster and accepted his flowers and candy and laughed pleasantly but without conviction when bo told her that the sun rose and act In her eyes and that without her Ufa far him would be a dreary waste Indeed. So Owen's hopes did not increaae though be doggedly continued -hla tolrtflhlp. He cobtda’t quit now while there waa the slightest chance. He waa too deeply In love.

It was hard for Owen at first to stay sway from Bertha. All the day and night he found himself longing to see her again. But he resolutely cut hlnixelf off from all communication with her. And he resolutely set him self to the task of finding a nice sen sible girl whom he could calmly court and then marry. ' * * He found a nice, pretty, sensible girl at last. She was Laura Pohler, a stenographer In the office where Owen was employed. And slowly and care fully he began to make friends with her. . Laura welcomed Owen’s advances gratefully; she waa as bereft of suit ors as Bertha was overburdened with thedi. Together they went to the “movies,” to dances and for rldeujn Owen’s ancient roadster. ► Always In hla Intercourse with Laura, Owen waa practldli, calm—' almost cool. “This la the beat plan," be tqld him self.
