"Iferbert and your friend Henry Rooter came to our house with one of the last copies of the Orl ole they were distributing to subserib ers; and afler I read it I kind of fore saw that the feller responsible for their owning a printing press was going to be in trouble. I had quite a talk with 'em and they hinted they hadn't had much to do with this num ber of the )aper, exce)t the ncehant cal end of it; but they wouldn't come out right full with what they meant. They seemed to have somo good rea son for protecting a third party, and said quite a good deal about their fa thers and mothers being but mortal and so on; so Henry and Herbert thought they oughtn't to eXpOse this third party-whoeve. she was. Well, iij: "Get In," He Said, "i'm -Out Riding I Don't Know When I'll Get Home." I thought they better not stay to. long, because I was compromisci enough already, without being seer in their company, and I gave 'en something to help 'em out with th movies. You can stay at movies at awfu lang time, and if you've goi onyenough togo to several of 'em, why you're fixed for as long as you 'please. A body ought to be able to live a couple o' months at the movieK for nine or ten dollars, I should think.' lIe was silent for a time, then asked: "I don't suppose your papa and mama will be worrying about you, ,will they, Florence?" - "Oh, no I" she said quickly. "Not in the least I There was nothin' at all for me to do at our house this after noon." "That's good," hie said, "because before we go back I was thinking some of driving around by way of Texas." Florence looked at him trustfully and said nothing. It seemed to her that lhe suspected something; she was not sure, but his conversation was a little peculiar-though not in the least sinister. Indeed, she was able to nmke out that he had more the air of an ac complice than of a detective. Never theless she wvas convinced that far, far the best cour'se for her to pursue, dur ing the next fewv days, would be one of steadfast reserve. And such a course w~i congenial to her mood, which was sdbdued, not to say apprehensive; though she was sure that her recent conduct, if viewed sympathetically, wvould be found Christian. The trou bre was. thdt 'probably it would not be viewed sympathetically. No one would understand how carefully and tactfully she had prepared the items of the Oriole to lead suavely up to the newsu of Aunt Julia's engagement and break it to Noble Dill in a manner to save his reason. Therefoee, on ac count of this lack of comprehension, really the only wise and good thing to do was to claim nothing for herself, and allow Herbert and Henry to re main undisturbed In full credit for publishing the Oriole. This involved disappointment, it is true; neverthe Iess she decided to bear it. She had looked forward to surpris. ing "the family" delightfully. As they fluttered in excamation about her, she had expecte to say, "Oh, the poem isn't a inuche guess--I wrote it duitelsf :L*days ao and I'm writ ing fa euple tiew one now--but I did taeq~ie A.19td o :nte sad trouble .wit the rest- of the Paper, because I had to write every single word et it, or els 4 t ea a#4 1(4brt try toA an4 'ourse th a4 ut of ruined fI ht, 1921- by the Bell Sqndicate,Inc.

And while Florence, thus pensively disturbed, sat beside fat Uncle Joseph (luring their long, long drive, rei latives of iers were indeed going into firs; tit least, so Florence would have de serihed their gestures and incoieren. ries of comament. And straight Into such a litir I eene did the luckless Hlerbert walk when driven home, after the mvlovles, by thoughts of food. nI 4boiut six that evening.

"Iliza told mae thils morning we were goin' to have 'em. I kind of hate to go, but I guess I better, Henry." "You won't see any apple dumup lings," Henry predicted. "Well, I beliove I better try it, Henry." "You better come home with me. My father and mother'll be perfectly willing to have you." "I know that," aid Herbert. "But I guess I better go home and try it, anyhow, Henry. I didn't have any thing to do with what's in the Oriole. It's every last word ole Florence's do Ing. I haven't got any more right to be picked on for that than a child." "Yes," Henry admitted. "But If you go and tell 'em so, I bet she'd get even with you soine way that would prob ably get me in trouble; too, before we got through with the job. I wouldn't tell 'emi If I was yen, Herbertt" "Well, I wasn't intending to," Her bert responded gloomily; and the thought of each, unknown to the other, I was the same, consisting of a symbolic I likeness of Wailie Torbin at his I worst. "I ought to tell on'Florence; I by rights I ought," said flerbert; "but t I've decided I won't. There's nb tellin' what she wouldn't do, Not that she could do anything to me, particularly "Nor me, either," his friend Inter posed hurriedly, "I don't worry about anything like that I Still, If I was you I wouldn't tell. She's only a girl, we got to remember." "Yes," saidl Herbert. "That's the way I look at it, Henry; and the way I look at It ia just sImply this: long as she's a girl, wvhy, simply let her go. You can't tell what she'd do, and so what's the use to go and tell on a girl?" "That's the way I look at it," Henry agreed. "What's the use? If I wvas in your place, I'd act just1 the same wa3 you do," "WVell," said Herbert, "I guess I better go on home, Henry. It's a good while after dark." "You're . makin' a big mistake I" Henry IRooter called after him, "You won't see any apple dumplings, I bet a hundred dollars i You better come on home with me." And Herbert no more than half opened his front (door before lie per ceived that his friend's advice had been exellent. So clearly H~erbert perceived this, that lie impulsively de cided not to open the door any far thier, but on the contrary to close it, and retire; and ho would have done so, had not his mother reached forth and detained him. She was, in fact, just inside that door, in the hall with one of his great-aunts, one of his aunts, two auiits-by-nmarrlage, and an elderly unmarried cousin, who wvere all just on the point of leaving. Hoew ever, they changed their minds and decided to remain, new that Herbert was among them. It really seemed that to many per nons who were gathered there, appar ently ia important .consultation, his appearance was distinctly welcome. His owne feelings were In nowise mixed. They were distinctly appre hensive, and the volley of mingled questionings and reproaches which inet him did net tend to remove them. Each member of the phs'ty seemed to feel in soet manner particularly ag 'grieved. _____ (To be continued.) To Cure a Cold In On. Day .
