“Well, you’re still on the horse,”
came the reply.

C'DITH JAFFREYS had two admir-
L* ers who counted—William Lester
and George Calton. As a rule. Lester
was away ahead of Calton in the race,
hut just now a quarrel with William
had brought George within measure-
able distance of the winning post.
The quarrel was about—well, sev
eral things; one thing leading to an
other, as they will when two positive
characters gef to arguing—smoking
by women, bobbed hair, "ships and
shoos and sealing wax and cabbages
and kings.”
7 he first time Edith had refused
George ('niton, George felt that life
had turned to dust and ashes. Each
subsequent refusal left him less and
less afflicted. Edith had become
merely a habit with him. hut she had
so long been the object of his dreams
that he thought site was so still and
made love to her automatically.
The evening after Edith’s great flare-
up with William, George made his
semi-annual proposal. This time it
went, "Edith, when are you going to
throw over Bill Lester and marry me?”
“Mr. Lester and I, with my consent,
will never meet again.” she answered.
“And. George, I will marry you at anv
time.”
George was amazed at Ills own sen
sations. He knew that he ought to he
deliriously joyful; hut subconsciously
he had a feeling of dismay.
The answer flashed across him sud
denly. Helen Marlowe! Yes, hang
it! he was in love with Helen Mar
lowe and engaged to Edith Jaffreys,
George groaned as deeply on this, the j
first night that Edith had accepted
him, as he had on the first night she
had rejected him.
Edith, after George had gone, at
first fairly gloated over the hopeless
agony that William Lester would suf
fer when he learned of her new. en
gagement. Then she began to be sorry
for him. and by the time she turned
off the light and got into bed sjie was
crying. Next morning she thought:
“If William will only apologize for
his outrageous conduct perhaps I
might—hut I'm engaged to George!”
She was moody and irritable all day,
revolving Impossible schemes to ex
tricate herself.
George had proposed and been ac
cepted bn Wednesday. Thursday he
did not show up. Friday afternoon
Edith packed her bag. She had a
great aunt living out cm Long Island.
Meantime George had been going
through the same mental processes as
Edith. “I shall go crazy if I think
of this much longer.” thought he. “I
can’t face this girl! .I'll disappear for
awhile: that’s what i'll do. Something
may turn tip in the meantime.’’
He packed his hag and bought a
ticket for* Champville, Long Island.
It was a small town. lie had never
been there; hut he had heard it had a
good hotel whieli was open the year
round. ,At this season the hotel would
not be likely to have many guests and
there was no chance of encountering
anyone he knew.
Five people got off the train at 1
ChamiiviHe. Three of them hurried
through the little station to waiting
automobiles.- Two stood on the plat
form and stared at each other in con
sternation. The two were George and
Edith. /
“Why George!”
“Why Edith!”
Silence for a minute and then:
“Were you going somewhere?” from
George.
“Oh, no,” said Edith, "were you?”
“Of course not,” replied George, try
ing to assume a look of childlike inno
cence.
Just then an automobile came rush
ing up to the station on the further
side and two familiar voices were
heard in the waiting room.
“1 knew we should not get here by
the time the train did,” said the voice
of Helen Marlowe.
“What’s the difference?" replied the
voice of William Lester; and then he
and Helen saw George and Edith
standing there staring at each other.
With a joyful cry Helen rushed out.
William followed more cautiously, as
not entirely sure of his reception.
“Then you got Jack Huntington’s wire
all right?” cried Helen. “You see. in
making up his house party, he quite
forgot to send you invitations. But
as soon as William and 1 arrived, he
wired at once. Rut gracious! how
did you make the train? He only
wired Half an hour ago. Edith where
are your trunks? Gone astray? Phone
at once and find out about them.
But first. William, you drive Edith
over to Soundedge in the two-seater
and send back a car for George and
me. George is going to get a wigging
In the meantime. He has avoided me
for two days."
Edith had never been so glad to see
anybody in the world as she was to
see William, They made it all up on
the ride to Soundedge. Before she
got into the car she said: “Remember
what T said to you Wednesday night?
Of course, you understand I was only
Joking?”
“Ob. perfectly,” replied William
with beaming face.
