That’s what I have been thinking.” Lillian considered the matter ju dicially with her pretty chin iu her hand. “I suppose,” she said at lengili. “that we will have to get u arried.” “Well, I should think so.” “We can’t goon this way always— it wouldn’t he proper, and besides—” “Of course we c*an’t.” “But our parents!” ■ “Tot, that's the trouble,” Lillian regarded her companion with some scorn. "I should lhink,being a man, yon could suggest some plan,” she said. Oh,_I can,” said Arthur, redily. I’T had one all thought out. I will ' go away from here and get a place to work somewhere, nod when 1 get a little money saved I will come buck and carry you away.” “And have me leave my mother?” “Why, of coufse.” Lillian regarded her companion now with almost infinate scorn. ithtalneas and interest It it not Bkely that either Judge Berkeley or Mrs. Dodge conld have told the cants Of the difficulty with definiteness, bnt each was determined to preserve tb« family honor at the cost of Whatever might be.

It was pat into execution almost at once. Arthur waited until after dinner, and then he sought an interview with his father in the library.

Ihirkely, in de- rcribing to Lillian his father’s attl- uideafler llie amiouncenient of Mr- Dodge’s commands to her daughter, said that (be Ju.lire “got up on hi.- hind legs at once.” Some such graphic expression is needed in treating of Mrs. Dodge at this point in the cuterview. She felt that she hud been insult ed; that the Whole lino of Dodges hail away back to a prehistoric ancestor laren insulted, and that her own family line had been dragged in the dust as well. Shehadbeen injured before. T. that injury had now been added in sult. But she would see. Heaven might witness that she loathed the thought of an alliance with the Berkeleys, bnt refusal of snch an alliance, if re fusal there were, should come from her side. Judge Berkely should not interfere with her daughter’s hap piness. That Was one thing cer tain. Later in the evening Judge Berke ly arrived. He took off his overcoat iu the hallway and came in bringing his gold-headed cane and his tall hat and looking very grand and very de termined. Mrs. Dodge received him with old- time politeness' She was equally de termined. A determined and hostile man and »determined and hostile woman, both being advanced iu years, make a bad combination, It is worse when, as in this Instance, both are compelled by breeding and instinct to preserve a certain external polite ness, It lasts longer, and there are fewer opportunities to let off steam The widow and the Judge got hopelessly entangled m their discos skm*. Both had expected in the other an attitude that was uot now uppermost, if present at all. > When the Judge came away the only distinct impression that he hod iu mind was tbst he bad in some way ocheived the puriKisc of his mission. He thought that he ought to fell tciumph«at» but he did uot fell so. Sin. Dodge had a more definite idea of the interview and It w more nearly satisfactory to her. Judgw-Bcyk/elyhad certainly, asked for ha daughter for his son. That Wu» satisfactory. But before he ask ed she bad committed herself in * a way that left h#r nojdqergative and tho had-consented. - The next morning Arthur and Lillian bud a ratification meeting is the garden. The widow Dodge saw them from her window and thought the wonld pnt iis good a face on the matter as possible and give them her blessing. She went down her gravel walk to ward thu garden. The Judge saw them from bis window and wanted, despite himself to meet his future daiignfer-in-law. He walked down his gravel walk to ward the garden. The gate had long been fastened with wire tiud bolts. The Judge could not climb the fence. He nn did the gate. wise. Ilian was gathering a basketful of flowers down in the garden be- leaned over the fence. * “lav 1 avwovSrr* he asked. . lian nodded encouragingly,' over .to visit Mrs. riiid. ■ ‘ Arthur cleared the fence at a bound, and then eat down on the long garden bench, locking rather Atore sober than usual. lillian cams and. smoothed away a frown from his .*brtw with hrr sty fingers. “WhatTs it, Author? thejasked |e| Lillian was all sympathy in a mo- fittat “Poor dear, did it hurt you,” she W Artiw ptri his bands In his pock ets aad stood up. ■ “Will tob try and be serious a lit- Me, Mil,” be said. . “&i you oan hs cram to me, I rajH “ bjt I waat to talk to you ss- !

T haven’t dark ened those doors since long before old Silos Dodge died, but I'll go now and I’ll make her own that my son is good enough and rich enough and well-born enough to marry her daughter or any woman’s daughter.” Arthur escaped and left the old man alone with bis wrath. The Judge arrayed himself in hi« best attira, pnt on his newest gloves, and took iu bis band a gold cane, which he carried and whicli was pre sented to him by the bar at tbe time of his retirement from the bench. Meanwhile another scene had been enacted in the Dodge mansion. When Mrs. Dodge returned from her drive she found a very tearful Lillian stretched out in utter desola tion <m the couch in the sitting room. Being mnoh urged, and after con siderable hesitation, the ttartal fig ure on the couch consented to tell the reason of the woe that possesed her. She confessed that she hod become acquainted with a yonng man with- out her mother's knowledge. She knew she had done wrong, but that wasn’t tbe trouble. The you ng man had sold be loved her. and now she would never see him any more, ’ith this doleful peroration sne Sept afresh. • “VtoLwii the voting JAMS” de- ’*’Ills.
