Kitty Sanders kept the bellboy waiting a full four minutes while she deliberated over the hastily written note which he had brought her. ' Considering the heat of the stuffy | little hotel bedroom, the invitation j it contained was doubly alluring, j "Don't you want a breath of counjt airr" it read. "1 know where wi I can got lots of it and a good countn I dinner, too. l'lease come, won't you Yours most hopefully, Jimmie I)ulin." The bellbov was moving about unj easily. lie had been standing al least five minutes now. and it seemed to him that the pretty young gir! with the very black hair and the very blue eyes was slow of decision. Suddenly, however, she spoke. "You can tell Mr. Dulin that I'll be down in the hotel office in a quarter of an hour," she said, and then she fairly shoved the small messenger out of the room for fear that she would change her mind. For she couldn't help owning that what she was about to do was a rather unconventional thing, this going for a jaunt into the country with a man to whom she had never been formally introduced. And the fact that she had been in vaudeville for some four years and had never before dreamed of accepting an invitation from a traveling man she did not know did not make it any the easier. She argued with herself all the time that she was arranging her hair and hat. It was different this time. Jimmie Dulin had been "making" the same tow with her for over six months now. Again and again she had seen him on the streets run across him in hotel offices. In fact, she had even picked him out in various audiences when the theater was sufficiently empty to allow of easy recognition of friends. He was standing by the desk waiting for her and he held out tit hand in cordial greeting. "I'm awfully glad that you'd come," he said. "I thought at luncheon you looked as though a taste of the country would agree with you mightily. Hut it took me some hours to get my nerve to the asking point." Kitty laughed happily, and returned his confidence promptly. "Same here, Mr. Dulin. It took ! me some minutes to set my nerves to the accepting point. But I was <o dreadfully lonesome that my i scruples just seemed to vanish away." Jimmie Dulin nodded understandingly. "I know how you feel, and lonesomeness isn't any fun. The queer part of it is that you don't get over it with the years. How long have you been trouping it?" he asked. "About four years. I went into the work because singing and dancing were the easiest things that I did, and I have stayed in it because they are the only things that I can make any money at. Of course, It's, worse some times than others. Often I have friends playing on the same bill with me, or, again, there are nice people with whom I get acquainted. For the last four weeks, though, it'? been just dreadful. They talked on, one subject leading naturally enough to another. Jimmie Dulin seemed in a most confidential frame of mind, and Kitty was an absorbed listener. "You know I am not going to keep at this sort of wandering much longer. At the end of this year I'm through with it all, and it's the quiet business life in some small town for i me." "What are you going to do?" They had come to a small cottage now. It was all white and green and i stood back from the walk. "Why, I am going to build some j ' such place as this and run a retail | store in some such town as this." He stopped short. "This is where we are going to get. that home-cooked country dinner I promised you. A distant relative of mine li\*es here i and her home is always open to me j ^ and my friends whenever I am in this town." ( The woman that answered the 1 doorbell had such a merry pair of ' eyes and such an all-embracing smile of welcome that Kitty felt at homo 1 at once. "You folks are a little early for 1 that fried chicken you smell," she ' laughed. "But just make yourselves 1 comfortable out on that side porch i till the gravy gets mixed and the cof- ' fee boils." ' \ At dinner it was the aunt who wa* the mirth of the occasion. She waa a woman long past fifty, but her laughter waa as contagioua aa that of a girl's and the reminiscences she told of Jimmie's boyhood madej Kitty feel as though she were already ! an old-time f~'?nd. "It's awf .11 lucky that I don't have the cl m< 2 to eat like this every day," s .id Kitty as she finished the last of her cherry pie and shook her head reluctantly over the impossibility of devouring the other piece still on the plate. "I would have to give up singing and dancing for a; living." Afterward Kitty insisted on helping with the dishes, and as Jimmie announced that he was going to be her aide partner, the aunt was forced to retire to the porch. "My, but you sure do look a picture in that pink apron," Jimmie exclaimed ardently. He was plainly too absorbed in Kitty to be of much practical help to her. "Is it more becoming than my dancing dress?" she asked. "A thousand times so! Why I could iust?" But what he could have done waa never told. A crash of a huge platter interrupted. Kitty had dropped the dish she had in her hands, and chicken and gravy and potatoes all fell on the immaculately scrubbed floor, a broken platter on top of them. 'Say?don't you worry over all that," Jimmie said for the hundredth time. The damage had been repaired to the best of their ability, and they were watching the sun go down over the wide stretch of hills at the side of the house. "But I am going to send your aunt another platter. I have taken a piece with me and I am going to i ? i - :e i ?. nave one inane n 1 uaiuiui ^ci similar one." "Now, don't be silly," protested Jimruie, vigorously. "But I am." "Now. listen to me," Jimmie made a desperate effort at quietness of manner. "You see, it doesn't make as much difference as you think. This house is mine and not my aunt's, and even-thing that's in it belongs to me." "Your house?" Kitty's question was almost a gasp. ".Sure it's mine. So you have nothing ai all to worry you, and I, hardly think that it's up to you to refurnish my establishment even 11 a trilling accident did happen when I had invited you to dinner." "But I don't understand how it's all yours and furnished so beautifully." "Do you think it is beautiful?" he asked her eagerly. "Yes, of course it's very beautiful and lovely?but I just don't understand," she repeated. His face grew serious. "Well, you see," he said slowly. "I was to h$ve been married a year ago this time. I had the house all ready and everything in apple-pie order. Then the verv dav before the wed ding the girl came down with fever ?over-exhaustion and strain?and she died in a few days. The house has never been used, and as it seemed too bad to have it gf&nd idle I told my aunt to come here and use it till I wanted it again. Now, since I have seen?" But he was interrupted a second , time. His aunt had joined them on < the porch. < "Now you are both of you to come J back here tomorrow evening for dinner at the same time," she said, in ' a tone that admitted of no disputing, j "For I am going to be very hurt if ( Jitumie doesn't give me more of his , time the rest of the week, and I j know Miss Sanders will bring him . here if he won't come of his own 1 accord." ' Jiminie turned to Kitty. "Will . you come tomorrow?" "Yes, I'd love to," she responded | promptly. ] "Tomorrow at five, then." ( "We'll be here on the dot of the i hour," laughed Jimmie happily, and ' Kitty nodded her assent as they ran 1 down the broad cottage steps and started to take the road which led ] back to town. j "She's a dear girl," said the aunt ( to herself, as she stood watching the . two disappear around the turn in the road a half-mile beyond. Her ?yes had a smile of understanding in i them. "Jimmie deserves to be happy, c after all his disappointments, and I i hope he gets her and brings here 5 here right soon."
