Webster, : * K Man's Man ? (Continued from preceding page) "Hum-m-m! How long have you tnown him?" "Not very long. "Be sure you're rigtit-r-then go ihead." John Stuart Webster warned ter. "Don't marry tn haste and repent it leisure. Dolores. Know your man before you let him buy the wedding ring. There's a heap of difference, my lear, betwen sentiment and sentlmentrlity " "I'm mire of my man, Caliph." He was silent again, th'nking rapidly. "Well, of course," he began again presently, "while there was the slightest possibility of Bill winning you, 1 would have died before saying that which I am about to say to you now. Dolores, because Bill Is my friend, and I'd never double cross him. With ref erence to this other man, however, I have no such code to consider. I'm pretty well convinced I'm out of the running, but I'll give that lad a race If it's the last act of my life. He's a stranger to me, and he Isn't on the Job to protect his claim, so why shouldn't I stake It If I can? But are you quite certain you aren't making a grave mistake In refusing Billy? He's quite a boy, my dear. I know htm from soul to suspenders, and he'd be awfully good to you. He's kind and gentle and considerate, and he's not a mollycoddle, either." "I can't help It, Caliph. Please don't talk nbout him any more. I know somebody who Is kinder and noblei and gentler." She ceased abruptly, fearful of breaking down her reserve and saying too much. "Well, If Bill's case Is hopeless"? his hand came groping for hers, while he held her with his searching, wistful glance?"I wonder what mine looks like. That Is, Polores, I?I '' "Yes, John?" "I've played fair wllh my friend," he whispered eagerly. "I'm not goi^p to ask you to marry me, but I wHnt to tell you that to n>e you're such a very wonderful woman I can't help loving yuu wun hiy wnuie nenrx hiiii hiiiii. "I have suspected this, John," she replied gravely. "I suppose so. Tm such an obvious old fool. I've hnd my dream, and I've put It behind me, but I?I Just want you to know I love you; so long as I live, I shall want to serve you. When you're married to this other man, and things do not brenk just right for you both?If I hnve something he wants In order to make you happy, I wanl you to know It's yours to give to him. I?I?I?guess that's all, Dolores." "Thank you, John. Would you like to know this man I'm going to marry?" "Yes, I think I'd like to congratulate the scoundrel." "Then I'll Introduce you to him, John. I first met him on a train In Death valley, California. He was a shaggy old dear, all whiskers and rags, hut his whiskers couldn't hide his smile, and his rags couldn't hide his manhood, and when he thrashed a drummer because the man annoys mc.'i jn?t couldn't help falling In love with him. Even when he fibbed to me a?d disputed my assertion that we had met "Good hind of love-?and the calves get loose!" he almost shouted as he held up his one sound arm to her. "My dear, my dear " "Oh. sweetheart." she whispered laying her hot cheek against his, "It's taken you so long to say It, hut I love you all the more for the dear thoughts that made you hesitate." He was silent a few moments, digest Ing his amazement, speechless with th? pfreet happiness that was his?and then Dolores was kissing the hack of the hand of that helpless, bandaged arm lying across his breast. He had a tightening In his throat, for he had not expected love; and that sweet, be nlgnant, humble little kiss spelled adoration and eternal surrender; when she looked at him again the mists of Joy were ip his eyes. "Dear old Caliph John!" ahe crooned. "He's never had a woman tp understand his funny ways and appreciate them and take care of him. has he?" She patted his cheek. "And bless his simple old heart, he would rather give up his love than he false to his friend. Yes, Indeed. Johnny Webster respects 'No Shooting* signs when he sees them, hut he tells fibs and pretends to be very stupid when he really isn't. So you wouldn't be false to Billy?eh, dear? I'm glad to know that, because the man who cannot be false to his friend can never be false to his wife." He crushed her down to him and held her there for a long time. "My dear." he said presently, "Isn't there something you hnve to say to me?" "I love you. John," she whispered, and sealed the sweet confession with a true lover's kiss. "All's well with the world." John Stuart Webster announced when he could use his lips once more for conversation.
