THE ALLIANCE HERALD. TUESDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1021. The (MM By BOOTH TARKINGTON Illustrations bf Irwin Myers TtMMU ' A little nfter six o'clock a clanplni nd commotion In the train-shed out Ide. attending the arrival of . a HirwiRh express," stirred him from til torpor. He walked heavily acrosa h. room to the aame ticket-window tie had Mocked before, but there was no queue attached to It now: He rented his elbow on the apron and hie htn upon hta hand, and for some mo ments the clerk waited until he should State hl wishes. This was a new eJerk, who had just relieved the other. Weill Well r he snld at last. T11 take It now,1 Noble responded, gtntly. Whnt'll you take nowl" ( . "That ticket 1" ' What ticket I" The same one I wanted before," tfoble sighed. " The clerk gave him a piercing look, (lanced out of the window and saw that there were no other clients, then went to desk at the farther end of i kit compartment, and took . up, tome Clerical work he had In hand. Noble leaned upon the apron of the -Window, waiting; and If be thought anything, he thought the man was . . Mtvlng hlra. ' The high, resonant room became Clamorous with voices and WtUh the mingling echoes of footsteps on the , tiled floor, as passengers from the ex press hurried to the street, or more gaily straggled through, shouting to friends who came to greet them; and mom these moving groups . there talked a youthful fine lady noticeably enlivening to the dullest eye. She was preceded by a "brisk porter who car rted two traveling bags of a rich sort. i well as a sack of Implements for the game of golf; and she was warm to dark furs, against which the vnsty clump of violets she wore showed Oewy gleamlngs - of blue. At sight of Noble DHL more than pensive at the ticket-window, she host tated, then stopped and observed him, - Here was a coincidence, In a mild way, for, as It happened, she was her- elf the most observed person In all that place. She was veiled in two veils, but she had been seen In the train without these, and some of her fellow-travelers, though strangers to xher, were walking near her In a hypo critical way, hoping still not to loso tight of her. cfcn veiled. And. although the shroudings permitted the. most meager Information of her features, what they did reveal was harmfully piquant; moreover, there. was a sweet nets to the figure, a disturbing grace; d nothing disguises such an air of wearing that mnny violets as a dally perquisite and matter of course. It was Julia's fortune (though her father had other Ideas concerning the matter) to be the possessor of a per . . tonality distinctly pleasing to the masculine eye, nnd of this the fulr Julia was probably aware. In any event she was quite conscious of the stir which her passage through the throng created. So the coincidence came about that mis observed lady stopped aud ob- "Nobis 1" Sha Said. jenred Noble, who In return observed her not at all, being but semiconscious. "Noble!" she said. He stared ct ber. Ills elbow sagged away from the window; tie whole person of Noble Dill seemej near col lapse. He shook, and bad no voice. "I just this minute got oft the train," Julia said. "Are you, going away somewhere?" "No." be whispered; then obtained command. X . huHner somewhat Pi fill ItiFj greater In volume. Tin Just smnumf here."

"You looked you looked shocked 1 It couldn't have been because I looked 111 or anything, because I'm not ; and If I were, you couldn't have told It, through two veils. Possibly I'd better take your expression as a compliment" She paused, then asked hesitatingly, "Shall This was the style the Atwaters held Julia responsible for; but they were mistaken: she was unable to con trol It. She at once went cheerily on : "Perhaps not, as you don't answer. I shouldn't be. so bold I Do you sup pose any body 'I I be glad to see me?" "I I" He seemed to hope that words wonld come, all In their own good time. . "Noblel" ahe cried.

"Nooh. no." . ... . "It Isn't just my turning up un expectedly that's upset yon so, of course," she dared to say. -Naturally. know better than to think such thing as that "Oh.

I "How odd you hapened to be there ah the station," she snld; "Just when my train came In! You're sure you weren't going away anywheref "No; oh. no." She wns thoughtful, then laughed confident iolly. .-"You're ' the only per son In town tunt knows I'm homo, Noble." " "I'm glad," he snld, humbly. She lunched again. "I enme all of u sudden on nn Impulse. It's a little Idiotic. I'll teJI you about It, Noble. You see, ten or twelve days ago 1 wrote the family a more or less Indis creet letter. That Is, I told them something I wanted them to ke dis creet about, nnd, of course, when I got to 'thinking It over, I knew they wouldn't. You see.

And as he did not respond, she ex plained, modestly, "Of course, It wasn't a very deadly secret ; It wns really i.l.out something of only the least Importance." This wns so frightful . an under statement thnt the Jur of It restored Noble's voice to a startling loudness.. "Only the lenst Importance!" be shouted. "With a man named Crura!" "What!" sle cried.
