HOWARD (Copyright, 1920, Wcittrn Ncwipaper Union) Archibald Christopher Van Dyne sat In church, n pious calm on his countenance and tlio tall of his eye directed toward his llancee, Miss Ara bella Whitney, who sat beside him. He was trying to remember If there had ever been a time when he hnd i not been engaged to Arabella, ho was wondering why they were engaged, nnd he was predicting savagely thnt they should never marry. Just because their fathers had been partners and lifelong friends, Arabella, when n spotted red Infant, had been Jestingly betrothed to the llvo-yenr-old Archibald, nnd as tho children grew older tlio Jest hnd gradually become serious, and the two families hnd al ways assumed that the nmrrlnge would take plnce as soon as Arabella was old enough nnd Archie was through sow ing his wild oats. Archie's wild oats wero of the mild est kind, lie neither smoked nor drank, ho worked faithfully at his Job, nnd was In the house every night nt ten-thirty. That Sunday Archibald wore a flam ing tie which Indicated accurately the chaotic state of his mornl being, for ho felt within himself the flowering of a mighty love, nnd Belln was not (Copyrlsbt. 1910.

IAunt Clurlndn had been a resident of Cold Harbor before Its salubrious nnd picturesque environment had be come popular. Her modest Mttlo homo was quite outside of tho magic resi dential and hotel quarter. Ora had dreamed dellclously nnd saved frugally. It was on her seven teenth birthday that Aunt Clnrlnda had written to Mrs. Merton: "Let tho child come. I have made her a bath ing suit and she can put In tho whole month If you call spore her that long." There was u full fortnight for Orn to make her preparations.

So, for the first tlmo in his life, Ar chie regarded tho blonde Miss Whit ney with aversion, und when the ser mon began his thoughts drifted away, not to Arabella, but to Leonn Lepoge. Lconn, the star of the Dixie Stock company, had floated, a vision In pink tarlatan, onto tho stage of Morgan's Lyric thenter, one night of tho previ ous week, nnd standing there on one toe, with the other pointed graceful ly skyward, she hnd kicked herself Into the heart of the callow Archlbnld. Hence the resplendent tie nnd the depressed countenance beside Ara bella. After church Archie strayed down to the Travelers' house, where Leonn wns staying, nnd settled himself In the corridor, hoping to cntch n glimpse of his adored. Nor was ho disappointed, for soon there wns a swish of skirts on the stair, the tap of heels on the stone floor, nnd Leonn, decked for con quest, swept Into the room. Perhaps she hnd noticed tho mild- eyed youth who nttended every per forninnce at Morgan's, or perhaps the appealing look of adoration now cast townrd her moved her easy heart, for after passing Archlbnld she paused, turned, and came toward him. "Pardon me," she murmured, llxlng her large eyes on Archibald from bd nenth the shades of her enormous hat, but have you seen Gyp, my dogl He ran away, and I am sure he came this way," Leonn looked up nnd down the cor rldor, but Archie looked only nt Leonn "Yes," he answered, with the bold ness born of love, "I am sure he went this way. Suppose we go and look for him." Marveling at his own temerity, he set forth from tho hotel with Miss Lepage on his nnn, nnd with shaking legs started down the street In nerv ous' pursuit of the lost dog. "Where shnll we go?" cried Leonn In maidenly helplessness. "Which way did you see him go?" Archie reddened; ho wns a very truthful youth, nnd mendacity did not come easy to him. Ho tried frantically to think of some plnce wiiero a runaway uog would be likely to go. Lconn, however, snved him further embarrassment by pnuslng In front of j ono of the larger restaurants, nnd'ro- mnrklng, as sho eyed the viands In the window : "Don't you think ho went In here?" "No," nnswered Archie emphatical ly. Still, Leonn held her ground. "I'm sure ho did," she said. Then Archie perceived tho drift of her remark. "Of course he did," he cried, with enthusiasm, and, blushing a beauti ful pink at his stupidity, he led Leona proudly in, even gaining the courage to order "hot dog" from the astonished waiter. From that day on Archibald lived as one In n drenm. Though he paid nn occaslonnl per functory visit to Arabella to keep the pence with his family, his real life passed In n roseate world Inhabited only by himself and Leonn Lcpnge. In tho daytime ho haunted her hotel and night found him an enthralled spec tator In the front row of the Lyric. His mother, finding the florist's bill In his room, nnd marveling nt Its size, re marked that Arabella hnd better be gin her troussenu; but she suspected nothing, though Archie nenrly gnvo himself nwny nt times. In fiplte of other mishaps. Archie' romance progressed. Leonn wns grn clousness Itself, nnd only ono cloud dnrkencd his heaven. In Mlchncl O'Duffy, lending mnn of the stock compnny, Archie feared rival. Miss Lepngo and O'DufTy had been friends for n long time; In fact, Leonn once confessed to Archie that she felt like n sister townrd Michael After thnt, Archie writhed Inwnrd ly whenever he sow tho two together on the stnge, nnd ho developed a mor bid hnhlt of comparing himself, tc his disadvantage, nth the leiidlnj have u brother In trouble. He can not pay his bills and If I do not get cash quickly he will be sold out I will show you what I have to sacrifice." Ora's eyes glowed as the mnn slipped a strap and sprend out tho gorgeous, tempting contents of the pack. It was a'n extraordinary dis play. It wns no notion counter lay out, but two perfect ladles suits, hats, gloves and senrfs. "I'm going to tell you tho truth, lndy," spoke the peddler. "These goods nro not new, nlthough they wero never worn. Here Is the truth about them. They belonged to a lending nctress. Her company got on the rocks nnd the Inw seized her belong ings. I bought them cheap. "I'm go ing to give you n bargain. Take your pick of ono layout for twenty-five dol- Inrs." Orn was so excited nt this offer Unit she could hardly spenk. Trembling, she looked over the articles In the pack, selected a complete outfit, pnld tho man his price nnd every time nf ter that when she thought of the won derful investment she had made she experienced a thrill of pride nnd pleasure. Ora got to her aunt's, a happy, hope ful girl. Two mornings Inter sho nr rnyed herself In her best. The dress, of u pcculnr purplish tint, the neat, but expensive looking hat, the light, fleecy shoulder senrf, her mirror told her, presented nn elegnnco nnd tnstl- ness which became her grandly, Sho wns conscious thnt she wns admired as she strolled down the bench. She snt down upon nn upturned boat and reveled In n reverie of perfect con tentment nnd peace. "Why, Mubcll got here nil right, did you?" nnd n shadow made Ora start. Then the speaker leaned over, kissed her squarely upon the Hps find then drew back, brenthless. "The mischief! the dress deceived me dear young lady," continued tho intruder, young, hnndsome, but pal pably embarrassed, but Ora sprung to her feet with flashing eyes. "How dure you!" she cried, nnd hurried nwny, tho tears filling her eys from sheer vexntlon. Tlio young mnn nttempted to overtnke her, plead ing, expostulntlng Incoherently, but Ora fairly ran nnd gnlned her aunt'a homo overcome with tlio Insolence of a perfect stranger. She did not venturo to the beach for two d-iys ufter thnt. Then sho went to the bonrd walk, whero sho could seek protection, If ngaln affronted, when n man In seml-unlfonn ap proached her. "You will pardon me, miss," he said, "but you will havo to accompany mo to the police station. A lndy Just pointed you out ns wearing somo at tire stolen from her trunk n week ngo. Tho dress, particularly, which Is pre cisely like tho ono sho now wears, gives color to her claim." Ora stood nghnst She felt ns if she would, faint on tlio spot Just then a handsome lady nbout her own size nppronched. "Officer," sho snld, "I positively Identify those articles as those stolen from me," nnd was Joined by n young man who looked nt Ora and spoke suddenly. "Sister, this Is somo great mistake I Tills Is tho young lady I told you about, whom I greeted as yourself. Look, sho Is terribly distressed. Offi cer, allow us to speak with the young lady apart," und ho took the nrm of the wavering and overcome Orn nnd led her to n bench. It did not toko long for light to shine on darkness. Orn told her simple, truthful story. Miss Edna Danvers wns full of rogret, and her brother woro the upologetlc fnce of n mnn cngcr to ntono for his especial error. They Insisted on Ora coming to their hotel, nnd tho full reparation of sincere regret nnd kindly Interest told how they believed In their Inno cence. "The first kiss I stole" observed Ronald Dnnvers, n week Inter to Ora. "The second ono I nsk you to award me becauso I lovo you," nnd Ora was willing.
