(, 1910, Wmirrir Niwpipr Union.)
Tho lull good-looking man nt the
'desk brushed his hair Imck from Ills
studious forclionU nnd glnneed tip I in
patiently. "Well Dun," he linked, "what It
this tlmo?"
"Beg pardon sir," Dnn Buld upolo-
gctlcally, "I know you asked not to bo
Interrupted Mr. llniiiinond, hut this
young Indy "
"Young lndy I" tho man ut the desk
exclaimed, his tono expressed exasper
ation. "I asked to ho guarded from
young Jodles, especially."
"I know Mr. Hammond," Dan has.
tencd to say, "and I have guarded you
well, hut It's your fame, I reckon, Mr.
Hammond, that has got here heforo
you, an' you belli' u bach, nnd all."
"Dnn," cried the master of the liouao
fiercely, "will you stop tnlklng nnd
leave me; I was at a most Interesting
point In my .work."
"Hut this Indy," Dan went on un
moved, "Is different from the rest of
'cm, she says she's got to sec you If
only for n minute, an' she's the one j
who moved into the little house next
door."
Chirk Hammond laughed with one
of his sudden changes of humor. "Tho
spinster person," ho said. "I recollect
now that Louisa told me a spinster
had taken the house. Show her In,
Dan, .and let's get It over quickly."
The old serving mnn grinned an he i
shuffled out of tho room whllo tho
"splnlster person" entered In a sort
of soft Httlo rush and sat down In n
big study chair. Professor Clark Ham
mond stared for a moment unbllnklng-
ly, the Intruder wns so different from
what slie expected. She hold a hugo
basket upon her knees as she waited,
almost trepldantly. Tho "spinster per
son" from next door hnd more the ap
pearance of ii small hoy who had been
caught robbing one's orchard, which
vns nearer the truth than the profes
sor knew. She was, In fact, petite
Nan Norrls, lately of tho city.
"Won't you," the professor asked
pleasantly, "allow me to relieve yon
of that great basket."
The young women looked more
startled than ever; then as tho rose
color Hooded her cheeks she spoke
quickly. y
"You are going to be dreadfully
angry with me Professor Hammond,"
she said, "and I owe you an apology.
You see, I did not know that It was
your tree and I stripped It completely."
"I mil afraid," the man said puzzled,
"that 1 do not understand."
"It was," she answered steadily,
"your prized pear tree that I robbed,
tho one with which you have been
making experiments. I thought It was
on our line, we have recently rented
the house next dour and I went out
one evening with some of the school
boys to help me, and we picked nil
your pears."
A light of pleasant reminiscence
enmo to the blue eyes. "It was IV glori
ous mooiiugnt nignt," i lie gin niuieu,
"and the pears were small and sweet
ns sugar "
"When old Mrs. Kyan told me next
day- Mrs. Ryan Is the woman who Is
going lo live with me here -that the
pear tree wns on your property, I
T had given away most of the pears,
sent them to the city I came from, to
people there who do not often have
pears or nice things to eat. and the
rest I canned."
Clark Hammond leaned back la lit
ehalj watching the various emotions
lilt across the girl's sweet face. Ills
own first emotion of chagrin und dis
appointment gave way. suddenly to
sympathetic amusement.
"And now," he asked whimsically,
"what ere you going to do about It?"
"I cannot offer to pay for nil those
pears yet," the young woman nnsvfered
ns she removed the wrappings while
the professor leaned forward Incredu
lously to Inspect the contents of neatly
labeled Jars.
"These are tho spiced pears." the
girl explained. "I hope tbot you will
nccept them."
Sho regarded her offering ruefully.
"They are the very first Unit I over
did up In my life, and they turned out
splendidly." Her eyes were pleading.
"Won't you?" she begged, "just ns a
sort of peace offering?"
There wns something strangely dis
concerting In that blue-eyed repentant
gaze; It was Clark Hammond's turn to
flush, and he emerged from the pro
cedure pleasantly perturbed.
"I'll tell you what," he agreed boy
ishly, "Just bring some ponrs over
whenever I happen to feel that I'd
like them. Dnn will let you know."
The girl laughed. "I am proud of
my own experiment," she said, then
asked hesltntlngly. ''But what of
yours?"
"A small matter." he generously
assured her.
And one late fall evening N'an, enter
ing tho professor's dining room with
her (Ush of pours, found there places
laid for two..
"I hope," O.irk lhiniinnnd said with
now dllllilence, "that you will slay
to spare mo another lonely meal. 1
lave always wondered," ho went on.
ii ihe slipped Into the Opposite chair,
"how !t would seem to have you Ihero,
my wife Mini this tho- home I have
ilre. mod of. Nan. will you stay and
make my dream come true?".
The girl smiled us he enmo toward
her, bul after n while she nil ml ii
tremulous ImiikIiIiix fuee.
"lloine," agreed -Van. '"beneath our
