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.
