“No,’’ said Miss Southnell, pulling
with unnecessary force a petal from
the rose she held, “there is no such
thing as Platonic friendship!”
“Pardon me for the contradiction,
and with all due respect to your
opinion, still 1 am sure it has existed—
and does exist to-day—between man
and woman," persisted he in the golf
suit.
“But I have no proof of it, save your
word; and I have never seen it dem
onstrated. Invariably the ending of
so-called ‘Platonic friendship’ is in the
merry chimes of wedding bells,”
laughed Miss Southnell.
“Stuff and rubbish!” The young
man did not express himself audibly
In these words, but ho thought it with
great emphasis. Aloud ho said:
“Do you mean to tell me you really
believe that a woman and a man can’t
continue on terms of friendly equality
without coming out at the finish in
1hat homely old way? If. as you say,
it usually ends by falling in love, it is
my opinion that the woman is the first
to discover that she lias been the one
to nurse the flame.”
“But women never propose!” Miss
Southneli's dark eyes flashed mean
ingly, and a row of pearly teeth set
themselves with cruel force into the
soft, red lip beneath.
“Positively you frighten me. Miss
Southnell. Dismiss that tragic air and
let us talk the matter over sensibly—
at least we won’t quarrel about it. 1
think you are a very obstinate, little
‘Daughter of Eve,’ but we each be
lieve our individual opinion to be the
correct one. Suppose we demonstrate
it—you and I—suppose we form a
compact of Platonic friendship. There
is sufficient affinity between us, I
think, to make it interesting and not
enough—don't you know - to make it
dangerous. Come, what say you?”
“Oh, that would be quite impossible!
Can't you understand that it would
place mo in an absurdly conceited
light, believing as I do that Platonic
friendship docs not exist? Were 1 to
agree, it would mean that your heart
must fall a victim to mine, and the
thought is quite unpleasant."
“Unpleasant! Thanks.- very much.
I admire your candor. But according
to my views, there is no end—no cli
max, you understand. Just in our
case. I assure you. Now. will you
consent?”
There was a slight hesitancy—an
undeflnable reluctance—in her man
ner; but he had wished it to be so; the
compact, was made, and she closed it
with a faint “Yes," and sealed it by
giving him her hand.
This was at tue beginning of the
watering season, and they had known
each other three whole weeks.

was never too hot for .lack Rla*r to
spend the choice portion ot it with
Miss Southwell—she was the recipient
nf all his joys and his sorrows; they
rowed together, frolicked in the sutf
together; sat together on the beach
where the dashing waves murmured
something which they could not under
stand, and where the moon came out

deviate from the true course of Pla

""because they did not understand
associated their names with significant
and knowing winks.
And thus the season drew to a close
and the time for parting came—as it
always will. On the eve of her de
parture. Blair called to bid her good
by. He felt a vague regret at this
separation, but consoled himself with
the thought 1hat it. was a most natural
regret—such as he would have felt at
a long separation from a beloved sis
ter. But with all respect to his sin
cerity in this belief, let it lie said that
he never possessed a sister.
As lie came into full view of the ho
tel veranda, he was annoyed to find
that his last evening with her must

j ho shared with another. Under the
1 banner of Platonic friendship, he had i
fully made up his mind to kiss her at i
parting, but now as lie realized that
even this could not be carried out in
the presence of anyone who did not
understand their relations, he dug his
heel viciously into the gravel.
“Oh. Jack!” joyously exclaimed Miss
I Southr.ell. as she tame within close
range of them, “Mr. Noyes has kindly
offered to assist me to the station in
1 the morning. Kind of him to he will
ing to carry my bird cages and hand
boxes, isn't it?”—this with a thorough- I
ly appreciative gianee in the direction |
of Mr. Noyes, upon which suble flat
tery that young man blushingly took
his immediate departure.
“Well, it’s a wonder that cad had
sufficient decency to know when to
make himself scarce!" irritably com
mented Mr. Blair, "and as to seeing
you to (lie station. anjone would lie
glad to do that, but 1 don't know who
has a better right than I."
"Why, Jack! Such conceit is quite
unpardonable. Positively, you say
that as though you were jealous. Re
member, Ihero is no such thing as
Jealousy in Platonic friendship,” said
she sweetly.
Platonic friendship! The d-; 1
beg your pardon. What a blind 'fool
1 have been! I might have known
that no sane man could for any length j
of time look into those eyes with
out—”
"Please don't say ‘falling in love,’”
pleaded she mercilessly, with a sub
dued twinkle in her eye—“that would j
spoil everything, and on the very last j
r.ight, text.”
"But that is just wiiat. 1 meant to |
say. I yield, dear; I don't believe j
! there is any such a thing as Platonic !
I friendship, either; both right and j
might are on your side. Come let us
be Platonic lovers, instead.”
Strangely, the veranda was deserted,
and even the moon was coquetting
among the flecks of clouds, leaving the
two for an instant in absolute ob
scurity.
"I cannot help saying. T told you
so,” came in a muffled voice from out
the darkness.

Wilson rode up on his mule, he saw
the richly caparisoned horse of his

been decorated in keeping with the
sentiments of the day, among other
things sporting a great bow of red,
white and blue ribbon on his tail.
Ralph hitched his mule and started up
the path leading to the front portico,
which was reached by ascending a
flight of fifteen or twenty steps. When

looked back. Quickly he called out
in true farmer fashion:
“Hello, in there! hello!"

believe that Dick will be the man
