Do You Drink It?
A minister's wife had qulto a tusslo
with coffee and her experionco is lu

"During the two years of my train
lug as a nurso, while- on night duty, I
becamo addicted to coffee drinking. Be

lug, when tho patients wore nsleop,
thero was little to do except make tho
rounds, and it was quite natural that
I should want u good, hot cup of cof

nnd I could keep awako better.
"After three or four years of coffee
drinking I becamo a norvoiiB wreck
and thought that I simply could not
live without my coffee. All this tlmo

tacks, sometimes so severe as to keep
me In bed for several days.
"After being married, Husband

feared that it had already hurt me
almost beyond repair, so I resolved to
mako an effort to release myself from
the hurtful habit.

O'llagait assured him no ono had bcon

an's linger iirlnts In dust on his desk,
along with u letter from Ills attorney.
Mnttland dined with Dannertnaii. his at

to tho country seat, ho met tho young
woman In gray, whom ho had seen leav

broken down.
CHAPTER II. Continued.
Hor superb composure claimed his
admiration. Absolutely Ignorant
though she hud been of bin proximity,
tho voice from out of tho skies evi
dently alarmed her not at all. Still
bonding over tho lifted foot, she turned
hor head slowly nnd looked up; and
"Oh!" said a small voice, tinged with
rollef. And coolly knotting tho laces
again, sho sat up. "I didn't hear you,
you know."
"Nor I sec you," Maltland supple
mented, unblushlngly, "until a moment
ago. I or can I be of assistance?"
"Can't you?"
"Idiot!" said Maltland, severely,
both to and of himself. Aloud: "I think
I can."
"I hopo so" doubtfully. "It's very
unfortunate. I . . . was running
rather fast, I suppose, and didn't seo
tho slope until too lute. Now," open
ing her hands In a gesture Ingenuously
charming with Its suggestion of help
lessness nnd dependence, "I don't
know what can bo tho matter with the
machine."
"I'm coining down," announced
Maltland briefly. "Walt."
"Thank you, I shall."
Sho laughed, and Maltland could
have blushed for his Inanity; happily
ho had action to cloak his embarrass
ment. In a twinkling ho was at the
water's edgo, pausing there to listen,
with admirable docility, to her plain
tive objection: "But you'll get wot
and and ruin your things. I can't
ask that of you."
Ho chuckled, by way of reply, slap
ping gallantly Into tho shallows and
courageously wading out to the side of
the car. Whereupon he was advised In
tones of fluttered indignation:
"You simply wouldn't listen to me!
And I warned you! Now you'ro Bonk
ing wot and will certainly catch your
death of cold, and and what can I do?
Truly, I am sorry."
Here the young man lost track of
her remark. Ho wns looking up Into
tho shadow of tho motoring cap, dis
covering things; for the shadow was
set nt naught by the moon luster that,
jellectcd from the surface of tho
stream, Invested with a gentle and
glamorous radiance tho fnce that bent
above him. And he caught at his
breath sharply, direst fears confirmed:
She was pretty indeed perilously
pretty. Tho firm, resoluto chin, tho
sensitive, sweet lino of scarlet lips,
tho straight little nose, tho brows del
leatoly arched, tho large, alert, tawny
eyes with tho dangerous sweet shad
ows beneath, tho glint as of raw cop
per whore her hair caught tho light
Maltland appreciated them all far too
well; and clutched nervously tho rail
of tho seat, trying to steady himself,
to re-collect his routed wits and con
sldor sensibly that it all was duo to
tho magic of tho moon, belike; the
witchery of this apparition that looked
down Into his oyes so gravely.
"Of course," ho mumbled, "It's too
beautiful to endure. Of course it will
all fado, vanish utterly In the cold
light of day."
Above him, perplexed brows gath
ered ominously. "I beg pardon?",
"I or yes," ho stammered at ran
dom. "You er what?"
Positively, she was laughing at him!
He, Maltland the exquisite, Mnd Malt
land tho imperturbable, was bolng
laughed at by a mere child, a girl
scarcely out of hor teens. Ho glanced
upward, caught her eye a-gleam with
merriment, nnd looked awny with
much vain dignity.
"I was saying," he manufactured,
"that I did not inlnd tho wetting In
tho least. I'm happy to bo of sorvice."
"You weren't saying anything of tho
sort," sho contradicted, calmly. "How
ever " She paused significantly.
Maltland experienced an Instan
taneous sensation as of furtive guilt,
docldodly the roverso of comfortabo.
He shuttled uneasily. Thero was a
brief sllenco, on hor part expectant,
on his, blank. His mental attitude re
mained hopeless; for some mysterious
reason his nonchalance had deserted
him in tho hour of his supormest
need; not In all his experience did ho
remember anything like this as awk
ward. Tho river purled Indifferently nbout
his calves; a vagrant breeeo disturbed
tho treo tops and dlod of sheer lassl
tudo; Tlmo plodded on with measured
stride. Then, abruptly, full-winged
inspiration wns born out of tho chaos
of his mind, Listening Intently, he
glanced with covert suspicion at tho
bridge; it proved untenanted, Inoffensive-
of mien; nor arose thoro any
sound of hoof or wheel upon tho high
"ay. Again ho looked up at tho girl;
and found her In thoughtful mood
rar3w -.iv-Jl
He Began to Wade
frowning, regarding him steadily be
neath level brows.
Ho assumed a disarming levity of
demeanor, smiling wlnnlngly. "Thoro's
only ono way," he suggested not too
archly and extended Ids arms.
"Indeed?" She considered him with
pardonable dubiety.
Instantly his purposo becamo as
udumant.
"I must carry you. It's the only
way."
"Oh, indeed no! I couldn't imposo
upon you. I'm vory heavy, you
know "
"Never mind," firmly insistent. "You
can't stay here all night, of course."
"But aro you sure?" (Sho was yield
ing!) "I don't liko to"
Ho shook his head, careful to re
strain the twitching corners of his
lips.
"It will tnko but a moment," ho
urged, gravely. "And I'll bo qulto
careful."
"Well" Sho porcelvcd that, If not
right, ho was stubborn; and with a fl
nnl small gesturo of deprecation,
weakly surrendered. "I'm Borry to bo
such a nuisanco," sho murmured, ris
ing nnd gathering skirts about her.
Maltland stoutly denied tho hldoous
insinuation. "I am only too glad "
Sho balanced herself lightly upon
the step. Ho moved nearer and as
sured himself of a firm foothold on tho
pebbly river bed. Sho sank gracefully
Into his arms, proving a considorablo
burden weightier, In fact, than ho
had anticipated. Ho was somewhat
staggered; it seemed that ho embraced
countless yards of ruffles and things
ballasted with (nt a shrowd guess)
lead. Ho Bwayed.
Then, recovering his equilibrium, he
incautiously glanced into her eyes. And
lost It again, completely.
"I was mistaken," ho told himself;
"daylight will but enhnnco "
Sho held herself considerately still,
perhaps wondering why ho made no
move. Perhaps otherwise; thoro Is
reason to bollovo that Bho may havo
suspocted being a woman.
At length: "Is thoro anything I
cun do," sho inquired, meekly, "to
mnko it easier for you?"
"I'm afraid," ho replied, attitudo
apologetic, "that I must ask you to put
your arm around my no my shoul
ders. It would be more natural."
"Oh."
Tho monosyllablo was heavy with
meaning with any ono of a dozen
moanlngs, in truth. Maltland debated
tho most obvious. Did Bho concolvo
ho had Insinuated that It was his habit
to ferry annfuls of attractive feminini
ty over rocky fords by tho light of a
midnight moon?
No matter. While ho thought It
out, sho was consenting. Presently a
slendor arm was paBBed round his
neck. Having awaited only that, he
began to wado cautiously shorowards.
the distance lessened perceptibly, but
ho contemplated tho decreasing Inter
val without Joy, for all that sho was
of an nppreclablo weight. For all bur
dons there aro compensations.
Unconsciously, Inevitably, hor head
sank toward his shoulder; ho was
awaro of hor breath, fragrant and
warm, nnou his cheek. ... He

stopped abruptly, cold chills running
up and down his back; ho gritted his
tooth; ho shuddered perceptibly.
"What Is the matlor?" sho de
manded, deoply concerned, but nt
pains not to stir.
Maltland made a strango nnlso with
his tonguo behind clenched teeth.
"Urrrrgh," ho said distinctly.
Sho lifted hor head, startled; relief
followed, inlenso and instuutuncoiiH.
"I'm sorry," he muttered, humbly,
fnco aflame, "but you . . . tickled."
"I'm so sorry!" sho gasped, vio
lently agitated. And lnughcd a low,
almost a silent, llttlo laugh, as with
deft fingers Bho tucked away the er
rant lock of hnlr.
"Ass!" Maltland told himself, fierce
ly, striding forwnrd.
In nnothcr momont thoy were on dry
land. Tho girl slipped from his arms
and faced him, oyes dancing, chcoks
crimson, lips a tense, quivering, scar
lot lino. Ho mot this with a ruoful
smile.
"But thank you but," sho gusped,
explosively, "It was so funny!"
Wounded dignity melted boforo her
laughter. For a time, thoro In tho
moonlight, under tho scornful regard
of tho disabled motor car's twin head
lights, these two rocked aud shrieked,
while tho silent night ilung back dis
dainful echoes of their mad laughter.
Perhaps the Insano Incongruity of
their performance first became ap
parent to tho girl; sho, at all events,
was tho first to control horsolf. Malt
land subsided, rumbling, while she
dabbed at hor eyes with a wisp of lace
and linen.
"Forglvo me," she said, faintly, nt
length; "I didn't mean to"
"How could you help It? Who'd ex
pect a hulking bruto like myself to bo
ticklish?"
"You aro awfully good," sho coun
tered more calmly.
"Don't say that. I'm a clumsy lout.
But " Ho hold hor gaze Inquiringly.
"But may I ask"
"Oh, of course certainly; I am
was bound for Orecnpoint-on-tho-Sound"
"Ton mlleB!" he interrupted.
Tho corners of her red lips drooped;
hor brows puckered with dismay. In
stlnctlvoly sho glanced townrd tho
water-bound car.
"What am I to do?" sho cried. "Ten
miles! ... I could never walk It,
uover In the world! You soo, I went
to town to-day to do a llttlo shopping.
As we were coming homo tho chauf
feur wns arrested for careless driving.
He had bumped a delivery wagon over
It wasn't really his fault. I telephoned
homo for somebody to ball him out,
and my fnther Bald ho would come In.
Then I dined, returned to tho pollco
station and waited. Nobody came. I
couldn't stay thero nil night. I
'phoned toovorybody I know, until my
money gavo out; no ono was In town.
At lust, in desperation, I started homo
alone."
Multland nodded his comprehension.
"Your father?" ho hinted dollcntoly.
"Judge Wontworth," uhu oxplalnod,
hastily. "Wo'vo taken tho Grover plaeo
at Oreenpolnt for tho season."
"I soo" thoughtfully. And this was
tho girl who ho had believed had been
In bin rooms that evening, In his ah
Houco' Oh, clearly, thnt was Impos
sible. Hor tone rang with truth.
Sho Interrupted his train of thought
with u cry of despair. 'What will
they think!"
"I dare say," he ventured hopefully,
"I could hire a team at some farm
house "
"But the delay! It's so late al
ready!"
Undeniably Into; ono o'clock at tin
curliest. A thought longer Maltland
hung in lack of purposo, then without
a word of explanation turned and agntn
began to watlo out.
"What do you mean to do?" hIic
cried, surprised.
"Sen what's tho (rouble." ho called
back "I know a bit about motors
Perhaps"
"Then but why"
She stopped; nnd Maltland forbore
to encourage her to round out her
quest Ion. It was no dllllcult matter to
supply the missing words. Why hail
ho not thought of Investigating tho
motor before insisting Hint ho must
carry her nshoiu?
The humiliating conviction forced
itself upon him that ho was not ilgur
lug to great advantage lu this adven
ture. Distinctly a humiliating sensa
tion to one who ordinarily was by way
of having a I) no conceit, of himself.
It requires u certain amount of ego
tlsin to enable ono to piny tho ex
quisite to onn's personal satisfaction;
Maltland had enjoyed the possession
of Hint certain amount; theretofore his
npproval of self had been passably en
tire. Now he could not deny tho
boor had shown up through the polish
of tho beau.
Intolerable thought! "Cad!" ex
claimed Maltland, bitterly. This all
was duo to hasty jumping at conclu
sions; If ho had not chosen to believe
a young nnd charming girl Identical
with nn an adventuress this thing
had not happened nnd ho had still re
tained his own good will. For ono lit
tle moment ho despised himself hearti
ly ono llttlo moment of clear Insight
Into solf was his. And forthwith ho
began to incdltntu apologies, formu
lating phrases designed to prove nde
quute without sounding exaggerated
nnd Insincere.
By this time ho had reached the
car, and through sheer blundering
luck at once stumbled upon tho scat
of trouble a clogged valvo In the car
buroter. No serious matter; with tho
assistance of a repair kit more than
commonly complete, he had tho valve
clear In a Jiffy.
Nows of this triumph ho shouted to
tho girl, receiving In reply an "Oh,
thank you!" so fervently grateful that
ho felt more guilty than ever.
Humiliating unhappily on tho cud of
contemplated nhnscment, ho waded
round tho car, satisfying himself thnt
thoro wnB nothing elso out of gear;
and npprchenstvoly cranked up.
Whereupon the motor began to hum
contentedly; all was well. Flushed
with this success, Maltland climbed
aboard and opened tho throttle a trlllc.
Tho car moved. And then, with a
swish, a gurgle, and a wntory whoosh!
It surged forward, up, out of the river,
gallantly up tho Blope.
At the top the amateur chauffeur
shut down tho throttlo and jumped
out, turning to fnco tho girl. Sho wns
by tho stop almost before ho could
offer a hand to help hor In, and as she
paused to render him his duo meed of
thnnks, It bocnnio evident that sho har
bored llttlo if any resontment; oyes
shining, face uglow with gratitude,
she dropped him a droll hut graceful
courtesy.
"You aro too good!" she declared
with spirit. "How can I thank you?"
"You might," ho suggested, looking
down Into lior fnco from his superior
height, "give mo a bit of n lift Just a
couple of miles up the road. Though,"
ho supplemented eagerly, "If you'd
really profer, 1 should be only too
happy to drive the car home for you?"
"Two mllos, did you say?"
Ho fancied something odd In her
tone; besides, the question was super
lluoua. Ills oyes Informed with puz
zlement, ho replied: "Why, yes that
much, moro or less. I live"
"Of course," sho put In quickly, "I'll
give you tho lift only too glad. But
us for your taking mo homo at this
hour, I can't henr of that."
"But"
"Besides, what would people say?"
sho countered, obstinately. "Oh, no,"
she decided; and he felt that from this
decision thero would be no appeal;
"I couldn't think of lntorforing with
your . . . arrangements."
Her' eyes hold his for a slnglo In
stant, Instinct with mlschlof, gleaming
with bewildering light from out a faco
schooled to gravity. Maltland oxpo
rloncod a sensation of having graspod
uftor and missed a subtlety of al
lusion; his wits, keen ns thoy woro, re
colled, battled by hor flnosso. And tho
more ho divined that she was playing
with him, as an experienced swords
man might play with an Importlncnt
novice, the denser his confusion grew.
"But I have no arrangements " he
stammered.
