dow , and to Carstalrs any thins Dolly
did was at Interest , espedally now
that Major Ruthven had declared that
there should bo no communication bOo
tween these two young people.
Such an edict Is difficult of enforc&-
moot when the young people Ihed just
opposltQ each other , but thQ major
In his sla-
found a most efficient ally
ter' Lydia.
Sha had been dlsappotnted In her
first and only love attalr , and was out
ot'pattence with lovers generally and
! ? ranle Carstalrs In particular , tor
' ot apprecla.
tlJo elder Carstalrs' lack
tlon of Lydia's cbarms ha.d sent him
els01'l'horB ' to look for a. Ufe-mato and
so had confirmed Ly i 's spinster-
bood.
The major's objectlttn to Frank's
suit took more practical ground.
Franlt , as ca.mpaign manager tor bill
best friend nud partner , had defeated
the major's candldato for the &tat
leglslaturB and lacldentnlly had won
control' t the party In his district , an
advantage not to be despised. by a
rhling young lawyer , even though ho
be possessed of independent fortune
and the love of Dolly Rut.hven.
Just nO\v Frank watched Dolly
gloomilY. He bad tried in every way
to get word ts > her since on the night
at the primaries the major had
slammed the door In his f. < : e.
He was cortaln she did not share
her father's wrath , but to gnln her
side , with Miss Lydia as dragon , was
a matter beyond his shrewdness.
He wntched her Idly as she 1tuttered
the dainty duster about the plaster
cast , and wondered It ho might have
been mlstalten in his bellet that sh )
still loved him , for sbe had been at
great pal-ns apparently to call attention -
tion to the cast , and Cupid's back was
.l turned to him.
, r ' Suddenly he found that the slgnlfl'
c nce lay in the dusting rather than.
the , white figure. First the duster
flitted down ono shoulder of the Uu : . > ld ,
then the other. Next there was au.
,
other dab down the flrst side , followed
by two moro and then one. It he had
been out with the mlUtia signal corps
this woutd have been his call , "F. C. "
Just for fun , he would water the
plants In the window-and roply.
With the tiny watering can he
sprinkled one side of a geranium , antI
then twice swung the aprinkler all. the
other side : that was "D. " The "V'
was three more dots on the same side
and ono on the other. Lilm 0. flash
came fresh flourishes of the duster ,
and he bad Dolly's " 0. K. "
Twenty minutes later Ji"rank went
downtown with bead erect , and when
ho met Major Ruthven be added fur.
ther to his offences by passing that
dourhty veteran with a broad S'fln.
The major's frown was smoothell
t away only when Miss LYdia nssured
blm that Dolly had been In her own
room all the morning.
That evening Frank's big red auto-
mobllo stood panting in front at the
bouse across the way , while DoUy ,
carefully chaperoned by her father
and aunt , took tbe air on tha brown ,

In another second Dolly bad jumped
Into it , nnd with a derislT' "honk" at

leaving Miss Lydln breathless and the
major Inarticulately profl1ne.
"He must have arranged this with
her , " spluttered tbo major , when at
last words came to his relief. Du
Miss Lydia was positive In ber aSBur-
ance tbat tbere had been no communi-

Tbis bad only the result of brln lng
two plain clothes men and a dOJen re- !
