name struck Sarah as so suitable she would never want,
or be worth more than f irlhiiiK's worth of anything! And
life in the east, which is usually provincial to the last de
Ki'ee, and practically lived In a tea saucer, surrounded
by eyes, would suit her to perfection she would always
live for little interests, not great ones."
" You altogether underrate her character." said James.
Ji.st as If lie read Sarah's thoiihts; "she Is true and
stanch to her friends-sweet tei.ipered--a gentlewoman In
every word anil act, as by birth mil what more do you
want?"
" I'm," said Sarah thoughfully. She was thinking bow
cheap a trousseau is for hot climates and washing frocks
cost so little white, of course and the girl s sin of l i.l

nlze 'em thin they strike you askew. Heaven preserve
the man who go. through life as caretaker to the remains
of his wife's good looks!"
" Flopaloiifj's husband will have quite another mission."
said Sarah, with refreshing acidity of tone. " He needs
to be rh h. for by the time she Is 4, he will have to n
large doorways and charter private omnibuses in which
to lake her about. Twin' round her waist will be once
round Ihe park, as somebody once said of a certain fat
woman!"
"So long as It's my own park. 1 don't mind." growhd
.lames. " There are worse discuses In the world than fat.
To my mind a scraggy, wrinkled woman Is an abomina
tion." Sarah Svnlase drew herself up. She prided herself on
a figure that second-rate dressmakers characterize as
r
"genteel." and the man's remark struck her with the
force of a verbal, merciless snapshot.
" We cannot all be puddings," she mild, with biting
emphasis, and a glance thrown to a particular little pud
ding In the garden.
" Sugar and spice, and nil that's nice." said James
Farthing maliciously, as his eye followed hers. "Some
puddings are delicious. I think most women -and the
women who write about women are cats cats cats!
Kvery mean and cutting thing they any is at the expense
of a sister woman and though they don't know It of
themselves. Flopalong, as you call her, will never be a
scruteher."
" No a flop-along along -along! hasn't the energy."
" She had energy enough yesterday to pick up a child
with a broken head, followed by gaping, useless crowds,
her dress all smudged with blood, and take him home,"
said the man angrily.
" O. she Is good hearted enough." admitted Sarah re
luctantly, " but her minor faults her unpiiin tuallty "

" You put happiness before everything." said Harali
reproachfully.
"And you," he said sadly, "have huv'Kcd your raj;
doll fetish of reni nclation to your bosom until it almost
sii ins to pulse and glow with real life Hi lleve iiuv for
all of us the world is full of Joys we can enjoy without
hurting anybody else."
Her face changed; for the moment the real worn in
broke through, but she ii n 'tin. d silent.
" It is true." he said spiakln j for her. " We say no.
no, to this and that at the banquet of life, and one day
we lind ourselves sitting alone at a bare table-t lu re Is
no feast spr. ad for us any more. ' He that will not when
he may, vv In n he will, he shall have nay.' There's all
the wisdom of Solomon In that tag of an old rhyme."
Hut Sarah hid recovered herself, with a sense of in
decency in havintf for a moment shown her unclad mind.
She bad hurriedly leilraped it. yet he Judged her the more
kindly for that glimpse. . . .

sleepy, rich llllle voice that gave 1 arm st of her quality
as a sweet singer.
Lust night she had song Io him most of the old bal
lads that he loved. He liii il found himself wondering if
the t went y-llrst and scceeedlnu centuries would rejoice
In tin in as he did. because no new on-s had been written
In the Iweiitl. til. And then sin- had placed to him some
pnliy little airs all the things she did and talked about
were little. Sin h. iself was perhaps the smallest ol lliein

the big man yeariu d over In r as she chattered happily

those lovely eyes that almost suggested a tragedy, past

He drew her on Io talk of her father and mot her--the

To James hub ed there yeas a gentle wisdom In some of
the things she said, peculiar to young people who have
seen much sm row. lb had alwavs noted that there was
nothing giddy or Mighty about In r. eyln. in.; in. special
predilection for men's s-ciitv. I'erhaps that was why they
sought hers.
They talked so long that the shadows came down and
almost hid their faces from each other; talked till all the
girl's Innocent heart was laid bale to the man In Its purltv
and truth, and he found himself thanking lod that In
these days of emancipated womanhood a litth 1'lopalotc-;
was slill to be found. I'r. seii'ly. quite soberly , he aski d
her to marry him. Soim-how. without asking her. he was
sure that the curly headed, handsome boy counted for
nothing whatever In In r life. She had alway s liked pen
pie older than herself.
" I am fifteen yi a i s y our senior." he said, " and I shall
have to take you to a shocking climate"- he did not add.
for he was but a man and si-Hlsli, " that helped to kill
your mother."
Flopalong s heart leaped, and her beautiful eyes shone
