Dy TEMPLE DAILEY. .H 0 II, my goodness!" said Annette. "I thought you had moro pu trlotlHtn, Peter." I'olor strotelied his languid length In tho great wicker chair on tho other side of tho tea table from which Annetto dispensed afternoon hospitality In her rose garden. "Dear girl," ho united, "who can measure patriotism? Because 1 won't inarch In a parndo with a lot of buff nnd bluo Idiots you choose to say that I do not lovo my country." , "Arnold Adams Is not nn fdtot," An netto Interrupted. Peter's eyes narrowed. "Then AN Jiu.u Auums iiiiruiiea. uura uc. aim makes n speech to tho nceonipunl- ment of appropriate tlreworks?' "no makes his speech la tho nftor- noon," Annette vouchsafed. "livery ouo scorns eager to help mo out with my Fourth of July garden party but you." "Pear jflrl. I'll como nnd pass cako nnd listen to the Declaration, but 1 can't parndu In costume." "Well. tlA men nil look lovely In their now uniforms," Annetto Informed him. "Somehow," said Potcr, "it uniform is associated In my niliid wit service. There aro the old regimentals of my great-grandfather, till stained with mud, and the faded blue cape that my father keeps In memory ot Gettysburg is blotched with red." lie shrugged his shoulders. "Hut It's too hot Ihl.s weather to dress up for nothing." "Nothlng-ohl" Aunottu Hung out her hands. "I don't bellevu you'd tight if thero was n war. Peter." Peter leaned acroRs the table. "Con sidering my ancestry," he said slowly, "is thero any reason you should think that?" i "Modern men haven't any back bone." she taunted. "Don't go too far." he told her. "My idea of lovo of country Is something deeper than more, shouting for tree dom." "Lovo of country Is courage." sho said. "You mean?" ho demanded. That I'm disappointed In you, Pe ter." Her eyes blazed. "I bellovo you're too lazy to enrry u gun." ".Slop!" ho thundered nnd stood up. Annetto stood up too. Sho slipped from dor linger u wonderful hoop of diamonds. "Thero," sho said, "tako It. If you loved me ycAi would see my point of View, It Isn't that 1 want you to wear bluo and buff: I want you to bIiow your patriotism." "Ah-patrlotlsml" Peter picked up the ring. "If you ever want this again you must ask for It. Annette. 1 am nfnild thnt otherwlso I can never for give tho woman who hatt called me coward." "I shall never ask for It!" oho blazed as Peter turned on his heel und left her. When tho great day enmo Annetto tried to Interest herself In tho decern- tlons, the refreshment, lu Arnold Ad- i ami, who, looking' very tiaudsoino In j bis colonial' uniform, bung orer her, nnd when be nindo his speech his eyes were on her. Annetto didn't like tils speech. It smacked of artificiality. There was In it so much of stum nnd stripes uud "HTOPl" 1IH TIIONUEKIU). vtho glory of country, but no depth of earnestness, no deep appeul to the bevirts ot men.

As she listened she felt herself grow ing smaller and smaller. This was the Peter whom she had accused of lack of patriotism, this man who win 'speaking so eloquently to these new comers to his native soil, telling them 'what It meant to bu uu American.
