Until 1 came here I never realized It was In me to make good at anything. But hero 1 have. I'm doing so well Hint I'd actually have some self re- I Epect If 1 wasn't bound to play this low down trick on Josle Lockwood. 1'vo worked and succeeded and been of Boine servlco to people who were worth It" "Who? Sam Graham?' fa "Ho and his daughter" ftirV -Oh. his daughterl" "Now, get that foolish Idea out of your head. There's nothing In It. Hetty's just a simple, sweet llttlo girl who's had a pretty hard timo and sever n real chance in life until I managed to give It to her. And I'd feel pretty good about that if Oh, there's no use talking to yo'ul" "No; go on. You're very entertain Ing." Kellogg laughed mockingly. "Well. 1 have tried to keep to the terms of our understanding. 1 singled out this Lockwood girl nnd worked all Uio degrees didn't say much, you know no lovcmnklng just let her catch me looking sadly at her onco In awhile." "That's the way to work It" "Yes, that's the way," Nat assented gloomily. Kellogg laughed with delight "Nnf ho cried, "my poor craay friend, listen to me, This working and church go ing and helping old Graham is all very noble and line, and I'm glad you've done It This drug store Is a monument to the business ability that I always knew was latent In you. And clean living hasn't done you any harm. But now you're due to come down to earth. This place pays you a neat protlt Well and good. That's all It'll ever do. It's new to you now, and you like the novelty, and you're having tbo time of your life .finding out you're good for something. But pretty soon it'll begin to stale on you. and before long you'll find yourself hating It and tbe town, and then you'll be back where you started. Now. I'm Spins to hold yoo to our bargain for your own sake. If you're stuck on the town and the work you can keep right on just as well after you'ro mar ried, but when you do begin to tire of It you'll want that fortune to fall back "OU, I UtfOW HOW 5fOU FJJUIi, HAT," on ami do what you llko with. Dou't let this clinneo blip not ou your life!" "But." Nat argued feebly, "think of tho Injustice to the girl, From tho yuy I've behaved Mneo I struck this burg sue thinks I'm closely related to the saints," "Very well, then; I'll concede a point. If you really think you're taking a mean ndvaniugo of her, when who pro poses to you tell her .all about yourself Just tho sort of Chap you'vo been, you needn't mention our agreement, however.

Traccy relumed to look after tho store during the supper hour, but was doitiJited to hoar that he need not re main, hut could go back to his beloved Angle. Now Nat moved to the wludows and switched on the bulbs behind the huge glass Jars tilled wltltluted water. Re turning, he was about to connect up the remainder of the Illuminating sys tem when Josle, entering, stayed him. Later he was glad of this. "Naf He knew that voice. "Why, Josle!" he exclaimed In surprise, swiuglng about to discover her standing on tho threshold, very dainty nud fetching AtUCCT WJLS DIXIOIITEU. Indeed. In one of the summery frocks she had brought back from New York. She moved over to him. holding out her hand. lie took It with disguised I reluctance. "I'm so glad." She sighed. 1 want ed to sec you to talk to yon alone." lie bit his lip In bis annoyance, shiv ering with a presentiment "What about Josle2" "About Wednesday night, after pray er meeting. Why didn't you wait for me? "Why ah I had to get back to the store, you kuow. There were some checks to bo made out and sent off, and I'd forgotten them. Besides," be added on Inspiration, "you were talk ing with Roland, and I didn't want to interrupt you." "So you left mo to go homo with him?' "Why. what else" "You'ro making me awful' unhap py." JJcr voice trembled. "You knew 1 didn't want to walk homo with Ro land." "How could I know that?" "i should think you ought to kuow It Nat unless you're blind. Besides, 1 told you once." "True." he fenced desperately, "but that was a long time ago, and how could 1 be sure you hadn't changed your mind? Besides, you know, 1 mustn't monopolize you. If I do" "Well?7 "Why. if I donh" "If you're ufrald peoplo will talk about us, beelng us so much together, you needn't worry. They're doing that uow." "Why. Joslor "Yes. they are. We've been going to gether so long. And even now you dou't seem glad to see me." "You should know I am." "You don't act like It." "It's so unexpected," ho muttered wretchedly. "You didn't really think I wanted Roland Rumotte to go home with mo Wednesday Might, did you. Not?' 'It seemed so. but that's all right. Why shouldn't you?' She turned to him. trembling a lit tle. "Must I tell you. Nut?" "Oh, uol" ho cried la "Please don't!" "I see 1 must," she persisted dismay. "You're so blind, lt"- "Josle, don't say anything you'll bo sorry for." he entreated wildly. "I can't help 11; I've got to. It was it was because 1 wanted to bo with you. There!" who gasped, frightened by hor own forwardness. "Now I've suld It!" Duncan grasped frantically nt straws. "But you don't really mean It, Josle. You know you don't" ho Ilouudered. "You'ro Just saying that because you you have such a kind heart and ah don't want to hurt me ah because" "Nat," she said gently. looking up Into his face, "would it make you hap py to know I really meant Jt?"

"Well, that's tho way It looks." she nhlrmcil plaintively. "You don't want It to, do youl" "Why, no; of course I don't." "Then why dou't you stop It?' She watched his face, her manner coy nud yielding. "Nat," she wild in n softer voice, "If you like uiu us well us I llko you" IIo moved nway a pace or two. "Ah. child." ho wild, with a fooling that the term wns not misapplied somehow, "you don't know what you'ro snylngl" "Yes, I do," she pouted, "t don't bollevo you care anything about me." "Oh, Josle. pleas" "Well, anyway you'vo never told me so." She turned nn Indignant shoulder to him. "How could U" "Why couldn't you?' "But dou't you see that I shouldn't Josle?" He turned back to bur side, looked down nt her. pleaded his de fense with the tire of desperation "Just think, you are an only daugh ter" just what this had to do with the case was not plain even to him "an only daughter," he repented "ah. not only your father's only daughter, but your mother's only daughter. Your father ah-ls my friend. How unfair It would be to him to" But the girl Interrupted with deci sion. "But nana wants you to. He told me so." Ho could only pretend not to under stand. "But consider. Josle. Yon are rich, nn helrotw. I'm n"poor man. Would you llko It to be said I was after your money?" "No one would dare say such a thing," she asserted, with profound com let Ion. "Oh. yss, they would! You don't know the world as I do. Aud for all you know they might be right. How do you kuow that" "Nat!" A catch In her voice stopped him. "Don't say such horrid things! I could tell a woman always coo. I know you would be Incapable of such a thing. Papa knows it too. No one tins over got ahead of pnpa, nnd he says you are a tine, steady. Christian m in and ho would rather see me your wife than nny" "Josle!" The Interjection was so Imperative that she was silenced. "Why, what. Nat?" she asked, rising. "The time has come." he declared. "You must know tho truth." "Oh. Nat!" "I'm not what you think me," he continued dramatically. "Oh. Nat!" "Nor what your father thinks me. nor whnt anybody else in this town thinks me. I'm not n regular Christian-It's all a bluff. I didn't know anything about a church till I came here. I smoke, nnd I drink, nnd 'I swear, nnd I gamble, and I only cut them nil out in order to trick you Juto caring for me!" "Oh. Nat I don't believe it!" "Alas, Josle," ho protested violently. "It's true, only too true!" "But you did it' to win my love, Nat'r "Ye-cs." Ho saw suddenly that he had made a fatal mistake. "Then. Nat, I will be your wife in splto of nil." He found hlmsolf suddenly caught about the neck by the girl's arms, lib head was drawn down until her cheek caressed bis nud he felt her lips warm upon his own. "Josle!" ho gasped. "Nat my darling!" With a supreme effort he pulled himself together nnd o in braced the girl. "Josle." ho said earnestly, "I I'm going to try to be a good husband to you. And that," bo concluded, sotto voce, "wasn't In tho agreement." She held him to her passionately. "Dearest I'm so glad!" "It makes me very liappy to know you are, Josle." Uo murmured miser ably, aud to hlmsolf whllo she still trembled In his embrace. "What a cur BI. pounu uniBur.F oAuorir iiy tub aim.'a Altllrt. you arol But 1 won't renege now. I'll ploy my hund out on the squurc r.llh her." Upon this tableau thorn came a bid den Jiitrtisfou. Tho back door opened, and G'riilmin came In, Kellogg at his heels, was the voice of the latter that told tlit two they were discov ered, a hearty "Hollo! Whut'a this?" that rang lu Nat's ears like the trump of doom. In n Hash tho girl dlbcngugcd her self, and they were u yard apart by the time that Graham, blundering in his surprise, miiungcd to turn ou tho lights at tho fiwltohbonrd. But even fin tho full glare of them io seemed unable to credit his sight "Why, NfltJ" ho nuuvernd. coming out to- medi70kd, oKKfioy. Friday, .tanfauy in, 1012, ward tho guilt y nam Why, Njit !"

Old Batn ivcmeiod sutllelontly, to take tho girl's hntitl nnd pat It "I'm mighty glad, iny denr," he told her. "I cuucruiulnte yuu both with nil my heart." "Aud so will I when I have the right," Kellogg mldud. smiling. "Oh, I forgot!" Nut hastened to remedy Tils ovcrsliitit. "Joslo, this Is my dearest friend. Mr Kelloag; Hurry, this is Miss LockwiHid." Jwle gavu Kolloiiff hr blind. "11," she giggled "Pm pleased to meet you. I'm sure." "I'm charmed. I've hoard n groat ileal of you, Mta Lockwood, from Nut's letters, nud I sltalt hope to kuow you much lietter Motv long." "It's awful nice of you to nay so, Mr. Kellogg." "And Nut, old mnn"-lollogg threw ii n arm round 'Uuiv'rtn's nhouldur "I cougratuluto you! You're n lucky dog'" "I'm a dog, all right," said Nat gluirtly, "But we mustn't disturb those young 'copto. Mr. Kellogjt." Graham broko lu nervously. "Tbey'll-t hoy'll have n lot to stty to one nnother, I'm mire, so we'll Just run nloug.

"I've got some news for you, too, that'll make you happy-" "Never mind about that; It'll keep till supper, Mr. Graham." Kellogg laughed, taking the old man's unit. "Goodby, both of you goodby for a tittle while." "Cowl by." "Wasn't that terrible?' Josle turned back to Nut when they were ulou "l'U A DOa, ALT. ItlOirT," BAtU SIT. "I think It wns real nieuti of Mr. (5rn hum to turn on all the lights that way," she simpered. "iJuiuebudy else might 've seen." ; "Yes." agreed the young mini, hnir distnictetl.

"What's bupponcd to f ouT" "M wife," Pete explained thickly. CHAPTEIt XX. P nnil.U'9 I'll belter go." Jo- sle. fluttering with alarm and n little pale, went quickly to the door. Duncan followed her n pace or two. "I can't leave Just now." be stammered. "I don't mind ono bit I don't want to be In the way. I'll telephone from home. Good night, dearest!" On tip toes slio drew his fnco down to hers and kissed him. "I'm so happy." Half dazed, Nat stared after her un til her lightly moving llguro merged with tho HbadotvH beneath the tree and was lout Then, with a sigh, he turned buck to Pete.
