'Who else la coming r ahe will aak me defiantly." The Ore crackled on, Daisy slipped ever to the friendly arm of ber hus band's chair and atlll aat gazing medi tatively Into tbe rosy depths. "Don," she aald at last, "while we are In New York next week will you ask Bob to drop Into tbe fiat occasion ally and see that things are all right? '"Good Idea." Don heartily agreed. "Bob will enjoy looking after your fernery, Daisy ; you know he la an ad mirer of yours." Bob was well pleased to oblige hla friends. The thought of an uninter rupted evening aiming Donald's well choseu books waa inviting. He fitted the latchkey which bla friend bad bestowed upon blui and entered the deserted vestibule. All waa in readi ness for bis coming, as Don had said. Aa be switched on the living-room lights be saw a dish of polished red apples on a table beside the fireside chair. Several new pieces seemed placed for his selection on the grand piano. i ,- ' lit hastily shut off the myriad lights ; aa he dropped to the hearth rug, I leaving the golden shaded lamp alone for his use. And as Bob bent to build tbe fire be dlscardel his coat. From a I rear room came crooningly the chirp ; of a bird. Bob arose. Don had not mentioned tbe added care of a bint i and here he. Bob, had allowed two days to elapse before visiting his friends' home after- their depurtut The tiny creature might be suffering now for want of food. Softly, on tie thick rugs, Bob made his way in the i direction of the blrd'a murmurltgs, Tbe cage hung In a high kitchen win dow, and standing upon a stool before the cage was a girl. The bright lights of the white kitchen fell upon her bror.ze-gold hair; and presently, as though sensing his presence, tbe girl turned abruptly, and losing ber bal ance fell with a startled cry directly into Bob's outstretched arms. It seemed that he had anticipated that fall from the moment the girl turned her white face toward him. A quick stride found him at tbe side of the high stool. It took him some time, however, to realize that the young woman's alarm was occasioned by bis own presence. Then Bob, holding her and vainly endeavoring to reach the faucet In or der to dampen her forehead with re viving water, wondered vaguely how In the world this strange young wom an came to be In tbe deserted apart ment which Don assured him was locked against intruders. For a mo- j tnent the dizzy thought assailed him that be bad mistakenly eutered the I wrong apartment. Then the pale- j faced young woman found voicj. "I don't know," she said, "what you are doing here." She surveyed Bob's coatless figure. "But If you are burglar, won't you please goj" "Burglar!" Bob gnsped. He realized that the young woman was endeavor ing to free herself from his close sus taining grasp. Also, that a most be coming rose color had banished the ashy whiteness and that her affright ed eyes were now glinting dangerous resentment. "Burglar!" he repeated. "Why I came to look after the ferns. Don asked me to. I'm his friend." The young woman, sinking down on a kitchen chair, stared at him. "Not," she asked mockingly, "the paragon Bob Reynolds? I," her tone waa ex pressive, "have heard of you. Daisy made me promise to look after her bird every evening. I am Daisy's friend." "Not," mimicked the man, "the rare ly perfect Nan? I have heard 'of yon." And when It so happened not many weeks later that Bob Reynolds proud ly announced his engagement to the two friendly conspirators. Nan laughed. ' "Bob had to take me," she reproved Daisy. "Ton fairly threw me at bis head." "Meaning," said Nan's lover happily, "that you, my dear, dropped promptly Into my arms." ES WANTED V. y.
