out here to Littleneld and build th.a ,
house next door to his own. The two
houses were planned almost exactly
alike, and there was never a stick or

flower beds ran into ours, and our peas
and lettuce hobnobbed with theirs, and
that house was just as much of a home

Mark went out bareheaded into the
garden and strolled around the paths in
his slippers. He crammed his little
black student's pipe full of tobacco, and
began puffing away meditatively as he
cast his weather eye np at Kitty' win
dow on the garden side. With a great
head and mighty shock of curling au
burn hair. Mark had a good deal of in
ventive genius stowed away in the cham
bers of his capacious brain. Ha had
given himself to the study of electricity
with ardor, and had devised one or two
little improvements that had brought
bim patent rights and wine fame among
the fraternity of electrician. But what
was the use of being an inventor, with
the thunderbolts of Jove in his posses
sion, if be was walled In the dungeon of
some genii's old Castle Dolorous, with
Kitty in the extinguisher tower, and he
unable to communicate with her by
word or look, by telephone or phono
graph, or any other mean under heaven?
He thought of setting himself np with a
harp, like the minstrel under the win
dows of Richard Cctur de Lion, but it
would necessarily have been a juwsharp.
the only instrument he knew how to play
Kitty, he thought, was certainly a girl
destitute of originality, spirit or bold
ness, else she would have helped a little
toward making it easy tu get wf com

j Why should sbe be so iitule-w mid un
feeling as to deny him even a passing
glimpse of her dear' face? But he did
center of this confederation of loves. As
he stood looking vaguely up at Kitty's
window above the spike of the brick
wall it occurred to bim that it would be
an easy thing to rig np a telephone be
tween the two houses. He, who was so
expert in telegraphy and allied sciences,
could do it in a few hours, but what
would be the good if Kitty refused to
speak to him along the wire? Mark had
never studied these things as related to
the art of love making. He had never
heard that thoy hail been of the least use
in melting the hearts of obdurate fathers
or winning over lovely girls to disobey
their parents.
Now, as Mark strolled disconsolately
abont the garden, kicking an occasional
pebble out of the path or stooping to
pluck a ripe strawberry, he spied a lad
der near the hothouse. It waa only the
work of a moment to place it against the
wall in a secluded spot under a low
branching apple tree, which gave him
the opportunity to spy upon the Chil
ders' domain without being seen. Mark
stealthily mounted the ladder and peeped
over into the other garden. Grip, the
trreat mastiff, lay Inst below, with his
paws extended out of the straw of his
butch, and his great, moist, black muz
zle res'ting upon them, Ma inflamed eye,
however, active, and the tip of his tail
lashing reflectively the ground, while he
snapped now and then at an unwary fly.
Tom Childers was in the stable giving
orders to the coachman In a loud, dicta
torial tone. Tom was thick set and ath
letic, with the elements of a young
bra.ro in him, combined with consider
able swagger and brag, and it was gen
erally conceded that Tom wonld know
considerably less when he knew a little
more. Tom and Mark had grown np as
boys together, and Murk, much against
bis will, for he was naturally peaceable
and easy going, had been forced to pnn
Ish the truculent Tom on more than one
acters.
The idiotl thought Mark. Will she not
have wit enough to take the scrap of pa
per to her young mistress? No; after
skipping up the ladder agaiu, and peep
ing over to we if she could diacovur a
solutiou of the problem, she walked
slowly away toward the little alley by
the side of the stable, where Master
Tom was pepiriug a bonrd with pistol
balls. Mark knew he had bungled aw
fully when he heard Tom Childers say
tn a loud voice:
"By Jovel thu is a fresh Insult. They'll
be sending White Cup uutices next, with
cofllns and deaths' heads. The governor
shall hear of it."
Mark had occasion to reflect on the
perlidy of the female nature. The girl
had said not a word about the quarter of
a dollar snugly reptsjing In ber apron
pocket. Us ought to have written open
ly to Kitty, and then corrupted the maid
of the tip tilted nose with a largo brilie.
Mark was naturally very despondent
after the miscarriage of his tittle Inven
tion. Now that the scrap of puper
dropped over the wall had fallen into
Tom Childer' clutches, there was little
hope that It would ever come into Kitty's
hands. As he smoked his pipe and
prowled disconsolately alxmt in the
shady parts of the garden where he could
watch Kitty's windows unobserved, the
wildest projects came into his bead, mixed
np with fire alarms, burglars and cy
clones, in all of which he played the part
of Kitty's heroio deliverer, If Kitty
were willing to lie earried off, how easily
