Silence was. to quote from Jlnituie
Spencer, Ilenry Walcot's "long suit."
There was a great bond of friend
ship between the two. Torhaps they
followed In this the law that oppoaltes
attract each other, for Jlrunile Spen
cer was the reverse of Henry Walcot
In almost every particular. While
Henry was tall and dark, Jlmiule was
rather the medium height and so In
clined to rotundity of figure that his
face, beaming always with good hu
mor, inevitably suggested to an ob
server the qualifying adjective "chub
by." Why do I like Henry so welir said
JImuile one day in reply to a question.
"Because he is such t Jolly good fel
low and knows how to keep his mouth
shut Say, do you know," growing
suddenly enthusiastic, "Henry can
speak English, German and Spanish,
but, by Jove, he knows how to keep
Quiet
in about fourteen other lan
guages, not counting dialects and
slangr
"Why do I like Jlmmler said Hen
ry musingly. "Because he is Jolly
good fellow and knows how to talk, I
suppose."
So they sat now in front of cheer
ful open fire in Walcot's rooms, smok
ing and talking. Jlmmie was chatting
away, as usual, but there was some
thing a bit distraught in his manner
which did not escape the keen eye of
hla frinnri Ttv flnil hv ran .Tlmmlo'a
1 f,m1 t .m.tl tally .um&1 .rh.nsl&l
and each sat, smoking and musing.
It was Henry who broke the silence.
"Sit up, Jimmle, and talk out like a
man," said he, with a laugh. "You
know you never tramped all the way
op here in the snow and then climbed
three flights of stairs Just to hare a
chat Out with it man! What have
you got on your mlndr
Jlmmie looked op queerly, and,
"THIS TOD AKI KMOAORD TO KAT PBEft-
TON t :
catching the friendly gleam In the oth
er's eye, he laughed himself and re
plied:
"No lodging you, you sly dog.' I be
lieve yu are a mind reader anhow."
"Perhaps I do a bit in that line now
and tben," answered Henry, with an
assumption of great mystery, "nd to
prove It to you I will tell yon that
you came up here for no other pflrpose
than to tell me that you have gone
and got yourself engaged."
'Now, how In thunder did yon know
that?" asked Jlmmie, sitting up In as
tonlshoient "You look guilty," answered Henry,
with one of his peculiar, almost inaudi
ble chuckles.
'But I never told you that I was
even paying attention to the girl Whom
I am to have the honor of marrying,"
declared Jlmmie protetttlngly. "You
could not have bad any idea of if."
"Now, Jlmmie, my boy, do give mo
credit for using my powers of observa
tion occasionally," protested Henry.
"8o," said Jlmmie, "then mayhe you
have osed them far enough to teil me
the name of the girl."
I undoubtedly can," averred Henry
solemnly. "Stunted as my powers of
observation may be, they have been
sufficiently powerful to enable me to
declare that the young lady in qnestlon
is none other than Miss Preston."
Thla prescience was too much for
Jlmmie, who simply stared open mouth
ed at his chuckling tormentor.
"That's the worst of you close
mouthed people," said be presently,
with an air of deep disgust "You sit
around and don't say a word, and all
the while you are keeping close tab on
everything and everybody. Then when
fellow comes around to tell you a
piece of important news you take the j
wind all out of his sails with your air
of worldwide knowledge and conscious
ness cf his most Intimate thoughts. I
must say that I think you might have
pretended Ignorance. Now, I'll Just
keep quiet about the matter." And
Jlmmie resolutely shut his mouth and
turned again to his cigar.
Now, Jlmmie," said Walcot, with
dignity, "don't be any more of a chump
than usual. You know you are so full
of the subject that you have Just got
to talk. So Are away."
And Jlmmie did fire away presently,
the subject having got the better of his

"But Henry, all natural prejudice
aside, I Just can't believe my good
lack. To tnink that alia should ac
cept nie when she might have had toy

"Did she tell you so?"
"Nope," said Jlmmie cheerfully, "bet

falleu in love with her."
"Maybe I was in love with another
woman," said Walcot slowly.
There was something In hit tone
that made Jlmmie look up quickly.
Walcot waa gaslug luto the cheerful
fire, and there was such a smile upon
his fiic as Jtiutule bad never seen
that mercurial youngster was on bis
feet In an lnxtaut and rushed over to
Walcot
"By Jove, old chap, ao you have
been ludulKiiig iu a love affair am
didn't even take ine, your best friend
luto your conndence! 1 cnll that
shameful of you, but I am deuced glad
to know that you are lu love, after
all. Take my word for it, old chap,
there's nothing like It tu all the world."
"Easy, boy, easy," said Walcot with
n quiet mnlltt that may have conceal
ed some embarrassment. "I haveu't
confessed to any love uffnir yet. And
as for confidences, remember that you
told uie nothing of yours until you
were actuully engaged. Even good
friends like you and me don't talk
over such affairs. However, I may
hare I hope to have-some good news
to tell you soou."
"How soou?"
"Who can say?"
"nave you proposed to her?"
"No, but I Intend to do so."
"Good boy I Go In and win. If you
want a certificate of good character
call on me. I am always ready to tell
a lie In the sacred cause of friendship.'
And Jlmmle's Infectious laugh took all
sting away from the remark.
Once more fell a period of silence
and Jluiuile broke It with:
"Did you ever notice the color of
her eyes, Henry?"
"Yes," answered nenry, with an air
of amusement "They are blue, aren't
they?"
"No, Indeed," said Jlmmie somewhat
Indignantly. "They are a wonderful
deep gray, almost black."
"Is that so?" was the somewhat In
different reply. "Then she has the
same color of eyes as her cousin
know that she has wonderful, deep
gray eyes-wonderful eyes." This last
waa very soft.
"Not at all. stupid T said Jlmmie.
vexed at so much stupidity. "Her
cousin's eyes are blue. I'll be blessed
If you ever observe anythlngr
Jlmmie himself waa not observing
anything, bnt was sitting with bis gar.e
fixed on the heart of the flames and
bis mind lost In a happy reverie. He
did not see bis companion look up with
a quick terror In his eyes and a fm-e
drawn with emotion, nor did he iioar
a question addressed to him. Indeed,
Walcot's voice was very thick, and hs
hardly knew himself whether he had
spoken the question aloud or merely Id
bis anguish voiced It to himself.
"Then you are engaged to Kate Pres
ton?" he finally itjafiuged to say, loud
enough to make bis companion hear.
"Certainly," said Jlmmie In astonish
ment "Who did you think I was en
gaged, to certainly not to Annie Pres
ton r
"I didn't know," !1 Walcot weakly.
"So your mind rending wasn't so
good after all!" exclaimed Jlmmie In
trlurrpb. "Well, I must be going. So
long!"
Anrt be was gone.
For a long time Walcot sat before
the Are, though his cigar went out un
noticed and was not relit
. Then be slowly walkml to his desk
and took out a letter addressed In his
own firm handwriting. Opening It, he
stood In front of the fire and read It
through twice. It was a proposal of
marriage, simple, straightforward and
winning In its declaration of great
love.
The letter fluttered first to the Are,
and Ae envelope followed It Walcot
standing quietly to watch them burn.
One might have read the address on
the envelope even after It was caught
by the flames, and that address was:
"Miss Kate Preston."
