She was not a girl whose thought ran entirely on drest and appearance, but abe viewed with acorn the nngroomed wo man. And at this moment she was morally eurtulo.

Poor Pedro, grieving In the baggage room in the bold at this , moment! What wouldn't ahe glv now for the Uny mirror reposing in th rejected vanity bag? Just then a young man loomed upon her gloomy mental borlaon. The boat had made a landing at one of those mall towns from , which tourists reached th Catskllla. The young man looked exceedingly cheerful and barm less. Uargaret decided upon this the Instant her troubled glance met his, Ills eyes were the sort to create a feel' lag of trust Be was good looking, but Margaret Instantly decided that he couldn't be blamed for that Anyhow, he wis looking for somebody, and ahe became restless. She met his look of Inquiry with a nod of invitation and deliberately drew ber skirts to one side aa if to make room for him on the divan. The young man accepted the un spoken Invitation with alacrity. He stood befor her, hat In hand.

She -had thought her own Impertinence quite impossible once the die was cast, but, this yonng nifiu'a nerve was monumental? She lowered her voice so that the woman in lace net could not hear what she said. , v- ; "Sit down, please, and explain. Of course you were not looking for me, I know that But you er-play the part much better thau I coukl I was in such trouble, and I just had tu peak to you." j Just for an instant a pitksj'ed expres sion passed over the man's face. - Teen he nulled himself together and sat down beside her. i "l am tremendously glad te be of service to any lady in distress.

Don't you dare to laugh wben I tell you this, but ev ery wemnn who has passed me for the last half hour has looked at me as If my hat was crooked or I had soot on my nose or my , skirt and blouse had parted company, ..Will you please tell mo wbat la the matter?" The young man tried not to give way to the mirth which was welling up within him and looked her over critically.-' , .,',' "WeIl,, he said Judiciously, "I can't see anything wrong except that the thing you wear for a collar seems to have slid around. Does the bow be long under your left ear?" " . Margaret clutched at the offending h! of rlhhnq, i. i sutupread, taucy wings, directly under er piquant chin. . ,. ; , .

From this point Margaret viewed the beauti ful panorama of the Palisades, and the young man, loyal New Yorker that be was, insisted that It was purely his duty to make his state show up at Its best The last ten or fifteen minutes of th trip were uncomfortable ones for Margaret Mrs. Grundy whispered In one car that sh had already bean in discreet and it was her duty to drop th young man forever. Her sens of fairness whispered in the other ear that sh owed him something for his cour tesy. As they gathered up their traps to disembark it waa quite evident that the young man was not giving: himself any anxiety over the eituation. He took her checks. He even accepted Pedro aa a matter of course. He led the way to a hansom without asking ber so much as where she was going. When she and Pedro were settled in the vehicle the young man stood with ane foot on the step. "Will you tell htm to take me to the Grand Central r she asked. "I have already done so," said the young man placidly, and, without hesi tation, he sprang into the hansom and tat aowu beside her. Margaret , was speecniess, not sure whether she was glad or sorry. Was the young man trying to kidnap her, or was he a iInd reader? She was cer tain she had dropped no hint as to her destination. "You see, I knew you all the time. You are Margaret Trenton, and you are on your way to visit Etta Wilson at Rye Beach. I saw your nam on your luggage." 'v. Margaret looked at bun in wonder. "Yes. but Rtta!
