NEWZEALANDFIRE INSURANCE COMPANY (Copyright, 1004, by T. C. McClure.J According to precedent, Professor Btongtiton should have been fat, buld- headed, nearsighted and shubblly dress ed; be should bave talked In a alow, deliberate tone; he ahould have paid heavy compliment, to the young worn en, and at all timet and la all place, be ahould bave been absurdly absentmlnd- led. The mm of science whom Miaa Cov erly Lad met heretofore at the Bren- ton.' country place had always been very much of tbla descrlptlonstald servants who aat a hone with aa much grace aa they would have ridden a rail, who Infallibly loat themselves when ever they went shooting and who spent much of their time reading before the library Are tomea whose very titles were depressing in tbeir profundity, The fact that Stougbton beld the chair of biology at one of the big west' era universities seemed irreconcilable with hia youthful face and bla alinoet boy bin enthualaam over the horaea and the shooting. When be waa presented to Miaa Gov erly Just before dinner on the day of bis arrival, that aelf possessed young woman frankly .told him that he bod upaet all her preconceived Ideaa of him. Stougbton laughed delightedly. "I've fooled the world Into thinking I am a biologist, but between you and me I don't mind confessing I'm an overgrown boy," he wb tapered to her aa ahe went lu to dinner on hia arm. It waa a dinner that Btoughtou long rememberedthe mellow candlelight, the gay banter, but moat of all the quiet, gray eyed girl beside htm, whose few words were alwaya to the point and whose smile waa something a god from high Olympua might well aue for. 11 through the dinner Stougbton. under the apell of that smile, waa at hia best Ills timely repurtee and his brilliant flashes of wit kept the table In a genial uproar, but when the men were left to the decanters and the cigars be fell Into a brown study, Idly twirling a spirit glass between bla thumb and linger and smiling quietly to blmself as he recalled Miss Cov erly'a white throat and the pretty poise of her head. Stougbton managed to be much with alias Cov erly during his stay at the Hrentous'. They rede together In the crisp autumu mornings; together they beut the neighboring coverts for grouse and partridge; they strolled aQeld In the gorgeous twilights. Stougbton, who had never before given the matter much thought, dls covered be waa possessed of a heart. and the alternate flushes of bope and despair this discovery brought about gave Ij Iiii ample opportunity for stud tea In antitheses. At the eud of the second week there came a day of gray, monotonous rain. In the billiard room the men were striv ing to amuse themselves with much smoke and tin im riiHlonal lilt of brilliant pliiy.
