Three Roses and
Another
By JOANNA SINGLE
Dr. Jobu Puubaui knew what be dk

ogrilze what be did want when be saw
it These traits bad been of use to hiu'
In' working bis way tbrougb col lope

Into a flourishing practice now twc
years old.
' In lore at In business it was tb'
same, only the girls be bad thus fat
met were undoubtedly the ones be diO
not want Dr. John's black gray eye
were always on the silent quest of at
unknown girl the .thought of whom bt
linked with the thought of rose. Sb
did not appear. lie was thirty-two and
beginning to think he bad missed bei
and way deckling to devote bis spare
time entirely to rose culture when the
so longer expected happened.
In September he went, with a col
league, Frederick Mayne, M. P to a
medical convention in St Louis. Seat
ed at the fonual banquet be looked
up, just across the table, at ber! And
then be seemed to have always known
that she was small and blond, with
the sweet delicacy of a pink tea rose,
. that ber head was poised like a flower
and that breeding and courage showed
in every feature and gesture.
Instantly the thought of ber as hi?
mounted to bis head like wine, and hit
look met hers with an Intensity that
made her eyes droop. He turned cool
ry to Mayne beside Llin and said in a
low tone:
"Look carefully at this ring on my
finger, and don't glare up. I want tc
ask a question. Who la she?"
Strangely enough, Mayne knew whe
"be" was.
"Dean Carroll's daughter. Rose," bt
replied. Then as they both looked up
carelessly he continued, "I may as well
tell you that I shall try to get her."
Choking back a senseless anger, trying
to realise that Mayne bad as good a
right to want her as he, Dunham an
swered quietly: j
- "And I may as well tell you that you j
have me to work against I shall do
my best"
At the reception following John Pun
ham accosted bis old professor. Dean
Carroll, shook hands and asked:
"Doctor, please introduce me to your
daughter."
" . "Certainly, my boy with pleasure.
But" and the old man laughed "I
warn you!"
"It's everlastingly too late, doctor.
All I ask of you is not to tell ber 1
wanted to meet h?r and not to praise
me to ber." The serious eyes of the
'young man checked the old man's
figlle.
"Upon my aoul! I believe you're in
earnest.1"
"I warn you that I am." Dean Car
roll looked Dr. John Dunham over
carefully from head to foot Then be
eld out his hands.
"I wish you luck," be said slowly
"You're as open now as you were dur
ing the four years I knew you at col
lege and in your success since. Your
tactics are worthy of a general and
victory. Come along. But perhaps
you'd like me first to suggest to ber
that you're a dangerous character?"
John laughed contentedly.
Better that than encomiums."
. Rose Carroll met ber father's old pu
pil none the less graciously because be
was tall and strong and because the
heavy, dark hair framing his handsome
face was touched with gray. In fact
be was so Interesting that she met him
with an armor of protective resistance
beneath her graciouBness. She was
used to easy victories over ber admir
ers, but not anxious, though she was
en the alert, for her own Waterloo.
There was time enough for that
John began well. While deferential,
he was not adoring; while entirely ap
preciative, he -was not Insistent in bis
enjoyment of her society, which be
accepted with a sort of seemingly tran
sient spirit of camaraderie that piqued
her a little. Several times during the
evening be drifted carelessly back near
her and watched with amusement
Mayne's breakneck endeavor to make
use of his time to Impress bis rather
jmnderoits personality upon th girl.
Dunham asked permission to call next
day.
; He did call and was carel-ssly euter
talnlng. He let bimwlf go. showing
bis real self, shaking of his youthful
adventures in the weet of bis roses at
home and leavlug a s rt of an Impres
sion that be was a man Into wliow life
'women had entered little and that they
"were to hiifl a sort of pleasant relaxa
'tlon from workaday cares.
Hose found herself putting forth un
' usual effort- to please this man, who
was not. as others, apparently iu the
Heast subjugated by her charms. He
,did not stay long, but as he arose to
; iro be unwraiDd a long, slender par
feel he had been holding, crushed the
'tissue paper in his fingers and put
one perfect white rose into ber band,
'lie laughed down into her eyes.
' "i wanted to give you a red oue,
"only" The significance of bis tone
and bis hesitation made ber rise to bis
throw. .
"Only you didn't dare!" she finished
for him.
"Oh. I dared." be replied coolly,
"but I thought I wouldn't-yetl The
best for the last you know!" And
be left her trying to decide whether
be meant anything or nothing. Aa
he went out he met Mayne entering
wJ;b a arge floret's box, and during
his call he had learned that she was
leaving the next day for home. When
bt reached his office bt looked up th
northbound trains.
Next morning at T:55 he walked uj
to the station. Just around the cornet
A) the platform be saw liose Carrol
smiling at Mayue, who carried hei
suit case and a great bunch of pint
carnations. Before they saw hlui bt

and kept out of sight until the trail
came iu. He swung on the rear plat
form, while Mayne. triumphant iu bb
moment of favor.put the lady Into a seat
and bestowed ber luggage about her
As the traiu pulled out Dunham look
ed from his wludow iu the smoker and
beheld the idiotically adorlug face ol
Mayue, who was waving his farewell
Wheu be had smoked a long black
cigar John Dunham sauntered ink
the next car. About the middle ol
the aisle he stopped suddenly at a
quick exclamation:
"Why, Mr. Dunham r
ne looked down and saw, with ap
parent surprise. Hose Carroll, blush
lug and smiling. He removed his hat
but- made no effort to take the seat
which she had cleared for him beside
her. '
"Miss Carroll! So this Is your train
how pleasant! Lovely day, isn't it?
"Won't you sit dowur she asked.
little timidly. And he did and went
on talking so carelessly and yet so
meaningly, so brightly and still to
seriously, that It seemed to her but
a moment or two before be looked
from the window and stood up. Draw
lug a slender parcel from bit pocket,
be unwrapped a tingle, long stemmed
pink rose.
"I must get off here in order to get
back to an important case with your
father. 1 only got on to tell you
goodby.- Didn't want to Interfere
with Mayne at the station. I can't
compete with this floral generosity,"
and he laid the rose in her lap, "but
this it to remind you that some day
I shall bring you that red rose." He
wat gone, without touching her hand
In farewell. . She tat gasping pleased,
astonished, half angry, but completely
Interested. She looked at the pink
rose. Then she tossed the caruatlout
from the window and wondered bow
In the world John Dunham had man
iged to obtain her promise to answer
Us letters.
Thereafter Dunham wrote her not
regularly, but when the fancy seemed
to seize him whimsical, vigorous, joy
ful, masculine letters, wholesomely
free from all loremaklng. She an

long distance phone In lieu of a let

els of flowers, bad written ponderous
ly sentimental epistles and heaved
many ponderous sighs. Twice be bad
gone to see his divinity, and on his
last call her lack' of interest In bis
elaborate mention of . Dunham raised
suspicion in his slow but relentlessly
logical mind. On bit return be saun
tered into Dunham's office.
"Morning, old man."
"Morning. Mayne. Enjoy your vis
it 7" How the deuce did Dunham know
he'd been away Mayne hazarded a
guess.
"Yes, called on Miss Carroll. Write
o her, don't youT" Taken off guard,
Dunham admitted the soft impeach
ment and was Instantly sorry. Mayne
laughed with unctuous amusement
"Thought you were too astute for
that Bet tbe't got you going hat
the! Stringing you for all sbe'a worth!
Practiced hand! Great girl no end
jopular. Knows how to do It, Miss
Carroll." Dunham's anger rose, but
be answered carelessly:
"Look to yourself, Mayne. Guess I
tan take care of Johnny." But after
Mayne went the tide of his anger
'urged toward Rose Carroll. When
te could stand It no longer be went
tb the phone, closing the door of the
loner office, and .called up St Louis
tod Mist Carroll. After an hour's de
lay be got ber and went straight to
the point" , "
"That you. Mist Carroll? Enow who
Oils it? Yet! Lovely spring day! I
want to ask you something. Forgive
my bluntness, but I must know. Miss
Carroll, In your letters and all bave
foa meant everything or bave you
ecn playing with me?" A long pause,
While he listened Intently.
".No, I did not think so-I simply ask
ed. I have not the time nor the tem
per to play. You will forgive me for
Asking you? No, I can't tell you what
made me think of such a thing. Yes,
tome day I will. Certainly I believe
on! What? May I? May I come
his week? Of course I want to! But
( can't reach you till Saturday even
hig and will have to start back Sunday
morning. It's a long way, and connec
tions are bad. All right goodby till
Saturday!"
At 4 In the afternoon of June 1 John
Dunham stepped from hit train at St
Louis and went to a hotel to get rid
of his travel stains and appease his
hunger.
About 7 be emerged faultlessly -at
tired, visited a florist and took-a cab to
Dean Carroll's stately eld borne.
Rose came to him In the dim candle
light of the library, a vision in shim
mering gray. He bad Intended meet
ing ber In his usual easy way, but the
clamor of his heart and the wine of a
certain proud yielding in the glance of
her blue eyes swept blm into speech
lessness. He stood long looking at her,
her band still In his. Then he drop(ed
the small baud back at ber aide and
strode out into the hall.
Iu a moment he came back and clasp
ed her warm little fingers about the
stem of a glowing red rose.
' "The red rose," he said simply "the
time for it it now, isn't it?" be ques
tioned quiet!, stepping pack with his
trms straight at hit side to lodk at her
'Isn't It time, dear?" he Insisted,
"Ye. sue murmured. "I"- And as
she did not flulsh, with a sudden long
ing he held out both his hand to her.
"Will you. come. Rose?" With the
pride of a str.all queen, Roue Carroll
laid ber two bind In his.
