"We may be eoualns, Marta, but If tlio worst comes to worst we can save each other from single blessedness." "I don't want to bo saved," Marta Informed him succinctly. "I alwaya aid thnt if 1 didn't marry Billy I shouldn't marry any one. But of course I expected Billy to come back." "Of courso," sympathized Archie, "a man ought never to take a girl's 'no In earnest." ' ' ' ' ' "Well, Billy has," and Marta ap pllod herself to the salad in anything but a lovelorn manner, "and I feel It In my bones that I shall have to send teaspoons to that red haired girl." "Her hair Isn't red. It's gold with red lights lu it." "It Isn't," Marta contradicted. , "It Is." 1 , "It's red," said Marta. ; "It's gold," said Archie. j "There's only one way to settle It," Marts said. "I'll go over and ask Billy." . "Hut I thought Billy wouldn't speak to you." ... "He'll have to," Mnrta declared, "and while we are walling for our pnrfalt I'll auk the question." Before Archlo could stop her slw was out of her clinlr and halfway across the room. "Billy," sho said as she came up to the other table, and Butler turned half around In his seat and stared at her, "Murtal" he ejaculated. "Whcrodld you come from?" And he was on bis feet In an Instant. "I am at tho other tnhlo," Mnrta ex plained, "with Archlo Vondorvort. Ho watits you to decide au argument, and If you don't mind going over I will sit down here for a minute." "Certainly, and I'm so glnd to hove you meet Miss Mcrrlum. Ituth, this Is ono of my oldest friends, Marts Blaine." "You won't mind bis going over to the other table, will you?" Marta ask ed as she sst down. "Oh, no," and Miss Mcrrlam turned on ber a brilliant glanco, "uot If you will stay with me. I have heard so ranch about yon, Miss Blaine." I "Oh. dear," Marta questioned, "what has Billy been saying!" 1 I "Such nice things," the other girl told ber. "Atid now tliut I have seen I you I don't believe they are any too nice." I Marta waved the flattery aside. I "Pear child," she said. "Hilly will 1 say anything when ho Is out of my sight I ran keep him straight when 1 am with hliu." I "I just love Cousin Hlllf," said Miss Mcrrlum. "He's the dearest tblug!" Marta stared. "Cousin," she said "couslnl Are you Billy's cousin?" "Yes." "Well. I might have known," Msrta murmured.

"It's about your hair," Marts told her, "that I sent Hilly over. Archlo said It was gold, and I said It was red. You mustn't m! ml my saying It, be cause really 1 was Jealous of you. But now that I know you are Bllly'a cousin I think your hnlr Is beautiful. I was afraid I should have to send you tea spoons." "Teaspoons?" was Bulb's puuled question. "Yes, for a wedding present, you know." ' Ituth bl untied. "Tbo Idt's!" she said. "Why, every one knows thnt Billy's dead In love with you. lie has told me so dozen times." Marta gave a sigh of relief. "I was afraid he bad stopped," she said. "And I should miss Billy's adoration dread fully." "I shall never stop," said Billy, who had come up behind ber. Then bo went on as If be bad ma do the most commonplace declaration. "Archie says you are to come back and eat your parfalt Marta." "I would rather est It with you," ssld Marta unblushlngly. "I'll tell you, Billy, you bring Archie over here and we will Introduce blm to Ruth. Do wants to pnlnt ber picture, and he would rather talk to her than eat, and you can come over to the other table and have pnrfalt with me and every thing will Iw lovely." "Yes. everything will be lovely," Billy agreed, but Ituth said In a star tled way. "Ob!" "Oh, you needn't mind," Marts said when Archie bad been presented and was seated opposite tho red gold beau ty. "Billy and I will chaperon you from the other table. It will be per fectly proer, for we are engaged, you know." And, with a sparkling glance at her lover, she swept past the foun tain toward the balcony. "Well, of all things," Billy ejaculat ed. Then he held out bis band to Archie. "Congratulate me," ho said. "I don't know what made ber change ber mind, but I've been working for this for a year." And, with happiness fairly radiating from bis handsome countenance, he made his way across the room to where the lady of his heart awaited him. Good Cough Jifediclne for Children.
