He is compelled to en tertain her during their enforced stay under the awning and he tries to be- : lleve that he is anxious to get rid of her. but it Is very evident that he is in love. Unfortunately for the smooth ness of lore's course Dick is mistaken ss to the Identity of the rtrl, whom he believes to be Nellie Gardiner. When later he has an opportunity to win a fortune by marrying "Miss Mur- , lei Mason" he rejects the offer on the ground of his love for another glrU The "other glrj" Is, ef course, the real Muriel Mason. Muriel overbears the rejection of her hand and in ignorance of Dick's mistake as to her identity, accepts the offer of marriage of his rascally partner. The marriage Is post poned from time to time and a year later. when she and Dick meet at a hunting club in the Rockies, all Is ex- f lslned and the bashful young man wins he girl of hi choice.
