X ♦ Marcia, iu a red sweater, made a bright s|M>t on the other side of the greeu. Richard waved to her. and she waved back, dropping her bag of golf clubs and standing on tiptoe so that he might se«‘ her «dearly above the busties. When he «•am«' up to her h«' said: "Such energy! It’s only 7 o’clock." “I ho|M*«l to be early enough so that 1 could go around the course alone." The words were severe, but her eyes twinkh*d. "You know you’d rather go with me.” Richard built up a tee of sand neatly and topped It with his round white ball. “I’ve made my drive." Marcia said, "arid my ball is lost over there some where in the bushes; so, if you please. I’ll follow my nose and find it.” Amt away she went. And Richard, putting all his skill into his drive, sent his ball halfway to the first hole. Then he picked up his bag ami marched in leisurely fashion after Marcia. "Found it?" he questioned. “No." "That’s a woman’s trick—to lose a ball." She whirled around on him. •‘Just as it is a man’s trick to lose his heart!" she blazed. He grew white. “1 didn’t think you’d say n thing like Hint." he said and turned and left her. She went running after him. "Oh. Dirk, Dick!" she < rled. “I didn’t mean It.” He inim|>ed on. unheeding, and at last stie came up to him and laid her hand on his arm. “Really. I didn’t mean It.” sh«> pleaded. He stopped and looked «low’ll at her gravely. “I’ll admit it xvasn’t very nice of me to make that remark about the ball.” lie said, “but there's a dif ference between making fun of a girl’s game and making fun of a man’s love.” “Yes. there is,” she admitted. "And I’m sorry. Dick." Of cours«' he forgave her. as he had forgiven her all summer, ever since that first night when h«> had iieen pre sent«! to her in th«' ballroom of the big hotel and she had divided Ills waltz with some on«' else I But she had begged pardon so prettily that he had felt almost as If he were the ot fender. “But this is th«' end.” he said sternly. “Let’s have It out rigtit here, Marcia »• ’ “Have what out?" “All of It We ar«' going homo to morrow. and, try ns 1 will, I can’t get an opportunity to ask von to marry me.” “Oh!" “Yott’v«' held me off and parrle«! and run away, but It’s got to la* settled here and now.” And with that this very fierce young man sat down on a hillock and motioned her to another. “Oh. my goodness!” said Marcia faintly, lint ah«' «11«) as ah«» was told. “Of course I know I’m not worthy of you and nil that I haven’t much money, blit I’ve got health anil strength and the will. I've got ambition, and I’m going to win out tn the fight of life, and I’ll make a place for you If you’ll let mo And I'd do anything to save you fr<nn Dorlng." Her head wont up. "I Ilk«' Mr. Dor Ing," she cm* liasizt'd. “Tie’s vrry po- lite—ntul -and" “I’m not," said Richard bitterly. “Oh, you mssln’l rub It in! Rut you k«»ep tn«' so stirred up. I’m not tin If bad when I’m normal.” Her laugh had a trembl«» in it. “No. you’re not half bad." she agr«sl. He turn«*«) to her eagerly. “Marcia, you don’t love Doring?” She arose «piiekly. “He Is worth a million." Richard stood up also. “As if that would make a tilt of difference to you.” he said “You may have your faults. Marcia, but I don’t believe you nre mercenary." Sin* was fingering her clerk nervous ly. “But—but I Illi) mercenary. Dickie, boy,” she said very low. II«* Htareil at her. “ ••.Marcia." Marcia.” he said sharply, “you wouldn't marry During for his money?" She looked tip at him suddenly. “Oh. I don’t know I don’t know! I’ve al ways been |>oor. ami I’ve never had pretty tilings, ami I want them. I want to go into the ballroom all In chiffon an«l jiearls lnstea«1 of in my old xvhlte dresses and my llttl«» chain with the gold heart. Think of it, Dickie— I’ve never had any jewi'l but that, and I want jewels. Every girl wants them, and Mr Dorlng coulil give them to me." But Richard was not listening He took out his watch "Marcia,” hesaiii in a practical way. "have you had four iirvakfast?" She looked up surpri««l. "Why this 'bange of subject?" she faltered. “Bi'cau’e you’r«' tir«l anil nervous, ! and I don’t think you are capable of saying what y«>ti think." he said. "I am going to take you over to the Inn. We’ll breakfast 00 the bled', and Cecile will make us an omelet ami some |H'r- fect coffis'. ami w«> shall have a basket of white mils Wifi you go?" “Why. of cours«'." sni«1 Marcia un certainly. "But It was such a funny thing for yon to think of breakfast right after you propos«sl to me.” "You’ve heard of brea«) and «heese Mid 1.. ' u 1 and lie picked up their baga and vtatted The inn was a little French place where delectable meals were served to those who tired of the tegular hotel fare and where, it was whispered. certain gay souls sat somewhat luteut night. This morning Cecile, the trim land lady. met them at the door with radi ant welcome. .They should have the omelet anil coffee—such coffee! And away she went, smiling, while they set tlisl themselves at a table ou the porch Through the window they could see Into the dining room, where there was one tuble not yet cleared of the half empty bottles, ns well as other evi Half dences of a midnight feast, sprawled across the table lay a man asleep. Marcia, |<eeplng through the win- dow. said. “He evidently doesn’t know It’s morning." Richard nodded. “Let’s wake him tip.” And he began a silvery tattoo with his knife on the glasses. The man yawned, stretched and rais ed a face red and sodden. , Marcia caught at Richard’s arm. “Why." she whispered, “why, Richard —it’s—During!” But before Richard could answer During stumbled out on the porch. gave one look at Marcia and fled. Then Marcia looked at Richard. “You knew.” she said, “that he was here?” He laid his hand on hers. "1 knew, he told her, “that he was no fit mate for you. Marcia. And 1 wanted you to see. What \vould bis money amount ” to if you had to put up with that? 1 He pointed to the wine bottles in the other room. She shuddered. “I—I didn’t really intend to marry him—be-enuse I don’t love him. Richard.” "And you didn’t mean what you said about wanting money?” he questioned eagerly. Her eyes met his bravely. “Yes, 1 do like money. Dick. But I wouldn't sell myself. I couldn't marry without love.” “Neither would I," said Dickie bold ly. “So w hen are you going to marry me. Marcia?" She laughed. “In the spring per haps.” “As if I’d wait.” said Richard mas terfully. “After breakfast we'll go back to the links. And if I win the game you'll have to marry me in Oc tober. and if you win I'll wait until spring.” So back through the clear September air they went anil played nine boles. And Marcia did her best. But a woman is only a woman, and Dick was famed for his good game. And so. after all, the wedding came at the end of the summer. The Same Stock.
