During the ensuing pause Mrs. Reap
took occasion to call Speed aside.

training-quarters if you will help me

"What is it?"
“I have been trying to get a word

‘about this foot race " The young man
chilled with apprehension as Mrs
Reap turned her dark eyes upon him

< “I believe the latter, but are you
sure you can win?"
I “Abso-blooming-lutely."
“I didn't know you were a sprin
ter."
Speed shrugged his shoulders.
1 “Have you had experience?"
t “Oceans of it!”
Mrs Reap mused for a moment.
“Tell me.” said Bhe. finally, “at what
inter-collegiate game did you run
last?"
"I didn't run last; I ran first." It
■was Impossible to resent the boy’s
smile.
"Then at what game did you last
run? I hope I'm not too curious?"
“Oh no, not at all!” Speed stam
mered.
"Or. if it is easier, at what college
games did you first run?” Mrs Reap
was laughing openly now.
"Why the clear, riuging. rippling
laughter?" asked the young man, to
cover his confusion.
""Because I think it Is very funny.”
■"Oh. you do!” Speed took refuge be
hind an attitude of unbending dignity,
but the young widow would have none
of It
“I know all about you,” said she.
“You are a very wonderful person, of
course; you are a delightful fellow at
a house-party, and a most suitable in
dividual generally, but you are not an
athlete, in spite of those beautiful
clothes in your trunk.”
“Who told you?”
■ “Culver Covington.”
“I didn't know you two were ac
quainted."
Mrs Reap flushed. “He told me all
about you long ago You wear all the
athletic clothes, you know all the talk,
you have tried to make the team a
dozen times, but you are not even a
aubstitute. You are merely the Var
sity cheer leader. Culver calls you
“the head-yeller.’ ”
“ColumbtfS has discovered our con
tinent!” said Speed. "You are a very
wise chaperon, and you must have a
corking memory for names, but even
a head-yeller is better than a glee-club
quarter back." He nodded toward the
bunk-house, whence they had come. ■
"You haven't told anybody?”
"Not yet.”
"‘Yet,’” he quoted
"The futurity'

Suppose you and I keep it for a little
secret? Secrets are very delightful
at house-parties.”
"Don't you consider your action de
ceitful?"
*
“Not at all. My motto is 'We strive
to please.* ”
“Think of Helen.”
"That’s it; I can’t think of any
thing else! She’s mad about athletics,
and I had to do something to stand off
this weight-lifting tenor.”
"Is it any wonder a woman distrusts
every man she meets?” mused the
chaperon. "Helen might forgive you,
I couldn't"
“Oh, it's not that bad. I know what
I’m doing."
“You will cause these cowboys to
tone a lot more money.”
(
"Not at all. When Culver arrive*—■“
“Oh, that is what I want to talk
over with you." Mrs. Reap broke in.
nervously.
“Then it isn’t about the foot race?
You are not angry?” Speed brightened
amazingly.
“I’m not exactly angry; I’m sur
prised and grieved. Of course. I can't
forgive deceit—I dare say I am more
particular than most people."
“But you won't tell?" Mrs. Reap in
dicated In some subtle manner that
she was not above making terms,
whereupon her companion declared,
wa/mly: "I'm yours for life! Ask
me for my watch, my right eye, any
thing! I'll give it to you!"
"1 assure you I sha'n’t ask anything
so important as that, but I shall ask
a favor.”
"Name it and It is yours!" Speed
wrung the hand she offered.
"And perhaps I can do more than
keep silent—although I don't see what
good it will do. Perhaps 1 can help
your suit”
"Gracious lady, all I ask is that you
thrust out your foot and trip up
Berkeley Fresno whenever he starts
toward her. Put him out of the play,
and I shall be the happiest man tn
the world.”
"Agreed."
"Now, in what way can I serve
you?”
Mrs. Reap became embarrassed,
while the same shadowy trouble that
had been observed of late settled upon
her.
“I simply hate to ask It," she said,
“but I suppose I must. There seems
to be no other way out of IL” Turn
ing to him suddenly, she said, in a
low, intense voice: "I—I’m in trou
ble, Mr. Speed, such dreadful trou
ble!”
"Oh. I’m so sorry!” he answered
her, with genuine solicitude. "You
needn’t have made any conditions. 1
would have done anything I could for
you.”
“That’s very kind, for I don’t like
our air of conspiracy, but"—Mrs. Reap
was wringing her slender hands—"1
just can't tell the girls. You—you can
help me."
Speed allowed her time to grow
calm, when she continued:
"I—I am engaged to be married."
"Felicitations!"
"Not at all," said the young widow,
wretchedly. “That is the awful part
of it. I am engaged to two men!” She
turned her brown eyes full upon him;
they were strained and tragic.
Speed felt himself impelled to laugh
immoderately, but Instead he ob
served, in a ton« to relieve her anx
iety:
“Nothing unusual in that; it has
been done before. Even I have been
prodigal with my affections. What can
I do to relieve the congestion?"
"Please don't make light of IL It
means so much to me. I—I’m in love
with Jack Chapin."
"With Jack!"
"Yes. When I came here I thought
I cared for somebody else. Why, I
wanted to come here just because I
knew that—that somebody else had
been Invited too, and we could be to
gether.”
“And he couldn't come—"
“Wait! And then, when I got here,
I met Jack Chapin. That was less than
a week ago, and yet In that short time
I have learned that h« is the only
man I can ever love—the one man In
all the world.”
“And you can't accept because you

other chap isn’t coming—"
“But be is! That is what makes it
so dreadful! If those two men should
meet”—Mrs. Reap burled her face in
her bands and shuddered—"ther«
would be a tragedy, they are both so
frightfully jealous.” Bhe began to
tremble, and 8peed laid a comforting
hand upon her shoulder.
"I think you must be exciting your
self unduly,” said he. “Jean’s other
friends didn’t come. There's nobody
due now but Culver Cov—"
“That's who It is!" Roberta raised
her pallid face as the young man fell
back.
"Culver! Great Bcott! Why, h«’s

“What!"
"Nothing! I—I—" Speed paused,
at an utter loss for words.
“You see, he'll discover the truth.

"No. I intended to surprise him. I

And now to think that 1 should have

"I see. You want ma to break the

“No! no!" Mrs. Reap was aghast.

“Yes. He wanted training quarters.”
"It’s a joke. Isn’t it?"

Fresno bent a warm glance upon the

Helen shook her head with bland

“Then you do dislike

"No, Indeed! I like him—he makes

Helen bridled loyally

"Of course, and I thought them

"How were they Inscribed? He

"Naturally. If I had trophies like

Fresno nodded, musingly. "I gave

"Oh, are you an athlete?"
"No, but I timed a foot-race i once.
They gave me a beautiful nearly-
