The goddess of fortune, whom he had long wooed In vain, now tam ed her face with truly feminine caprice. From beceo and corn bread Dave bad lieen advanced almost overnight to a New York hotel, where bis day’s board would have bought provisions for a month during his prospecting period. And still Dave was not satisfied. He did not like what he termed “fussy” foods, and the very length of the bill of fare deprived Idm of his appetite. Then It was that Nell Horton came as an angel of deliverance and led him to her home In the suburbs, where Dave devoured all that was put before him and rejoiced In the absence of a bill of fare. ”1 don't suppose that this modest meal w ill ap{>eal to \ou,” said Nell w ith ostentations modesty. "W e are plain peopte out here, and after your grand hotel it must seem skimpy, bat w fia^’ i saw you on the avenue I said to myself, ‘I ’ll l>et that’s Dave Chadwick, and I ’m going to ask him home, no m atter what he may think.’ You hrfvdn’t changed a mite, Dave, since you le ft Lawrence.’’ Now, it la pleasant for a man who realizes that be Is beginning to look old to be told that he does not differ In appearance a fte r fifteen years, and for the first tim e Dave decided that Nell was looking remarkably young herself. H e could not know that Nell f i d carefully studied ths num-rous pic tures of the new Croesus in the news papers gnd bad ha unted the vicinity of his hotel for days Itefore she had encountered him, apparently by chance, In front of the place. The Hortons had known Dave In his early life, before he had gone west to seek and eventually find fortune. When the papers had taken up the newly made multimillionaire, as the week before they had taken up the newly lioni baby elephant of the cir cus, Nell had read all tho stories and had determined that Dave and his ml ” Hons should become her property. - “H a always was a dumb fool,” ahs told her mother. “I f we can get hold of him before the other» do I ’ll be mar- ohcar andxrson manaobr u r ~ Brick Next Door W.W.M.Co.

It was a certain sign that Nell was set home, else aba would have rushed to the door w ith ostentatious welcome. Thia little maid he decidedly approved of. “They w ill be back In an hour,” said the girl. “They have only gone down town on a shopping tour, and they w ill be so sorry to have mlaeed you. Won’t yon wait?” Chadwick hesitated and was lost Hs went Into the little parlor and picked oat the most comfortable chair. The girl paused at the door. “Can I get you anything before 1 g o t’ she asked solicitously. “The morning paper la upstairs. I can get It In a m oment” “I ’d rather talk." said Chadwick comfortably. H a was hungry for con genial companionship, and the little maid was very different from Nell. Sometimes Dave grew a little tired ef Nell and her bold flattery. “I can’t atop," cried the girt. " I t bakhig day, and I have the oven fa ll.” “When Miss Horton doss all ths cooking?” reminded Chadwick. “I aball b iiv .» Investigate." He had I .-i-Li so frequent a caller that he kuew from which door Nell was nccustoiued to put In an appearance, her sleeves rolled up and an adorable dab of flour on her saucy chin. Ig noring the frightened protests of the little maid, he pushed hla way Into the kitchen. In her embarrassment Dora had for gotten that Nell had claimed the cook ery for her own and that upon thia talent she had counted for the winning of Chadwick. __ Now that the cat was out of the b a r the probabilities were that Nell would turn her cousin Into the street.

Chadwick sniffed the spicy odor« and turned to the girl. “So you are the fairy of the kitch en T* he said. “Nell does all the work. I Jnat watch the things when she goes down town," denied Dora hastily. Chadwick put one finger under the dimpled chin and raised the fdfle that he might look straight Into the gray eyes. “Look me straight in the face and say that again,” he commanded. The long lashes fell over the troubled eyes as Dors struggled to make her de nial convincing. Chadwick laughed. “Look here," he said as ba released her chin. “I came out here today to ask the hand of the woman who had made me comfortable. I t la not that I cared so milch about what I had to e a t I t Is not that I cap get a dinner here without having to fight three waiters and tbs maltre d’hote! That wasn’t what appealed to me, thoagb they do say that the way to a man’s heart la through hla stomach. T hat sounds fanny, bat really a man doesn’t marry Just a cook. " I wanted the woman who of all the million peopl^V0 big town cared enough for old friendship to cobm and rescue me from the maltre and the menu. I t wasn’t Just the Idea of din ner, but the home. I want a home of my own, and 1 wanted her to run It for me. But It seems that she did not tell tbs truth about the cooking.
