.lack Trnwhridg.' looke.l over the
hedge and frowned. It was old Mr,
lirodie's fault he knew this aloofness
upon the part of his new and charming
neighbor. She hud been gracious when
he had gone over sunn after her ar
rival, to return a kiiten which hail
strayed into his garden. And so exactly
did this young neighbor visualize thfl
"lady of his dreams," that Jack had
fallen in love nr. first sight. If he had
been at nil skeptical concerning thin
fact, time had proven him to be right
The girl's piquant face constantly
hnunled him. His first morning glance
was cast toward the casement window,
and his hist waking thought at. night,
was of her winsome self. The return
of the kitten was followed by a gen
erous homiuet from his garden.
"A bachelor's garden," he told her,
Informingly.
The girl was pleased.
P e r Ii a p s, she suggested, Mr.
Trowbridge would be kind enough to
instruct her in planliug of n like gar
den; she wanted to live among a riot
of flowers. "There was only herself
and Martini n sort of companion
housekeeper," she lidded, and Jack
went home full of blissful anticipation.
It would be a joy to teach thin
lovely one the mysteries of gardening,
a delightful excuse also t' linger at
her side and learn more of the char
acter which nttriicleil him. All the
happiness of "dreams come true" was
promised.
Heniiiiful girls he had known, and
worthy, but not one, who was not
swiftly forgotten. The new neighbor
Willi her wistful eyes alone refused to
be erased from memory- while each
and every thought of her brought a
hopeful thrill.
'Ihe two had become friendly com
panions, laughing mid chatting aeros
the hedge which divided the old houstt
from Jack's new bungalow, when Mrs.
Itrodie called upon the girl and drop
ped her condemning remark.
"Of course," xhe said, "Jack Trow
bridge can't help but have a big head,
when every girl who cornea to thla
town makes a direct 'net' for him."
The new neighbor flushed Indig
nantly, at the Implication. She, at leaat,
determined to be beyond that U8p4
elon. Hence the laler coldness, which
caused Jack's dlacomlilure.
No studied advance, no courteous at
tention upon his part altered the
aloofness of the girl's manner. Ilia
calls at her house were promptly dla
coiiraged politely It Is true, but dla
couraged, unmistakably. Tha happy
