"No," she decided, "for be ta really
fastidious and Nettle's a hopelessly
common little thing. And yet. If he
can stand me and the dope I hand
out to him"
She did not know, however, that St
Croix, to hla own wonder, never felt
that she waa "common" or vulgar;
not even when ahe manifested ths In
telligence of a sheep or twisted the
English language until his nerves
were rasped; not even when ahe aat
sprtwllng ungracefully with her feet
far apart, nor when, after tasting an
apple, she drew the back of ber band
across her month.
She wag a good actress, but there
was that something Inherent that noth
ing could disguise
e e e e e e e
It was just when, relieved of Aunt
Rosy'a espionage, Meely was begin
ning to feel. In spite of the dangerous
proximity of Marvin Crelghton, more
at ber ease, less Insecure In her equiv
ocal position, that, on that very eve
ning when she sat In the warm, bright
kitchen, peacefully v rltlng letters, she
was to find the complexity and preca
rlonsnesa of ber situation greatly In
creased by the outcome of an episode
which was, at that same boar. In Its
Inclplency on a 8onbury street corner,
eight miles distant
Mr. Sam Schwenckton, bavtng fin
ished the business whlcb had taken
hlia to town, waa about to enter big
car parked on the edge of je town,
and start for borne, when a man stand
ing on the corner, apparently waiting
for a trolley car, approached him.
"Pardon me bow often do these
cars runr the men Inquired In a tone
of extreme Irritation. "I've been wait
ing here twenty minutes !"
"It don't run no cars on this line
after seven o'clock. MUter. This here
trolley line ain't doln' much business
anyhow, so It stops till seven a'ready.
Too must be a stronger here ain't?
or you'd o' knowed that"
"No but I seldom use the trolley.
Today, however, I had to leave my au
tomobile at the repair shop. Are you.

"Tea, elgh mile out"
"Will you, then, for a consideration,
fct me go with yooT
Now as the night waa raw and wet.
It would, Mr. 8chwenrktoo felt be
only a Christian act to offer this
stranger a seat In bla car. Also, he
liked company, some one to talk to
on an elght-mlle drive. But the news
papers were so full of holdup stories
and he waa carrying a good deal of
money wouldn't be be taking
chances?
The man looked so decent, however
(what could be seen of him In the dim
nest) and Mr. Schwenckton bod, aa
always when he traveled at night
brought his revolver with blra
lie felt in bla pocket and surrep
titiously moved bla pistol from bla
right-hand pocket to bis left
"I wouldn't want no alcb a 'consid
eration,' Mister. Just so's yon ain't
one of these here tbuga you can read
about In the papers"
The men laughed. Teu're twice
my size. If I can trust you not to hold
me up, I guess you're safe f
"Tea, 1 guess that's go too. All
right Come on, then."
Mr. Schwenckton felt rather cheat
ed when be fonnd that the stranger,
though sociable and agreeable enough,
waa not going to repay his hospitality
by satisfying bis curiosity aa to who
he was. All the leading questlona
with whlcb the farmer plied him re
ceived evasive answers. This seemed
to Mr. Schwenckton so suspicious that
he frequently felt In bis left-hand
pocket to be ready In case of need.
Ho'wevcr, ke tried to put his appre
hensions aside and to beguile the ride
with friendly talk.
"So yonr car bad to go to the shop,

The atrnnger made a sound expres
sive of his sympathy. Kor a while
they drove In alienee.
"Funny thing happened In the bank
today," Mr, Schwenckton resumod con
verantlonally. "When I went In to
get a check cashed" lie stopped
short In consternation how tactless
to mention having cashed a check I
"What waa ltr asked his conipan
ton.
"Not much a dollar or so. I spent
It" said Mr. Schwenckton pointedly.
I mean whot was the fuuny thing
that happened?
"Oh. that I Well, a lady standln'
alongside of me In the bank she hand
ed In a check and the banker he anld
to her, 'What denomination? and ahe
aaya sort of snappy, 'Well,' she says.
'I'm a Presbyterian, but I don't see
what business It Is of yourn,' ahe
aaya,"
The laugh In which they Joined over
thla yarn aeemed to establish between
them more confidence. Mr. Schwenck
ton, always warm-hearted, waa sorry
he had been feeling so suspicious of a
fellow man and tried to atone by
being aa friendly as possible.
"Waa yoa aver to New York, M la

"Yea."
"That's a place I never seen. But

how yoa like It.' So after a couple
of days she got such a pitcher post
card from him and he'd wrote on It
'Mom, YL yL yt. yl t Pop."
Again their Joint laughter seemed
to bring them sympathetically close.
Since leaving the lighted town, the
road had been very dark, for the
night was cloudy and starless.
'Where do you want out stranger?"
Mr. Schwenckton presently Inquired.
As he spoke, he took hla band from
the ateerlng wheel to have a glance
at hla watch and aa he did so, the
man beside him gave an oneasy atart
With a shock of some horror, Mr.
Bchwenckton's fingers found an empty

The man obeyed with alacrity.
thrusting the watch Into the farmer's
outstretched hand, leaping from the
car and disappearing In the blackness
of the road.
Mr. Schwenckton, greatly shaken
by so narrowly escaping being man
bandied by a thug, bla soul besvy with
sadness at the desperate wickedness
of man, went on his solitary wsy.

his kindness of heart get the bettor

Ills despair over the perfidy of our
human nature deepened as he reflect
ed upon the "gentility" of the thief:
his "nice" voice, his "educated"
speech, his "polite manners" what
with his "Beg pardon," "Thank yoo
very much"
"A alkk one, be wast I can't never
trust no one's appearances again I"
thought Mr. Schwenckton with a sor
rowful shake of his bead. "That's the
worst harm a crook does he spreads
abroad a mistrust of man made In the
Image of Gawd I"
Fifteen minutes later Mr. Schwenck
ton, usually the most placid of men,
confronted big family In the kitchen.

What relation to me la my first cou

says:
Beckoning cousin relationships Is

one another: sometimes they are
called couslns-german, own cousins, or
full cotulns. The children of tint coo

third cousins to one another, and so
on. The child of one's first cousin la
a first cousin once removed; the

"And I don't know who It la to give

was agonized. "If I never find him.
It'll make me feel awful conscientious
to keep his watch I Yl. yt, yl!" he
shook his head and began agitatedly
to pace the length of the kitchen.
"Oh, youll have no trouble finding
him, Mr. Schwenckton," aald Meely
encouragingly. "He'll of course report
to the police and they'll easily trace
yoa up."
"Yes, and arrest ma for a thief
yet !" exclaimed Mr. Schwenckton.
"Ill tell yoa!" cried Meely. "Yoa
report to the police, Mr. Schwenck
ton, and tell them of your mlstske
and that yoa want them to find the
man. That will sues yoo."
Mr. 8chwenckton stopped In his agi

at Meely admiringly. "You're got
the head on yoa, Meely I I didn't
think that far myself. Education's a
grand help to a body In thla here

He went to the telephone, but found
the line "busy."

anxiously. "Yoa must report it before
he does. He has htid a good deal of

Yea, well, but I don't think he'll

It waa at this Instant that they were
all startled by a rap on the kitchen
door, and before anyone could answer
It the door opened and a wet be

man almost staggered Into the room,
closing the door behind him and lean
