Lack of satisfaction with condi

Both Mr. S ullivan and the Oregon-

but It is such an easy matter to take
another step. The cause of the com-

the fact that the farm er has for

It was In the hills of Pennsylvania
and a farmer noted for his thriftiness
and Industry usked the minister to
come out Io Ids place on a certain day
to marry him.
When tlie minister arrived at the
designated time he found the farmer

view of the big house they were ap

But It was not a view of Great Rock
which Influenced hltn. Just for a few
ieconds as the heavy car swung
around a curve Robin McKImber had
looked Into the amethyst eyes of a
lovely girl.
He had looked Into
many eyes, but these were different,
baffling, alluring, inviting, repelling.
He had barely time to see she was tall
and slim and golden-haired.
“1 hear,” said his mother's placid
volee, “that the oldest Raxon girl Is
good looking.”
“Good-looking," he said Indignantly.
“She Is a peach I”
“When did you see her?” Mrs. Mc
KImber looked nt him curiously.
“I mean I've heard she Is a peach,”
he explained.
“They lived In Paris for some
yenrs,” Mrs. McKImher added.
“I
Imagine they, are chic."
“You het,"* said Robin heartily.
McKImher sighed and spoke for the
first time for some miles.
“You neurly ran us off the road -a
while ago," he said. "There was a
drop of thirty feet at that point. I
want to go to Washington. I don’t
want to end up here.”
“I must have the wheel tightened,”
Itohln answered. He hoped he was
not flushing. He* hud thought himself
to be above such displays of emotion.
But then he had never seen such a
girl before. Until now he had believed
thal writers who described heroines’
eyes ns violet or amethyst were mere
ly lying. He knew now he had mis
judged them. They too must have
seen the eldest Raxon girl.
It took Robin's utmost composure
fo keep his face becomingly wreathed
In smiles when he was introduced to
the Misses Raxon. They were noth

badly made up Whe,n they suggested
he might like Io see the estate he
agreed retidlly. so readily that the eld
est girl dismissed her sisters with a
gesture. As Hie eldest she was to
have the first chance.
Robin saw the golden girl as he
crossed the golf links.
"One of your house guests?" he
asked, ns he hoped, without apparent
Interest.
"That’s Miss Brown," said the Rux-
on girl. "No, she Isn't a guest.”
"A neighbor perhaps?"
The eldest Miss Raxon laughed mn-
llelottsly.
"She’s n sort of housekeeper-secre
tary. Mother nnd we girls haven’t
time to think about ordering meHls or
firing servants, so we hired her."
Miss Brown had a mnshle nnd was
practicing short approaches.
"Of all Hie nerve," said Oertrude
Raxon. "I'll see mother stops that.
She can't Iparn how to play golf here."
Robin watched Miss Brown swing.
The bnll cleared three pine trees and
nestled within putting distance of the
hole. As pretty a stroke ns he, a

"I Imagine she hus learnt a good bit
of golf somewhere else," he said dryly.

“What was that?” There wns a
