It was during this period, between the Kaster vacation and the eutl of the spring school term, that Holuud liar uette's animosity toward Duncan be came virulent Josle, of course, was prompt to oust Angle Tu thill from ber place In the choir. After that she sang with Nat on Friday nights as well as Wednes days uud twice per Sunday. Hetween whiles she was u pretty constant pa tron of the store. There was no longer the least doubt In the collective mind of thu town as to the Inclination of Josle's affections. The culmination came the day before Hetty was to return a day late in May, I remember, and a Friday at that It began along toward evening. Dun can, alone In the store, was busy be hind the prescription counter. Ab sorbed with his task, he thought him self quite alone until a well kenned voice reached bis ear. "Well!"

"1 knew It! Trust your Uucle nar ry." Kellogg waited a time for fur ther particulars, but Duncan seemed stuck. "And you've made a stroug play for the foud attectious of Lock wood's daughter" "Certainly not!" "Not?" "You forget your rules." Nat grin ned, whimsical. "1 let her to make a play for me." "Of couio. My mistake. Hut bow has It worked" "Oh. immense!" Duncan's tone, however, was wholly destitute of en thusiasm, He stuck his bauds tu his troupers pockets and 'half turucd away rrom his friend, looking out of the window. Kellogg smiled secretly.

"You ready to spend your life here slaving away In this measly store" Duncnu grunted Indignantly. "Hold on, now. Dou't you call this a measly store.
