It. I can't make you fcce how the
thing looks to ma. You knov-lvc
written you all about everything
what this place has meant to me.
Until 1 came here I never realized It
was In me to make good at anything.
But hero 1 have. I'm doing so well
Hint I'd actually have some self re- I

low down trick on Josle Lockwood.

worth It"
"Who? Sam Graham?' fa
"Ho and his daughter" ftirV
-Oh. his daughterl"
"Now, get that foolish Idea out of
your head. There's nothing In It.
Hetty's just a simple, sweet llttlo girl
who's had a pretty hard timo and
sever n real chance in life until I
managed to give It to her. And I'd
feel pretty good about that if Oh,
there's no use talking to yo'ul"
"No; go on. You're very entertain
Ing." Kellogg laughed mockingly.
"Well. 1 have tried to keep to the
terms of our understanding. 1 singled
out this Lockwood girl nnd worked all
Uio degrees didn't say much, you
know no lovcmnklng just let her
catch me looking sadly at her onco In
awhile."
"That's the way to work It"
"Yes, that's the way," Nat assented
gloomily.
Kellogg laughed with delight "Nnf

to me, This working and church go

you've done It This drug store Is a

I always knew was latent In you.
And clean living hasn't done you any
harm. But now you're due to come

all It'll ever do. It's new to you now,
and you like the novelty, and you're
having tbo time of your life .finding

pretty soon it'll begin to stale on you.
and before long you'll find yourself
hating It and tbe town, and then you'll
be back where you started. Now. I'm

"Very well, then; I'll concede a point.
If you really think you're taking a

CUSTOMBlt rame and went
after Kellogg hnd gone up
stairs (o meet Sain Graham,
und then Nut noticed that twl-
Ughtv was beginning to darken the
store.
Traccy relumed to look after tho
store during the supper hour, but was
doitiJited to hoar that he need not re
main, hut could go back to his beloved
Angle.
Now Nat moved to the wludows and
switched on the bulbs behind the huge
glass Jars tilled wltltluted water. Re
turning, he was about to connect up
the remainder of the Illuminating sys
tem when Josle, entering, stayed him.
Later he was glad of this.
"Naf
He knew that voice. "Why, Josle!"
he exclaimed In surprise, swiuglng
about to discover her standing on tho
threshold, very dainty nud fetching
AtUCCT WJLS DIXIOIITEU.
Indeed. In one of the summery frocks
she had brought back from New York.
She moved over to him. holding out
her hand. lie took It with disguised I
reluctance.
"I'm so glad." She sighed. 1 want
ed to sec you to talk to yon alone."
lie bit his lip In bis annoyance, shiv
ering with a presentiment "What
about Josle2"
"About Wednesday night, after pray
er meeting. Why didn't you wait for
me?
"Why ah I had to get back to the
store, you kuow. There were some
checks to bo made out and sent off,
and I'd forgotten them. Besides," be
added on Inspiration, "you were talk
ing with Roland, and I didn't want to
interrupt you."
"So you left mo to go homo with
him?'
"Why. what else"
"You'ro making me awful' unhap
py." JJcr voice trembled. "You knew
1 didn't want to walk homo with Ro
land." "How could I know that?"
"i should think you ought to kuow
It Nat unless you're blind. Besides,
1 told you once."
"True." he fenced desperately, "but
that was a long time ago, and how
could 1 be sure you hadn't changed
your mind? Besides, you know, 1
mustn't monopolize you. If I do"
"Well?7
"Why. if I donh"
"If you're ufrald peoplo will talk
about us, beelng us so much together,
you needn't worry. They're doing
that uow."
"Why. Joslor
"Yes. they are. We've been going to
gether so long. And even now you
dou't seem glad to see me."
"You should know I am."
"You don't act like It."
"It's so unexpected," ho muttered
wretchedly.
"You didn't really think I wanted
Roland Rumotte to go home with mo
Wednesday Might, did you. Not?'
'It seemed so. but that's all right.
Why shouldn't you?'
She turned to him. trembling a lit
tle. "Must I tell you. Nut?"
"Oh, uol" ho cried la
"Please don't!"
"I see 1 must," she persisted
dismay.
"You're
so blind, lt"-
"Josle, don't say anything you'll bo
sorry for." he entreated wildly.
"I can't help 11; I've got to. It was
it was because 1 wanted to bo with
you. There!" who gasped, frightened
by hor own forwardness. "Now I've
suld It!"
Duncan grasped frantically nt
straws. "But you don't really mean
It, Josle. You know you don't" ho
Ilouudered. "You'ro Just saying that
because you you have such a kind
heart and ah don't want to hurt me
ah because"
"Nat," she said gently. looking up
Into his face, "would it make you hap

"Joslol" h exclaimed reproachfully.
"Well, that's tho way It looks." she
nhlrmcil plaintively. "You don't want
It to, do youl"
"Why, no; of course I don't."
"Then why dou't you stop It?' She
watched his face, her manner coy nud
yielding. "Nat," she wild in n softer
voice, "If you like uiu us well us I llko
you"
IIo moved nway a pace or two.
"Ah. child." ho wild, with a fooling
that the term wns not misapplied
somehow, "you don't know what
you'ro snylngl"
"Yes, I do," she pouted, "t don't
bollevo you care anything about me."
"Oh, Josle. pleas"
"Well, anyway you'vo never told me
so." She turned nn Indignant shoulder
to him.
"How could U"
"Why couldn't you?'
"But dou't you see that I shouldn't
Josle?" He turned back to bur side,
looked down nt her. pleaded his de
fense with the tire of desperation
"Just think, you are an only daugh
ter" just what this had to do with
the case was not plain even to him
"an only daughter," he repented "ah.
not only your father's only daughter,
but your mother's only daughter.
Your father ah-ls my friend. How
unfair It would be to him to"
But the girl Interrupted with deci
sion. "But nana wants you to. He
told me so."
Ho could only pretend not to under
stand. "But consider. Josle. Yon are
rich, nn helrotw. I'm n"poor man.
Would you llko It to be said I was
after your money?"
"No one would dare say such a
thing," she asserted, with profound
com let Ion.
"Oh. yss, they would! You don't
know the world as I do. Aud for all
you know they might be right. How
do you kuow that"
"Nat!" A catch In her voice stopped
him. "Don't say such horrid things!
I could tell a woman always coo. I
know you would be Incapable of such
a thing. Papa knows it too. No one
tins over got ahead of pnpa, nnd he
says you are a tine, steady. Christian
m in and ho would rather see me your
wife than nny"
"Josle!"
The Interjection was so Imperative
that she was silenced. "Why, what.
Nat?" she asked, rising.
"The time has come." he declared.
"You must know tho truth."
"Oh. Nat!"
"I'm not what you think me," he
continued dramatically.
"Oh. Nat!"
"Nor what your father thinks me.
nor whnt anybody else in this town
thinks me. I'm not n regular Christian-It's
all a bluff. I didn't know
anything about a church till I came
here. I smoke, nnd I drink, nnd 'I
swear, nnd I gamble, and I only cut
them nil out in order to trick you Juto
caring for me!"
"Oh. Nat I don't believe it!"
"Alas, Josle," ho protested violently.
"It's true, only too true!"
"But you did it' to win my love,
Nat'r
"Ye-cs." Ho saw suddenly that he
had made a fatal mistake.
"Then. Nat, I will be your wife in
splto of nil."
He found hlmsolf suddenly caught
about the neck by the girl's arms,
lib head was drawn down until her
cheek caressed bis nud he felt her lips
warm upon his own.
"Josle!" ho gasped.
"Nat my darling!"
With a supreme effort he pulled
himself together nnd o in braced the
girl. "Josle." ho said earnestly, "I
I'm going to try to be a good husband
to you. And that," bo concluded, sotto
voce, "wasn't In tho agreement."
She held him to her passionately.
"Dearest I'm so glad!"
"It makes me very liappy to know
you are, Josle." Uo murmured miser
ably, aud to hlmsolf whllo she still

Upon this tableau thorn came a bid

and G'riilmin came In, Kellogg at his
heels, was the voice of the latter
that told tlit two they were discov
ered, a hearty "Hollo! Whut'a this?"
that rang lu Nat's ears like the trump
of doom.
In n Hash tho girl dlbcngugcd her
self, and they were u yard apart by
the time that Graham, blundering in
his surprise, miiungcd to turn ou tho
lights at tho fiwltohbonrd. But even
fin tho full glare of them io seemed
unable to credit his sight "Why,

Old Batn ivcmeiod sutllelontly, to
take tho girl's hntitl nnd pat It "I'm
mighty glad, iny denr," he told her.
"I cuucruiulnte yuu both with nil my
heart."
"Aud so will I when I have the
right," Kellogg mldud. smiling.
"Oh, I forgot!" Nut hastened to
remedy Tils ovcrsliitit. "Joslo, this Is
my dearest friend. Mr Kelloag; Hurry,
this is Miss LockwiHid."

she giggled "Pm pleased to meet you.

"I'm charmed. I've hoard n groat

"And Nut, old mnn"-lollogg threw

"I'm a dog, all right," said Nat
gluirtly,
"But we mustn't disturb those young

"Yes sure."
"I've got some news for you, too,
that'll make you happy-"
"Never mind about that; It'll keep
till supper, Mr. Graham." Kellogg
laughed, taking the old man's unit.
"Goodby, both of you goodby for a
tittle while."
"Cowl by."
"Wasn't that terrible?' Josle turned
back to Nut when they were ulou

"I think It wns real nieuti of Mr. (5rn

"I don't mind ono bit I don't want

home. Good night, dearest!" On tip

and kissed him. "I'm so happy."
Half dazed, Nat stared after her un

turned buck to Pete.
