I When Leonard Tremalne came home
from n trip abroad be found that hi*
I father had given up hi* residence In
the heart of the city and moved out on
I to Mount Prosj>ect avenue, where
every house commanded a view and ;
every yard van a garden. Leonard
j reached hi* new home In the summer.
I find i lie the verdure full Mown and the
surrounding* delightful On the aft
I ernoon of hi* arrival he saw from hi*
windew across a hedge that separated ]
j bis father's place from one beside It a
young girl watering some flowers. She i
being pretty, the flowers being pretty,
the grass being green, the sky blue and
the clouds white, young .Mr. Tremalne. i
sitting straddle un hi* chair with bis
arm* resting on Its back, showed no
disposition to turn away from the
charming picture
The girl showed no evidence of be
ing aware that a young ?ian was
watching her She went on watering
her flowers, now and again stopping
to pall up a weed or break off a dead
twig Mr. Treiunlne was tempted to
cough to attract her uttentiou that he
might get a lietter view of her face. I
but be knew that by doing this he
would scare ber away. So he kept !
quiet, enjoying the picture, drawing in |
its sweetness a* the l?*e sucks honey
from the flowers
At dinner he asked his mother about I
the occupants of the bouse next door
?rad was told that a Mr Thorne lived
there w-ith his wife and daughter. Vio
let. The mother was an Invalid, and
possibly this was the reason she had

her daughter appeared to be old enough
! to perform ?u< h duties on behalf of
the family.
j Leonard Tremaine. who was a quick
! thinker, regretted- that this call, which
j under the circumstances might have
i been expected, had not been made be
| fore his arrival, for he foresaw that If
?uch duties were relegated to the young
lady as soon as she knew there was a
i young man in the family she might lie
} ??eterred by maidenly modesty. But
I Leonard was not a man to worry about
J a small thing like that. for. the girl be
I ing in close proximity, he could easily
scrape an acquaintance.
A few days after h!s arrival be was I
putting on the final touches to an aft
ernoon toilet of immaculate white
throughout when, glancing through his
window, he mw Miss VJolet in the |
main flower garden behind the houae j
| again working among her flower*,
i Tieonard. after a last glance in the mlr I
) ror, went downstairs, out through a
islde door and back toward the garage
I Unfortunately for him. the hedge be
tween the rear portions of the two
i places was rather high and cut ofT the 1
j young lady from his view. This ?fl?s
| discouraging, for how could he mx$e
I an excuse to address her when he
I couldn't see her?
After looking about 'or awhile In the
garage, considering how he might
break throurh what hedged him from
the young lady, he went again into the
yard and stood looking in the direction
he supposed her to be* wondering if he
dare look through a break In what nep
arated them, when suddenly a stream
of water came over the top of the
j hedce and <leluge<1 him. From a
beautifully starched young man be was
i transfigured into limpness The stream
was immediately turned ftvrny. Nit not
before the linen It had momentarily
nested upon had been made ready for
a new laundering.
Mr Tremaine ran Into the house and
up to his room, where, while he waa
getting out of hla wet clothes, he saw
through the window Mia* Thorne In
her garden playing n hose on some
planta that had been urorched by the
ran She seemed moch Interested In
her work and oblivions to the faet of
the reception she had given an admirer
who bad gone out for the expres*
purpose of making her acquaintance.
Leonard paused, with his wet ahlrt
pulled half over his head, ami re
marked :
"1 wonder If she did that on pur
pose. How could *V have seen me

the Iroplitoiess of Satan to her At
any rate, sbe has tipaet my plan and ?
relegated a spick and spen suit to tbe
laundry." I
So endipd Mr. Tremainc'a first at. |
tempt to make Ml.?a Thome's acquaint
a nee Tb? next tlm? he saw her was '
at ber window putting on a bat with !
roormooa white plume* in It evidently j
preparing to go out. l>e?trlng to e* i
amine her cciintcnance face to face. ?
be ran downstairs, waited In the hall
till tbrou|[b a side window he saw her
leave her bouse, then be opened tbe
door and readied the gate Just a? ahe
passed It She turned upon bin a mo
menlary Indifferent glance and pnr
*upfl her way without showing tbe
' Alichteaf concent l.eomird wondered If
that *ere the first time she had ever
seen him
Mis* Tliorne drove an automobile,
played tirnnl* then* wns a tennis
court In tllie rvnr of her residence? ?nd
wns quite evf?eri at rnlf One morn
ing Mr. Treimilne saw h?*r go out in
her automobile It was raining, and
the streets were nindd> l,?"o?nrd took
an umbtvlls nisi started down the
street to make some imtvlta^e* Mtas
I Thome's luto was a white one. and.
looking abend, he snw it <-omlng.
Thinking that by making a crossing
he would meet Its driver, he started
from the curb and stood waiting for I
her to *wis? in front of him She did
so. guiding her aoto so near blm as
to send muddy water from her auto's
wheels all over him
"By Jove." he exclaimed, "she did
that on purpose! And now I know ab?
turned th<> hose on roe on purpose too
I'll mnke her pay for this."
rie finished the cr??*lng and atnod ;
swabbing the tnnd off his face, bis
hands, his clothes, with bis handker
chief till If was dlrt'er than the rest
Then be twrntsl and -vent home to get
into another suit On tbe whole, bis
efforts to mnke be acquaintance of
his next door nelchhor were not at
tended wlr.h success He made up his
mind that since bis fair enemy could
not be redm-ed by an attack in tbe '
open be must work from behind de- '
fenses [
Had I-eonsrd not understood the
idiosyncrniile* of the opposite mi he
would hare abandoned his efforts
either In n huff or to deapatr. A* K
was. he pti'pared to boinl>ard the lady "a !
heart as well a* her person. He would '
not pour water or mud upon her. He i
had a scheme worth two of that. He j
hnnted the town for a toy mortar to i
send out ammunition by means of ? :
spring. Not finding anything large i
enough to suit hi* purpose, be had one !
made. After fixing It once be could
pull back the spring till It waa caught
Id a notcti, drop In new ammunition
and fire It again. Having seen that It
was good, he bronght It home and pre- '
pared for action.
From Mr. Treinalne'a window he
could look down on to the Thornes"
rear porch, the latter fronting eastward
Miss Thorite was accustomed to come
out on to Ibe porch about 4 o'clock In
the afterneon. Sometimes site walked j
In the garden: sometimes she sat on j
the porch reading. Early one after- j
noon Mr Tremnine gathered bla am
munition In his mora and. planting his
mortar at his window, awaited bis
enemy's coming At the usual time
she appeared, strolled for awhile orer
the rear (rounds, then, returning to
the porch, sank In * cushioned wicker
chair, took n book from a table beside
her and betfan to read.
Tremalne. Who had his weapon
charged and sighted, let loose the j
Opting. Ho had practiced after night j
fall and got the range. Suddenly Miss
Tremalne found herself deluged with
pnnsles. She bad not recovered from i
her mirptite before another charge I
reached her. this time -Miles of the va|. j
ley She glanced up at Tremalne's I
window jn?t In time to see a couple of
doxen fuchsias leave It and descend
upon her. Then her fair face broke
Into a stnJie. The Inat and more ef.
fectlve charge consisted of rate*. Then
Leonard ptiit his head ont of the Wlo
dow and. smile for smile, addressed
| his enemy:
"Pardon me, hut I thought I would i
, like to make jfcmr acquaintance '* ' ?
"Very happy. I asanrs you. Wbn't j
I yon come flown T"
"Delighted."
In a few minutes Mr. Tremalne *aa ;
seated beside his new friend, cbattinr i
with her as familiarly aa If be had j
known her for yeara. ne tnld be that j
be know t:he first wetting abe had
ffiven him was Intentional. For
awhile she denied It. but since be #aa
disposed to take It good natnredl/ abe
finally confessed. adding that she turn
ed the stfenm orer the hedge at ran
dom and happened to strike him She
seemed to regret spattering mud os
him, but aald ahe was unable to reaist
the temptation
Thla was the beginning of an ac
quaintance between Mr. Tremalne and
Mlsa Thome which continued dnrlng
that summer on the tennla court, In
the garden, anywhere, everywhere on
ihe lady's p.emlsea and sometimes at
the Tremalne*. What the rest of the
ttcry will be or whether there will be
any more of It Is not yet known.
Nevertheless Its beginning abowa Cot*.
naively tliat If a man and a maid
lire next d-oor to each other the titan
la no more likely to be observing' the
Haid than t:he maid la to be observing
tly man And In this Instance the
sterner sex apgieara to be the geniler.
It would never have done for the man
to drench ttie maid with water, thohgfe
it was perfectly proper for the maid
to drench the man But observe the
masculine retaliation Instead of w?
