Halfway doxvn the stops of the fra

j shared with Roresford.

' "Thou 1 supjwso you don't mind If I
take your skates? Thc.v'ro sharper

"Take them, of course."
Hut when Kre<l Anglin had slung the
skates over his shoulder and buttoned
Ion his thick gloves he still lingered.
It seemed as though this were not
what lie had come back to say after

going to put my fate to the tost to

HeresforU Jumped up and wrung his
friend's hand enthusiastically.
"Good for you!" lie cried . "Go In

I can endure the thought of your hap

lo listen to your raptures without ox
pcrlonclnc a perfectly legitimate de

"Thanks, old man," laughed Anglin,
adding: "l ucky we've not set out re
spective hearts on the same sister.
Now. rm Moused if i understand your
Infatuation for Geraldlne. Hut. as long
! as you are her captive, why do you

lloresford shook his head with a
grim smile.
"It Isn't that. You've a ws'.thy fa

There w as auother handclasp, a tlrm
and silent one. Anglin swung away
for the tramp Into the country, where
the skaters wore to assemble at Hl
vrim's pond.
The star studded night closed down
ear'y When Anglin reached tl?e ap
lw>iT','od plaoe the amusement of the
evening was already tn full swing.
The fxpanso of Ice was clean swept
and of nn opaque. turquoise urn.

to l.*<>k after the athletic young tiguro
circling thr? nth their midst with such
easy. * wallow like urace of motion.
Hut I*' notl.-cd neither tbelr presence
nor thi lt admiration. He was looking
for one particular little tignro. She
would wear a short sk.iilnc costume of

was girt will) heavy cords that swung
backward when she raced. The high
peaked cap would make a is ntlvouso
over a mass of fair curls and mis

that e\er m.x-ked the lilueness of ?

"There she is!" he said suddenly to
himself.
, Alone In the shadow of the w Igwam
shaped refreshment tent, api>arrntly

younc form was whirling on heel ntul

(| "Oome with me." he cried as he
daslxsl to her side. He held out his
hands, crossed at the wrists in the
old approved oarry-t he-lady -out-of-town
stylo.

turned their lm|<efu?us progress to one
very delilwate. And then, as he took
a Armor hold of her mlttened hand*.
1 he began, after the manner of many
another lover who has l*een compelled
to force his courage to the sticking
point:
"IVar," he said desperately, "1
can't keep silent any longer. Tou
know how I've cared for you ever
since well, ever since I entered col
lege. Although I've never been obliged
to consider way s and nutans. still ?
I legacy has made It possible for me to
ask you to give me your ptwnlM. t

care about this sort of thing, bat I
ought to mention It. There's only one
question now? do you think you wfft

His wxirds. voice, even the tensity
with which he retarded her tUght.
holding her hands tight pressed to Ms
side, did not escape the girl's alert con
sciousness. Hut she inJwMwl In un
steady accents*. There were treplda- i
tlon In her tone nnd dread, the dread
a sweet girl experiences who hate? to
give pain.
"I'm sorry? sorry? sorrier than I've
over beeu about anything In all my
Ufe." she begau. "I ? I did not dream
It was 1 for whom you? cared. Had I
done so 1 never would hare permitted
you to say? this."
As one stunned he relaxed slightly
his grip on her fingers, while he ac
celerated their speed.
"l>on't worry!" he answered bravely.
"1 must have been awfully stupid to
have fancied? you are sure you're
quite warm enough? We are almost
?t the tent now. I'd better bring you
some hot coffee, <?erla."
They were at the tent. Yellow
streaks of light from Its canvas aper
tures were glinting out at them. The
girl came to a standstill, her hand still
on her companion's arm.
"What was that you saldf she ask
ed sharply.
"tJerla. I suppose I should have said
Miss Trcmaltie," and then, as she did
not at once reply, he wheeled swiftly
and confronted her.
She had dashed back the peaked
hood of her skating coat. He saw a
little, dark, mtgnonne face looking up
?it him in the wavering amber light?
a face lhal looked uncertain as to
whether It ought to break Into smiles
or quiver Into tears-the face of Oerla'a
twin.
"fleraldlne!" he exclaimed as he fell
back In astonishment.
It was her turn to be amazed "Why,
dl<l you think It was OerlaT" she cried
"Sure," he added, with enthusiastic
relief. And then when her merry peal
of laughter had died away he queried,
?Hut how do you happen to be wear
ing <>er1a's costume*"
She laughed again? a relieved aort of
merriment that made Anglln think
suddenly of his roommate.
"Oh, that's what - what fooled you,
was It? Why, we t hanged them Jnst
for fun. But Is Tom"? she flushed
furiously at her slip of names - "I
mean If (Jerla had thought"?
? What!" exclaimed Anglln ambigu
ously. "Oeraldlne, do yon think" ?
"Oh, as to tierla," she broke In, '*?he
Is coming back of you. Ask her your
self." And she skated swlftlf away.
The next histabt Anglln waa racing
a girl in a suit of wine colored velvet.
The peaked cap was drawn high over
tousled golden curls and eyes of deep

"How you stare!" she laughed. "Am
I an uncanny spirit?"
"I've promised to one girl tonight."
he confessed as he whisked away to
the wait* the band was playing, "and
1 don't want to make a similar mis
take again, for she was not the girl
at all whom 1 meant to ask to marry

"Arc you quite sure you're not mis

seph A. Wlllard was Id a friend's law
offlce one day when a client came In

He said that he hnd hired a horse
to go to n neighboring town for B
shillings, hut when he hnd returned
the stable keeper asked him for r?
shillings more.
"What for?" the client asked.
"For the ride back."
The lawyer gave some Instructions,
which the client followed. A little
later he went to the stable keeper and
asked how much It would cost to hire
a horse and trap to go to n place
named Woodvll.
"Twenty-live shillings," was the re
ply.
The client hired the turnout and
went When he returned he came by
train. He went to the stable and paid
the keeper 25 shillings.
j "Where are my horse and trap?"

reply

cried the keeper.
"I only hired them to go there," an- ;
