K' I ; V WMEMI by Roy (Copyright, G. W Dillingham Company, 1909) ' CContinued. He climbed on the lofty imperial of the bus almost as eagerly as the rhild be was trying- to fancy himself. The stage creaked and jolted, and Ihey were off. Chester's eyes were K-ide and bright as he feasted on the many interesting sights of Fifth ave nue. It seemed like a fair new coun try after his two weeks' sojourn in doors. . First came the venders of little tin automatic toys which were performing violently and jerkily on the edge of the sidewalk. Then .the Ur wps full of a strange sweet odor reminiscent again of early childhood. & man was tossing aloft some purple teed from a box suspended iiv'front of him, and filling all the air about him with the scent of lavender. Ches ter's, thoughts went back and : back. Didn't his mother, put away things, nice things, ,in cedar chests with lavender? Of was ' it the . household linen? i Next came a ragged man with two miniature puppies which he was offering for sale. . They had Very pink feet, and very black noses, md Extremely ' round' little tummies; and they were reposing blissfully in the ragged man's hat, apparently sound asleep with their1 arms around each other's necks, completely oblivious of . the .noise and clatter about them. Chester: passed ' on . from . sight to eight,, feeling more and more con tented. There were many pretty girls passing up and down the Avenue, and a "pretty1 girl Is never an un p leasing sight, even if one has pot the remotest interest , In them, as Chester assured himself that he nad not. V' ' , " " f ' j-' The stage lumbered on beneath the freshly budding trees along the East Wall . of ' Central Park, ; and . Chester's lips were 'moving as he climbed down the, narrow -winding stair at the back He was quoting Chaucer, the bard of Mayi with the antique pronuncia tion: , . " The blsy larke messenger- of aay, Salueth" in her song the morwe gray; And fyry Phebus ryseth np so brlghte. That all the orient laugheth of .the . Hghte. ' .. And with his stremes dyeth -in the greves . ' is: The silver dropes hanging .on the . : i . ,. leves. , "He must be a Frenchman," said - the conductor confidentially to one of the remaining passengers.. CHAPTER xxm. . The Hippopotamus. ., Chester made his way over to ate menagerie, following by instinct . the long forgotten .paths and fed' pea r.uts to his heart's content to the monkeys! and t the elephant. Then ha-went Into the animal house,with the big tigers and lions occupying all of one side, and the sleepy hippopor tamus and more fauna on the other, lie spent some time trying to catch a lion's eyes and stare ' him out wf countenance, but ' finally concluded that the huge beast was foolishly amiable, and abandoned the attempt. Then the hippopotamus yawned. Chester has been glad ever since that It did. - Up and lup that monstrous stationary upper jaw appeared to go, end down and down went "the enor mous lower maxillary until it seem ed from the pink .cavernous depths that the beast was going to 'turn It self inside out. It seemed a full minute that its jaws were at the widest stretch, and Chester spoke to it reprovingly. . "How rude," he remarked severely. Take my advice and stop it, or youTi ba arrested for indecent ex posure." : . . : He moved over toward the clumsy beast as he spoke, and was struck by its ludicrous resemblance to the Irish policeman on guard, once It had re sumed its usual blank expression. "Tou ought to ' have him on ' the force officer," he said; - r That dignitary withdrew, without replying .' to the further end of the animal house. His feelings were ap parently ruffled. The crowd that had gathered to contemplat the capacious yawn had slowly . dissipated, and, as Chester turned again to look at the hippo potamus, his heart suddenly stood still. .Then it raced forward again at furious speed, and there was a tre . mendous drumming in his ears. "Miss Twining," he said arn de lighted. I did not know that you were fond of animals." Edith looked him deliberately in the eye. As he gazed, speechless, he was convinced at last that her eyes were purple, and dark rich purple at that. How could . he ever have fan cied them blue? But they lookea sad now no, compassionate. Which was it? ' She had not answered He could not take his "eyes" from hers, and still she did not speak. He gazed at her with agonized entreaty, end ' she turned deliberately to the hippopotamus. " "Hippopotamus," said Kdith slow ly in those silvery, clear, sweet tones v;hich sent a thrill of delight through be air . about her, "Hippopotamus, what would voti do if your fathei hid. forbidden vou . to speak ir a j'cung man, and . and you want-. A Mason. ed to?" "Hippopotamus,"' said Chester with an effort, "under the circumstances I should obey my father." He half lifted his hand to raise his hat, and turn away. "Hippopotamus," said Edith pro vokingly, "what would you do it, added to the problem which I have Just propounded, was the additional fact . that the young man did not wish to speak to you' ' . It was more than human nature could endure. "Hippopotamus,' '.. cried Chester eagerly, "if you give Miss Twining any advice on that basis you are as stupid as- you look. It is a wonder tracks for yawning in her face." . The huge animal twitched its ab surdly inadequate tail impatiently. "No wonder you are nervous and ashamed," continued Chester severe ly. "You should be on your knees, if you didn't have legs like a grand piano.. ' ' j . -v :; "Hippopotamus," said Edith calm ly, "the young man lit question is pleased to be flippant. - I don't know that I want to talk to him, after all." "Oh, Hippopotamus," cried Chester piteously. "the - young man was so surprised, confused, so ' startled. Ee didn't , know what he was saying." "I don't want to. talk to him, Hip popotamus," said Edith, ' '.J iThe ungainly ; 'creature turned Its long rugged back with an air of finality that left no room for doubt as its views on the matter. "Hippopotamus, said Chester "y. have got to listen. One day when I was a little boy I was playing here in; this very park.;: , Three .other little boys pitched into me, and it looked as if they were going to be too many for ma. : The - fight began . by bur throwing , twigs at each other. : At that, juncture a little girl came along, a little girl with slim white hards. I remember because she ' slipped ' off her mittens, and the: way she sailed into those three boys was a caution. They fled incontinently. , That was a. dozen years ago, and I didn't even know the little girl. She just came to my rescue because the odds were unfair. , I wish that I could meet her some, day." ' "Hippopotamus," cried Edith in great excitement, ' "I wa3 . that littl 3 girl." .' ''Were you. reaHy," . asked ,Chestc r quickly; ; ' "Yes, I wonder how T could, have been such a tomboy. Don't you re member how I lost my mitten, and how my : nurse scolded me for inter fering?"'!.'.';' , "I kept, that mitten for a full cix weeks, replied Chester. . -X, lid you really v The nurse told mother, and I was punished for1 be ing a tomboy." . "Tomboy -.girls are the best kind when they have grown up," said Chester. "All little girls should prus through a tomboy period. It is es sential." , ( "How much you know- about little girls," observed Edith. "I . . that is . . . Why, I don't know about other little girls." "All this . theory is built about me?" , ".-v-V ' ' - ' ;' 1 , - "Yes, it is," said .Chester gravely. .' "'But what were you doing in New York? I thought that you were ' a Chicago boy." ' - , ' , Chester's heart leapt. :' She had thought about him then, knew - where he was from. ; . . "-' !;; V "I had just returned from Europe," he explained, "and ;we stopped over here. - It was the most fortunate event of my entire existence." , .,' . "Why ?" -X ' ."You did not ' misunderstand me, however equivocal my position seem ed. You knew that I was telling the truth, and you believed . in" me. You understood how I felt about it all You said so at the time, and I knew that you did. I have cherished that since. Tell me what your father has against me." - : The relapse into seriousness was a tactical mistake. ; Edith paced- about her apprehensively. The .hippopo tamus had betaken itself to the bot tom of its tank, and nothing but a minute section of its nostrils : w.s showing. "Oh," she . cried, - "I forgot. I shouldn't be talking to you. I don't know what father has against you. He just, told me never to ... I must be going." "Our chaperone is still visible," ventured Chester in a hopeless at-ivyi-ipt to restore the old footing. But she had turned like a flash and was gone. ' Checking an impulse to follow her, Chester turned to the keeper in charge: - "If you wanted to tickle the hip popotamus pink," he said, "what would you do for her?" The keeper stared. "Perhaps it'f my color scheme that puzzles you," observed Chester. IV interpret if you wanted to please the hippopotamus beyond measure at no matter what expense, what woul l you do for her?" "Dunno," replied the keeping, eye ing him doubtfully. : "What does she eat'" asked Ches ter patiently. i "Fifty or sixty pounds of hay, ten loaves of b?ead soaked in warm wa ter, . apples, potatoes, and cabbage chopped up into a bran mash," re plied the keeper glibly. "What does sbe like most?" "Dunno." "Which causes her to smile most frequently?" asked Chester. "She's about as fond of apples as anything else." "On the whole she is unemotional, is she not?" Chester inquired. "Huh?" "Is she fond of flowers?" t "Ask the policeman," said the keeper, turning his back. "On the whole," murmured Ches ter thoughtfully, "on the whole 1 don't think I will." The animal house became suddenly cramped for his exuberant spirits, and he hastened forth to walk huge strides along the alley by the bridle path. . What did he care what Perry had told Mr. Twining? . He wou'd see Perry and force an explanation. He would insist upon seeing that check and note. ' He would apologize if necessary. How long since was it that he had been cursing Perry for his lacking initiative, and here ' ie was playing the very, same part him self. He had been sick. That was the trouble. He suddenly felt the. Are and force to clear up this my sterious quarrel, and probe the mat ter . to ; the very bottom. - Who was that on the big grey cob? Two blocks away he caught sight of Per ry's ; erect and graceful figure, hie squared shoulders , and. easy, pose. Perry was a magnificent rider and sat his animal like a Centaur. ' Chester planted himself by the s'de of the bridle path, brimful, of his new resolution. ; In another Instant, Perry had caught sight of him. There was; no misinterpreting Chester's ex pectant pose. An instant's hesita tion, and Perry set spurs to bis horse, and passed Chester - at a fur ious gallop, flinging the mud up into his very face, as the animal swerved slightly away from him. . ; - "Damn," ' remarked Chester casual ly, as he- felt for h.lm handkerchief, "but you can't beat me that ensy, Mr. Perry Langham. . I'm . going to clear this - matter up." - , He did not see Monsieur Eenre Richepin walk silently away among the stark ' bushes, a quietly satisfied observer - of the : scene. . CHAPTER XXIV. ' The Children In the Parle , Goldsmith dropped in on bis way uptown . that 1 evening, t-nd found Chester writing at his desk. "What's this? What's this?" he said severely. "The orders were no work, and trashy literature." "J You'll find several pounds of it under the sofa, Mr. Goldsmith," ex plained Chester, "I was ashamed to leave it lying around." "You are exonerated on that( count then," replied j Goldsmith, "but how about the letter?" .1 "Only one," -said Chester laughing, "and such a little one." .. (To be' continued.
