And Tom Craigle was impatient with himself. That ihe -was expected both 'by Ills fkther and Eleanor Wane, to ask that young woman to marry him during this visit, he was well «wa»e. So, :al80, had been his own satisfied intention. But Again the taunting •wisp of a -girl made of that intention a iperplexlng thing, and the satisfac tion was gone. Yet Tom had only seen ber twice, '©nee in an artistic smock, standing among other students before the painting in the city art gallerfc which they were bent upon copying. Again to the high skylight room of his •own home, whicli his father kept as a studio, Its waHs littered with the in different pictures which were. In the fld man's -estimation, masterpieces mi recognized. At each meeting with the girl, Tom's father had been there, praising her skill as an art student In which ca pacity had begun their uneqiial" friend ship. Tom's visionary father had ever been an eccentric, lovable creature, and the dreams of his youth persisted When all reason for them had fled. Tom's mother married the dreamer and lived -as she might, managing meagerly until Tom, finishing through her sacrifices his school days, had be come first helper, then mainstay of the family. Tom had no time for fancied ca reers, his, the matter of fact, must be successful line of business. Then his mother had left forever the two alone, and Tom, traveling where labors led, was happy' In the thought that his old father might continue still his dreams, fre liome they had shared. Eleanor Vane, Tom*s childhood friend, came to visit the old man oc casionally there, and It was tacitly expected that an engagement between the two would result from Tom's question, when he should see fit to ask it. When, during a fireside talk upon his second meeting, Tom thanked her for her helpful kindness to Ills father, little Gay Chalmers had answered simply. "He must not be disappointed of his dream.

For the telegram which'had sent Tom Cralgle hurrying to the train, bore a message of his father's serious breakdown. Old Oralgie, natlent, fa miliar figure of the galleries, would be seen there ad more. Eleanor fane met the son hi the doorway. "It was to be expected of course," she calmly remarked, "Your father Is quite old." The chill about Tom Cralgle's heart deepened, as the beautiful young wom an returned with a perfunctory smile to her book. And then, at the top of the polished stairs another girl wait ed, little Gay, in her unchanged paint ing smock. Her eyes sparkled at him as with hidden Joy beneatlf their sor row. With all her old impulsiveness, she- caught Tom's big bands and held them close. MIt's all right," she told him softly. "It is going to have a beautiful end ing—your father's day like the glow of stinllght In his 'Day's End' picture.

When Dean Wallace agreed to visit «t his brother's home in the little town of Wolcott It was with the understand ing that Nellie shoold have no girls about for him play the cavalier to. His sister-in-law was a horn match maker, and Dean had been subjected te her intrigues before. It was not conceit upon his part which made him wary, though there was no denying Dean's charm where women were concerned. It w&3 JoJt that the successful young business matt, absorbed In work, re fused unsettling complications. But when Nellie in her own pretty room read her brother-in-law's letter, she pursed her lips and turned to a dark eyed girl seated near. "Our handsome bachelor Dean ac cepts our hospitality," she said, "upon condition that no annoying female crosses his path. "Well, ril write him frankly that you are here, and that he can't come." "You will do nothing of the sort," retorted the dark-eyed person. "But, dearie," Nellie objected, "you came to stay a month with me, and now—" "Now," added the young person firm ly, "I shall go down the street to Wol cott Inn, until the week or ten days of your delightful brother's visit is at an end—then Til come back." So, Dean arriving one beautiful fall evening, found a solicitous brother and sister-in-law only for company. As he started with pipe and book for the glories of the ravine next morning, Nellie, from the doorway,^ ventured a request. "If you should meet Tommy In the woods," she said, "do be nice—won't you. Dean?" Laughingly Dean shook Ills head. "Can't be bothered with' boys," he re plied. When be had opened the book and lighted his pipe beneath the shade of a golden tree, the man stretched lux uriantly upou his bed of dry leaves, then through the pipe smoke he saw a second figure luxuriating close by, a small, red-caped figure who arose angrily at his approach nnd glared at him as she shook the brown leaves from her still browner hair. "Well," the girl exclaimed, her toiie showed exasperation, "I suppose I'm to move away from here, too. Is this all part of the.king's domain?" "I am sure," said Dean, confusedly, "that I do not kno\y what,:pu,.mejM3." a ye!its. bean' Wallace, aren't you ?'*•. j^ejR$ra.

"Well,* he remarked calmly, "there are other pretty spots I located one on my way down, could hardly choose between you might go there. I would be glad to direct yoo." y| The girl drew a long breath. "$! "Thanks," she sarcastically replied, but Iean preferred to take the remark In good faith, and courteously arose to lead the way. After a moment's hesitation the girl followed. When they came to a spot beside the stream, the girl disposed of her guide with a curt nod of dismissal. "This will do very well," she said. "Might. I," asked the man, wlth-be comlng humility, "learn your name?" "Thomaslne 'Reynolds," the girl an swered briskly. "The Thomaslne af fliction, bestowed to please a great aunt I have shortened it to Tommy." Dean grinned boyishly. "If yob are the Tommy that Nell asked roe to be nice to," he said, "I am wtlltng to begin." Contemptuously Tpmmy Ignored the olive branch of peace. Some three weeks later Mrs. Jack Wallace spoke seriously to her broth er-in-law sitting near. "Dean," she said, "we are awfully glad to have you prolong your visit, but a friend of mine has been stop ping over at the Inn, because of your request to me to have no young women about I must not keep her there long er, although she does seem strangely content and happy. Tommy is a dear girir "She Is!" the brother-in-law em phatically agreed. He smiled a bliss ful smile. "I might to know," Dean said, '"be cause Tommy and I are going to be married."
