Mortimer. He resolved to make the promised call that afternoon, so that'he might pursue the pleasures of his vacation without qualms of conscience for duties unperformed. He set out that afternoon expecting to be received in a darkened drawing-room by an oppressive dignified spinster, and his expectations were fully realized. Miss Mortimer was Juki as he had pictured her, even to the way she folded her hands across each other in her lap. While listening courteously to her precisely worded remarks and while making adequate If not enthusiastic responses. Larry was picturing to himself the stately social functions which had doubtless taken place within those broad, high-celled rooms when Miss Mortimer had been a dimpled girl, Instead of a wrinkled spinster. Suddenly the middle-aged servant who had admitted Larry reappeared at the doorway with a frightened expression. "Begging your pardon, Miss Mortimer," began the woman, talking very rapidly, "but Miss Penelope has fell from a cherry tree and hurt her ankle most awful!" "Penelope in a cherry tree!"

"Very well, Maggie," Mies Mortimer's tone Indicated that the servant was dismissed from further obligation. "Do let me be of service." said Larry eagerly. "Can't I assist the lady to the house?" 'You arc very kind, Mr. Elliott, and I think we'd better make haste to the orchard." Miss Mortimer led the way out through a French window as she spoke. As they hurried through the orchard toward the cherry trees along Its farthest slope, Larry saw a whiteclad woman seated on the ground holding her left ankle with both hands. A large Leghorn sun hat hid her face and shoulders so that not until Miss Mortimer's anxious questions caused the wounded Miss Penelope to raise her head did Larry have a thrill as ho recognized the girl of his early morning adventure. "Auntie, I'm sorry to cause you such anxiety," said Penelope. "But, Nepple, dear, are you badly hurt?" "I think not, though It does hurt when I try to stand." Miss Mortimer looked anxiously from Vif>p nplnA to T arrv and t?Amom_ bered that they bad not been introduced. "Mr. Elliott, pardon me for not presenting you to my niece. Miss Bachelder; Penelope, Mr. Elliott, the garndson of a dear friend of mine." "And eager to be of service to a lady in distress," said Larry, smilingly. A little later, as he was supporting Penelope on her slow Journey toward the house and Miss Mortimer went on In advance to prepare a poultice for the Injured ankle, Larry took from hlB pocket the daisy that Penelops had given him that morning. "This has Indeed proved a mascot," he said, "though I'm sorry that | both my meetings with you have been associated with something disagree- 1 able." 1 "Isn't It rather that your appearance each time helped me out of a I disagreeable situation?" i "It Is kind of you to put It that ' DOINGS OF THE DUFFSA Nti WDeeMHBatofl WAIT w I R16UT Oiir AJYUCB 1 Ai ?II> I ) MWATO-OTiT tri6H TWpoixnt "J a Hoc kb wx- , manbe. ^ 1" I .^S l^U I , ray, but I hope ire shall meet under lellghtful circumstances so often that ill disagreeable ones will be forgoten."
