SSGIRL FROM HANKINSVILLE

the broad steps of the veranda. As
they passed the two strangers one of
them: looked co yly over her shoulder
and smiled into their eyes.
Austin touched his companion's arm.
"\h*ry bother looking up your friend
Dorls'" he asked. "It seems to me we'd
have a better time if we spent the
night at the hotel."
"W'il., we'll see."
Vincent's eyer were turned interest
edly down the real leading away fr,-:n
the river and Au.tln's glance ,followil
ithe direction of his gaze. Cnmit::,

cent suddenly. "that that girl is Ilo 1;
(O'born."
"If it Is." Austin answere!d. "I don't
think we'll bother about the hotel,
after all."
They moved to one side as the rrla
reached the stepls. She dlanced :it thivn
as she passed, and nodded pleasant y.
Vincent entered the store.
"I'd like the Osborn mail." he heard
her say.
Without waiting for the postmaste':'s
answer. he hurried out to the porch.
"It's her." he announced with the
careless disregard of the rules of gran'.
mar.
The girl reappeared, a batch of Int
ters In her hand. The two men watched
as she sorted them eagerly, selecting
three which she placed in a small satin
handbag on her arm. She walked lel.
surely down the road.
"rm going to speak to her," Vincent
announced. "Come on."
He seized the unprotesting Austin by
the arm, and hurried after the girl.
"I beg your pardon." he said when
he had reached her side, "but my name
is Vincent Rossell."
S~he looked at him Inquiringly, with
the hint of a twinkle in her eye.
"I'm very pleased to know it." she
answered in Just the kind of voice Via
cent knew she would have. "Are you
trying to flirt with me?"
He flushed ever so slightly.
"No. Indteed." he protested earnestly,
"I believe that I have something for
you."
He fished hastily into the Inner
pocket of his coat and drew forth a tat
teredl letter addressed to Miss Doris
Osbern.
"Will you please read this?" he
asked.
She took the envelope and looked at
it curiously. For a moment she hesi
tated.
'It seems to have gone through the
war,." she remarked.
"I know," he laughed lightly, "but
we've been canoeing for the past two
weeks. and it's been wet."
It didn't take very long for Doris
to remember Kitty Dale and to read
her letter of introduction. She greeted
Vincent pleasantly, but when she
turned to Austin her eye~s opened wide.
"I believe we have met before," she
remarked.
Austin was grinning from ear to ear.
"We surely have." he answered.
"You're the girl from Hankinsvllle."
