Of them all Marie admired most a tall. fine Idoklng fellow. Brook Rogers, but Mr. Parsons would not even consider him. for he was poor—had he not said so himself the first night they met him? But Mr. John Gould Montgom- ery was a very different proposition. He had his own automobile dressed in the height of fashion talked about New York society people as intimates and of his mother's social position. This was the man for Marie. The night liter they met these men. as they were dressing for dinner. Mrs. Parsons gave out her decision. She must catch Mr. Montgomery. “But. mother." said Marie. “1 don't even like his looks. i wouldn’t be afraid to bet he is a big bluff with- out a cent." . "Now. see here. dearle, l have got- ten quite well acquainted with the manager‘s wife. and she tells me he is the catch of the place.

Marie. do pull in your hips more— yeu are entirely too stout for those present fashions. More—pull in more; and don't forget a' little color on your lips tonight." The days rushed on and Mr. Mont- gomery was doing all a fond mother jcould ask. Taking Marie everywhere and filling her ears with tales of him- self and his popularity—his houses and dogs. and his automobile. Maria was growing to dislike him more day after day. but true to her word to her mother, she swallowed it all down and tried to imagine she was crazy about him and faithfully did all shel could to lead him on to a prowl!

"0, you poor little darling. don't cry. on! but it must hurt. Heavens! it's barbed wire and l'm sure that’s poison. Let me suck the nasty all out. dearle." Quick as a flash she put her lips to the little leg and drew the. trash blood to the surface; the little fellow scream ed on. “There, little man. i guess that will do.

She tore a long piece out of the skirt of her dainty white lingerie dress and started to bind the little leg. Look ing up suddenly she encountered a pair of eyes in the neighboring bushes. "0.

As they strolled through the woods carrying the wounded little soldier they seemed very near together-wen young and very foolish. and their eyes—well, their eyes told the truth while their lips lied bravely. Mrs. Parsons seeing them from the hotel and greatly alarmed at their lot tlmacy. decided at once to hasten matters by having a talk with Mr Montgomery.

Mr. Hill spoke under the auspices of the Men's Christian industrial Magoo and his word pictures were .most gra- phic. interesting and entertaining. As was stated by the Rev. Frank Dunweil Walter. the pastor. who introduced him, Mr. Hill is so well known to Nor- walk people that an introduction is superfluous. Likewise, his interesting manner of presenting any subject is so well known as not to require com- meet. ores: trip. in.
