Cherry said, rudely and Impatiently. She
wns In her own room, rummaging on the
UDDer Shelf 'nf tha rlnaitt tnw m MApinln
hat. Bho secured tho hat now, nnd ran
llrmArnmntilntial., m,m. .. t.. ... i
tor, to Join Allx, Potor and Martin for
the dally ceremony of walking Into the
vlllago for tho mall.
Anno followed her downstairs sedately,
perhaps a little dashed, presently to dis
cover that this dignified proceeding had
ium nor mo wuik. -iney were ail gono.
Tho houso was very still ; early summer
sweetness wan drifting through wldo
opened wlndowo and doors ; the long day
wan slowly declining. In tho woods close
to tho door a really summery hum ot
Insect llfo was stirring, Hong, In dull
minor gutturals, Jabbered somewhere In
the far dlstanco to a friend. Anne peeped
Into tho deserted living room, softened
through all its pleasant shabblness Into
real beauty by the shafts of sunset red
that came In through tho casement win
dows; and was deliberating between va
rious becoming occupations for Martin
might walk back with the girls when
hor undo called her.
Ho was sitting In the little room that
was still called his odlce, but that was
really his study now, nnd the lato aft
ernoon light, through the replaced rose
vine, streamed In on tho shabby books
and the green lampshado and the clut
tered desk. ,
"Anne you weren t there when that
young chap tumbled But I've been
worrying about It a little.
"There's no question there b no ques.
tlon -that she that Cherry called him
by his name. 'Martlff,' she called him,"
Anne had crossed to tho shadowy
doorway ; shn .stood still.
"It can't bet" protested the doctor,
uneasily. "Did Allx say anything to
ou about it?" . ....
"Sho said that," Anno admitted, drily.
"YOu've not noticed anything between
him nnd Cherry?" pursued the ctuciur.
"A girl might call a man by his name,
I suppose "
' "I don't think there ha been any
thing to notice." Anne stated, in a leol
tone.
, "You don't?" tho doctor echoed, in
relief peering at her. She could meet
his look with a smllo but In htr heart
wore the same thoughts that Cherry had
been Innocently Indulging, under the
rose vnn nn hour ago, and the drratn
that had been heaven to Cherry was
purgatory to Anne Cherry mairicu
Cherry reoelvlng cups and yiescnM nnd
gowns. Cherry. Mrs. Lloyd, with a plain
irold ring on her young, childish hand,
Cherry ahlo to patronize and chaporone
Allx and Anne 1 "I half fancied that
It might bo you, Anne," her uncle added,
"although I know what a sensible little
head you have!"
"I'm afraid I'm a trifle exacting where
men are concerned !" Anne said, unner
standlng perfectly that her pride was
being shielded, but hurt to the heart,
nevertheless.
"Woll. It must be stopped If It has
begun," decided her uncle, "I can't
permit It I'd forgotten how the little
witch grows I"
"He Isn't as. eligible for Cherry as for
me, then?" Anne asked lightly.. But her
smile disarmed the unsuspicious old
man, and ho answered honestly.
"You're qulto dlffcient. Annr. lou
wcro older at eighteen than she'll bo at
twenty-four: you could hold ourown
ou could, In a way, mako your own
llfo! ,She why, she's only on Innocent
little girl; she's got dolls in tho attic;
wo were tensing her about turning up
her. hair last week'"
Again Anne van silent.' It occurred
to her to laugh at tli absurdity of thest
quick suspicions, but they had already
seized upon her with the curlou3 tenacity
of truth ; already she .had accepted the
fact that what yesterday would hae
been the unbolicvnble maximum of
humiliation and hurt wan truo today,
nnd lees than the whole bitter truth '
Sho was not In love with Martin
Lloyd ; shn wns not as susceptible as the
much younger Cherry, nnd she had not
had his urging to help her to a quirk
surrender. But for the first time in
kher llfo she had scon an absolutely
suitable man, a man whoso work, posi
tion, looks, namp, and character fitted
her rather exacting standard, and 101
the first time she had let heiself think
confidently of being wooed and won It
waH all so right, so dignified so fitting
She had been tho light of her uncle's
eyes and the little capable keeper of
his house for enrs; Bhe had been re
minding her own friends of tills fre
quently during the last year or two, now
sho wns ready to step Into a nest of
her own.
Standing there In the doorwav she
tasted the last bitter dregs of tho dream
It was all over Anno wns nt the age
that sets twonty.flvo years aa tho definite
boundary of gplnsterhood. she would be
twenty-flo In August
AUv ennio In: fiom her walk glowing,
and full of a great discovery
"Dad." sho said oagerlj taking her
place at tho supper table, "what do you
think! I'll bet you a dollar that man
Is falling In love with our Cherry"'
Anne, nt the hcud of tho table, looked
pained, but thoro wan genuine apprehen
sion In tho doctor's face
"Where Is our sister?' hn asked.
