It was only an exaggeration of tno simple truth, its loved to cook, and his meals wero famous "It's vory pleasant to me to have. Allx so much at home here," Chorry said, when Allx was gone, and tho doctor wandering happily about the garden. "I don't know what we'd do If any one ever usurped our places hero!" She. had said it deliberately: tho fas cination of her rooent discovery was too strong to resist. The man flushed sud denly, For a full minute ho did not speak, and Cherry was surprised to find herself a little thrilled and even fright ened by his silence. "What put that into your head?" he asked, presently, smoking with hla eyes fixed upon the valley far below, "Just being here," she answered. And a-, ho glanced over his shoulder ho met her smile. "You'vo been here a thousand times without ever paying mo a compliment 1" he reminded her. Cherry considered this, her browb drawn a trlflo together. "Perhaps," sho offered, presently, "It's because there are "bo many changes, Peter: my marriage, Anne's every thing dlttcrentl It Just came to me that It Is nice to havo this always the same." "Perhaps Allx will como up here and help keep It so some day," the man said, deliberately. Cherry's look of elaborate surprlso nnd pleasure died boforo his serious glance. Sho waa silent for a moment. . "Why don't you ask her?" she said In a low, thoughtful tone, trembling, eager to preservo his mood without a false note. "I have," he nnswered simply. Cherry's heart Jumped with a sudden unexpected emotion. What was It? Not plensure, not nil surprise surely there could bo no Jealousy mlxod with her feeling for Peter'B plahs7 But sho waa dazed with the rush of feeling! hurt In some fashion Bho could not stop to dls soct now. Only this morning sho had felt that Peter was not good enough for Allx; now; suddenly, ho began to seem admirable and dear and unlike ovorybody else "And ohe said no7" she stammered In confusion. "She eald no. Or, at least, I Intimated that I was a lonely old affectionate man with this and that to offer, and she Intimated that that wasn't enough. It was all " ho laughed "It was all cxtremoly sketchy 1" "Peter, but what docs she want?" There was actual sisterly Indignation In Cherry's tone. -. "Oh, Allx Is qulterlght!" he answered, lightly. "I ought to have said I ought to explain that I had told her, only a few days previously, that I had always loved somebody else !" "Oh-h-h !" Cherry was enlightened. Sho visualized an affair In tho last years of tho old century for Peter. "Oh, and and she didn't love you?" Cherry asked. "The lady? She was unfortunately married before I had a chanco to ask her." said Peter. "Oh-h-h!" Cherry said again. Im pressed, "and you'll never get over it?" she asked, timidly. "Peter, I nover know that!" she added as he was silent. "Does docs dad know?" "Nobody knows but Allx, and she only knows tho bare facts," he assured her. "Oh!" Cherry could think of nothing to add to the sympathetic little mono syllable. Twilight was reaching even the hilltop, the canyons were filling with violet shadows ; the sweet, pungent odor of the first dew, falling on warm dust, crept across tho Brilen. "Finished with tho shower!" shrieked Allx from the warm darkness Insldo thn doorway. "Hurry up, Peter, something mneiiH uiicriy grnna i 'that's tho chicken thlnir !" Ptr shouted back, springing up to disappear in mo uirecnon oi mo uainroom. .nei'i sat on. silent, wrapped still In tho now Bpoll of the pleasant voice, the strangely annenllmr and vet masterful nprHnnnlitv. Tho dinner straggled as all Peter's dinners did; Allx mixed a salad-dressing; Peter himself flashed in nnd out of the tiny, hoi kitchen a hundred times. Kow, In Immaculate linen, camo back and forth In leisurely table-setting. Suddenly everything was ready; tho crisp, smoklng-hot French loaf, the big. brown Jar of bubbling and odorous chicken, tho lettuce curled in Its bowl, tho long-necked bottles in their straw cases, ana cneescs ana crackers and olives and figs and tiny fish In oil nnd iiurruns in nuiea paper mat were a ijuri oi an 1'eters dinners. After dinner they watchod the moon rise, until Allx drifted In to the piano and Peter followed her, and tho others came In, too, to sit beside tho fire. -As usunl it was midnight before any ono thought of ending ono of Peter's eve nings. And all through the pleasant, quiet hours, nnd when ho bundled them up In his own big Ioobo coats to drive them homo, Chorry was thinking of him In this new light; Peter loving a woman, and denied. The knowledge seemed to fling a Btr.ingo glamour about him ; she saw new charm In him, or perhaps, as sho told herself, sho saw for the first time how charming he really was. Ills speech seemed actually the pleasanter for tho stammer at which they had all laughed years ago ; the slight limp lent itii own touch of Individuality, and the man's blunt criticisms of books and mu sic, politics and people, were Boftened by his humor, his genuine humility, and bis eager hospitality. Next (lav she took occasion to mention Peter and his affairs to Allx. Allx turned llery red, but laughed heartily. "If he considers that an offer, he can consider It a refusal, I guess," she said, boyishly embarrassed. "I llko him I'm crazy about him. But I don't want any party In ringlets and crinolines to como floating from the dead past over mv child's Innocent cradle 'f "Allx, you're awful !" Cherry laughed. "You couldn't talk that way If you loved him!" , , "What way?" Allx demanded. "Oh. about his well, his children ' "I Bhould think thnt would bo Just the proof that I do love him," Allx porslsted Idly In her musical, mischievous voice. "I certainly wouldn't want to talk or tho chlldion of a man I didn t ' "Oh. Allx, don't!" Cherry protested. "Anyway, you know better." Allx laughed. "I suppose I do. I suppose I ought to bo a mass of blushes The truth Is. I like kids, and I don't like husbands Allx confessed. wlth Vngaging candor. "You don't know anything about hus bands'." Cherry laughed. "I know lots of men I'd llko to go oft with for a few months." Allx pursued "But then I'd llko to come home again ! I don't see why that Isn't perfectly rea- ""weliTu's not!" Cherry declared al most crossly. "That Isn't marriage. You belong where your husband Is. and you you are always glad to be with 1 "But suppose you get tired of him, like a Job or a boarding hpusc, or any of your other friends?" Allx persisted Idly. "Well, you aren't supposed to! Cherry said, feebly. Allx let her havo tho last word : It was only duo to her superior experience, sho thought eross ?y. But half an hour later, lying wale ful, and thinking that sho would miss dear old Cherry tomorrow, she fancied "he heard something llko a sob from Cherry'H bed. nnd her whole heart soft ened with sympathy for her sister Tl.ev came 'downstairs together the nvt dav In mldafternoon. both hatted "ml' wrapped Br the trip, for Peter .was A tni Cherry as far as Sausallto m tho en?, and Martin by a fortunate chancS was to meet them there at the ferryboat for San Francisco.
