"It must be a gift, son. Never thought much about It." "Well. oek here, Mr. Howarth," Henry said with a sort of desperation, Tve get a girl I don't seem te e mak--- .t.f-i-iffi hit with.

Trl return for aiding Wenry, Hone would help him te get an audience with Detty, who. ever since she had come upon him In a meaningless flirtation with Ellen Sceble, the soda fountain rlrl down In the village, had pcrslstent fr avoided him. True, he would need Ellen's assistance In working out his plan for Henry, but that was some thing Hetty need never hear of. On his return, Jack sought out Henry ns that youth leaned ever the etnee counter, thoughtfully abstracting a roll of wafers from the show-case. "Henry." he began promptly, "I've ret that little affair of ours cinched. J lisppen te knew that Miss Warren and her brother are planning te climb Smoky Face, Friday. That means you'll have .te meet them with the fliv ver at the feet New. listen carefully boy. Yeu knew the old shanty down b the dnm? Well, park your super-blx back en the read and conceal yeuraeV In said shanty or thereabouts befen WMnlnir en for the Warrens.

Cart me along In the car te the feet c' Smoky Face, entloe brother. Jim In alongside of you, and leave the back eat te MIsb Warren and me. See?' Jack cut short Henry's thanks. Then he beat It down te the village and. ever n lavish sundae, explained the plan te Ellen, a nice little country girl with blue eyes and a turned-up nose. H wasn't going te take any chances en being misunderstood net he, with Detty still te be placated. Se he tel her hew It was all a sort of Jeke, wit' her role a very uncxactlng one, mestlj that of ltstener. When he left her, assured that sh' could get away, Jack was elated. I va"s" all se very simple. Walk te thr dam. chat a few minutes, come away again. He would escort Ellen back tr the village and later be picked up b Henry. Just like that. Henry weul'' have his lessen; hla girl would prefii very simple. Friday proved te be one of thes' wonderful days that are a combination of the best that the end of summer am' the beginning of fall can offer. Over head stretched a sky deeply blue, swep clean of clouds by a northwest wind. H was pre-eminently a day for mountain climbing and the Warrens made an early start for the summit of Smek' Face. Seme time In the afternoon, Jack hunt ed up Ellen and they sauntered dewr te the dam. Arrived within hearlnp distance of the shanty, Jack raised hit voice. "As I was saying, there's something er different about you from ether Blrls." "That's nice," returned Ellen com placently. "I'm glad you think se. ' Gupne you knew a great many glr" "Ye." returned Jack, wondering I Belt had started down from the sum mit yet. "I suppose se but sometimes one lshes for lust a friend a friend who understands 1" New, at that precise moment, either hv a-e'dent or design, Ellen's "hane swung Nese te Jack's, and promptly hi. hand closed upon It. That was the son of thing Henry should de te be popular He hoped Henry could see. At that Instant, an Irate Henry lit erally leaped from his place of con cealment. "Ellen I" he cried, "I wouldn't havt thought It of you I" Jack was tee astonished te speak Hew the d'uee could he have known th leda fountain girl belonged te Henry He hed mentioned a girl, te be sure but well, what rotten luckl He looked after Ellen as she sllppe her arm threueh Henry's and drew hlr away te his flivver and explanations. Then, left nlene, he sat down an mopped his brew. He, didn't suppose Henry would still carry out their llttl plan Ne doubt, Henry thought he hn'1 cooked up the whole mix-up en purpose when, as a matter of fact, he had gem te considerable pains te put himself out for Henry. Oh. well But who were these people coming toward hlmT "Helle, there, Howarth. We made such geed time we get te the feet hours abend or schedule and decided te hoof It back." The speaker was Jim Wnr ren, nnd by his side a fetching Betty In tweed walking aulf and high lace beets smiled Invitingly.
