"You're not i Of course, you're not 1"
ho said. "Then what on earth do you
mean by saying you are going to marry
him? Is he In lovo with you, then."
"JUcrtl Uert Isn't In lovo with no

when I wa a kiddle, and I had the dlph
therla. once and went to tho Isolation
orsepltal, I did, and done well." Sho
paused. "I've caught most things in

time for falling in love. It'o llko this
Bert you know 'ow helpless he Is he

"He Is certainly not ft genius," Dob
rlngtoniBald. "Not very bright, I should
say."
"Bert's a perfect ijutl" sho Bald
briefly. "He's got to have somo one to
look after him. That's why I'vo got to
marry him ono of theso days, only thero
ain't no hurry. Mo and him havo fixed
It up to get married when we aro forty."
"I oeo," he said slowly "I see."
"Oh. thank aroodnesn for that, then I"
Sunny said. "Now" she paused and
turned to hlnWyou dldn t h
farther."
She held out her hand,
"I'll boo you home."
Ho had his way. Ho saw her to the
door. Thero he shook hands with her.
He held her very small, childlike hand
for a few moments longer, perhaps, than
waa absolutely necessary.
"Oood-nlght, and thanks for coming."
"Qood-nlght, Sunny : and and I think
" ho paused "I think you will find out
you were wrong1."
"Wrong about what?" sho asked.
"About belntr nroof atralnst lovs. I

love It win bo heart and bouI. It will
be a great and wonderful lovo. yours,
Sunny, and ho who wins It will be a
happy and fortunate man! Oood-nlght,
little Sunny!"
Ho wrung her hand and turned away.
Sunny stared after him.
"What's he mean by that?" eho asked
herself. "He's gone off his onion I"
And then she went Indoors.
Tho now revue was a gorgeous pro
ductlon. Max Hemmlngway had spent
money llko water. Ho had laid hlmsel
out to offer hla best to the public, but
one thing was lacking. The popular fa
vorite Miss Lesllo Montressor. was
away playing to crowded houses on the
other sldo of the Atlantic. Mlas Mon
tressor was a big loss. Thero was no
ono else In London qulto up to her stand
nrd. Sho was a personality. Sho alono
had tho power to draw, and Hemming
wny knew It. Graco Blythedalo was
young and even prettier than Leslie
Montressor. Sho was very charming
and very graceful, but she was not Les
lie Montressor.
"Of course they'll miss her," Hem
mlngway said. "They aro bound to.
Even the British public has a grain of
loyalty In Its composition. They'll miss
Lesllo Montressor. I'm nervous about
the Blythedalo girl; she's stiff. Sho
don't lot herself go llko Leslie did. I
hope It's going to bo all right I"
"Considering der money wo hat
spent," Rosthelmer said, "It ought to be
all ride, didn't Id7"
"It ought to bo, but what ought to be
very often Isn't," Hommlngway said. "I
Just hope It's going to be all right."
As the first day drew nearor, Hem
mlngway grew more and moro anxious
and Inclined to bo desDonduttt.
"I dell you." Ilosthelmer said, "dat
song dat feller vat'a his name? sings
aboud der roses Is a scream, yes!"
"Oh. hang him !" Hemmlngway said.
"Yes, It Isn't so bad. It'll go, 1 dare Bay.
But I'm worrlod. I think I've made a
mistake. Rosthelmer. about that BIythe
dale girl. She's nice and pretty and
voung. of course: but that lsn t every
thing. She'B stiff. I can't get her to
Jump about She's stiff. The publlo
hato any thing that's stiff. She don't
fling herself Into the part. Como and
see 1"
The two went Into the wings, where on
the stage a dress rehearsal was In pro
gress. Hemmlngway was right ; Miss BIythe
dale, for nil her youthful chnrrns, was
distinctly ff In the lovemaklng scene
In the cornfields. Sho did not let herself
go.
Sho did not In tho least look like a
country maiden In her print dress and
her sun-bonnet. She looked llko a
smart London young lndy dressed up
in clothes that did not belong to her.
"She's Just nwful !" Hemmlngway
groaned. "Look at her, mincing and
prancing about. Picture Leslie in such
a part ! she would have been 'It I"
''For goodness sake, Miss Blythedalo,"
he said, "do do let yourself got Get
off your high horse. Here, do it like
this I"
He pushed her aside. Ho took her
place on the haycart
"You've got to bo coy and roguish
full of fun. See?" ho shouted "You've
cot to lauch and dlmnle and grin
grin like tho doose ! This huycart Isn't
a 'bus it's a haycart. it's stucK out
here in the country: it Isn't Piccadilly.
Now. then, havo another try.
Miss Blythedalo was In tears. It was
hopeless more hopeleBa than bofore.
"That girl Is going to ruin the whole
thing," Hemmlngway groaned. "I was
mad to choose her. I thought she could
do It I made a. mistake. She's only fit
for a walklngjih part She's great as
Lady MarlgoV Mangold WurzeL the
society youngnady, with four lines to
speak, but she's a helpless .fraud at this.
Bhe cant do it!"
He tramped up and down the wings,
and wrenched his cuff-links oft In tho
agitation of his mind.
"I dell you. old feller, der mistake
we make, yes," said Kosthelmer. "We
oughd to have put dat little Sunny girl
Into dls bart."
"I believe jou aro right. Sho knows
how to bo natural," Hemmlngway Bald.
"But It's too lato now."
"She's a quick study, ain't she?" Ilost
helmer sold.
"Yes. but. hang It. two days, man
nllve! Are vou mad? No: It's going
to go through We've got to trust to
luck. There's the scenery and the
dresses : and. of course. Daglan Is uo to
standard and a bit beyond. We've Just
got to risk the Blythedale girl!"
Hemmlngway s interference at re
hearsal had dono considerably more
harm than good. Before that Miss
Blythedale had been merely stiff nnd
formal : now she wan nervous as well,
and tho combination had a terrlblo ef
fect on her part or Marian Dobbins, the
country maiden. Leslie Montressor, us
Hommlngway had said, would have
thrown herself heart and eoul Into the
part. She would have ceased to exist
In her own personality. Sho would
have become a country girl with a rich
Somerset acccent. ana tho aud enco
would have gone mad about her. Grace
Blythedale was not only snol nar her
part, but she promised to spoil the show.
liemmingway neia nis noau In hla
hands nnd gronncd In bitterness of
Bplrlt. He saw failure before him, and
failure meant tho loss of many thou
sands of pounds, apart from the blow
to his name its a successful producer of
high-class rovue.
"I've ueen a tool i" ne said. "I can't
imagine now wnai i was thinking about
I ought to have bagged Molly Des
champs or Lucy Lane for the part.
Hither of them would have done It all
right: now I've got that stick 1"
"Or der llddlo Sunny girl." llost
helmer said.
"Hung her! She's got no experience;
she's only a beginner," Hemmlngway
said. "I couldn't have trusted her.
She's all right In the Httlo part she's got.
but the vvholo thing hangs on Marian
Dobbins. One could cut out the part of
Lady Maud altogether and no one
would be the wiser."
It was true enouch j Sunny's part had
very little bearing on the plot, such as
It was. It was a small part, but she
mado the most of It.
She looked very small and very pretty
and delicate and graceful as tho run
