THKDAlLrmVELETTE
she Wanted' te get married
By Frank nJwtUtam$
WILL CUNNINGHAM, trudging
Blowzy, ifevii the tree-bordered
read, came te a step at Inst In front
of a charming little .home which sat
back , a little distance from the read.
There was n breed, well-kept lawn in
front of the house, with a neat brick
walk leading from the street te the
bread perch. The house was vine cov
ered and yet new, nnd was altogether
pieasing ami neraeiiKe.
A girl was standing half way be
tween the street and the house en the
walk looking the place ever carefully.
She was a slim girl, a youthful girl,
and she was dressed quietly, yet In
perfect style. As ,she turned, upon
feeling Will's eyes upon her, Will saw
that she was exceedingly pretty In an
animated, Intellectual sort of a way.
Fer a moment Will hesitated. Then
the girl's piquant face lured him. He
tipped his hat.
"Might I get a drink here?" he
queried. "It's het walking in the sun."
The girl looked him ever apprals
Ingly. Apparently her Inspection was
witlufnctery, for In a moment or se she
smiled.
"We'll sec." she said. "I don't live
here myself, but I Imagine there must
be some one nt home. Come," she ex
claimed. Will hastened up the walk te her.
"I judged you must live here," said
Will, pleasantly. "Yeu looked as
though you might be considering a le-
ntlen for a new vine or rosebush or
something."
The girl flashed smlle at him.
"I don't live here yet." she said
enigmatically. "Perhaps I'll never live
here. I don't knew."
An expression of deep worry clouded
her face for n moment.
"De you. knew," she said, "this is
the first tlme in my life I've ever seen
this place?''
The girl's words Indicated a mystery
of some sort. What had brought her
te this house? Why had she never
seen it before if it was possible she
was going te live. here?
"Yeu interest me." said Will. "Let,'
'sit here en the perch while you tell
me ail aoeut it."
It seemed te Will that for a moment
the girl resented this apparent prying
Inte her affairs. Then she smiled at
him again.
"It's odd," she said, "but we seem
te be like ehl-tlmc friends. And yet
I've never seen you before. It really
would help te tell some one the story.
And after we get you n drink "
"Never mind the drink," said Will.
"I'd rather hear your story."
There were several big, comfortable
chairs en tbe veranda. The girl se
lected a wicker rocker nnd Will es
tablished himself in a swing opposite
her. He gazed nt the girl in a friendly
way. Their eyes met and she smiled
at him.
"It's an odd thing for me te be sit
ting here and talking te a perfect
stranger In this way," she said. "But
it's really no stranger than the things
which have happened te me during
the past month or se."
"I'm an orphan," she continued,
"and I've been brought 'up in bearding
schools. It 'was all right at first. .1
bad a fine time and It 'wasn't se bad
at the holidays when I had no horn
of my own te go te because I had a
let of girl friends and wsb always
eeing invltea by tbcm te spend the
holidays nt their homes.
"But things have changed during the
past two or three Tears. I can't stav
in beardlm; schools and colleges and
universities an my lire. AH of my
friends have been out of school for
several years new. Quite u number
of them are married and have families
or tneir own.
"Se about six or seven months nge
I decided that I'd get married myself.
I wasn't in love with any one, but I
felt if the right man come along it
wouldn't be hard for me te fall in love
with him.
"There was a young professor at
uie university wnere l was taking a
pest-graduato ceurse who was fairly
geed looking and who seemed te like
me n let. ,
"We had planned te elope nbeut two
weeks age nnd then '
Thp girl broke off suddenly. An ex
pression of horror came ever her face,
Will followed her glunce nnd saw thut
she was gazing in fascination jtt nn
old man who had turned in from the
street and was laboriously coming up
the walk toward the home. There was
that In the way the old man walked
and In his hvnrlntr which iniiita.
beyond the shadow of a doubt' that
he belonged te the house.
Oh. I Wenit de It T wnn't .In it-1"
cried the girl, miserably. "I'd rather
be nn old maid all my life. Come,
help me get awny from here quick!"
The girl caught Will by the hand
und hurried him off the Miln nf th
perch and around the side of the houhe.
as mey ran tne gin looked back.
"He didn't see ub!" nhe cried. "We
can get awny yet. Oh, I must get
away. I could never stand it te marrv
Vmt old man."

He wrete me nt once that he'd fnllcn

him, and he asked me te marry htm.
He sent me pictures of that duck of n
nuusu mm j. meugac it was wonderful.
But he said he was elder than I am.
Still I thought I'd take a chance. He
sent me tickets nnd everything te come
here. But I never theucht h wnn n
old as that horrid old man who started
up me waiu. And new," here tears
oame Inte her big blue eyes, "I don't
knew what in the world I'll de."
Will took her hand sympathetically
in his. She didn't draw it away.
"Peer little girl," he said. "I don't
blame you for net wanting te marry
that old mnn. Of courhe you didn't
wnnt te marry any one se awfully
much elder thnn you ere. New new
would you think a fellow of my age
was tee old for you?"
The girl gnvc him a quick, shy
glance. Her cheeks wcre rosy.
"Whv, no," alie bifld. Then looked
nwnv shyly.
"What did you say the name of your
guardinn wns?" nsked Will Irrelevantly.
"I didn't say," responded the girl,
tnrtly. "But I'll tell you. His innw
is Will Cunningham."
With his free hand Will reached into
his pocket nnd pulled out a business
card. This cord bore his name nml
his business address. He handed the.
card te the girl without e word, but '
looking nt her intently as hi; did m.
He saw Mie color die out of her fnce,

"Why, what nrn veu doing with his

"It Isn't nnv one's card but mine,"
said Will. "I'.m Will Cunningham,
your guardian."
"But that old man he very evi
dently belonged nt that house,"
"He's my carrtnker," Will explnlned.
"Oh," gasped the girl, as she turned
her face nwnv, presenting only n rosy
profile te Will.
"De de you think I'm the right
man?" queried Will huskily. "De ou
think you could learn te care for me?"
The girl jumped briskly te her frut,
then started wulkiug back toward Will's
