The owner nnd driver elaborately re moved his (toggles and halted the only citizen who happened te be In sight, Heb Thoreld. "Say, young feller," called he, "what tort of a place Is it out there en the turnpike? Can you get a decent meal, hey?' "On the turnplke?" queried Beb Thoreld. "Te tell you the truth, I didn't knew there was a decent place te cat anywhere around here. Motorists usunlly go en te Burten." The driver-owner consulted the guide book that had been thrust at h,lra by one of the occupants of the tenneau. "White house nt first turn te right en Ilemllly turnpike after leaving Brompton," lie read slowly. "Whv. that .would be the Romilly house. Are you sure that Is what the book says." "These are the words." "That's surDrislnf." murmured Thoreld. "It can't be right " "Drive en," cam a voice from t&a tenneau. "I guess the young feller hasn't wok up yet Loek the plaee ever and If it leeks O. K, we'll try." And the man at the wheel obeyed, leaving Beb Thoreld still murmuring that something must be wrong some where Beb Thoreld. who kept tip his an ccstral home in Brompton and spent liw vacations there, walked en and presently encountered Mr. Jenkins, postmaster of Brompton. "Funny thing," said Beb; "I met some people who spoke about having meals at a white house nt the first turn te the right en Ilemllly turnpike after leaving Brompton. That's the Romilly. Isn't it?" "Cartain sure," queth the postmas ter. "Sartaln sure, you've heard hew 'tis, han't you?' "They haven't sold the place, have they?" inquired Beb. "I thought Miss Susan had vowed never te leave the old plocej she Isn't dead, is she?" "Dead nothing. The hew and the whercfore is, se folks say, that they've lest their money every durned cent of It, and Miss Jane hed te open up the place ns n kind of roadheuso for motor ists. Ought te make a geed thing out of it, seems te me, being as there a no ether slch place hereabouts nnd the autos are ns thick as spatter along the turnpike. It's kinder tee bad, though, losing all their plle. I expect It was feel investment. I'll tell you, Mr. Rebert Thoreld, what them ladles need nnd needed n long time age wns n poed business man in the family, eh?" Beb Thoreld was annoyed nt the post master's rather facetious left-handed nllusien te the affair, new ten years pnst, between Jane Romilly and him' self, .but greater than his annoyance nt tills was his concern ever the less of the Romilly fortune that had made it necessary for Jane Romilly, proud daughter of the nlweys proud Remlllys, te turn her house into a roadhouse and te spend her, strength supervising meals for motorists rude, uncouth, pnrvenug, thought Beb Thoreld, like the one he had just encountered. Beb Thoreld spent the afternoon in n long, slew ramble through the weeds nreund Brompton. lie was net much given te solitary rnmbllngs nnd when he did indulge in one It was when he had much thinking te de. Toward th close of the afternoon lie turned his stcpi toward the Romilly turnpike, down the first turn te the right and up the pathway that led te the Imposing white house built bv the Remlllys four generations age. The deer steed open and the screen was unlocked. Within he could see that small tables had been arranged in the front nnd back draw ing rooms ten or fifteen in nil. Of these five were occupied five cars were parked in the spacious driveway that circled nreund the house. Beb entered and took his seat at a small table. Presently a white clad waitress approached him with a list of dishes offered for that day's dinner. Heb took It with n queer thrill it wnH unmistakably written by Jane Itnmlllv. The solitary meal followed, but Jane Romilly did net appear. Aftct it wns ever Beb ettered ms cant te tne maid, and asked her te take it te Miss Romilly. He wished te see her. The answer wns that Miss Romilly would see him in the old dining room nrmt thn hall. She never appeared before the icgulnr diners, until the maid, nnd her mint icmnincd i" her room. This, thought Beb, was quite in keep ing with the proud spirit'ef the Kemillyb even in the hour el uieir misiartune. Jane wns alone In the old dining -.,.., .,,! c!l rntn from her desk nt IUUIU, 4I.IU -... . - - one side of the room and came swiftly te him with outstretched iinnn. "Hew amazingly well jeu are look ing," Beb could net refrain from bay- ""Yes," laughed Jane. "The work seems te ngree with me, doesn't it?" "But whv didn't you tell me? I might have helped you. Yeu knew I once get you te premise that if jeu ever needed help you'd forget old prejudices and bend for me." "Oil, but it wns tee Inte by the time I found out," bnid Jane qulte cheer fully. "The hnim wns done nnd the only thing I could de was te face the inlsie. Besides, It's been a wonderful experience. Aunt is very feeble, new. She keeps te her room with her at tendant and really doesn't knew. And the work and the people keep me from loneliness. I really don't knew hew it will nil end " ..... Beb Thoreld shuddered. It was out eut out rageeus te think of Jane Romilly tpend lug the eurs of her life feeding hungry motorists. ' He but beside her In the dusk nnd while she talked cheerfully of the weather and garden crops, Beb bat with his head bowed. "Don't talk about such things, he burst out. "Jane, Jane if this hnd only come sooner. I was in love with mpu I nlwnya have been, but I neer dared te nbk you, becau-e well, be cause I did net think that n peer boy like me hnd any right te ask Jane Romilly te marry him. I wns afraid of jour money ami your pride. I knew jeu are Mill proud ,,,,,. "Ne Beb, I confess the Romilly pride is slipping uwny. I've learned n et in ten years, and tills little busl n,..s.i tenture. which really has hceu absurdly profitable, lias taught me that people are pretty mud. the same where ver jeu find them. Ne. Beb. the Itnmlllv fertune ins remained nnd 1 m midin" te it. l.it tho.eW "'' V'M has spoilt itelf - Then um1idn't lese your money; gasped Beb Thendd. "But why did jeu start nil this?" ,,,,... "Why. that s the joke. People den t think I lest my money, de they? Well, that makes it all the mere interesting. Ne, some one of the editors of the (iuide Boek Just made a funny mistake. Prebablj thought our house looked ike it roadheiiMi and assumed it wns. And it does rather. Se the people began te come, and they were hungry and it was such fun feeding them and se hard te explain the mistake every time, that I just Blurted In. 1 wanted te see if I had any of the Romilly bump for hMKlness. Imagine, theso Inquisitive old Bromptea natives Juat making up out of whole cloth that I'd lest my money " "I never would have come te see you If I had net believed them," said Beb, "Fer my own part I'm sorry that they were wrong." Jane Romilly leaned forward and placed a fair, capable hand ever one of Beb's resting en the arm of hie chair. "Perhaps I could manage te lese it if " "Yeu really will marry me then?" stammered Beb. And Jane said that she really would. HERO MEDAL GIVEN BOY Michael IM.atirh Chunk. Kent. 20.
