"Clet even with her, girls," was his brief comment when all the hltheito unutterable things had been uttered most emphatlcallj-. As a ic-ult of the confeience, alter dinner a visit was made to all the new stands In the vlclnltj". II y mid night the Coiots and Madonnas adorn ing the artistic little apartment weie hidden behind posters gay nnd hide ous. The looms weie transformed. The nockwood, old Delft and Venetian glass weie conlgncd to an upper shelf of the china closet. Rot rowed beer steins and jugs of sunflowers and mari golds dtcoiated the mantel shelf. The HiownlnE love letters, the Hu baljat and the rest of their cult wore stoied away in the darkest bookcase, and the literary table was loaded with lllustiated Journals. Tom outlined a carefully planned piograninio for the coming week, even to a bill of faie for the kitchen, and promised to devote his vacation to the scheme. The cook legiotfully gave up her plans of fancy salads and Ices for August weather and became a fouith consptiator. Certain featutes of the progiamme railed foith qualms of con science, but Tom assuied them it was peifectly legitimate, and since every body thev knew was out nf town the chances were no one from the Woman's club or Hi owning elude was likely to run across Hum In their exclusions.

"Of course jou haven't a carriage," said Prlscllla. "but I don't mind tho cirs. Mr. K., who came on this train, said he had frequently ilddcn on tliu limits lino and had never heard of u hold-up, Heie are my checks." Tom ofllclously cnteied the numbers of the checks In his notebook, took a snapshot of the waiting expressman, leniaiklug In a dictatorial way; "Now, look sharp; If those trunks are not up by 9 the police will bo on your tiarlc."

It Is needless to enter Into the de tails of the scheme of entertainment for the week through which this unsus pecting Uoston girl was led by her re vengeful f i lend j, though after hearing the confessions of both sides It would bo hnrd to pa j which suffered more. There was a shopping expedition on Hnlsled street and Mllwnukeo avenue, with an evening at tho Perils Wheel, A long drive was taken through the outlying boulevatd sjstem connecting the North nnd West sides, ending with an ngonlzlng shooting of the chute?. Thero was a sailing party In a cockle shell of a boat off the Dlversev street oler, nnd thero was an evening nt a vaudeville porfoimance, while tho last night, to cap the climax of this little puritan's dissipations, eho was to hear a German band In a typical sumtnet garden. A boiled dinner or sauei-, kraut nnd frankfurters was served, of which I'rlscllla would not eat a mouth ful, even her careful politeness being on tho wane. The conspirators, though somewhat remorseful, continued to act their parts to perfection and were accordingly In high spit Its when .the patty boat tied a Sharpshooter's Park car to the Xorth vvest, where a truly old-country sum mer garden Is hidden away tinder tho trees. In all their adventures the yoim; people had met none of their acquaintances. In the summer gaiden the first one to gieet them on entering was M.'s milkman. He made remarks on the weather and In an Impoitnnt manner usheicd them to a green table near tho band stand. Neither lemonade nor milk was to be had, and foui foam ing glnssos of beci we-e placed bci'mo four people who tiled to look tupremelv indifferent with 111 success. The band began to plav. llich Instalment wns tuned to n dlffeient pitch. The tobacco smoke glow thicker.

The rook decliicd she could not stand It another daj, for she was heartily sick of "echte pumpernickel," pretzels, blut wuist. Swiss clieee and all kinds of sausages, whoso name Is legion. At S o'clock Tom dropped In with a toll of music and a package of lloild spoitlng prints for l'llscllla. She then appeared pale and demure and listened to a dozen negro songs sung lustily bj- tho conspliators. Ii. nnd M. rejoiced In the broken splilts of their guest, who waj thus punished for depreciating re maiks on tliu merits of their cltj Tom temaiked pilvntel- as he, said good night that It was ills opinion her silence was too eloquent for woids.

The male conspirator con tilved to secure the tete-a-tete seat foi the gilp car for himself and the guest and escoited her under his umbrella to thq boat.
