I want to see Just how much of a scratch that is, and I can't get the sleeve up high enough," commanded my Gouverneur Faulkner. The tone of his voice was the same he had used to me in commanding that I take his mail to his nice lady stenog rapher, but his face was very white, and his hand that he laid upon the collar of my coat for assisting me to lay it aside trembled with a great degree of violence. "Indeed, my Gouverneur Faulk ner, it is but a scratch, and —" "Qet out of that coat!" "But—" "Off with that coat, Robert!" he commanded me, and before I could make resistance my coat was almost completely off me by his aid, and I was obliged to let it slip into his hands. He laid it on the back of the seat behind him, and with hands that were as gentle as those of old Nannette when dealing with one of my injuries of a great number In childhood he rolled up the sleeve of my nice white shirt with the brown strip of coloring In accord with that beloved and regretted cheviot and bared my forearm, which was very strong and white, but which also ap peared to me to be dangerously rounded for his gaze. 1 was glad that arm was covered with a nice gore which had come from the long slit, but which had now well nigh ceased to run from me, so that he could not observe that It was of such a femi nine mold. "Yes, just a deep scratch that I can fix ali right myself In my own bathroom when we get back to the mansion In time for dinner with the general, by 7.30, I hope," aaid my beloved gouverneur as he helped me again to assume the ruined garment of cheviot. "I was born in the moun tains of the state of Harpeth, boy, where when one sheds his blood for the life of another that other is said to be under bond to his rescuer, and that means a tie closer than the ordi nary one of brother by birth. I acknowledge-the bond to you for all time, little brother. Now drive on quickly to the mansion before we are in danger of being late for dinner with the general. It will take me some few minutes to get you out of that shirt and into your dinner coat. I'll send for It, and you can dress with me." . "Oh, no, my beloved Gouverneur Faulkner! I must go immediately to home and there make myself presen table for a dinner that my Buzz has arranged for me. That nice black lady, Kizzie, will with joy attend on this scratch upon my arm," I ex claimed, with great alarm for fear that that very strong mind of my gouverneur would command me to make my toilet in his company In the mansion. "Please do not com mand me that I shall not so do." "Of course, youngster, go to your frolic with the rest of the babes and sucklings, only remember that I al ways like to have you with me, but command you when it is not your pleasure," answered that Gouv erneur Faulkner to me, with gentle ness. "It is always my pleasure to be with you, my gouverneur, and I do like that you command me," I said to him in answer to that gentleness that had something of a sad longing in it. "And may I not return Imme diately after that supper to that club of Old Hickory for conversation with you and my uncle, the General Rob ert?" I asked, with eagerness.

She had sim ply accepted his attentions and let it go at that. Hundreds of girls are doing the same every day. After all, a man is a man, and means a certain amount of fun and atten/ion, and if a girl is just fairly attractive a man's attention will flatter her, and nine times out of ten she will say yes to this and that suggestion until be comes the custom for him to occupy the front parlor with her two nights a week. Both of the young people get into a rut and neither likes to change things, and so matters Jog along until something turns up to break off the friendship. Lil had forgotten just how she happened to go about with Johnny Dale. But they had met somehow, and out of a chance acquaintance ship had developed a regular habit. Neither Lil nor Johnny thought very much about love. Beyond a few chance kisses awkwardly stolen at the door when Johnny was taking her home, their friendship was free from love making. Lil hadn't mind ed Johnny at first. She had rather liked the fact that the other girls in a community where men were scarce, spoke of him as Lil's man, and It was nice to be taken to dances and to the movies, although in her secret heart Lil would have enjoyed it just as much with another girl. There came a time when little things that Johnny did began to get on Lil's nerves. Perhaps she had not noticed before or perhaps Johnny had been mOre careful, but at any rate he did have a disagreeable habit of manicuring his nails in public and speaking to her carelessly in slang terms. It got so bad that Lil would exclaim pettishly if any one men tioned Johnny's name to her, and the two would frequently wrangle during one of the weekly calls. 'You'd think wo had been mar ried five years or so." Lil exclaimed one evening after a disagreement. Johnny had laughed. "That's right," he had retorted. "I'm even getting that hang dog look that a henpecked husband always has." Lil looked at him scornfully, and her lip curled. Anyone who went by the name of Johnny could never expect to go very far In the world anyway, she reflected. No one ever referred to htm as John. But she did not put her thoughts into words. The rut was too deep to climb out of at present and Lil hadn't had a sufficient boost.

HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Then Into the midst of the story came the other leg of the triangle- Jim Forbes, a newcomer, had been taken with Lil's dancing at one of the evening affairs and asked to call the next night. Lil liked Jim Forbes. He looked big and strong and manly. She wanted him to call, and forgetful of the fact that it was Johnn's reg ular evening she consented. Later when she remembered she remarked carelessly to her mother that Johnny Dale was entirely too sure of her anyway and it was about time he realized that there were other men in the world. "But, Lil," protested her mother, "you mustn't break an engagement." "Oh, mother, you are just deter mined not to understand." "But, dear, you and Johnny have been friends for so long, and he has a good position, and Is such a nice boy." "But we don't get along, mother. Why, I have never thought Of Johnny seriously. You're all just throwing him at my head and I tell you I won't have him." "Seema to me you should have thought of this long ago instead of encouraging him as you have," re marked her mother severely. And Lil was ready to cry when her part ner came up to claim the next dance. " . Well, she thought to herself, she would have to tell Jim Forbes when she danced with him next that she had forgotten a previous engage ment, and perhaps he'll n,ever want to come again, she thought dole fully, and all because of that detest able Johnny Dale. She pleaded that she was tired after they had danced once around the room, and her partner left her in a cozy nook while he went to get her a glass of water. Lil sat back in the seat wearily and then started up. On the other side of the screen a familiar voice was speakinjf. "Oh, Lil's all right." were the words, "but we're just old friends, that's all. Why, we quarrel just like old married people, think of that. I never could quarrel with you, dear." And then there came a silence too eloquent for words. Lil started up angrily, but on reflection sank back into her seat. She knew who the girl was, that empty-headed little Simpkins girl. Johnny had been casting sheep's eyes at her all even ing. "We're Just old friends, that's all." Lil said half aloud. "And I have this next dance with Jim Forbes." And a contented smile hovered about her mouth, for whatever faults Lil had, jealousy was not one of them. Advice to the Lovelorn TEM, HEK ALL ABOUT IT DEAR MISS FAIRFAX: I am twenty-four and employed ae manager of a large concern at a sal ary of forty-two dollars a week. I have been going about with a stenog rapher, a private secretary for the president. We became engaged last Christmas, but she begged me to keep it a secret.
