She had the amused experience of beholding Charlie Benton appear an hour or so before she departed and straightway monopolize Linda Abbey in his characteristically impetuous fashion. Charlie was no diplomat. He believed in driving straight to any goal he selected. "So that's the reason for the out ward metamorphosis," Stella re flected. "Well?" Altogether she enjoyed the after noon hugely. The only fly in her ointment was a greasy smudge be stowed upon her dress—a garment she prized highly—by some cordage coiled on the Panther's deck. The black tender had carried too many cargoes of loggers and logging sup plies to be a fit conveyance for per sons in party attire. She exhibited the soiled gown to Fyfe with due vexation. "I hope you'll have somebody scrub down tho Panther the next time I want to go anywhere in a de cent dress," she said ruefully. "That'll never come out. And it's the prettiest thing I've got too." "Ah, what's the odds I" Fyfe slipped one arm around her waist. "You can buy more dresses. Did you have a good time? That's the thing:" That ruined gown, however, sub sequently produced an able, forty foct cruising launch, powerfully en gined, easy in a sea and comfortably, even luxuriously fitted as to cabin. With that for their private use the Panther was left to her appointed service, and in the new boat Fyfe and Stella spent many a day abroad on Roaring lake. They fished to gether, explored nooks and bays up and down its forty miles of length, climbed hills together like the bear of the ancient rime, to see what they could sec. And the Waterbug served to put them on intimate terms with their neighbors, parti cularly the Abbey crowd. The Ab beys took to them wholeheartedly. Fyfe himself was highly esteemed by the elder Abbey, largely, Stella sus pected, for his power on Roaring lake. Abbey pere had built up a big fortune out of timber. He re spected any man who could follow the same path to success. There fore he gave Fyfe double credit—for making good and for a personality that could not be overlooked. Summer slipped by. There were dances, informal little hops at the Abbey domicile, return engagements at the Fyfe bungalow, laughter and music and Japanese lanterns strung across the lawn. There were tea and tennis and murmuring rivers of small talk. And amid this Stella Fyfe flitted graciously, esteeming it her world, a fair measure of what the future might be. Viewed in that light it seemed passable enough. To be Continued All's Well That Ends Well a? BY JANE McLEAN j They looked strange, all the old j ! fashioned haunts he used to know | ! so well. He tried hard to be im- ! partial and to view the town with I ! the eyes of youth, but at heart he j ; felt a stranger, and a stranger who j was regarding Main with its dust I and its line of little stores with an | eye to their discrepancies. I-.ong ago he had been an eager, | , impassioned boy, in love with life and full of illusions. He had been j sure that he could succeed, and be cause he himself had .been so sure he had almost convinced his tight fisted old father that the old town was too small for the fulfilling of | desires. When a tight-fisted parent ; becomes convinced to the extent of actually parting with hard-earned cash in order to help his son make good, there must be something more than idle talk back of it all. And so Hob gone away to study art, and the raiiroad business which had claimed his father and • his grandfather was left to the mer ] cies of other men. Not that Bob's j father was a president or anything i of the kind, but his job as local sta tion agent paid about twenty dol lars a week, which was big money when it came steadily and one had | an eye for thrift and lived in a lit . tie town. I Bob had made good after a strug ! gle. He had never given tip hope, i and that fact helped him over the ; hardest of his failures. He had known pitiful poverty, he had | brushed shoulders with the poorest j of his kind and had slept in attic rooms and lived on a diet of beans I for days, but he had made good, j That is, according to the standards j | of little old New York, he had made j good. In Miltown, he was looked | j upon with awe, and the wildest j I dreams of the wildest boy had some-1 thing to do with going to New York! | and coming home rich like Bob Wil- j ! °OX. This was Bob's first real visit j 'home. Six years ago Miltown had | i meant to him merely the place | where the most horrible disappoint j ment of his life had happened. For, while Bob's father thought him happy in attaining his dreams one after the other, Bob in reality was the most unhappy of individuals. A girl had brought more disappoint ment into his life than half a dozen setbacks in his art would have meant to him then. She had meant everything to Bob. He thought of bringing his laurels home to her and offering her some thing that no one else could offer her. When he finally received her promise he walked on air. He went back to school resolved to make her proud of him and in less than six Daily Dot Puzzle • 23 •22 I J^\ 2 20 S: ..2 .'>4 30.

Of course he would make good and they would settle down in Miltown for the rest of their lives. Was this what she called living? Was this what lie, Bob, had asked her to share?. Bob was calling on Lucy Chet wynd. She had been Lucy Barton when lie knew her, pretty and very fair, with a voice like a flute and caressing, childish ways. There had been a vague something that had never disappeared from Bob's mem ory, and he was going to clear it up if he could. Not that he had not ceased to care, for of course six years of trying to forget had done something in Bob's behalf, but there was something that Lucy had meant to Bob, that he had never been able to see in another girl. It was that rose color of youth, if he had but known it, but of course, lie did not know it, how could he? The little cottage on Bank street j stood under two large maple trees [and looked cool and shady. A little girl sat under the tree in the yard and she smiled up at Bob with 1 Lucy's blue eyes. The next instant, Bob was inside and was shaking hands with Lucy I herself. But where was the Lucy |he had known? The blond liair was I faded and she had taken no pains to j comb it attractively. Her blue eyes were sharp and the soft lilt of her 1 voice had changed to a whine which [ she tried to hide by being effusive. "O, Bob," she gushed enthusias i tically, "I knew you was in town, ■ I mean I heard you was. And how : does it feel to be successful?" Bob looked at Lucy and wonder ed. Where was the fascination, the i subtle something that he had ' i thought peculiar to Lucy alone? His ( thoughts flew back to a clear eyed • \ woman who had said goodbye to ' | him the night he had left. He , thought of their hours of compan- I j ionship, of real friendship, then he ' I looked at Lucy. The rose colored I I glasses were off at last. Bob Wil -11 cox had grown up.
