"I think," said She forcetally, 4 *ffcat W is simply shameful." "Oh, come now!" said the man. "Don't you think It rather enlivens the neighborhood? This aristocratic ■ectlon of the towu had seemed rather dull to me lately. By the way, how did you enjoy your trip?" "Bob," said she severely, "don't try to change the subject. As soon as they told me what you had done while I was away I came right over here te persuade you to take them all down." "Impossible!" he cried. "I've got a contract. You wouldn't want me te break a contract, would you?" No, she wouldn't want h'ni to do that. One of the nicest thing* about Dob was his trustworthiness. Moreover, alia didn't know whether the law would al low taltn to break It. "Oh, Bob," she cried In scarow, **wtiat made you put up these unsightly things? Can't you see how they spoil the looks of the whole street? From our veranda we look directly at that big yellow one: 'Why be blue? Eat Chee-Rup Breakfast Food and be hap py.'" were tea is in her eyes. "Oh," she continued, "I was thlflfcto# how happy I'd be to seo tlie dear old home again, and then you must spoil it all! Oh, Bob!" Bob felt decidedly u*com*>rtable, y* happier than ho had for several months.

But to show his Joy might spoil the plan, and It was too early in the game to risk anything. "So," he said, carefully controlling his voice to the tones of polite Interest —"so you did miss us!" Miss them! She thought hew intense ly she had missed theni—and him. Yes. Bob! During the three iuosths of her absence she had come to long for the sound of his voice, the inerry laugh In hla eyes. How happy she had felt when she shw him at the station the night l>efore! Not that she meant to •how her change of feeling toward him. She had refused him too emphat ically before sailing to willingly ac knowledge that she had made a mis take. For a time she would not ac knowledge It even to herself. But she had never thought that Bob would so destroy the beauty of his home, the home she had learned to love. "Bob," said she again, Ignoring his last question, "why did you do It?" "I'm leaving here soon," he said, out wardly calm. "Leaving here?" she gasped. "Yes," he answered nonchalanfly. "I'm going to the city to be nearer my business, and as I don't care to sell this place or rent It I thought I ought to think up some way of making It pay the taxes at least." "Oh, Bob!" she cried tearfully, am biguously. "How could you?" Then she ran precipitately to her own home. Bob gazed after her dubiously. Per haps her father was right, but he doubted It. Of course she had loved Bob's place, and her Ideals of beauty were both sensitive and mili tant. The house and yard certainly did look a sight too. The plan was worth trying. Bob felt that anything that might make her reconsider her answer to the great question which he had propounded to her was worth trylug, and the Income derived from the ads. was not Inconsiderable. The papers had devoted a great deal of space to the discussion of the signboards being installed on such beautiful private property, and consequently the Chee- Rup food ha»l received a great quan tity of free advertising.

Of course I wouldn't tell you If I thought that there was any possibili ty of your reconsidering the answer you pave Bob in the spring. You can't blame the boy for seeking consolation* and they say that she Is very wealthy." The girl forced herself to eat htr salad calmly. So that was the reason In; had taken her homecoming so easi ly. Another woman had captured his fancy. Well, she would keep her ss crct. The next day Bob came over to ttie house for a conference with her father. Meeting him In the hallway, sue ques tioned him as to the day of his de parture; although she hated herself for doing it. "Oh, In about a month!" said Bob In differently and hurriedly. llow different from the way he used to speak to her, she thought. During that month Bob made mnty trips to the city, and each morning the girl woke up to gaze from her windows at the signs with a deep accentuation of the htitred with which she had re garded them on the lirst day of her re turn. To her they began to seem ttie personification of the woman that had taken Bob from her—the cold, calculat ing business spirit. How she ante those signs! It seemed to her as if she would do anything to get rid of them. Must she live within their sight all her life, constantly reminding her of the love she had lost? The thought was unendurable, and she appealed to her fnihee. "I can't do anything," said he. "Bob has a contract with the Chee-Rup com pany, and he must live up to It If only you had been kind to him this wouldn't have happened. To my mind It only shows what good sense Bob has. Tills place has no more attrac tions for him, so why not make It yield an Income?" The evening before the day set by Bob for his departure he called. The flrl was seated on her veranda as far as possible from the sight of the sign boards. ller parents had gone out for the evening, and she received Bob with a strange, sinking feeling. This might fee the last time he would como to see bar— alone. "Bob," said she vrtiefi he had seatad himself at a safe distance—"Bob, now that you are going away, probably for ever, can't you do something übout those awful signboards?" He regarded her qui Ml c ally. "I wish I could," said he, "but yon aaa the Chee-Rup company's contract runs for ten years, and the advertlso ment has proved to be so good that they would not release me unless 1 paid a mim of money that would abso lutely break me." Ten years! A life time! "Bob," she cried impulsively, "I would be willing to do anything to get rid of those dreadful signs!" Bob looked at her quickly. Tills was his hour. Her father and mother had even encouraged him to hope, but he haaltated at wagering his happiness on a short sentence. Nevertheless he must make the plunge some time, and the present moment seemed as propitious as any. "So you would really like to get i*l of themT" he asked. "Well, I believe we could arrange (hat with the com pany satisfactorily if you could recon sider your decision of some months ago." She looked at him unsteadily. "Why, Bob," she said, "I believe that you are asking me to marry you again!" "That's Just what I am doing," he said excitedly. "What's your auswer?" "But that other woman!" she cried. ! He gazed at her In well simulated amazement. "What other woman?" he asked. "That wealthy one In the city—that business woman whom my father said you had on the string." Bob smiled broadly. I "You evidently misunderstood In wtiat ■ connection I had her on the string. Wo I are going to sell her the business." The girl looked at him happily. | "If that's the case," said she, "I sup- j pose I might change mj' answer to that question If you are sure about taking down those signs. You mustn't sacri fice a lot of money to those people, Bob. We'll need some." "No, I'll not," said he as he folded her In hie arms. "You sec, your father and I happen to be the Chee-Rup Breakfast Food company, although wo are on the point of selling the business ; to that woman in the city, and so, I guess, there will be no trouble about , having that contract annulled."
