Jessica's pay voice ran on reassur
ingly, but still little Mrs. Collier hesi
tated. "If it wnsn't for Madeleine's get
ting all ready for us " she said;
"but I really feel as if we have no
' right to disappoint her, Hen. Isn't
; it just like fate, that the two events
should come together like this?"
"Oh, cruel fate, thou he'st unkind!"
laughed the big man on the couch.
He reached out a long arm und gath

"Don't fret, little Mis' Collier," he
'said; "just leave the governor to this

and included in Aunt Madeleine's in

mi need across the room to Janet with
u stately Hut of her short petticoats
and a distracting smile. She extended
her hand on a level with the dimple
in her chin.
"liov. Ives? Pleased to meet you
aw, really now," she cried, sweet
ly. "Pra-ay be seated; charming
weather."
"Goad!" exclaimed Judge Collier,
heartily; "there, you have Ihe regu
lar high-handed thing. (Jet your bon
net on, and we'll start right off. Mis'
Collier. I'll risk the governor."
"Well, I suppose we must go," the
little mother said. "Hut you won't
let Midget do anything dreadful, Jes
sica? And you'll stay on your dig
nity?" " Till the curtain drops, mumsie."
"Then I'll go and get ready, Hen.
Come, Janet. It's reallv just for an

In triumph and consulted it wisely.

what the table's set for," she pro
claimed. "So he won't be here for
supper, nnyway. It takes half an
hour for Jerry to drrve him up."
"Still, you must have the table all
set for him, Jess In case, you know,"
her mother called back from the door,

make n speech at a campaign rally in
Drlnkwater the next forenoon. Judge
Collier, as the most, prominent eiti
ren, had been asked to entertain him.
Thus it come nbouf. The coincidence
of an Important and long-standing en
gagement at Mrs. Collier's sister, a
few miles away, on the very day of
the governor's arrival, was an unfor
tunate accident.
It was 1 1 by the time thev got awav.
Then Midget woke from her nap and
had to be "bread-and-milked," as Jess
6tyled it. They were both in high
spirits over their little luncheon.
"Think of it, Midge, we're going to
receive a real, live governor, you and
I," Jess cried, gayly.
"Oh, my! You certain possytif he's
live, Jessie?"
"Mercy, yes; yes, indeed. Midge.
And we've got to treat him beau
tifully, you know, so he'll Bend daddy
to congress some day, or or make
him president or something. Y'ou
never caa tell what a governor might
do if you gave him a fair chance.
What we want to do is to furnish the
chance; see, nion enfant?"
The big, beautiful house was in per
fect order, but Jess hovered over the
rooms in their turn, straightening
and smoothing and blowing off imng-
inary flecks of dust. Little Midget, '
duly impressed with the occasion's
solemnity, trotted in her wake.
"There, all that is needed now are
the flowers. We'll go and cut flowers,
Midge, of my heart. Mercy, yes; she
must have a little pink sunbonnet on
when the governor's coming. One
more freckle on your nose, Midget
Collier, and daddy's political chances
would be lost lost!
Out on a wide, shndy Inwn it wns
beautiful. There was nothing to dis
tract one's attention from the careful
selection and arranging of the guber
natorial nosegays. Hut Jessica glanced
across the low hedge occasionally
with suspicion.
"It's holidays. I'm afraid 'Rain's
nt home, Midget," she said.
"Yes'm, so'm I 'fraid, 'cos I know
be is "cos I sawed him this minute."
A mop of football bair rose slowly
over the hedge. Being red, it was like
the rising of the sun, as Jess would
have taken pains to tell him, only she
hud said it so often it wns old. She
went on with her posy-picking with
great dignity.
"Prithee, fnire ladye," quavered a
voice, timidly, "might a poor menial
crave audience, or is it er your
busy day?"
"Yes, it is, Lorain Cox. You mustn't
bother. I'm getting ready for the
am veruor'a recention to-niirht."

IBB, he is; he s n-eoniin !
The
govvynor s n-comin
supplemented
idget, importantly.
"Oh, come off, Midget."
I How Jess Received I
"Lorain Cox, if you don't believe us,
you needn't," Jess cried, indignantly.
After the roses were picked and
tossed into bowls with happy aban
donJessica was a born artist for
flower effects there were the pnnsies
to arrange in low glass dishes. It
took several trips to the beds in the
garden. On the last one Jesa discov
ered a huge placard conspicuously
fastened to the mulberry tree, "Please
do not talk to the motorman," it read.
"It looks a little 'Rainy." Jess said
aloud. Her brown eyes danced with
delight. She exulted in that boy's
pranks. They had grown out of pina
fores and kilts, side by side, with only
the hawthorn hedge to keep them
apart -which it never did. They had
sparred and quarreled and taken com
fort together. The mischief one alone
could not devise, the pair of them had
always been able to compass.
I say, Jess "
"Why, it is 'Paining!"
"Oh, I say, Jess, let'B be sensible,
just to see what the sensation is. See,
I'll be the governor and you receive i
me. Put on all the frills, now."
"Oh, will he come in that way?"
murmured Jess in surprise. "Why, 1
Lorain Cox!" She added. Por she
had discovered his rig. He had on a
t.-ill silk hat and carried a gold-heuded
cane. His tall, lank figure wns
straightened and dignified, and th,
dressing-case in his hand completed
the disguise perfectly. He might have
been the governor himself. The bov
had seen that dignitary and was
copying all his little tricks of man
ner with artful pains. Jess recog
nized the Immitation and shrieked
appreciation.
"Now, then go ahead, practice
while the sun shines, why don't you?"
"Hut I can't see it shine through
that tall silk hat," objected Jess in
nocently. "Oh, look here, don't you see I've
powdered my hair? Call that red?"
Lorain lifted the tall hat for a mo
mentary glimpse of his flour-whitened
locks. Then the "reception" begnn
and went on hilariously. Midget, the
only spectator, was overcome with
shyness at the strange "guvvynor's
impressive manners, and fled into the
house to Bridget unceremoniously
"All right, curtain falls. You'll do,
Jess," sighed Lorain, mopping his
heated face.
"You do very well yourself," Jess
returned generously. "I wish you
wore the governor, 'Rain, honest
dread him."
"Jess Collier' dreads him. A plain
governor. What are we coming to?
"Coming to grief. I feel it in my
bones. I know I shall slip up some
way," groaned Jessica.
"There, there, don't worry. Bless
your little heart, ain't I here? By
mT broadsword I swear to help yon
out of whatsoever scrapes you do fall
into."
"Good boy!" murmured Jess.
It would not have happened but for
two circumstances. Those were Jes
sica's near-sightedness and the gov
ernor's special train. Together they
conspired against her. If she only
hadn't been so proud about wearing

Jessica entered into the fun with hi
larity. Lorain said Jess and fun went
together like a cup and saucer.
She dragged out the great hose and
coupled it on to the hydrant carefully.
Then the good time legan. Midge
shrieked with glee and danced wildly,
just outside the reach of the splendid
curving stream of water.
First the rose bushes got a drench
ing, then the pansit s, then the poppy
rows. And then, but not quite yet.
There's no use anticipating.
For ten, 15, 20 minutes the frolic
went on hilariously. Midget wns en
tertained. Then the gate clicked and
some one came up the long, straight
path.
Jess saw him and smiled malicious
ly. "There he comes, play-acting,
again. Now we'll see," she thought,
"I'm going to pay off all my bad
debts, plenty of 'em! That boy'll And
it's the rainy season."
And with a quick tug at the big
pipe, she turned its stream full on the
advancing figure.
"Won't hurt anything; that ping
hat's an old attic thing, and the coat's
oh! oh, what shall I do? oh! oh!
I'm going to run!"
For it wasn't Lornin.
"It's the govvynor! You've watered
the govvynor!" shrieked Midget, in
wild excitement. "Oh, he's all drip
drencMn'l He's all un-Ironed! He's
drowndin'l"
The hose fell heavily and lay tun
neling a long sinuous trench In the
psrfh anhindrred. Jesa fled in frantic
terror. She did not once look back.
Manners, dignity, responsibility, san
ity itself, deserted her for the mo
ment. The horror of what she bad
done appalled her. She saw prison
bars and stripes looming before her.
The very heavens seemed shutting
down over her head and she gasped
for breath.
Behind the hawthorn hedge the
laugh froze on Lorain Cox's lips. Hie
flery head rose out ef eclipse slowly,
and he saw the worst The spirit of I
knighthood burst from bud into bios- 1
som in his soul at that moment.
How long JVss lay on her bed with j
her fingers in her ears she never
knew; minute? an hour? a week? I
Then she righted herself and got on
her feet weakly. It was borne in
Upon her that she must go down if
she died in the attempt. Somewhere,
out there on the lawn the governor
was slowly "drip-daenchiag." What
was he thinking about? Was he did
governors swear? Did they rave and !
call down vengeance? Did they, oh,
did they carry drv clothes in their
grips?
She was mnde of hero flesh and
blood, but her feet almost refused to
move. She went to the head of the
stairs three times and back. Then
with h gasp she plunged out and down
the stairs, like a little hunted white
anifal.
Suddenly, on the landing, she heard
a laugh, then another. That one was
'Main's. The first one boomed out
again, deep and hearty. She peeped
between the palms in the landing win
dow. They were out there together,
the governor and 'Bain, And Midget
Midget was perched on the gov
ernor's knee. He did not look terri
ble with wrath, and he looked, he
certainly did, dry!
"No, you couldn't call it a cut and
dried reception," drifted up to her
in Lorain's voice with Lorain's big
laugh at the end.
Midge and the governor joined in
enjoyingly.
"Hather a cool one, though." added
'Rain, trying to be dignified, with
bizarre effect. "You see, she thought
she was dousing me Jess is near

He had made the explanation once
before, and added another about Mr.
and Mrs. Collier's absence. 'Rain

sat upon his big, lank figure and
freckled face with becoming grace.
"Good boy!" murmured Jess. And,
taking heart, she went on downstairs
bravely. It was a flurried, meek lit
tle maiden who crossed the wet grass
to the lawn chairs and held out a lit
tle shaking brown hand. Lorain
gasped and sought for landmarks, to
assure himself that it was Jess.
"He's all ironed again," volunteered
Midge, cheerfully. " 'Itain ironed him,
didn't you, 'liain? He wasn't so ve-ry
awful wet."
The governor's eyes danced wicked
ly, but his heartstrings tugged with
pity for the sorry little maid and he
forbore.
"MisR Jess?" he said, grnsping the
limp little hand warmly. "Well, Miss
Jess, I am delighted to see you. I've
put you into my speech already your
strong temperance principles, I
mean!"
And of course Jess laughed. And
Of course the worst wn.s over. It was
a very gay little party, out on the
lawn, until Jessica, by and by, stole
away to make up for her terrible re
ception as much as possible by get
ting the ill-used governor the verv
daintiest of teas.
When the rst of the fnmilv came
home at eight, things bore a peaceful,
successful aspect that assuaged Mrs.
Collier's dim forebodings at once.
Mr. Collier had been undisturbed.
When they were alone a moment, he

"V-yes, daddy, the minute," faltered
Jess, demurely.
"Ah, told you so, little Mis' Collier!

".No. Oh no, daddy; I'm sorrv, but
I ran away."
Jessica!" The little mother's voice
was stern with repronch.
'He was so wet and drippy, mum-
sic, you'd have run away yourself,"
less murmured. And then in real hu
mility she told the whole awful story.
Nobody laughed but Janet.
Thnt evening late, .less stole out to
the hawthorn hedge and waited. Lo
rain was sitting on his doorsteps in
the moonlight, laughing softly to him
self. His eyes caught the glint of
light on Jessica's glasses so Jess had
"gone into" her specs! and he sprang
to his feet.
"Fnire ladye," he began, with his
hand on his heart.
"No, don't, 'Bain; I'm in earnest,"
Interrupted Jess, soberly. "Kneel I
