He atooi>ed aud picked it up-a lace
edged cobweb handkerchief, eluslvely
fragrant and marked with a daintily
•mbroldercd "Kate."
Harper watched the couples gliding
by him. "Jane—Gladys—Anne," he
murmured. "Dorothy lsabel Ruth.
Now, which of the hundred I don't
know Id Kate? Kate!"' he repeated
musingly.
The music stopped with a crash, and
the young lawyer mingled with the
promei adlug throng, a frowning, pre
occupied flipresßlou in his eyes.
"Look at that coat of Ted Harper's,
Miss Cavanaugb," drawled a gilded
youth to ills companion. "He cares as
little for clothes that fit as 1"
"For anything else, Reggie." she com
pleted. "He's too good looking to need
to care. He's like the lilies. Not that
he doesn't toil and spin," she added
quickly. "He's worth a dozen of you
luzy society boys is Theodore Harper!"
Her voice was low. but tbe passing
owner of the name turned suddenly
aud came back with outstretched hand.
"Rena! I was afraid you hadn't
come. Can't I have this dance?"
"I saved It for you, Ted. And we'll
talk—l know you'd rather."
"Good girl!" he replied gratefully aa
he escorted her to the moonlit piazza.
There, with the music softened by dis
tance, he wag content. He even forgot
the mystery of Kate while lie and
Reua laughed and chatted.
"Now that you are getting rich and
famous, Teddy, you ought to marry.
You're plenty old enough- I know your
age to a minute."
"And I yours, my dear! I haven't
forgotten being dragged to see you
when you were three weeks old nor
how I cried when our mothers made
Bf kiss you!"
"Poor boy! It has been a long friend
ship, Ted. It would have broken my
heart if you had taken whittled lingers
and love affairs to any other girl."
"Oh, by Jove, that reminds me! I'm
In love again, Rena!"
Rena's silvery laugh was anything
but credulous.
"I am, honestly. Aren't you inter
ested this time?"
"Profoundly! Who Is the happy
lady ?"
"Her name is Kate."
"Kate—what?"
"I don't know."
"Well, really, Teddy, what do you
know about her?"
"This!" said Harper, laying some
thing in her soft hand. Rena held the
handkerchief up to tbe moonlight.
"You always were susceptible, Ted,
but—to fall In love with a bit of linen
and lace!"
"I haven't. It's the suggestion, the
atmosphere, the—the"—
"The Violette de Parme?" suggested
Rena helpfully. "We all nso it, you
know."
"Rena, you're heartless! I'd counted
en your help."
"Teddy, what is it you want me to
dor
"To tell me all the Kates who may
possibly have been in this jam tonight
Then I'll devote myself between briefs
to narrowing the Inquiry."
"Kate Simpson, Kate Ray, Kate"—
"Hold on, Rena! One at a time,
please."
"Very well. Katie Simpson you ought
to know. You went to dancing school
irlth her. She has dimples."
"She's not the Kate I'm after.l re
member her now. Dimples In a baby
are ail right, but—bow about Kate
Ray?"
"Engaged to Reggy Van Dyke. Yon
knew that, of course."
"Of course I didn't. Who uext?"
"Kate Delemater, a new girl In town;
handsome, tall, black eyes, awfully
clever. Shall I take you In and In
troduce you?"
"Thanks, I can wait. I'll have some
one of the fellows get permission to
take me around for a call. If she
doesn't prove to be the real Kate I'll
come to you, say Friday, for more
clews."
"You might come in any case. I
shall be wild to know. Yes, really," in
»*piy to bis protest as she arose, "I
must go In now."
Harper offered a reluctant arm, and
they passed from the freshness of the
June night to the glare and gayety
within.

The October evening was cool, and
Harper found Rena by a Are of snap
ping hickory.
'Tm too delightfully weary to rise,"
■he said "I've been in the country all
day. Look!" with a comprehensive
wave of her hand. The library was
aglow with lavish masses of color—the
orange and scarlet of maple, the crim
son of sumac, the purple and russet of
eak and beech. "This Is my October
carnival. I always celebrate when the
autumn gets into my blood Oh, the
glory of the woods today, Teddy!" She
leaned forward to lay a fagot on the
eoals. The seasoned wood burst into a
whirl of blue and yellow flame Harper
watched her face curiously as she talk
ad. "All summer these leaves have
baen quiet, contented little dreamers.
Today they are new creatures, glorious.
It's the transfiguration of their lives,
what they have lx>en waiting for nI!
these tranquil weeks."
"The autumn has gon«> into your
blood, Rena. I hardly know you to
night."
Her thougbtfulness vanished
"What of Kate?" she laughed.
"Oh—Kate! I'm tired of this folde
ml about Kate."
"Ungrateful! When I've spent my
whole summer finding you Kates."
"You have been very good. The fault
la In the Kates." He took a notebook
from his pock«t and laid It open In her
lap, leaning against the back of her
chair to look over her shoulder as she
ran her finger down the neat list.
"Katie Simpson—dimples; Kate Ray
—engaged to Reggie Van Dyke; Kate
Dslemater-I hardly dare mention her,
Teddy!"
"You have reason to blush. You
know how I abominate the bohemiun
girl who smokes cigarettes ami is al
ways stopping on the verge."
"Didn't yon find her ( lever and hand
some?"
"Ob, very! Who next?"
"Kate Randall Mother suggested
ber You did like iter a bit, I remem
ber."
"I liked her a great deal. She's a
sensible, modest, well behaved young
woman. But she's not Kate."
Rena sighed patiently.
"What was the matter with Kittie
Porueroy? There Isn't a dearer, sweet
el, prettier little girl In'
"I'm not looking for a dear, sweet,
paalty little glr! "
"What sort of a girl are you looking
for. Ted?"
Harper mused in smiling silence, his
eyes Idly watching a trembling silver
butterfly in her hair.
"I think she's tall and has durk eyes.
She's well bred, but not conventional.
She's honest and kind. She has brains
and a sense of humor. She"— He
broke off suddenly. "I have it. Rena!
Find me a Kate Just like you, and I
surrender tbe handkerchief."
"And your heart?"
The light words bad an unfamiliar
tremor in them, like that of the butter
fly's filigree wings. Something sweet
end sudden and unforeseen swept over
Harper's heart. He was looking down
at tbe leaves in her lap, and fragments
of what she had said of them came
back to blm. "All summer contented
dreamers today new creatures the
transfiguration of their live#—what
they have been waiting for all these
tranquil weeks."
"Reua!" lie whispered, beuding lower
over the silver butterfly. And then, as
6he looked up Into his face with star
tled eyes, "1 believe It is you l love!"
ha added simply.
"And Kate?" Her eyes smiled,
though her lashes were still wet
"Kate was an airy nothing."
"Dear, stupid boy!" Rising, she
crossed the room and brought back a
great Bible which she laid on his knee.
Perching on the arm of bis chair, she
opened the volume at tbe pages of fam
ily record ami laid a finger on one of
the names.
"Katherine, daughter of James aud
Katherine Cavanaugb, born June —."
"Rena. Is it you?"
"Who else? Hut Reua I've been from
my cradle, save to oue person."
"And he?" Jealously.
"And she"—reassuringly—"ls a 00l
lege friend who dislikes my poor nick
name I can show you doeeus of let
ters from her addressed to Miss Kate
Cavatiaugh. The only other proof I
could have offered her gift te me last
Christmas 112 unfortunately lost."
"At a hall?"
"At a charity ball- last June."
"I don't believe you're my Kate, aft
er all! I told you my Kate WHS honest
aud kind."
"And had a sense of humor. Teddy,
do you regret the prostle end of your
romance?"
"Prosaic?"
"Do you?" she insisted.
"I should lie an ungrateful fool If I
did!"
"Then forgive your Cinderella and
give back her glass slipper, desr
prince'"
From the pocket nearest his heart
Theodore drew a crumpled bit of linen
and lace, still faintly fragrant. He laid
it in her hand, and his own fingers
closed over It.

successful comic opera, "When John

at the Danville Opera House.
The story of the period kuowu as
the War of the Rebellion and the
music is suggestive of the famous bat
tle songs of that time, most of which
have lived to the present. An excep
tionally attractive feature of the dress
ing of the opera is the enormous crino
line hoop skirts worn by the young
womeu. There is a military atmos
phere permeating the opera from the
first to the last act, finding expression
in story, music aud scenic eiifiion

Tracy Handysidc was bright enough
to take an excellent stand In his class
■ t college without any close appllm
tlon to his subjects. He was not only
bright, but a favorite. Ills father was
rich and parsimonious Tracy was
poor In bis own right and a spend
thrift. Threat after threat came from
home that if the boy didn't mend his
ways by spending less money his col
lege course would come to a premature
end from lack of remittances. Tracy
took it into his head one afternoon to
drive four In-hand At bis favorltu
stable they gut him up a team In the
best of style, and Tracy, having taken
on u load of fellows and girls, started
at a brisk pace on the main road to
ward the city. The merriment was at
its height when a very unpretentious
vehicle was 4cii approaching drawn
by an equally unpretentious horse.
"Great heavens!" exclaimed Tracy.
"I do believe that's my father coming.
What'll 1 do - .'"'
"Is his eyesight good?" asked one of
tbe party.
"Not very "
"Then ignore him."
The senior Uandyside, seeing a party
uf young people approaching, drew off
to the side of the road and waited for
then) to pass. I'nfortunately at the
moment of meeting a teamster must
needs get in Tracy's way, so that be
Was oblig<Hl to draw rein. He did not
notice his father. although th« old man
shouted in angered tones:
"Tracy !"
Filially the son turned his eyes in his
father's direction.
"What do you mean? I'pou my
word"
"You are mlstakeu in your man, sir,
I fancy," said Tracy in feigned sur
prise.
"Mistaken: You young rascal!"
"Whom do you take me for?"
"Take you for? Why, Tracy Handy
side, my son! Do you have the effron
tery to"—
"Haven't the honor of his acquaint
ance. I'ui sorry I can't take time to
prove yotir error, sir, but I've n party
aboard and got to make a twenty mile
tour and get back to dinner."
With this he gave tb»> wheelers the
lash, tipped the leaders and left the
old gentleman nghnst between his
son's effrontery and n terror lest his
eyesight had gone back on him Tracy
drove out of sight, then called a con
sulfation In which It ws« suggested
that his father would drive to college
learn that his son was not there pos
slbly that he was driving four in hand
—and Tracy's position would l>e «ocrte
thing terrible.
"I am sorry to mar the pleasure of
our drive," said Tracy, "but father
*lll go right past the stable, where
he'll likely stop to nsk questions; then
to my room. I must coach the stable
men and lie at my room when the gor
ernor calls."
After discussion as to the means of
doing this, It was finally determined
that Tracy should take one of the lead
«rs snd gallop back by a roundabout
road aud. by a quicker pace, forestall
his father. The horse was taken out
and divested of all harness except the
bridle. Tracy mounted and was soou
tearing back to college Half an hour
later he daubed up to tbe stable from
which he had got his team, coached
the proprietors and in a few miuntes
more was In bis room l>ehind a fortifl
cation of books.
Meanwhile the eider Handyaide drove

"Did you let a four lit baud this aft

"Yea. sir."
"To whom?"
"Mr. Willard Stokes."
"Are you sure it wasn't nandyaklc'r"
"Handysidc? Don't know him "
Tbe old gentleman was not convinc
ed He had bud evidence before that
his son's creditors would stand by him
to the bitter eud. and nothing would
satisfy him but togo straight to his
son's room He tried the door and
found It locked. After a few vigorous
knocks be was about to turn away
when be heard a voice inside say
"Get out! I'm ls>nlng for exam."
"Tracy," cried the astonished father,
"let me In!"
The latch flew hack, and Tracy stood
at the door and folded his parent In
his arms
"Why. father, what brings you here?
Nothing wrong st home. I trust "
"My boy." gasped tbe old man, sink
