Daddy," Dorothy raid. She kissed him. a thing Mo chil drrn seldom did in public. Stephen greeted the young man, who grinned awkwardly, then glanced meaningly at Dorothy. She flushed They all stood looking at each other In the middle of the rend then, with a cry which was not quite spontaneous, Dorothy pounced upon her small brother. “Peter! You’d better hurry home and wash or you’ll he late for supper" “1 want to walk home with Dad.” Peter objected. “You’d better run or mother will be cross. Give me ten yard* start and 111 race you “ “All right, but I’m auro to win.” They darted off up the road, leaving Mr. Osbcrne and Ted Fleming behind.

They eould not have anything against Dorothy, but they might not consider a man in Osborne’s financial position a desirable fathar-in-law for their only aon. They were tb* sort of people who were certain to reduce the romance to those term*. And Stephen wet iow unemployed, which made the •ttuation a thousand time* mor* diflkulL Suddenly he Mt very tired. He had too much on hi* mind thia evening to cope with another problem. “I’m rather tired. Won’t it keep until tomorrow?" ”I—l suppose it epa," said Ted Fleming dully. At the southern end of the village, they parted at the gate of a large house, square and solid. set ta the middle of a fnir-siaed garden. That was Osborne’s home. When Stephen and Edith, newly
