CHAPTER XIII. The Second Encounter. Booth trudged rapidly homeward after leaving Hetty at the lodge. He was throbbing all over with the love of her. The thrill of conquest was in his blood. She had raised a mysterious barrier; all the more zest to the inevitable victory that would be his. He would delight in overcoming obstacles—the bigger the better—for his heart was valiant and the prize no smaller than those which the ancient knights went out to battle for in the lists of love. It was enough for the present to know that she loved him. What if she were Hetty Glynn? What if she had been an artist’s model? The look he had had into the soul of her through those pure blue eyes was all-convincing. She was won thy of the noblest love. After luncheon— served with some exasperation by Patrick an hour and a half later than usual—he smoked his pipe on the porch and stared reminiscently at the shifting clouds above the tree tops. , He did not see the Wrandall motor at his garden gate until a lusty voice brought him down from the clouds into the range of earthly sounds. Then he dashed out to the gate, bareheaded and coatless, forgetting that he had been sitting In the obscurity of trailing vines and purple blossoms the while he thought of her. Leslie was sitting on the wide seat between his mother and sister.

"Glad to see you back, old man,” said Booth, reaching in to shake hands with him. “Day early, aren’t you? Good afternoon, Mrs. Wrandall. Won’t I you come in?" He looked at Vivian as he gave the invitation. “No, thanks,” she replied. “Won’t you come to dinner this evening?” He hesitated. “I’m not quite sure whether I can, Vivian. I’ve got a halfway sort of —” “Oh, do, old chap,” cut in Leslie, more as a command than an entreaty. “Sorry I can’t be there myself, but you’ll fare quite as well without me. I’m dining at Sara’s. Wants my private ear about one thing and another — see what I mean?”

"We shall expect you, Brandon,” said Mrs. Wrandall, fixing him with her lorgnette. “I’ll come, thank you,” said he. He felt disgustingly transparent under that inquisitive glass. Wrandall stepped out of the car. “I’ll stop off for a chat with Brandy, mother.” “Shall I send the car back, dear?” “Never mind. I’ll walk down.” The two men turned In at the gate as the car sped away. “Well,” said Booth, “it’s good to see you. Pat!” He called through a basement window. “Come up and take the gentleman's order.” “No drink for me, Brandy. I’ve been in the temperance state of Maine for two weeks. One week more of It and I’d- have been completely pickled. I shall always remember Maine.” Booth sat down on the porch rail, hooked hie toes in the supports and proceeded to fill his pipe. Then he struck a match and applied it, Leslie watching him with moody eyes. “How do you like the portrait, old man?” he inquired between punctuating puffs. “It’s bully. Sargent never did anything finer. Ripping.” “I owe it all to you, Les.” “To me?” “You induced her to sit to me.” “So I did,” said Leslie sourly. “I was Mr. Fix-it sure enough.” He allowed a short interval to elapse before taking the plunge. “I suppose, old chap, if I should happen to need your valuable services as best man in the near future, you’d not disappoint me?” Booth eyed him quizzically. “I trust you’re not throwing yourself away, Les,” he said drily. “I mean to say, on some one-- well, some one not quite up to the mark.” Leslie regarded him with some severity. “Of course not, old chap. What the devil put that into your head ?” 1 “I thought that possibly you’d been yaking a chump of yourself up in the Maine woods.” “Piffle! Don’t be an ass. What’s the sense pretending you don’t know who she is?” “I suppose it’s Hetty Castleton,” said Booth, puffing away at his pipe. “Who else?” “Think she’ll have you, old man?” asked Booth, after a moment. “I don’t know,” replied the other, a bit dashed. “You might wish me luck, though.” Booth knocked the burnt tobacco from the bowl of his pipe. A serious line appeared between his eyes. He was a fair,minded fellow, without guile, without a single treacherous instinct “I can’t wish you luck, Les,” he said slowly. “You see I’m—l’m in love with her myself.” “The devil!” Leslie sat bolt upright and glared at him. “I might have known! And—and is she in love with you?” “My dear fellow, you reveal considerable lack of tact in asking that question.” “What I want to know is this,” exclaimed Wrandall, very pale but very hot: “is she going to marry you?” Booth smiled. “I’ll be perfectly frank with you. She says she won’t.” Leslie gulped. “So you’ve asked her?” “Obviously.” “And she said she wouldn’t? She refused you? Turned you down?” His little mustache shot up at the ends and a joyous, triumphant laugh broke

“Tell Me —Tell Me, Now—on Your Soul, Hetty—”

from his lips. “Oh, this is rich! Ha, ha! Turned you down, eh? Poor old Brandy! You’re my best friend, and dammit I’m sorry. I mean to say,” he went on in some embarrassment, “I’m sorry for you. Of course, you caif hardly expect me to—er— ’’ “Certainly not,” accepted Booth amiably. “I auite understand.”

""Then, since she’s refused you, you| might wish me better luck." “That would mean giving up hope-” 1 “Hope?” exclaimed Leslie quickly. "You don’t mean to say you’ll annoys her with your—” “No, I shall not annoy her,” replied) his friend, shaking his head. “Well, I should hope not,” said) Leslie with a scowL “Turned you down, eh? Ton my soul!” He ap-4 peered to be relishing the idea of it. : “Sorry, old chap, but I suppose you' understand just what that means.” Booth’s lips hardened for an in-| stant, then relaxed into a queer, al-j most pitying smile. “And you want me to be your best man?” he said reflectively. Leslie arose. His chest seemed to swell a little; assuredly he was breathing much easier. He assumed an air of compassion. “I shan’t Insist, old fellow, it you feel you’d rather not —er — See what I mean?” It then occurred to him to utter a word or two of kindly advice. “I shouldn’t go on moping if I were you, Brandy. ’Pon my soul, I shouldn’t. Take it like a man. I know it hurts, but — Pooh! What’s the use aggravating the pain by butting against a stone wall?” His companion looked out over the tree tops, his hands in his trousers pockets, and it must be confessed that his manner was not that of one who is oppressed by despair. “I think I’m taking it like a man, Les,” he said. “I only hope you’ll take it as nicely if she says nay to you.” An uneasy look leaped into Leslie’s face. He seemed noticeably less corpulent about the chest. He wondered if Booth knew anything about his Initial venture. A question rose to his lips, but he thought quickly and held it back. Instead, he glanced at bls watch.

“I must be off. See you tomorrow, I hope.” “So long,” said Booth, stopping at the top of the steps while his visitor skipped down to the gate with a nimbleness that suggested the formation of a sudden resolve. Leslie did not waste time in parting inanities he strode off briskly in the direction of home, but not without a furtive glance out of the tail of his eye as he disappeared beyond the hedgerow at the end of Booth’s garden. That gentleman was standing where he had left him, and was filling his pipe once more. The day was warm, and Leslie was in a dripping perspiration when he reached home. He did not enter the house but made his way direct to the garage. Get out the car at once, Brown,” was his order. Three minutes later he was being driven over the lower road toward Southlook, taking good care to avoid Booth’s place by the matter of a mile or more. He was in a fever of hope and eagerness. It was very plain to him why she had refused Booth. The iron was hot. He didn't Intend to lose any time in striking. And now we know why he came again to Sara’s in the middle of a blazing afternoon, instead of waiting until the more seductive shades of night had fallen, when the moon sat serene in the seat of the Mighty.

He didn’t have to wait long for Hetty. Up to the instant of her appearance in the door, he had reveled in the thought that the way was now paved with roses. But with her entrance, he felt his confidence and courage slipping. Perhaps that may explain the abruptness with which he proceeded to go about the business in hand. “I couldn’t wait till tonight.” he explained as she came slowly across the room toward him. She was halfway to him before he awokp to the fact that he was standing perfectly still. Then he started forward, somehow impelled to meet her at least half-way. “You’ll forgive me, Hetty, if I have disturbed you.” “I was not lying down, Mr. Wrandall,” she said quietly. There was nothing ominous in the words, but he experienced a sudden sensation of cold. “Won’t you sit down? Or would you rather go out to the terrace?” “It’s much more comfortable here, if you don’t mind. I —l suppose you know what it is I want to say to you. You—” “Yes,” she interrupted wearily; “and knowing as much, Mr. Wrandall, it would not be fair of me to let you go on.” Not fair?” he said, in honest amazement. “But, my dear, I —” “Please, Mr. Wrandall,”' she exclaimed, with a pleading little smile that would have touched the heart of anyone but Leslie. “Please don’t go on. It ,is quite as impossible now as It was before. I have not changed. He could only say, mechanically: “You haven’t?” (TO BE CONTINUED.)

ONE MILLION DOLLAR INDIANA AUTO SHOW-GREAT EXPOSITION OF 1915 MODELS WILL BE SEEN AT INDIANA STATE FAIR WEEK OF SEPTEMBER 7.

The greatest automobile show to be seen on an American fair ground this year will be one of the dominating features of the Indiana State Fair the week of Sept. 7. The show is being organized by the Indianapolis Automobile Trade Association, and it will be a very elaborate exhibit of 1915 cars by the leading factories of the country the models at the Indiana fair to be shown later in the big winter shows. The auto show will occupy a tent 150 feet wide and 325 feet long, giving an exhibition space, exclusive of the broad aisles, of 20,300 square feet. The big tent will be Ic.vishly decorated and there will be strong competition among the exhibitors to make the best individual displays. The tent will be immediately south of the brick horse barn and will be the largest canvas ever set up on the Indiana fair grounds. The auto exposition, because of the great demand for space, will be confined to motor cars and accessories but they will be the “last word” in automobiles, giving the newest refinements and improvements that manufacturers have to offer for 1915. There will bo no extra admission fee to the auto show. Musical progiams and many entertaining features will be given daily, but the chief worth of the show will be its educational value to present and prospective owners of cars.
