"See. hon, nothing can atop uh from having the most wonderful life any two human beings ever had!" Ned cried with youth's flamboyant optimism. Ruth, who had seen more trouble In her fewer years than Ned, felt that he was flinging defiance in the face of life and that life would sooner or later reply crushingly to the boy's insolence. But loyal to her man and to the golden mood of their honeymoon, she put the somber thought from her and made a mental resolve that no matter what mishap or discomfort they met she would bear it all with a laugh and prove Ned's vaunt true. But life is infinite in its trickery. It let them laugh and thrive and grow brown and vital and brilliant eyed with health on the wholesome roughness of camp life. It waited till they broke camp and arrived In San Francisco. It let Ned and Ruth establish themselves in almost Sybaritish comfor at a great hotel, where Ned insisted on going to enjoy to the full the contrast to camp. Then in the light, color, music and glow of a famous restaurant over a table laden with the best of viands, life answered Ned's challenge. (To be continued)

80 Years Old, Is Dead

YgUNG BLOOD For a honeymoon setting the scene was remarkable. In the shallow ford of a Yosemite valley stream stood an automobile hub deep In water and 6and. In the car, badgering the roaring but helpless engine was a slim, large-eyed girl of delicate mold, picturesque in khaki Norfolk coat, riding breeches and hip rubber boots. On the shore a young man, also in khaki and rubber boots, tugged and strained at a rope attached to the foundered automobile. The unmuffled engine roared and trembled with impotent rage as the wheels raced in the same slushy sand. Over the valley umbled the sullen voice of gathering thunder. A cataract sounded angrily just ahead. Suddenly the foot of the young man slipped and he sat down abruptly in the mud. From the girl came a little cry. But the young man looked at himself with a comical expression. Instantly from the girl came such a -ringing peal of laughter that it Bounded above the angry chorus of engine, cataract and thunder; it even outdid the hearty laughter of the young man in sheer gayety. "Ned your expression!" she gasped, tears rolling down her cheeks. "You look you look like " "Like mud!" Ned Flowerton laughed. "I know it. Ruth. And if you keep

on laughing at me I'll wade out there

and clasp you in my muddy arms till you haven't any breath left to laugh with, you little chit!" They were Ned and Ruth Flowerton on their hoenymoon. There had been a pretty little wedding at Arcadia, with the usual good-natured hazing elaborately prepared by the young people of the party for the newlyweds. But instead of leaving in the beribboned and festooned limousine at the front door, where their friends stood waiting to send them off in a shower of rice and old shoes the young couple slipped out by a rear door and were off in Ned's low gray racer before the guests could reach them. At the top of the hill the Flowertons turned in their'machine and laughed gleefully at their frustrated friends. The Flowertons laughed at everything these days at their friends whom they had outwitted, as gayly and as heartily as at the angry mutter of approaching thunder in the wilds of Yosemite and at their automobile stuck in a stream bed with night coming on They laughed at mishaps and at the rude condition of life in their camp in the Yosemite valley. They laughed together and at each other. It was the.laughter of young blood leaping with joy at the
