JANET sat down at Mlaa Lane's desk, feeling that something very exciting certainly was going to hnppen She had always rather envied Miss xLane the hlg mahogany d<*k, with Its bowl of flowers and Its row of the raewest books. Sometimes she won dered If she would evar be In charg* of that branch of the circulating library, where so many Interesting people came to take out new books and chat for a moment with Miss Lane. Janet summoned up courage some times to talk with some of tliem, to suggest a new detective story for old Mr. Iliillett. or one of the solid English novels for Mrs. Jewett. But as a rule she quietly accepted the books people were returning, marked them on the proper cards, and stamped and marked the honks that worp being taken out, without saying anything. Today was to be dlfferen*. however. Miss Lane wasn't coming In. and she'd have to do everything herself. Perhaps?perhaps Mr. Atwood would come In?Stanley Atwood. He was an old friend of Miss Lane's, a mining engineer, and had been to the ends of the earth. He hated having to stay In the city, and as soon as he had finished the wort, that kept him there he'd go away again, to stav for year or more. The first half of the morning passed uninterestingly enough. A few people came In, hut none of them added to Janet's feeling that some thing exciting was going to happen. Then, as she was arranging a pile of children's books on one of the tables. I'woraan came hurrying In. carrying a htgck kitten. "Just look at thl?," she cried "This darling little cat was walking along the street, meowing so plteously?a boy threw a stone at It Just as I passed?and something must be done shout It." "Ob, It Is pretty," said Janet aff she took the kitten. It snuggled against her and began to pnrr. "It's henutlfjil!" said the woman emphatically. "And If T didn't live with my sister-in-law T'd take It home with me. hut she hates cats." Old Mr. Hallett came In Just then and he. too, agreed that It was i benutlful cat and ought to have ? home." "TH tell you," he said at last. "I've . got jns\ tne nung. i u leiepiniue iuj Mster. who lives at Mountbnnks, about ten miles from here, and have h? come In and get It. She has two children?" "Children are too cruel ' won't [ have this cat In a home where there are children *" Interrupted the woman who had discovered the cat. "They tease anlmalR so." "My nieces wouldn't dream of do 1r(r that?they're fllrl Scouts." Mr | FTallett told , her angrily. Thev were deep In hitter argument when laner realized that Mr. Atwood had com* 1*1 and was standing listening wltt nome amusement. "What's the matter?" he asked her yulte as If they had been old friends. She explained, and he offered to go to his hotel a few doors away opd gel yome milk for the cat. TTie woman who had brought th>eat In Anally departed, and Mr. Hat tett. having telephoned to his sister, departed also, saying that he would, return at two o'clock, Introduce the cat and his lister, and take both away Atwood sat down on the edge of * 'ahle and went on talking with .Tanet not Just afcmrt books, but about himself and then about her, although she hardly realized the turn the conver atlon had taken until she had told him many things?about how she was Hvlne alone In the city, and was going to save her money so that some d?v she could travel, and Anally? 1- -v? *< * tlioh-hM limuiiii P?nr- \nu uvi i ranee inuv tonplv she was. Suddenly a young girl rushed lati the room. '* 'Ton steal my rat?" she cried, rushing up to Janet. "Ton steal mycat, my Pedro. He walk In the street for the air?you steal him!" Janet stepped back hastily; H looked as Jf the excited owner oi Pedro wonld claw her eyes out. "Ru! T didn't?" -~ Tou steal my rat!" Rxplanatlont were no good at all. Janet was almost In tears when Stanley Atwood rame to the rescue. Pedro's owner listened to him moro readily than to Janet, even smiled coyly at him "s he talked. Pedro and his rightful oxwr d* parted at last, and Stanley turned eagerly to Janet. Tou've got to have luncheon with j*e after that," he told her. "Takr tor mutual friendship for Miss Lane as Introduction and chaperon, and aome along!" And Janet went. It was two months later, after many lancheotig and dinners and picnics, that he gave her another_order. "You've got to marry me and coma along to f1'ni with me?I can't pa without V" ' " he said. And Janet went.
