RICHARD DORRA.NCH, meaitatively tolling a ciga rette, cast mtmUt him an ap. proving sjianom "Jferfect country," be tstwled to no body In particular, though Tom Darby was at band to bear. "Orange sunshine on tne yellow sands, magenta shadows. ultramarine ssjkv luxuriant fol i age to beat all CNSjfao. -This beats tossing arouna on dohtu a yacht; anyway. Think I'll marry a native and settle down to dream out my days In peace." . Be lit the cigarette and flopped over on nis back, flourishing heavenward nil lengthy and immaculately white duck clad legs. Tom Darby resented the resultant display of vivid hosiery and growled. Darby was In a resent ful mood. He bad been most comfy aboard Dorrance's private yacht, the Beau Gallant, and saw no earthly rea son why be should have been dragged therefrom for a mile's row over the teaming shallows to the end (bat they might merely loaf on the edge of the beach. Moreover, be was a thirst "There's not a drink In sight," be said crossly, "nor a suggestion of a breeze. This is plainly the Jumping oft place. And we'll be caught in the deuce of a thunderstorm If I'm Aot mis taken." "Disappointed, you mean." "Besides," Darby went on defiantly, ignoring the correction, "who'd bave you, I'd like to know?" . "That's immaterial. I'll find some one." He raised bis voice and chanted "Young gentleman, rich and of distin guished appearance, desires a wife. Ob ject, matrimony. No trlflers." Darby grunted and resumed his dis gusted contemplation of Dorrance's socks, i He was about to make an un pleasant remark wben both became aware of the presence of a third per son. " . How, she ever got there so quietly Darby could never understand, but she stood before them trim and neat and most desirable In a chic muslin frock and a canary colored hat of some sort with ribbons, perched saucily atop her curly brown hair. Brown eyes she had, too, and the very devil of mis chief lurking In their depths, and rosy Hps with the shadow of mirth in their corners. ' Darby believes that her nose is tip tilted Just the least bit, but he will never dare assert It At any rate, she was entirely to be adored, with the sun filtering down through the leaves and dotting ber with little blurs of light Dorrance was on bis feet In an In stant, and you may believe that Tom Darby was not far behind him.- The two stood like Idiots, gaping at ber as If she had dropped from heaven. And she might have that, but the dancing eyes were against the theory. She glanced from the one to the oth :, apparently enjoying the situation immensely. She fairly laughed when at last she said; , . . "Good evening, gentlemen." Both ' stammered ' Incoherent re sponses, and then the young lady calm ly pointed at Dorrance with the up of her dainty parasol. "I'll marry you," said she. Sue might have been asking him to tea. But Dorrance was ever more reaay than Darby and lucky. It is but fair to state that Tom was staggered, but Dorrance! . I was convinced of that when I told eyes on you," be said, bowing. "Just so," she laughed. And then Darby found his tongue, ' ."Perhaps you've overlooked me," be said timidly. 'Dorrance is an very well, but I bave my points." He stuck out his chest, looting low ana wiia flourish. "Thev're well covered." said Dor- mnpfl nastily. " "Which you hereby respectfully sub mit to my consideration r sne assea. "Just so, but you're a trifle late, Mr. or nnrrance. I think 700 Said 7 Mr. Dorrance asked first" n.rtvr protested. "But be never Imagined"- "Oh hnt I did." Dorrance Interrupt ed unblushingly. "I've expected this rieht alone." "Of course he has," she added severe ly "That was very sngauant or you. " Darby collapsed; he bad never learn ed to accept defeat graceruuy.

At least he could see Dorrance through even should be fall to keep him from -egregious folly. And he himself was falling Into the mad humor of the proceeding. "Ruth," Dorrance began over his shoulder. "Who?" "My fiancee, sir!" "Oh!" "Introduce me," she said demurely. "Ruth, this Is my cbum, Mr. Tom Darby"- "Thomas Edgerton ar" "Tom, my promised bride, Miss Ruth Wharton." Again Darby bowed, this time over a pink and white confection of a band. "I'll marry Vou." Decidedly, If Dick did which of course was monstrous If be actually should win her, be was open to congratulation, "Ruth," said Dorrance, "Is taking us to ber ancestral home. We are to meet ber paternal uncle, Mr. Henry Whar ton, this evening. At present be Is not at borne." "Naturally she wants her family to Inspect ber choice. I promise to make no revelations as to your character; I'll maintain a most discreet" "And damning silence. I prefer that you talk." "It Is not far now," said Kuth. "The walk has made me thirsty," Darby complained. "It has then accomplished the lnev Itable," Dorrance remarked loftily. They bad struck inland from the beach, passing through a sparse belt of pines, and now emerged upon narrow strip of sandy road. Opposite them was Mcbened stone wall sur mounted by broken glass and boasting rickety, rusty gate of Iron. The three plowed across to this and entered fair ly spacious and well kept grounds, Magnollaa and shrubbery grew here and there, and the orange trees were In blossom. There .were prim little beds of old fashioned flowers; also a cast iron stag, severely weather beaten. The tinkle of water from a bidden fountain was very grateful to Tom Darby's ears. At the end of a glade he caught glimpses of white Corinthian columns, evidently the facade or a mission. Dsrby's misgivings vanished under the influence of this peaceful scene. If Buth were heir to such a Stately property, then Dorrance oh, Dorrance was plainly favored of the gods! '.' 1 Meanwhile this remarkable young lady was setting a pace that was quite uncomfortable for Derby, wno wss ana is Dlnma let us say, and firmly op posed to exertion at any time, so that he fell somewhat in tne rear ana thought It mightily discourteous that the two should converse in tones so low that he wss able to bear never e word. Nevertheless be perseverea. though with much puffing, end was presently rewarded with an easy chair upon a broad, coolly snaoea ventnaa and left- there, Dorrance and bis pre cious Buth entering the bouse, engaged in the most earnest of conversation. Darbr felt horribly neglected and out of drawing tUV to Ms huge delight, an aged negro appeared with tray and glasses.

She comes into' possssslon when she's eighteen, and she will be that tomor row." "A woman's age" "Be quiet If she marries before that, nine-tenths of her inheritance re verts to her, guardian." Here Darby grew befuddled. .' "Then why In heaven's name doe she want you?" "I don't know that she does except as an alternative. This amiable uncle Is addled about money; wants to get ber married, even tried to force her into a match with a oh, a real dayvll lsh sort of fellow, Fetter by name. Now, Fetter won't do, according to Bath. She doesn't want him, or any body, for that matter." , ' "Not even youT" "Not even me." "How do you know V she queried archly from the doorway, and Darby is positive that a prettier picture never was than she made framed in Its rfch. somber darkness. "Are we not en gaged?" "I hope sol" Dorrance cried fervent ly. Til have you If you'll let ate, though all the world"- "Oh, here," Darby exclaimed hastily. "I'm a modest man! Go on with the plot I begin to see a light" ? "Well, then," Buth took up the thread of narrative, "as a last resort be per suaded me to come down here from At lanta, knowing that I could never es cape. And I never thought If twen ty miles to the nearest village, eighteen to the nearest railroad. I could net walk It if I tried, and Cassias keeps close watch on me. The horses uncle took with him when be left this morn ing, saying that he would return this evening. I am positive that he mean to bring back with him this odious Mr. Fetter and a clergyman." "Two and two," said Darby. '" "And and I know you thought me a bold creature this afternoon, but I was desperate, helpless. I could not think what to do. You will help me, dear Mr. Darby, won't yon?" And, believe me, she plumped down on her knees before him. ' Darby was so embarrassed that he Jumped as though she bad kissed him. He adopted a paternal tone, speaking with the matured Judgment of twenty fire years. "Why, of course, my dear, you may rely on me." He was in a fine conceit with himself for that speech. "Oh. thank you." "Not at all! Not at all!" Darby mar vels that he restrained himself from saying. "Tut tut my dear!" . He added. with a relieving Inspiration, "Then the beet thing we can do is to get right aboard the Beau Gallant" "Not la a thousand years," Mid Dor rance firmly. "Why?" Dorrance eyed him curiously. Tve a better plan," be said at length. "Welir "I'll tell you later. For the present you stay bere. I'm going to trot down to the beacb and signal Hendricks. We dine aboard tonight, you and I." "That's a mercy. At what timer But Dorrance was gone. "He Is Just splendid, Isn't ber' said Buth. "Dorrance?

"Indeed," she osmea sjeosntiy, "ne has the right!" "I wish I had," said Darby. "He's a lucky dog."

Dorrance rose and looked at bis watch. "You have no security to offer but your word," he said wearily, "and that Is worthless." Mr. Wharton's Jaw moved loosely, but no sounds earn.
