..., - TAKEN AT . HER WORD Bd JOANNA SINGLE Copyright, 2908, by E. C. Parcells John Mason did not slam the gate simply because he knew that this mani festation of rage would surely delight Iiosalie. She was watching his depar ture from the window, and he was an jcrily conscious that she knew he would, as usual, return in a few days, although she had said she hoped she would be rid of him for awhile. She was so young and so beautiful and so provoking! At the entrance to the little park, al ready growing green in the April sun, lie met her sister. He did not know Anne very well he had been too busy with Rosalie. He wished now that he had made friends with her; her blue eyes were so like and still so unlike Rosalie's. Anne stepped in front of Sim and stopped him unceremoniously. "Been trampled upon again ! she ob served. "John Mason, for so clever a man generally you're sometimes an awful fool!" She submitted this thoughfully, in a voice too gentle to be Insulting. "Then you and Rosalie are agreed, and I suppose you are expert testi mony. May I turn and walk with you?" She nodded and then asked a matter of fact question. "How many times has she refused you?" "I had not thought to keep count. Rosalie Just now Informed me that this was the last time. I didn't know I had been the same sort of a fool so often. But don't you think she ought to give me credit for my persistence? Not ev ry man proposes so many times to the same girl." Anne laughed dryly as he continued: "I would have given up long ago if I were not unexplainably sure that she does care for me. In fact, she never kas said directly that she does not. She Imply says she won't marry me. What's the matter with me? Am I too rich? I can give away the stuff if she Ekes. Am I too successful? I might lose a case to please her. Should I be as ugly as Satan? Perhaps she would Uke a Beauty and the Beast effect! What does she want? I've said and done everything under heaven, and she walks on me she trails me!" "Precisely! Thafs why I called you what I did. A girl likes to trail a man, but hates the man that will be trailed. Not logical, is it? To use her own words, you are always around underfoot. You give her no time to want you or miss you or think about you. She's too sure of you. She knowa just where you'll be. You never let her want anything bad enough to appreciate It wheo it comes. She has always had her own way. She needs to be a bit afraid of you. She needs to be bullied!" He frowned. "I am not a brute. That is not my way." "No? Well, what has your way ac complished?" He tried to laugh. "Oh, I'll take your advice. I'll do anything you say. It an't be worse than it is now." "Well, I hate the responsibility. If you get her you'll fight;, if you don't, you'll both be miserable anyhow. You must get her and then work out your wn salvation. In the first place, jon must give her a shock. Write her. a note and accept your dismissal. Tell ber yott begin to see that she Is right and that you wish to be friendly with her. and the family. Then call some times on the father or on me. Don't stay away. Absences of that sort are flattering; you mtjst be quite unaffect ed by her presence." "You know that is impossible. You know how the sight of her" You've got to do it! And you must take another girl out occasionally. Be ing naturally modest, I dislike to sug gest that you send me flowers some times and come for 'a walk with me. That will bring things home to her. A girl hates to have an admirer transfer himself bodily to any one, but espe cially to her sister." When they had, planned their cam paign and he left Anne at the gate she had him laughing. Rosalie saw them and shrugged her shoulders. While removing her hat In the hall Anne remarked to her sister: "Well, dear; John tells me that you have dismissed him for good. You know I never would have interfered if you had wanted him, but I am glad you do not Now ydu may find time for your music. Your talent is too aiarked to be neglected. It will be a relief for you to have him out of the way awhile. You're too young to leave father and me, and, after all, I, think you're right about his not being the right man for you." Rosalie shrugged her shoulders. The next day Rosalie, without com ment, handed Anne this note; . Dear MJsa Carleton-I want to thank you for your frankness of yesterday, and I- assure you Uat I shall not annoy arou again as j harem tae past.

In the fourth week he called while she was out. Of course she could not know that. Anne had phoned him to come. He was leaving just as Rosalie entered and shook hands with her cor dially. He did not look broken heart ed, and he seemed to be on very good terms with Anne, to whom next morn ing he sent some violets. Rosalie saw him out walking with Mary Dye. Then he took Anne driving. She began to realize that Anne was very pretty if she was a year ortwo older than John. Rosalie's irritation reached its cllmai one morning at the breakfast table when her younger brother Ted remark ed in a teasing drawl: "John seems to be taking his medi cine like a man. Rosy! He's all right, and I am glad Anne seems Inclined to keep him in the family. He probably appreciates being treated like a human being after the way you always walk ed on him. The fellows say he's the best young lawyer in town. But 1 should think you'd hate to have him take his punishment so cheerfully, Rosy!" By this time Rosalie had reached the limit of endurance. She sprang uf and, before any one could interfere, had boxed Ted's ears soundly and flee" to her room. No one made comment on the scene save that Mr. Carleton amusedly met the laughter In Anne's eyes and told Ted that he would have no more of his teasing. Rosalie's ca prlclous treatment of John had long been disapproved of by her family, and, while they were all sorry for her, they thought it time she should come to her senses. Time had been slow and torturing tc John. He wanted to tell Rosalie thai he loved her and her only. He wanted to send her flowers, to give her every desire of her heart, and he found It a misery to see her or not to see her. Meantime he was very attentive to Anne, who was becoming vastly bored with his raptures and sorrows and wai longing for him to win. his Rosalie and let her go back to her old peaceful ways. At last one night Anne waked and heard Rosalie sobbing to herself.. In the morning she pleaded headache anil stayed Jn her room till nearly evening Annej had a long conference by tele phone -with John and took pains tc have her father and' Ted spend the evening elsewhere. After dinner she went to Rosalie's room and pleaded, being tired. Sh coaxed Rosalie to arrange her prettj hair and don a pretty gown so sht could go down if any one, should come While Rosalie was sulkily doing as hoj sister wished, Anne heard the bell and slipped down to answer it. She caint back saying It was some oue for bei father and asked Rosalie If she would mind going to the library and bringing the book she had loft do. the table. Rosalie, In her trailing blqe dress went downstairs and through the hal. into the library. She had half crossed the room before she saw John slttlnp in a great chair in dim firelight. She wanted to flee frj.u him, but some how her feet would not novel nor did she find a word to say. .Then to het dismay she knew that a slow tear wa falling down her cheek. John cam quickly toward her. It seemed very comfortable to be leaning against him After awhile he held her off and looked at her. She tried to smije. "Well," he questioned, "how shall It be? You know you said you hoped yoc would never hare to refuse -me a gam I hope you wlH not Just for variety suppose you take me." After the little minutes had cunning ly slipped away. and It was time that he ''Should leave her, Rosalie exclaimed in dismay: "Oh, Anne's book! She, will be wait ing for it." "I hardly think so," John asserted dryly. "Your sister Anne is wise. Sh knew better than to expect you In a moment when she sent you down U me!" "Sent me to you!" Rosalie echoed. "Yes, my lady! Do you Imagine yout sister has been trailing me about foi her pleasure? She Is more glad to tx rid of me than ever you were!" "Then it was not Anne ever?" John laughed and bade her good night. "If you were not perfectly sure that It was not Anne ever,' you would never, never have asked me!" which both of theei knew to be true. 4n4 Anne went to bed and slept th sleep of one who has successfully per formed an arduous duty.
