Will Voight found that this was not a case where "present company Is excepted." "No," she said and shook her head so decidedly: tip t certain rebellious curls bobbed In her eyes. "No. I don't want to go to the theater. I want to be alone and to think. Who could think in a hot, stuffy theater? We will go to the park." He ventured to hint that even his presence ' might be a bar to the flow of thought . "I could not go alone, stupid! It would not be proper." "Or interesting." She flashed him a look, and he sub sided. The park looked cold and rather gloomy, but her sigh of satisfaction "oh, it's going into the wateb! bate m 8AYK IT I was quite ecstatic as she cried, "Oh, I do love the park!" "So do I in summer," "But now, when the breath of spring is in the air." "More winter than spring in this air," he retorted grimly. "There is a lot of Ice still in these sheltered walks. so do let me help you." But she refused his proffered band and stepped daintily along. She even hummed a fragment of a gay dance tune. Evidently her spirits were ris ing In proportion as his felL Overhead the bare branches creaked and sighed. Underfoot the walk looked treacherous enough in the fitful glimmer of the gas lamps. Now came a bit of incline. She start ed down recklessly, with a challenging look at her silent escort. "Let's see who gets to the bottom first." But on the instant her foot caught on a bit of gravel. She swayed and would have fallen If his readyhand had not steadied her. The effort, however, de stroyed his own equilibrium. Down, down rolled the dignified Mr. Voight to the bottom of the slide. His high silk hat rolled even faster; In an exploring expedition toward the little brook that ran alongside the path. The girl clasped her hands tragically. Oh, it is going into the water! Save ltl Save ltl" Then she burst out laugh ing. . Mr. Voight raised himself stiffly and went in chase of the hat.' When he brought It back, she was still laughing. "I am glad that I afforded you so much amusement." His tone was very freezing. "And I am happy to ten you that the hat has escaped injury. Your anxiety about it was quite remarkable. As for my injuries oh, that is a mat' ter of no consequence, to you evident ly." .- - Her laughter had died away, and she bent toward Jilm contritely. "Forgive my laughing! If you could only have seen how-funny you looked! Another paroxysm was threatened, but she steadied her .voice as she caught sight of his .face. "But you are not hurt, are you? Just let me brush : you off. and you will be all right, Will.' "Will" refused to be placated He had been laughed at, and 'ridicule pierces to the Innermost core of a man's being, "Don't pretend an Interest you have just shown conclusively you' do not feeL I am quite ready to resume our walk homeward." And he turned and began to ascend the Incline. The girl was glad that the friendly darkness hid . her Involuntary expres sion of pained surprise. William the meek, William the long suffering, had rebelled. She had teased him and played with him. This, then, was the last straw.' Then a wave of indignation flooded over her. How rude he was, how un kind 1 She stood still and gazed at the tall figure hurrying up the slope. How could be treat her so? She would go home alone. But the, park was very dark and silent. A cold tremor seized her. She was afraid .a With most undignified haste she hur ried after and caught up with him, panting. A glanceathim brought back her courage. His bearing was any thing but victorious. Her tone matched his own as she said: "I cannot go home alone. We need not have any further conversa tion, however, and I won't trouble you again." - r , -Voight winced visibly atr her words. There were signs' of yielding as he re plied, "You know that I am always glad to do thingsifof you." 3 " Miss Manners laughed bitterly. rAnd yet you were going to leave me alone just now. It .wasn't a kind, wasn't a gentlemanly, thing to do." His anger flamed up again.' "I could not endure . your mockery. It simply showed that I had been mistaken all along; that you -did not care for me; bad been only playing with me." Her voice was. low and vibrant as she retorted: "That is why I was rest less tonight, why I have- been restless for many days. -- Iwas trying to make. up my mind whether J really loved you. xou have Helped me to solve tne question. I can give you the answer now. It is No L He was too stunned to speak, and so they hurried on in silence. An angry spot of color burned.

Even as her. cry of Indignation rang but there was a blaze Df white light, a whir of .wheels and the automobile .was out of eight. : Voighfs voice trembled as he whis-. pered, "That is the White Ghost, but. It might have been the White Death for both of us," He held her in his arms, though she struggled. Sfte was yet too Indignant and too startled to realize her narrow escape. After a moment: "What was It to you if I had been killed? What right - have you to interfere?" There was a traitorous tremble in her voice that gave him courage. "The right of loving you. Had the last ten minutes made life .seem so Worthless for you too?" He tried to see her face, but she had hidden it on his shoulder. He bent his head till his lips almost touched her hair. "Can't you find it in your heart to change your answer?" Her farce was,stUl hidden, and only a lover's ear couldnave caught the faint reply. .. ....... Orison of Old Glory. In the reminiscences of Lord Eonald Gower is found a story of the origin of the stars and stripes. The "star spangled banner" of the American republic has its origin from an old brass en the floor of Brington church. In Northamptonshire. The brass covers the tomb of one Robert Washington and is dated 1622. On it appears the Washington coat of arms. consisting of three stars, with bars or stripes beneath them. On the first day of the new year," 1776, the thirteen united colonies raised a standard at Washington's headquarters. This introduced the stripes of the present but retained the crosses of St. George and St. Andrew on a blue ground in the corner. In 1777 the cross es were replaced by stars, as the Dec laration of Independence rendered the retention of the English element unnec essary and inconvenient. In thus adopt ing the arms of his ancestors as his own distinctive badge Washington no doubt intended the flag merely as a private signal for his own personal fol lowing, but it was at once adopted as a national emblem: ' Probably there is not another case In the world's history in which the private arms of an ob scure family have attained such "world wide eminence and repute. Intelll arent Robins. The following incident seems too re markable ta be true, and yet it is vouch- eu lor Dy a writer wnose wora snouiu not be doubted: Two robins were try ing to teach their little one to fly. It attempted to cover too great a distance and fell to the ground. My little boy caught it, and I told him to put it on the roof of our side porch. Then he and I watched to see what the old birds would do. They fluttered about the yard for awhile and then flew off. We waited for them to re turn, but they did not, and I had just made up my mind that they had de serted the young one when I saw them coming, accompanied by a third one. They flew directly to the roof of the porch, and I saw that one of them bad a piece of twine in its bill. And what do you suppose they did next? If I had not seen it, I never would have believed it. Two of them, caught bold of the twine, one at each end, and the little one 'caught the mid dle of it in his bilL Then they flew off the porch, the third robin flying under the little one and supporting It on his back.
