J; If ow were looking for a cur for bash fulness carbon paper; would seem an unlikely thing to select But It waa a piece of thia paper which. If It did r . not exactlr eure John KendalL at least rercam the effects of bla tbyness. ' John's bashfulneu was most perni cious, and, while It had not retarded Ma career as a successful manufactur- er In the flourishing town of Scbuyler- ville. It proved a very embarrassing possession when he was smitten wltn the tender passion. ' ' ' . In the first place, Margaret ' Little was en "authoress." and that alone was an awe Inspiring circumstance. To be able to write stories which met with occasional acceptance,' to have the post man sometimes bring her thin letters containing checks and not to be the .grinning bearer 6f bulky packages of rejected manuscripts, placed her on a plane above other women Jn John's eyes; not that she needed such placing. for it would be' futile to chronicle the angelic Dualities with which he en dowed her. The trouble with this eudowment process was that It was not disclosed to Margaret ' John could write and did write letters teeming with sentiment. Of course it was unfortunate that these letters never were sent ' It was more unfortunate that be found himself un . able to express In her preseuce the feel ings which agitated his six feet of mnnhnn1 He had made three attempts at a pro . posal, each of which "bud ended in stammering confusion und dire failure, and It is probable that the number , would have been extended Indefinitely had not a rival appeared on the field, Any one who showed Margaret the slightest attention was a rival in John's view, and it seemed impossible that the editor of a New York magazine would come fifty miles to Schuylervllle for the sole purpose of consulting Marga ret about a series of stories for bis pe riodical. If this : Innocent purpose brought the editor, something emotion ally attractive fn Margaret's pretty face must have induced his reappear ance within a month, and it was dur ing this second visit that John spurred himself to action.

"The girt said something about you leaving a note." continued Margaret "Yes er au Invitation to a picnic." Jobs said weakly, "but the affair was postponed.' "Before you could wVite the note?" "No. -. 1 thought H would be post poned. bo I Changed toy mind." . , , Margaret was looking demurely at a rosebush. "It has been postponed be fore." she murmured softly, bnt her companion did uot bear the "remark "John. she naid in a louder tone, "1 suppose It Is only in, an invitation to ft. picnic that you would address me as your dearest Margaret. - John Kendall turned slowly and re garded the object of his affections with bewilderment 4 He wondered if any of the torn bits of paper had been picked up and pieced together by Margaret, but be had scattered them so widely that that seeruwl impossible. Miss Little, who had transferred her ease from the rosebush to her lover's face, seemed to enjoy bis expression Then John rocked violently In the ve randa chair In the hope that the action would induce mental stimulation, but It did not "mil you come with me for a mo ment?" Margaret asked, rising and en terlng the house. John followed her to her study. There. on the little desk, wns the pile of man usorlpt paper. Margaret took a note from the bosom of her dress, unfolded it slowly and handed It to John. "There was a piece of carbon paper among the top sheets." she said, "and this was under It." And John read an exact copy of the effusion he had ad dressed to Margaret the week before, For a moment he looked helplessly at the note, then he glanced shyly down at Margaret, and the expression be saw In her eyes was entirely unlike that with which she had regarded the editor. It seemed to say, "Speak for your self, John." and had the stolid type writer which stood on the desk risen to the occasion It would have added an other love scene to its long list In 'the home of Mr. and Mrs. John Kendall, in Schuylervllle, Is a den, and on one of its walla hangs a bit of black paper in a gilt frame.
