CREEN T I€1is by far the most delicious. Ask for it. enmnmenmeenein en irier . In the shadow of Mrs. Goode‘s boarding house she almost collided with Archie Hale turning from the door. ~®Oh, it‘s you, Minnie," he said, when ‘they recognized pach other. "They told me you hadn‘t come back from the farm." f "IL was at chie. Some Bradshaw." _ "All day Sunday! The slave ériver! f‘ve a mind to have him up for breach of the Lord‘s Day Act. ‘Then he‘d have a slippery client, wouldn‘t he?" "It couldn‘t be helped, Archie," she said, wearily. She was feeling out a line of defence. "But I‘m about all in. I don‘t think I can see you toâ€"night." "A run in the car is just what you need ; fresh air after befng shut up all day in that dingy hole. Wonder old Bradshaw wouldn‘t rent a deâ€" cent office. But it will soon be over, Minnie. I‘ve great news; just spoil ing to tell it. Won‘t you come?" "I‘d like to, Archie, butâ€" Don‘t you see, it isn‘t quite fair?" . "How ‘*quite fair?‘ No, I don‘t see it at all. Come along." ‘ "No, I can‘t," she protested. "Archie, I don‘t want to make it any harder than I must, but I can‘t go with youâ€"any more." ~ â€" He droppe& her arm. Even in the darkness she could see his face harden and whiten. â€" "Not any more? Why?" f "We‘ve been good friends, Archie, and I‘d like to keep on being good friends, butâ€"I know what you want and I can‘t give it to you, ever. . .. Please don‘t misjudgt me. . I‘ve told you as soon as I knew." He was silent, and she murmured again. ‘"Please don‘t misjudge me, Archie. I like you, awfully, really, but not that way. I didn‘t knowâ€" the differenceâ€"myself, until just lately." His hand had sought the railing of the veranda, and when he spoke it was not with the voice of Archie Hale, but of some one strange and far away. a ‘ "Is it Cal Beach?" he asked. "Yes," she whispered. ... "Oh, Archie, I‘m so sorry." "I congratulate him," she heard the strange voice say. Then he conâ€" tinued, "I just called to mention that I have been appointed manager of one of the _ Saskatchewan branches of our bank. Iâ€"I used to think you would be interested." He paused a moment, then turned quickly away, and before she real-‘ fzed what had happened he had passed through the gate and dl&‘ appeared down the street. Sobered and on the verge of tears she sought‘ her room. She was genuinely sorry for Archie and her sorrow was not eased by a sense that she had been rather legs than fair to him. She had known that it was Cal Beachâ€"that it must be Cal Beachâ€"for ever so . long, but she had used Archie t01 soothe her pride against the pangs of Cal‘s suspected flirtations wlth‘ Annie Fraudic. ‘That hadn‘t been quite fair, and she took herself sharply to task fo? it, but after half mn hour‘s introspection she conâ€" eluded that it couldn‘t be helped, and it might have been much worse. Archie‘ would presently forget her aitogether, or think of her only as a pleasant incident, and marry some other girl better suited to be his vl:z.‘.'l'ho idea was not so comâ€" fo as she had hoped to find it. "At any rate I‘ve got Cal â€" my Cal," she breathed, and in the joy of her possession she fell asleep. . Bhe was awakened by the June suft pouring through the eastern window bf her little room. Her alarm clock still allowed her fifteen minutes, minutes which she nursed and clung to in blissful, lazy, ideal izing contemplation. With her bare| round arms upstretched she linked her fingers until the light shone phl| in their delicate intersections;> then she drew them down upon Wer eyes and lay dreaming in in an ecstasy of tenderness. Calâ€"they were Cal‘s pulse of young life beat strong withâ€" An her, and the world was so goodâ€"â€" so good! She forgave it all its buffetâ€" c . sahe forgave it Mrs. Goode‘s j house; tforgave it the _ Or y of the farm; with a smile iwhln: M . ‘Peaworbdht, ... :: : > The Smoking Flax the office all day, Arâ€" special work for Mr. By ROBERT STEAD self in the one uncertain_mirror her furniture afforded. She caught the round of her hu.c:o“::n of herâ€" arm, the gentle ; of . her neck, the warm glint of her newâ€" bronze hair, the grace of her firm, strong, subtle body. ‘They \were charms, she supposed; charms which man appraises with an inâ€" stinctive eye. ‘They accounted for the glancesâ€"the not wholly unwel come glancesâ€"of admiration which she sometimes surprised in the office, on the street, in Sempter & Burton‘s store. But they failed to explain so amazing a ‘phenomenon as that Cal Beach should fall in love with ‘her. ‘That she should love Cal was _ understandable . enough, . but that Cal should love herâ€"that was the thing that baffled her reason. Now, Archie Haleâ€"she could underâ€" stand that. But Cal Beachâ€" It was too wonderful for explanation. During the absence of Mr. Bradâ€" shaw she made the best of the situâ€" ation in the office, establishing a strictly business attitude toward Mr. Tonnerfeldt, and maintaining it in the face of his elaborate atâ€" tentions. She wished she might have talked with Cat over the telephone, but she knew how deadly are the ramifications of the rural party line: system. When, on Tuesday, she called her mother,; she could hear the surreptious lifting of receivers, and she chose her words accordingâ€" ly. Everybody well? Yes. What was‘ she doing Preserves. What was Dad doing? Nothing, likely. What were the men doing? Gander, she didn‘t know; likely helping Dad. Cal was summerâ€"fallowing â€"She broke Iofl the conversation at that word. It was sufficient to have heard Cal‘s lname. y She wished she might have gone out to the farm for an even‘lng. but there was fmo opportunity. a wild thought that she should ask Archie Hale to drive her darted her mind, and, finding the changed conditions there, darted out again as suddenly. Wednesday evening Archie called . again. He said he te_lt he had acted i rudely the other night and he didn‘t ; want her to think of him that way., She said she, didn‘t think of him that wayâ€"never had. It was she'. who had been rude; she had not congratulated him on his promotion, nor asked him anything about lt.| She was really very interested, she told him.

Sho" assured him that it hadn‘t really; he just felt that way, but he‘d uoont \net over it and marry some much nicer girlâ€" O‘ 0. $ | "Would you soon get over it," he demanded, "if Cal Beach were to pass you up?" She whitened at the thought, and felt her ribs gripping about her heart. 4. : "But Cal wouldn‘tâ€"he wouldn‘t do that," she whispered. "Oh, Archie I‘m sorry." . .. When he. left she would have paid him the tribute of a final kiss, but he exacted no such honor. It was Saturday when Gander, dusty and flurried, burst into the office. Minnie was taking qlcutlon from Mr. Bradshaw when, raising her eyes, she saw Gander in the "Why Gander, what‘s wrong?!" she cried, disregarding the voice engaged in threatening suit unless this long overâ€"due account, in conâ€" noction with which our clientâ€" "Maybe nothin‘," said Gander, with a sheepish laugh to cover his agitation. "Mybe a good deal. Can I talk to you a minute, Minnic?" "Take your brother into my privâ€" ate office, Miss Stake," Mr. Bradâ€" shaw suggested. "This can wait." She led Gander into the little box which Mr. Bradshaw designated his private office. Closing the door she ‘turned to her brother, a sudden, ‘undefined fear trembling through her limbs.
