Tubby, ands ln pockets, stared at the candle sconces uiseelng-on the all, fitted uow with weary electric bulbs which gave out barely enough light to disclose the dangling crystal ornaments on the sconces themselves. The grandfather clock la the corner ticked slowly. You re crazy, Bryn and took out his watch. murmured, Me? Tubby asked ln amazement and sat down ln a comfortable chair. The clock. Its slow. My watch says ten minutes to nine. Oh. So you were talking to the clock? Merely a slip. Slip is right, Tubby muttered. Talking to clocks! Tubby went so far as to say that If Bryn, at the age of 8 lx, had not fallen npon him violently one day as they rolled oft a roof together, he would not have bitten the end of his tongue and go begun a lisp which would endure to his dying day, "Thllp 1th right, Bryn repeated absently to himself. Talkingh to clockth. Go to hell, Tubby said bitterly. He folded his hands before him. There was a long silence. Bryn, Tubby said abruptly, and stopped. Tubby, Bryn answered politely Bryn, what are you doing it for? There Isnt any reason why I shouldnt do It Well, Tubby exploded, youre said so herself, blushing furiously. She said the'love a woman had for her husband was something quite different, more wonderful. Stuart Graham was writing to her now. He had begun when she was twenty, and over the first letter Gary hai shaken his head and said It sounded very sudden, somehow; and over the second he said the fellow seemed to want to know an awful lot about what kind of Investments Grandfather had left his money ln. He and Deborah talked It over, and Deborah had said, with those cold fingers at her heart and a smile on her lips, that It didn't matter whether Stuart had any money or not, that surely she had enough for two, and the situation was that if she didn't marry him, poor or not poor, there wouldnt be anything for any of them. The time was desperate. Gary said miserably that they wouldnt be able to pay the taxes on the only home they had. If they didnt get some money soon. So of course there w as nothing to do but go through with It And then the very worst thing of all happened. For some reason that Grandmother couldnt understand, except that since a Graham had done It there must be a reason and a good one, Stuart had Joined the navy two or three years ago. And now something had occurred, something he didnt quite explain. As a result, he was not going to be able to leave his ship by Deborahs twenty first birthday. For a few days, Gary and Grandmother and Deborah were thrown Into consternation; and although for a moment when his letter first came, Deborah had run out and hugged a tree for sheer Joy, she had seen in no time that something had to be done. Stuart had a plan. He had gone on to explain that, fortunately enough, his ship would be with the rest of the Pacific fleet, anchored ln Golden Gate harbor ln San Francisco bay; and that it would be quite simple after all. Deborah could come dow n and meet him In San Francisco, and they could be married there. Quite simple for Stuart, perhaps, but a most upsetting Idea for Deborah and Grandmother and Gary. Obviously, if Deborah went, she must go alone; since Grandmother could not possibly go, and Gary could not possibly leave her. And Deborah had been so little In the world; she had never traveled anywhere alone. The world was a huge noisy whirling place, and she had lived always ln the quiet and peace of the mountains. Still, It was only a matter of a trip to San Francisco; because, once there, she could go directly to the hotel Grandmother knew about, the hotel at which they had stayed years ago; and from the hotel she could go to Mr. Holworthy's office where Stuart would meet her. Stuart was a Graham, and a gentleman, and as soon as she met him her troubles would be over. This was what Grandmother said, and outwardly Deborah assented; but to her he was really a man and a stranger, and ln her heart was a deadly terror of marriage and whatever it might mean, of meeting this strange man and being with him, being alone with him. Grandmother was horrified when they came to contemplate DebShe wanted to orahs wardrobe. write Immediately to Boston and have a large selecMon of articles sent out, hut Deborah convinced her that there was no time, and that they would have to manage with what was In the house. So from they made a traveling costume was It quiet Grandmothers. one of and reserved, although perhaps the lines were not such as a professional dressmaker would have put Into It. It would serve. The dress was made of brown A hat cloth, very neat and plain. was rather a problem, but they evolved one finally, a neat small black tuiban with a modest cluster of velvet pansies on one side. Grandmother sent only one other dress with Deborah; her own wed It on. ding dress. When they tried It fitted perfectly. Deborah looked at herself ln the glass, and then with quickly hack at Grandmother, dark startled eyes. and when her grandmother Is con inced that I am no fortune hunter and that I am a steady going young gentleman with no bad habits and the ability to make Deborah happy. Oh, no, she Isnt," Tubby con- tradicted. Isnt she?" Tubby straightened, ne put hls hand on Bryns arm. Look here, Bryn," he said, whats the use of your trying to hold out on me? Why Consequences? Tubby still sat In the big chair and considered, his blue eyes on Pilar, for one Bryns gray ones. Youd make a very nice couple That Is . . Pilar would make a nice couple And we've settled with anybody. about her, so dont go hack over that again, Tubby. Only theres a suggestion Id like to make. If were you I wouldnt rush over to Pilar's tonight right after the cere mony, because If you were to get down on your knees ln my pants there would certainly be a catas trophe. He stopped ln front of the grandfather clock and gazed earnestly Into Its dingy face until Tubby had stopped making his spluttering noises. There was another long silence. Seven minutes to nine, ham fellow?" Tubby Gra- demanded Do you think hes goabruptly. ing to let any man crack him in the Jaw and then marry his girl without doing anything about It? What about him?" Oh, hes all right, Bryn said His enlisted time doesn'" lazily. expire for two months. And he Isn: much to worry over, anyway. Tubby said prayer Oh, Lord, fully, and put his head ln his hands Bryn went over and sat down beside him. He twreaked the yellow The whole trouble with you lock. Tubby, Is that youre one of these sermons people. I mean you cant help looking for trouble Why cant you take a thing at its '? n.

What about this sailor, this Scenes and Persons in the Current News No? But . . . But we told her she could. I told her. Holworthy told her. Of course, If shes gone off and tried marrying anyone else, he'd have been forced to explain to her that on second reading . . . and so on, So," Tubby said with the manner of a talkie villain. Well, Bryn said for the third time, what of It? It gets her out of a Jam, doesnt It? And you pay over a million of your own dollars at the end of a year, and she gives you fifty thou sand for your services. Is that the way It works, noble Sir Galahad? "Oh, I dont know. I think we can break the will. Holworthys going to do hls damnedest. And, if he can't . . . well, the money means quite a hit to her. If when you meet her youll understand a little better, Tub.
