Well, old man," he said cheerfully, without loking up, hack so soon? How did you hit it off? Receiving no reply, he raised his head to see his friend huddled in a chair, chin sunk on breast, the picture of abject misery. Good heavens, man! he ejacupen suspended above lated, right-linthe drawing board, she refused you! No, she didnt! retorted Freddy. Russell rose to his feet.

Well, would you mind telling me what you are, then? What am I?" repeated Freddy. Im a dolt, a craven, a a jackass! Russell resumed his seat, looking relieved. Oh, I see, he said, you flunked I thought you would. "Confound you, Tom Russell, what do you mean by that? demanded Lord, angrily. Well, you see, old man, you started out with a too air. Weil, try it yourself once. Not I. I wouldnt do that for pay! Still, if I was going to propose to a girl, I should not depend on an inspiration. I should decide before-hanwhat I wanted to say, and then say it," remarked Russell, calmly. said Freddy, Suffering saints! pacing about the room, why didnt you unload all this advice before I went and made an ass of myself? Now, old fellow, tell me straight, if you were going to propose to a girl, what would you say to her? he asked, lighting a cigarette. Say? Oh, thats dead easy. Id whats her say: Now, see here e name? Mary Alice, tle sheepishly. replied Freddy, a lit- Well, I should say: Now, see here, Mary Alice, of course I dont pretend to have a line on your feelings, and Im not a descendant of Croesus, nor yet of old Midas, but how would you like to share my check book? Now, that weuld fetch her, wouldn't it? he finished triumphantly. Fetch Mary Alice? Gad, but youre innocent! Fetch Mary Alice with that! Why, shed say: Down, Bruno, down on your knees and beg for it! and down youd go, too! Fudge! responded Russell. I tell you, man, girls have to be made love to, and well, I thought I coufd do It; but every time I swung the conversation around that way, she would turn those big eyes on me, and my heart Just did things. I didnt know whether I was whitewashing a ton of coal or rolling a peanut down hill backwards. stormed Well, you can laugh, Lord, rising and casting his cigarette from him. Jerusalem! he went on, "at college, they teach a man everything but the one thing he ought to know. I suppose you wouldnt propose by letter? Russell interrogated, after a time. No, I wouldnt. That's the last resort of a coward, growled Freddy. You couldn't manage it over the phone? You must be Over the phone! daffy! Then Russell commenced, and a long pause followed. After a time, he announced I Then triumphantly: have an idea! I dont believe it! Freddy flung at him politely. Well, you dont have to. Anyhow, you said girls wanted a lot of business? I should think yes! Jove, Tom, they like it as a kitten loves a warm brick in the winter time, informed Freddy. And you can't say the words to her love-makin- g face? No, I cant." Russell looked his suffering chum over critically. Well, Miss McAlden has a phonograph, has she not?
