The girls surrounded the boy, and streamed away chattering. The matron in yellow came back to her card table. And Harriet, unf urllng her parasol, deep in conversation with the captured soldier, sauntered slowly after the tennis players. The afternoon sunshine sent clean shadows across the clipped grass ; the stretched blue silk of Harriet's parasol threw a mellow orange light upon her tawny hair and safTron-coloregown. Richard had a child's desperate wish that he was dressed, and might run after them. But it was not at the tennis that he looked, twenty minutes later, when he reached the courts; although a brilliant play was being made, and there was a spattering of applause. His eyes Instantly found Harriet's figure; she was still talking to the Frenchman, whose olive face was glowing with Interest and admiration, and not more . than eight Inches, Richard thought, from her own. Harriet's own face wore the shadow of a smile, her lashes were dropped, and she was gently pushing the point of her closed parasol Into the green turf. The chairs In which they sat had been slightly turned from the court. Richard engaged himself In conversation with two or three men and women who were watching trie youngsters' game, and presently found himself applauding his son for n brilliant ace. But after perhaps five minutes he walked quite without volition, straight to Harriet's neighborhood, and she rose at once, Introduced her new friend, and with a glance at her wrist, announced that she must go. "Ward said he would drive me home the Instant It was over," said Harriet, clapping heartily for the triumphant finish of the set. "I'll drive you home !" Richard said, Instantly. "I've the small car." "Friday night!" Harriet smiled. For Friday night was the night for a men's dinner and poker game at the country club, and Richard usually liked to be there. "I can come back!" he persisted suddenly caring more for this concession than anjthlnr'se In the world.

But for any man to put a proposition like that to any woman" They w era driving very slowly. He looked at her again, and met a won-- ' derlng look In her beautiful eyes that still further contused him. He had been uncomfortably conscious of an odd confusion In touching upon this subject at all. Yet his mind had been full of It all duy. "I never felt It so, I assure yooT Harriet said with her lucid, friendly look. Richard felt that there was more to say, but realized that he had selected an unfortunate time for these e contrctlably. 1 HATFIELD SABINA, OHIO "But" off the light'' Nina interposed, with deep satisfaction.

"Ward, get tn or get out," she added, maternally, "don't hang over the door in that way !",-.'She had put her arm about the boy to steady him; they began to discuss tennis scores with enthusiasm. Richard drove the rest of the way home almost without speaking.

It was now hilf-pas- t eleven. Richard debated sending Harriet message to the effect thnt he would like to see her for a moment. The fiuw In this plan was that he could think of nothing about which there wns the slightest necessity of seeing her. He felt restless and anything but sleepy, and glanced Irresolutely at the library door, and at the stairway. Suddenly uproar broke out upstairs ; there were thumping feet, shrieks, wild laughter, and slamming doors. With a suddenly lightened heart Rich ard ran up the wide, square flight to the landing.
