He was grimly silent, bsoodlng, "And she la coming here tomorrow to visit me my college friend, IUlla Allen." "Is she good looking?" suddenly eager. "We used to call her 'angel face'," answered Marlon dryly. He managed a shrewd smile. "Some girls might call her that In fun." Marlon looked at James Augustus) Brandon with a baffled feeling. She liked him, but that sisterly regard she cherished for Jimmy was not Love, could never be Love, as she had dreamed It, as poets have sung It ! He had proposed to her six times In the last year, and as the time for the seventh proposal drew near, she decided to evade the attack by making him fall in love with some other girl. Happily, this very week, IUlla had written that she could get away from her kindergarten for a week and Just rest. "I have splendid teachers and they can get along without supervision for seven days and think of what we can do In that timet If you happen to have a very fascinating young man around, do i .ve him for me!" "The chance of a lifetime," thought Marlon that night as she brushed her fair hair Into threads of spun gold. "Here Is Jimmy pining for a wife and home here comes Rllla, evidently bored with her kindergarten and wishing she had married that western boy she was once engaged to ! I can read between the lines of her letter she is unhappy Jimmy's unhappy I do believe I am going to become a matchmaker! I must ask Bob Lincoln over so that Jimmy and Angel can be together." She blew a kiss to her charming reflection In the mirror, and snapped out the light. That night she dreamed that Rllla and Jimmy were married and living In a lovely bungalow, but they would tot allow her to come and call on them. "Two's company," they would repeat In that hollow unsatisfying way that speak, and when she awoke she still had that vague, lonesome feeling that she had first felt years ago when her playmate, Jimmy lmndon, had gone away to school. "How funny that I should feel this way," she mused, "when I don't love him a bit just miss him !" She forgot all about It after a while and made certain secret little plans about bringing IUlla and Jimmy together. They were to have a little dancing party the first night Killa danced like a fairy and Jimmy was splendid at it. She sighed a little at the thought of dam-in,- ' with Hob Lincoln, but matchmakers must be and lie knew very well that her two best friends would never desert her after they were married. IUlla came.
