Nothing; short of miracle, at least In his eyfes, was the fact'that of all the milling admirers about this phantom of delight, her glance should fall, linger and conclude by adoring Michael, fifteen years her senior and belonging to the back-rank andvUle of the almost extinct coachmen. Naturally, it was here that her Influence entered most violently. Within two weeks after the bewildering knowledge that ltoselle was in love with him, the two of them, hand in hand, like children, had sought out the school for automobile drivers, where Mjchael was enrolled for evening work. Two weeks later, his first payment of his nest egg of five hundred dollars was made on an orangecolored, slightly used taxicab, and three mouths later a newly licensed Chauffeur, in a natty cravenette suit, laggings and cup, was doing his test driving on^a speedway Just outside tlie town»- . ; - , It wias by all o«lds the most exciting event that had ever* entered his life, and to mitigate what might have be^n the pain of It, Hotspur was td" he relegated for liglit farm work to the truck garden' of an uncle of R©£ selle's, where the pair, when they were wedded, could visit him /»f a Sunday". It .was, all, ,ss, lioselle put It, just ;toohotsy- totsy fbr anything, except th*t the slip up came where not even heir sharp foresight could have ever anticipated It, • One week before the wedding of Michael and Roselle, apd that same one week before Michael was to assume his permanent place on the^ax^* cab, Roselle staged a party. ' It was a pretentious affair, given In the back yard of the little house on the outskirts, of town'which Roselle shared with parents and a brood of. small brothers and sisters. There were -.^colored paper lanterns strung on clothes line. Dancing on the back porch, to ukelele music supplied by some of Iloselle's old flames among the taxi boys. Strawberries and cream and homemade ginger bread passed by ttoselle'** perspiring mother and smalter brothers and sisters. It was toward the end of the evening, after Michael and Roselle had been obliged by their warmed-up guests to dance a fandango, that the real novelty of the' occasion took place. " Led Into the back yard by four of Roselle's little brothers and sisters, head down, tail down, eyes down, was Hotspur! Hotspur, mind you, rigged, up in a white lace ruff, and a berlbbo «»ed sunbonnet and a large veil of lace curtain caught by orange blossoms at the neck. Hotspur, the sweet-eyed, delicate nostriled, satin-flanked Hotspur, standing there abashed by the ribaldry, quivering under, ridicule, detained by geegaws! It seemed to Michael, seeing It happen, as if his heart had stopped and with It his desire to ever live again. Crackling laughter about him, Ro: selle clapping her hands and skipping, about the dejected figure of Hotspur; the guests applauding this latest coup of their piquant little hostess; It came over Michael suddenly that here, In this humiliating moment probably resided blessing. Here, In this moment ofhurting for,Hotspur, there came to him the impossibility of what he was about to do. Michael belonged on his box, behind Hotspur. Roselle, bless her, belonged to that age out there.
