Eunice dragged her fingers from his clasp and turned away before he could recover from the evident shock of Ollje’s communication. “With Abe!” repeated Ollle’s osten- sible “friend” in a consternation that forgot the presence of others. “Her and Abe!” “This is the first time I have saw youâ€"since I begun to come Sundays.” he said with evidently gigantic eflort to conquer his embarrasment at the acknowledgment he was making in Ollie’s very presence. “Where was you at Sunday nights still when I come over?” “Where was she at?” spoke up Ollie boisteronsly. “Out on the back porch settin’â€"with our Abe. That’s where she’d be tonight, too.

Eunice looked at him in surprise. To ask her to commit a breach like that, to violate the social code that no third person must be present at a' Sunday night “setting up”-â€"was he wandering in his wits?

Hen’s gloom deepened to despair.“ “AJu’t, Hen?" Ollie tried to rouse him to some ardor. The fact was the girl was weary of her bondage to her father’s mercenari- ness and longed for the freedom from it that marriage would give her, espeâ€" l cially marriage with one so well fixed as Hen Mncklehenny. and she was hop- ing by this suggestion of going to town to stir her lover into some alarm at the thought of losing her and thin precipitate their betrothal and mar- riage. True, he had been coming to see her only a few months. but where was the use of indefinite delay? ll A l_ .A “Now!” exclaimed Hen with forced nympathy. “But. then, to be sure, if I was in town stayin’ me and you us we couldn’t keep comp’ny Sunday even- 1n town.

He waited. fairly quivering with eagerness for the appearance of the sweet. fair girl whose image filled his dull soul. Were his many weeks of dreaming about her about to be crowned with the actual realization of the bliss of “sitting up” with her? Would she in a few minutes be seat- ed in this chair at his side. her hand clasped in his? His ecstatic expecta- tion quite drove from his mind the spleen and disappointment of poor Ol- lie. “fur pop aln’t leavln’ Eunloe keep comp’ny with no oneâ€"«our Abe nor no one else!

Yous, none of yous, could see that a teller might want Eunice even 11' she don’t have no aussteuer. her bein' such a good looker that way." “That’s wot!” said Ben courageous- ly. Ollie rose and confronted him, her dull complexion flushing a deep red. “You come here to set up with Eunice!" Now that Hen had got started lt seemed as easy as rolling downhill. He exalted buoyantly. like one who had shaken off shackles. “If I am, it ain’t because I come here for that intention. It’s because yous all had a mlsunderstandin’ about the lady friend I wanted to pick out- which it was Eunice and not you. Ollie." The fatal words were out. Ben grasped the arms of his rocker as though to save hlmselt from plunging into an abyss that yawned at his feet. “Makln’ a mistake! How am I mak- ln’ a mistake?" the bewildered Ollle demanded. “Ain't you settln’ up wlth me Sundays?" - “What you talkin', Hen? What would you. he wantin' to give hopes to Eunice fur when you’re my regular comp‘ny?’ “That’s where you're makln' a big mistake, Ollie." Kgain Ollie turned to stare at him to dumb amazement Ben’s tongue was fairly running away with him. “Well. then. if Eunice don't iook so high, there’s me. I’m better fixed than what Abe is. And her not havln' no aussteuer wouldn't make me no difference." town young ladies where’s so well fixed and got it so good they can board ‘ all summer and spend out money with- out workin’ nothin' to bring more inâ€" not even their own housework at home.
