It was in the sweet c1 summer time, when one’s especial de- a ‘ sire is to 1011 in a hammock or paddle c l ‘ about in a boat or do anything that re- h quires no exertion. Then. too, the a l warm season is particularly adapted to e ‘ spooninv. Miss Georgia Middleton was i - apparently not averse to that sort . ‘ of thing, so I spooned with her. In 1 ' fact, she began it. I am always dis.‘ g trustful of a girl who doesn't wait for l 1 a man to enter upon a flirtation. It is’ ‘ prima facie evidence that she is in for a bit of fun at his expense. ‘ Mr. Middleton owned a ranch in the t W 1 West and had spent much of his time 1 ‘ 1' there. The consequence was that Geor- ‘ ‘1 gia, who took a liking to ranch life,t d was With her father in the west more H than in the east. She was therefore a ,‘ mixture of lady and hoyden. Conven- . ‘ tionality she spurned. She had spent H enough of her life in civilization to d become familiar with good manners 3 and enough time in the west to cause d her to practice them only when it suit- . to ad her own sweet will. 'k The eastern country home of the Mid. n 3 dletons was in sizable grounds. cov-; :Ci ared with virgin timber. Georgia was 1‘: is much at home on a horse's back as ’e in her feet and scoured the country '1 mounted and alone. When her father 0_, suggested her taking; her groom with of her she replied: "No. thanks. I have nu.“ no mind to bring: sorrow on my dear hell papa's head by exposing myself to the blandishments of a good looking stable- man. I’d rather run the risk of a cow- boy.” Since it was well known that E when any lovemaking was in the wind Miss Georgia was the aggressor this statement was taken for what. it was ent Worth. > I 3 5 3 ) . ‘ ‘ ‘ ”-21 W ‘1!

I came down to breakfast :to find Miss Georgia in the kitchen ?. in spotless white, 21 paper cap on her ‘3 head, handling the cooking utensils twith the handiness of a chef.
