She didn't say anything to me-mr; mother knows me pretty well-buti she kept cooking all my favorite dltr'a. i " for me. and trying to teed me up with the things I liked the best.

I needed feeding up. I was los- ii"! weight right along. They talked so much about work being an anodyne in trouble. It isn't ~-nnt in trouble like mine. I flung impel! on those old law books, and I (studied like a son of a gun, but there iwaen‘t a minute of the time that I,I-Jllie'm brown eyes didn't look oat of {the page at me, and when I wasn't just crazy to go round to her house and hen: her to make it up. It did one thing for me, though. When I went to take my bar exam il rode through with flags flying. And ithe chief examiner wrote a letter. to Nudge Gordon and congratulated him ;«.n having prepared me, and said tsuch nice things about me that the iohl judge rumbled with joy. . But it was dust and ashes to me. Lllere I'd expected to be the happiest :fellow in the world when I got ad- imitted lathe bar. It didn't give me "Surely, I'll do it," he said. And with that I went out to the cloak- room, got my hat, and went home. I thought he could tell Ellie, and-- well, I kept telling myself I didn't care what she thought, or said, or did. I was through. Now, in a town like ours nothing can happen out of tho way that isn't noticed and commented on, and so the story of the trouble between me and Ellie ubout young Boardman was buzzed about pretty freely the next day and from that time on. I never will a word, but plenty of people spoke to me about it-remarks rang- ing from joooseness to serious at- tempts to be sympathetiv. I wouldn't talk to any of 'em, I had just three places to Co, and in one of 'em you could find me at any time: home, the hotel, or the judge's cffice, and in every place l was hard at work every minute. "Would it be too much trouble for you to take Miss TreadWell home to- night? My father isn't well, and I'm anxious to leave early.

And he was up l'rwro all the time he could spare- from the mo-and it was con- sidvrable. for he was an awful light- wcight when it came to business. and the manager was only too pleased when he Was out of night. And he had things sent down from the city for her-ruusie, and books, and candy, Here l'd expected to be the happiest follow in the world when I got ad- mitted tothe bar. It didn't give me a thrill. Even leaving the hotel and taking my place in Judge Gordon's, office and having everybody come around and wish me good luck, and tell me how proud of me they were--- and our folks in town were mighty kind-why. I hardly took any inter- Time and time again I longed to speak to her. to tell her how I felt, to beg her to let me come back on any terms. But I was afraid to. And I was proud, too.

When the weather broke and it was time to make the garden, our bundle of shrubbery came, and I took it out back and unpacked it. It was a Saturday night, and I heeled in everything but theitwo little plants I'd ordered secretly. There they were, dry iittle runts, with a label nearly no big as they were. They looked like nothing tt all. I stuck 'em in an old wash boiler in the woodshcd, where Mother wouhin't find 'em, and went in and ate my supper. Well, sir, my hands shook, and I was all hot and cold when I rang the bell. Mrs. Treadwell let me in. She's a nice woman. ' "Why, Red Long!" she excaimed, hearty and kind.

I went downstairs the back way to keep out of Mother's sighb-Mother's so earned eleven. in guessing what lhn up to without a word being said-and I hunted the little wrapped-up plants out of the wash boiler and hot-footed it across town. It was so early that I figured Boardman wouldn't have time to be at Ellie’s yet, even if he was coming up that evening. -. She turned on a light, and kept talking retty fast about how was my mother and father and how pleased she was about my being with Judge Gordon, and stuff like that.

I just Mood and looked at her. We didn’t either of us speak. At last I held out my foolish- looking little package. "I've brought you something," I said. "Do you want it?" She stepped over toward me and reached out her hand and took it. "That is--" she began. And then she read the name on the label: "Matrimony Vine." And what do you suppose she did? Women are the strangest creatures and do the oddest things.
