"And this young man?" Big John laughed and gave Jack a resonndmg blow on the shoulder: • "My. sin.Introduced this young lady as his future wife," He shook with laugh- ter. "I accept you, my dear." Maida had recovered and answered with some' spirit:: "I haven't accepted him yet." "Mercy on us1" 'exclaimed Mrs: Car-' leton, wondering how the young people had become acquainted while she was gone. "Where are you. stopping', John?" she asked familiarly, for she. had known him intimately when they were woung. "Bless my soul!" he exclaimed, as though just recalling something that had slipped his memory. "I must wire my wife that the boy has been located. He gave us quite a fright. And Mary," he was answering her question, "I would be glad to stop over Sunday with you,' if.•I may. 1 should like to see 'Lucky' again, too. Moreover, I think this young couple should be given a chance to explain their ac- quaintance," and his eyes twinkled as he looked from Jack to Maida. When he returned after sending a message to his wife, it amused him to hear Jack say to Maida: "It must be milking time, don't you think?" Big John's shoulders were shaking and Mrs. Carleton's lips were twitch- ing as they followed the young couple outside. Jack did not notice the spick and span new roadster that waited by the curb. ' Neithcr did he see the occu- pant who straightened up and leaned forward as the party drew near. "You base deserter!" exclaimd Dudley Mar- tin, as his feet touched the' curb, al- most at Jack's side. "Hello,. Dud," said Jack, a broad grin on his face. "Is your gun loaded? PART III.It was nearly one o'clock when. Maida's windows were finished, and it was mail time. Jack was 'nowhere to be seen. Mr. Carleton received a letter from his wife. "Your mother is coming on the 5,35 to -night, Maida. You will meet her?" "Gladly," she answered. "My, won't it seem good to have mother. home?" Her father agreed that it would. "I will have Jackson clean the car, I think," she added, but no Jackson answered her call. However, the sound of the dinner -horn brought him. "Where were you when I called, Jackson?" she asked, as they were sitting down at the table. "Really, I do not remember. I have been cleaning the barn." Mr. Carleton glanced from one to the other, and noticed that the young people never looked at each other. "I peeked into the pantry cupboards this morning and I thought they looked rather bare," said Mr. Carleton. "You had better start early enough to visit the food shop, and lay in a new supply." 'he picked it up. His clothes, brushed When the meal was over, Mr. Carle- ; and pressed, hung in the small closet. ton laid 511 by Jack's plate..

"I am afraid I should have been Dudley began to slow down. "We are just about to the place where Jack deserted me, while I went back for gas," he said, and shortly after, brought the car to a stop. Mr. Allen got out of the machine and walked about. He looked across the fields at the large white farm- house. "Suppose they could tell us anything?" he asked. "I hardly think so. Better go back to the town. Jack would not bother to go to a farmhouse." It was just then that Maida called to Jack. "It is time,to get ready, Jackson." As he was going to the house, he looked across to the main road, and saw a car standing in the identical spot that Dudley's had stood, when he, Jack, had9 deserted. Two men were walking about. "That spot must be shoo-doo'd,'." he thought, and entered the house. Jack found his one fine shirt, beau- tifully laundered, lying across the bed. "The little wonder," he whispered, as "Not just yet, Dud. Perhapsthat may happen later," returned Mr. Al- len, with 'a grin in Jack's direction. "I'11 see you Monday?" Dudley nodded, and after a few words with Mrs: , Carleton" and Maida, entered his car arid drove away: • The Carletons' "Liz" was pretty well packed, but they climbed in, and were soon home. Big John watched his son with great amusement, and when Jack came downstairs in overalls, blue work shirt and heavy shoes, he haw -hawed loudly. "Laugh, dad," grinned Jack. "I don't care: I am a 'regular' farmer. I can milk, plow, and—" "Yes," Maida interrupted entering the room dressed for her home work. "Yes, Jackson is really a wonderful 'hired man.' '! "Hired man!" echoed Big ,John, be- tween roars of laughter. "But see here, Jack, I would like to know how you became `Lucky'. Carleton's hired man."o' "All in •good' time, dad," returned Jack. "Now, those cows must be milk- ed," and he left the room. Maida followed him. Her .thoughts and feelings were in a turmoil. "His future' wife," she whispered, and blushed at the thought. ' Jack watched her as she came, his heart beating madly. As Maida enter- ed the stable door, he took her arm. "Maida," he entreated, softly, drawing her all the time nearer. "Maida," he z peated, holding her close. "You are going to accept me, are you not?" "Yes, I think I will, now." (The End.) LEMON 'PIE.

Then he proceeded to introduce the now sur- prised Dudley to Mrs. Carleton and her daughter. "It is a shabby trick, Dud, to get you away off here and dismiss you, but I am staying the week end with some old friends, Mrs.' Carleton and her family," said Mr. Allen. "That is all right, Mr. Allen," re- turned Dudley, his eyes on Jack and Maida. "Shall I return for Mrs. A- len and Grace?" . fingering his money the first he had ever earned. Mr. Carleton laughed, but the refer- ence to his permission, raised Jack considerably in his estimation. "Fix; ashamed of you, had something not it up with Maida.

Maida turned and stared from one to the other. Big John looked from his son to the girl.. Jack was the first to recover. "Hello, dad!" he said, and taking Maida's arm, led her across the room. "May I pre- sent my father, Mr. Allen, to Miss Carleton, my future wife?" Big John gasped; Maida gasped, and hex -dace turned a; rosy_hue.
