Anyway, 'there was a feeling at him. "Don't," she 'pleaded. "'I'm I toall of them; boys were thrown in all through. I• do feel better although by the dozens.

One of them was my room- mate and we had 'planned to do every- thing together. Double wedding nd all that. Well, lite a nut I wrote back that no one knew about it, but that I was engaged too. She hadn't mention- ed the name of the man she was going to marry. Only called him by his nick- name Needless to say I did the same I said how sweet he was, and what a heavenly ring I had, and a lot of such bunk. Now laugh and tell me you nev- er heard of anything so silly.' "I don't see anything about that to get het up about," Harry replied. "Well, that's not, the worst. This morning I had' a telegram from my roommate saying she was coming to 'visit me for a week, arriving this af- ternoon; and I can' produce a man, or a ring, or anything!" "That is bad," Harry agreed. "I wish I hadn't signed up for that golf tournament, I'd stiek around for a week -engaged to you. I'm pretty good in that line." Peggy .laughed. "That wouldn't help. Gran wouldn't let you in the front door. I couldn't leave even a pretended hushand-to-be parked here on the road for a week. There's noth- ing to it. I'll either have to confess the whole thing, or say I've broken off the engagement, and listen t'o l er rave about her fiance." - "Isn't there something we can do?" Harry querier, thrusting his hands in- to his pockets and stretching out his long legs in preparation for thought. "I've got it!" he exclaimed jumping up suddenly "Look!" bringing his hands from his pockets he held one of them • out to hed. There was a small jewelers box in the palm.. He opened the box and Peggy was star- ing at a beautiful ring with a star. design of sapphires set in platinum on each side of a large square tut diamond. "How lovely;" She exclaimed. "Yes, it is pretty, isn't it? I had it made in New York. But it's no good to me now. At least it won't be until I get home. Then I may try to patch things up. But you can have it for a week. I'm going to be in Lockton that long." . "Oh, • I couldn't," -Peggy cried. "Thanks a lot for offering, but I couldn't use some other girl's ring." "Wihy not? She'll never know it. I know you'll be careful with it. You've got to take it. I won't have you em- barrassed like that "just over a ring when I, have one right here that isn't being used anyway. Try it on and see ifit' fits." Hesitatingly, Peggy reached for the ring and slipped it on the third fing- er of her left hand. See, it's perfect," Harry cried with delight. "Go on now, show that to your ex -roommate and let her laugh it off. I`ve got to go to make 4l.ockton in time to play this afternoon. I'll the back here a noon a week from to- day. Pll meet you here and you can give it back to me then." "But -why --1 musn't take your this way. I might lose it, or so might steal it." "You aren't going to think all that when you get your own engagement ring, are you? Well, why should any- thing be more likely to happen to this one than if it were your own? Don't be silly. But don't forget to meet me hear next Wednesday, or I'll come charging up to thedoor and demand my property from your grandmother. Have a grand time this week and tell me all about'it Wednesday.' Pe°'gy was standing now, staring at the ring. "I can't begin to tha,llc you. You're 'Must a peach to do this for me, and I'll be here wih the ring' when you come back. Good luck at the golf, and I hope your real girl will be as thrilled to have this back as I am to have it now. It's the love- liest thing I've ever seen." Harry jumped • into the - t'oadster with its scarred windshiedr, which they , had both forgotten, and drove away with a last wave at the girl who brakes. "What a day "- she murmured as here 'in the stillness of the country of companionship, sitting morning, she ran forward to see what tis -aster ' gazing _across the road into the mead• she thad caused.

He smiled, and Peggy decided 'he looked rather nice when he smiled. "No; no one's hurt," he answered. "I'm alone, and the non-shatterable glass did its stuff. It looks funny, though, doesn't .it?" Quickly, if awkwardly, Peggy had difficulty finding a footing through the clinging tendrils of honeysuckle that covered it. But at last she was up, and the boy, for he was scarcely more than that, helped her down.• There were leaves 011 the gray tweed o, her skirt, and a splinter from the rkil fence had broken- a stitch in her green wogs-- sweater.
