"We couldn't help overhearing your conversation just now, and I gather you were, on your way 'to be "married.". He looked at his wristwatch. "Let's • see, it was around nine -thirty when you told • me Paul had come 'back, and now' it's only-" "All this talk is pretty u13e1ess, it seems to me," Paul said. "Claire and I were on our way to be married. W e were taking a short-eut to the' home of the J. P., when. we got stuck in the mud .and had to run for shelter." He had a sudden thought. "Say, you've got a car, 'haven't you, .R,ql-, lins ?" - "Naturally;" said Bill. "How abiut•--letting Claire and me have it?" Paul said brightly, '"We've got an appointment with the J. P. He'll wonder what's happened to us. Stepping closer to Claire, he took one of her hands, "We'll be back with 'it the moment ewe'.re, married." Claire pulled her hand free. "If you think I'm .going out in this down- pour again, you're crazy!" she said. "But, darling, the J. P., will be wor- ried!" "Tben let him be worried," Claire snapped: "I'm tired, and wet,' and disgusted.". "Goodness me!" said Diaa• "Ima- gine being disgusted when you're on the verge of: taking unto yourself a husband."

"What?" :Said Paul, 'who had been lost: in • 'unpleasant musings. "Oh, beans. Yes, I'd like some."• "Men!" said Claire. "Always think- ing hinking about their stomachs." "Why not?" seapped Paul. "Ive got to think about -'something " "And I debit dare think about my heart," said Bill, "after what you've done to 4t." Claire (brightened. "Do you really feel bad about what I did, Bill?" she asked almost eagerly. "Of course." . "Now,e'esaid Dian, "do ybu feel bet- ter?" Ste didn't wait for Claire to 'reply, but moved to the door leading to the dining room "Come along, Bill," she called, "and help me." "Right with you," said Bill. "Shall I bring one of the lamps?" - "Yes-th'at one on the •mantel." Bill got the lamp and 'followed Dian out of the room.. When the ''two of them were, gone, Claire sat for ' a moment` gazing into space. Then She. spoke. "Paul, dear," she said. "Yes," Said Paul. think it's Fate." "You think what's Fate?" "Our being stuck in the mud -be- ing forced to postpone our'marriage." "Nonsense."' "I think," Claire went on somewhat dreamily, "I think it wasn't; intended that I should dash off to marry you sq soon after-er-jilting Bill Rol- lins." "Why bring that up again? • "I mean maybe Fate intended that I should Make more time to think it over. After all, .one should not be too hasty when taking Ruch a serious step as getting married." "We haven't been hasty," said Paul. • * !'Maybe fate intended that I should take more time to think it over:' "I tell you I'm not going," Claire said. "But darling-" .' • "Listen," Bill interrupted, "neither of you Is going, My car's .got a brok- en spring. It happened when I drop'- ped• into a mud -Fuddle. We're mar- ooned here --the four of us-" "Oh!" skald Claire. "You mean-iri- defin•itely." "Definitely!" said Bill. "Just like on 'a desert island," said Claire, a slow smile forming about her lips. s "Yes," said Dian,' "and if this rain keeps up, we will be in an island." "You mean your car can't be driv- en?" said Paul. ' "Exactly!" { "Then how are we to get back to town -or to •the J. P.'s?" "That," said Dian, "is in the lap of the gods." "We'll have to sit tight," said Bill, "and wait until the storm abates." "Then what?" •- "Then one of us can get to the main road and Rhumb a ride." • "Or, said Dian, "I might go along Sad throe?' another shoe." 1 "Net a bad idea,' • Bil'l laughed.

I was 16 and yoar•.were 14 -and I had it all planned. ' A cottage out near the' Country Club, where we could be close to golf .and dancing?" He chuckled. "You were a sweet kid, a little on the plump side at that time, but I loved you like all git-out. Fun- ny, how much love a boy of 16 can carry around with -him." "Do stop reminis,4ing," said Gtaire., "I'm .more interested in the present. As I said, I think it's Fate,- and--" "Say, wbat brought .all this on?" Paul asked. "Our being thrown here together this way," said Claire. "You, Bill and me. I've the strangest sort of feeling that Fate threw us together so that I could make a -a -sort of test.

Anyway, Paul, •I want more time to' think -to study you both in this lone- ly spot " "What do you think we are -bugs under glass?" Claire laughted. "That's cute, Pauh Really it is." "Maybe you ought to get Rollins and me on a desert isl'a'nd.". • . aWhy, Paul?" • "So we could show you how clever we are. at building shacks, and 'start- ing fires by rubbing two sticks to- gether.'' "Oh, Paul, can -you really do that? How clever!" Paul groaned. "Well, I'll be darn- ed!" he said. "Paul, please;" said Claire. "Then stop talking nonsense. The way you •.talk' is enough 'to make a men swear." • "That's because you're utterly un- reasonable," said Claire. ' . , "Me -unreasonable," paid Paul. ,"Ye gods and little fishes!" "Besides," 'Claire went on, "I think comparing you and Bill -testing you -is a perfectly logical idea, and-" "Maybe it is," said .Paul;, "from the feminine point of view. Bet' -forget it, Claire. We've get other things to think about." "Nothing as important." "Getting married -that's more im- portant." •- "Not at the moment -no." "Listen, Claire," said Paul firmly, "we're going to be married the• mom- ent we can get the J.

"Come "en out here, you two, and make yourselves useful," She said. "Well," said Claire, springing to her feet. "That's certainly a break -getting away from your dictatorial ideas." "Oh, yes!" said Paul. "I suppose you'll start testing Bill in, the kit- chen." - "Maybe. Anyway, it's a good place to begin." Claire hurried into the dining room, Paul right behind her. Out .there, Dian showed them where the tablecloths and silver were kept. "Youtwo can -set 'the table," she said. "Bill and Iwill have the coffee and -beans ready in a jiffy." She •turn- ed to ]3,111, who was:: in the doorway watching, an amused expression upon his' face. "All right, Bill," she said, "come on and, stir the beans before they scorch." "Okay," Said Hill. "No, wait a' minute," Claire said. "Let/ Paul stir that beans."l• She smil- ed at ihim, "After all you've told me, darling, about roughing it in the wilds You, ought to be a marvel with a ,fry- ing pan." "But, Claire," Paul protested, "Dian told us to' get the table ready. and-"' "Bill can' help me with the •table," said Cia'ire. "You go. stir the beans. I think you and. 'Dian ought to get a- long marvelously , in a kitchen." "Thanks," said Dian. "Oh, all right,"'. said 'Paul. He and Dian went out together; Bill leaned against the Sideboard. He .atudied Claire intently, it furrow between his brows. "Anything wrong with me, Bill?" Claire asked. "No," said Bill. "Oh, no. I was just thinking about the way you func- tion ---when a situation like title comes up." '°What do you mean?"•. Claire was puzzled, "Oh, let's just forget it," •said Bill. "But I don't want to forget it. I want to •know ' what you were really thinking." "I- was thinking haw lovely your hair .look's in the softness of the lamp Light," Bill lied. Clalre smiled.

They are not a luxury; they are a weapon .of, war. "And 'they're graund the pipes. When 'I've been that tired on the march I' could have lain doors and deed, the touch of the pipes has fair lifted nee up again." So said one of the Camerons after Loos in the last war at a .New Year jollification, when on the platform abode the banquet- ing board a piper"hailbeen playing, and that hall in France was filled with the wild strains of the pipes. At Dargai, Piper Findlater of, the Gardena was awarded the V.C. mere- ly for playing, 'several other, other • pipers, couragement and in- spiration at the head of the attack. The Gordons'" would hardly have thanked you for butter on that day. -I•t was something a good deal more stirring they craved. The martial thrill of the . pibroch carried them away. The curious hing is that the bag- pipes are not native to Scotland, or even long-established in that land. Their introduction into Scotland was as late as the reign of Mary Queen of Scots., The ancient Caledonian in- strument of music was, the harp, as in Wales and Ireland. At Bannock- burn each soldier blew a little horn, the noise of which was as, horrible "as if all the devils had been let loose."' The bagpipes came to Scot- land probably from, France, and their, place '..of origin 'in remote antiquity seems to have been Italy. Nero, the Roman. Emperor, we are told, had the instrument on. his coinage, and he had promised to give a popular exhi- bition on the pipes, "when death prov- identialey intervened." 65 floors above the sidewalks of Radio City!
