Gardner Lane was busy with the de-
lightful task of painting Amy Roland's
portrait, If you had seen Amy you
would have really envied him, for
she was truly lovely.
On thls particular day Amy left the
studio somewhat later than usual for
the picture was just at an Interesting
stage and Gardner could not bear to
stop work till the last bit of daylight
had vanished, lifts. Roland, who al-
ways came with her daughter, had left
early to keep an appointment and
Aury had promised to meet her at
five,
grdner had kept her till the last
pos able moment and she was hurry-
ing toward the front door, when she
ran directly into a young man who
was coming in the opposite direction.
"I beg pardon," exclaimed Amy, -as
she bounced back in surprise. "Why,
Billy Lane," she added, as she recog-
nized him, "Where in the world did
you come from? I haven't laid eyes
on you for over two years;'
"Just got here, Amy. I've been out
in Colorado working hard. But even
an obscure farmer has a right to a;
vacation now and then, so I'm taking
two weeks this thne. Maybe It islet
good to see you again—you haven't
changed much except to grow up more.
I suppose you'd forgotten all about me,
though."
Amy blushed slightly, but it was too
dark to see.
"I hadn't, really; but of course two
years is a long time, In another one
I might forget whether your hair was
red or brown. It's hart] to remember,
much when you're kept pretty busy."
Billy laughed ruefully.
Amy held out her hand with a frank
and engaging smile. In another mo-
n?enct she was gone,
"For heaven's sake," cried Gardner,
spying his ^brother from the floor
above. "When did you get here? Well,
maybe it isn't good to see you again,
too! Is tltis a pleasure trip?"
"Not exactly. The truth of the mat-
ter Is I'm enlisting in about two weeks
and I wanted to see the old town be-
fore I went over."
"Great Scott, you don't say so! 1
would myself but l'tn beyond the draft
age and I hate to leave my work—
i?m really needed here. Could they
spare you all right?"
"Weli, you see, I'm my own boss, so
P just sold out and'came along. I
Couldn't Stay out of it any longer and
I'd nothing to hold me back, either."
"I'm single, too, but I may not be
long—that's one reason wiry I don't
want to enlist,"
"Who is it --Louise?"
Gardner laughed. "I should say
not] I've had 0 dozen since Louise.
it's Amy this time. I haven't told her
yet, but I'm going to marry her,"
Two days later Amy went for !m-
other sitting for her portrait and again
she found Billy in the hall 00 het' way
home.
"Hello, 111r. Hermit," site scoffed:
"You're not wnsting time on your old
friends this trip, are you?"
'Most of there seem to he pretty
busy themselves."
"Well, I'ut not for one, tied to prove
it I'll Invite you to go for 0 wall( with
me now.
"Tsai it lovely out today?" cried
Amy entbusiest icnlly,
"Yes, but you'd never cull this beau-
tiful If you could see It out where 1
live. Mount:11ns and hills and valleys
everywhere you look. And the sun-
sets—you'd love those suneetS, Amy.

"Na 1 would -love it l" she agreed,
and almost surprised lo'rielf by her
flint terror,
"tint you visit me 80010 day then—
you and your husband?"
"We'll the delighted ---provided 1 have
one by thee time,"
"In the meantime will you c:msider
an lnvitet k,» to Cline with ale this ei'e-
nine?"
"I'm sorry, Billy, but I'ut going to
dinner at the Seatons' with Gardner—
they asked me ages ago• But I've had
a lovely walk with you."
"So have I, too. Good night."
"Billy!"
"What ran I do for you?" •
"Don't you ever Want to walk home
with'nle agnin? I have three enor'e sit-
tings," .
"01 00tn'se I went to. But a man
doesh't do ,ill the things he wants to—
worse luc1; 1 I'll see you before long,
.though. Good -by."
"I think you're the theft, and you
make 100 cross," flared Amy, and re-
fused to notice his proffered hand.
Whereupon Billy pondered long on
the vagaries of women and kept out
of Amy's way for the next two days.
But on the Any that she came for her
last sitting she found hint standing be-
fore her pleturo in the studio with a
strange look on hie face.
"Don't look so sad, Billy---i'ua not
dead ;vet."
"Hello, Amy ; I didn't expect you' p
day, Gardner went to New York, but
he sent you a message at the last min-
ute --you must have left before thrt
nroSsenger arrived at your home,
"1 did. You don't seem overfo&ed
to sec me yourself --don't let me keels
you. What have I dobe to you, Billy,

any more than you honestly love Me.
Aud I want to be friends --you're' a
better friend than you would be a
husband—dc;n't you truly think, Gard-

Gardner smiled in spite of himself.
"Where did you learn so much
about being In love, little Amy?"
"I learned the little 1 know irons 'a

Forgive me, but it's the truth. And
you'll still be my friend, won't you?"
"You can be perfectly sure about
that," returned the rejected suitor

Amy waved her hand to him and
then turned and walked rapidly in the
opposite direction from her own house.

seemed . to travel ton slowly. She
dragged herself wearily up the steps
