she skipped over unto the big black bair-
cloth sufa, and went off into fits of
laughter.
John was accustomed to his sister's
'' high spirits and was not surprised.' He
faced round with his hands in his
pockets, looking very sheepish.
"Oh, shut up, Lib," he said appealing-
, 1y, trying to furce a laugh. "I tell you
it's no joke." -
Libbie sat up suddenly, looking very
serious. Something made her get up
and go to him.
.,Why she'll have you, Jockie, of

"I don't believe she will, Lib," said
her brother, submitting meekly to her
affectionate rumpling of his curly
hair.

"Can't 1 Why ?"
"Well, I'll just tell you, Lib." And
John ruse and walked nervously up arid
. down the sitting room. "You see it's
this way. John and me made a bar-
. gain more than a month ago that we
wouldn't neither of us ask Nellie un-
til she'd showed some preference, you
know, till she'd sort of shoved one off,
the way you do, you know. And who-

they've talked her up until she's scared
that we don't mean anything, so she
won't let us see she cares a speck. So
you see how it is, Lib. I just earl't do
agything, I wish to goodness eome-
t. g 'd turn up. I've thought and
thought all night what to do many a
time; but it ain't any use. She >might-
n't take me anyway. She's far too
good for me. And John hangs on like
a bull -do and he will, too, just as
long as I do. And he don't care one
speck about her in that way. I know
that for a fact."
Libbie sat in solemn, sympathetic
silence for some time.
. 'Why don't you tell John," she sug-
gmted at last: "He'd give you a chance.
) John's an awfully good—"
Tell him I Likely. Look as if I was
afraid of him, and had to coax him off.
No, its just got to go on and end the
best w•ay it can. Well, I must be off."
Libbie followed her brother to the
kitchen with a slow step,and thought-
ful air. Her bright curly head was full
of pEfy,lans to help this adored brother.
.Mv, mind, don't you peep one word
of this to John's mother, or a living
soul, Lib," he warned her as she help-
ed him on with his coat.
"Of course not, you silly. I won't
mention it. But you go along Jackie.
It'll come out all right, I'm sure."
She stood for a moment on the ver-
anda till John's buggie rattled down
the lane and through the gate and then
she flew to the kitchen and took down
a heavy shawl from a peg. "Mandy I"
site called to the elderly woman, who
was her help in household duties. "Man-
dy, I'm going to take a jar of that
be gone long. And Mandy," she added,
new jellie to Mrs. Robinson I won't
stopping with the door half open, "If
anyone comes, you know.. don't you tell
tbem where I am for the world."
The old woman nodded knowingly.
$tie was well accustomed to these warn-
ings. She turned again to her perusal
of the newspaper.
When Libbie had the jar of jellie and
her inevitable crocheting tucked under
her arm, she suddenly paused and ran
into the sitting room. Here she pro-
cured a white fleecy shawl from a
cl t which she exchanged for the
bea�ne, carefully arranging it over
her Is and noting the effect in the
. little mirror above the what -not.
She -flew across the -yard, scrambled
over the fence and was soon speeding
across the hard, stubby field which lay
between the two houses.
"It's most likely he'll be home," she
soliloquised. "My, I hope he is. If I
can only get him to go with me for
a little while, till John gets it all set -
tied, I'll be satisfied, and it's a pretty
queer thing if I can't."
Then a little flush came over her
face under the shadow of the white
shawl.
It's an awful thing to run after a
te11oK 1 But he'll never know, and it's
for John's sake anyway. Well, who-
ever would think I'd ever have to do
thisi" She was quite amused at this
new role and laughed softly to her-
self as she ran up the Preps and into
the house.
Libbie never knocked at Robinson's
door. Mrs. Robinson was as a moth-
er to the girl. She had always taken
the oversight of Libbie's work and
credited herself with the fact, that Lib.

all very good-naturedly and still pre-
