"You don't wish that," said Gerda
softly. "Not when it would very
likely have :killed dome cthild,
as it did the sheep, If you hadn't
I shot it."
"I s'pose not," Dick agreed mood-

so tramenelously-dt looked as if we
could gat anaeried and have the best
years of our life together. And now
nobody knows how long we'll have to

Tarlingest of all, you know 111
wait," breathed Gerda so tenderly
that Dick telt anew his love for her.
"13ut how I wish we didn't have to
watt," she added honestly.
"If only Lawrence had come to
because my sweetheart could most
alsely twit the old buffer sound her
finger."
"You're too proud," wailed Gerda.
'I shan't take any notice -I will go,'
"You will not," snapped Diok
fiercely. "Once •and for all, I will not

to the old buffer, 111 shove the Plans
in the kitchen stove,"
"Phat would be a pity before the
old .buffer hoe had a chance to see
them."
The folding d:0 OM had been ajar,
and Mr. Lawrence pushed them open
.1 quizzical look in his shrewd old
eyes. "I have 0.ot been listening
deliberately," he went on, coming
into the room. "Hut your voices
were not eilke whispers, and I've
got a pnity clear idea of the
situation."
"I beg your pardon, sir," blurted
out Dick, for once in his life put out
of countenance,
"Par calling me an old buffer?
I've been called worse things than
that in my time, young fellow, and
still survive."
"Mr. La,wrenice.' 'burst out Gerda,
then stopped with the air of one not
daring to go on.
The tall old. man ,stut deliberately
sat downon a coach and eyed them
"I came to England before I'd intend-
ed," he said. "I wanted to see if
this Committee was making araess
of the job."
"They are!" burst out the irre-
pressible Gerda. "Dicks desgins
are the best. 111 say that if he
kills me for it! and she threw de-
fiant eyes at Dick's furious face,
"Gerd‘a, don't you dere!" he mut-
tered.
"If your Dick's, plans are the
best, they will be chosen," said Mr,.
Lawrence judicially.
"I will not owe any success of
mine to a girl -not even- to Garda!"
cried Dick.
"And if your Dick's are not the
best plans, the others will be .chos-
en," wound up Mr. Lawrence cam_
posedri.
"Then that's all right." And Dick
simmered down.
"A fair deal and no favour. 111
promise you that and nothing more,"
said the old man.
"Three cheers!" oried Gerda,
"Then we've as good as got the job,
because Dick's designs are a thous-
and:Antes the best."
"You mustn't take Gerda tooser-
iously, sir," said Dick. "She's preju-
diced in my favour."
"Quite right," nodded Mr. Law-
rence. "But you need not tear
