Nance and the tall young man came strolling down the hill puth, to rest on a low garden wall. Nance sprang nim bly to her favorite seat, while the young man took a place beside her. "It’s a great view,” he said, and as he tapped his boot, a ring slipped from Its pluce on his finger, to roll glinting down the road. The young man Jumped after his treasure and re turned, breathing a sigh of relief. "I must be careful," he told the girl, “and see that does not happen again; my finger’s growing thinner; your fault, probably.” He cast a side glance at her. Nance leaned forward to examine the ring. Hruce Manners bent his un covered head until his dark hair brushed hers. “Yes,” he explained, “unusual and significant. The sapphire Is set like an eye in a band of enamel-edged gold. Inside Is the motto, ‘I see.’ The ring was given to me by a wealthy cap italist, who happened to be a lifelong friend of my father. This man never made a deal, or serious venture, with out first consulting the eye for Its vision of success. The ring had been given to him by an East Indian mer chant, who earnestly believed in Its clairvoyant power.” “But,” asked Nance, smiling, "how does the mystic eye make known Its reading?” Bruce gazed quizzically out across the meadows. “In a strangely, unexpected man ner,” he replied, “and its directing Is unmistakable.” “You,” Nance asked amusedly, “have sought Its advice?” The young man nodded. "Many times." She slipped down from the wall. “I am going home,” she declared laughingly: “you make me feel eerie.’ He led her, his strong browned hand beneath her arm, his admiring eyes on her rose-flushed cheeks. Inside the home living room Nance’s family greeted her. Aunt Phronsie's face wore a frown, and pale-faced Lillie Ray, after one quick glance at Nance's glowing cheeks, left the room. Even mother’s smile was strained, fleeting. “My dear,” began Aunt Phronsle, "haven’t you admirers enough of your own, that you must make a conquest of Lillie's hero, nlso?” Lillie Itay,” mother gently remind ed, “is very frail, Nance; disappoint ment might go hard with her.” The brown dress she wore was not ns becoming as usual, Bruce Manners thought, when Nnnee met him later at the door. "You said once,” Nance hurriedly began, “that you would like to prove your friendship for me, by some fa vor. I’m asking the favor now, Bruce. Will you let me take your ring to night? I want it to advise me.” "Certainly.” the young man agreed; “but the ring sees for its owner alone, Nance-Rose. To him only it gives a sign.” "Still I’d like to take It,” she per sisted. She looked back at him, an enigmatic smile curving her lips—"l suppose,” she mocked, “this uncanny ring will one day direct you to the woman you are to marry?” Bruce Manners spoke seriously. “I am sure,” he said, "that the sapphire’s eye, then, will not be more blue than her own.” Lillie Itay was In the living room plnylng the piano, the last log dying in the fireplace. “These spring evenings,” she com plained, “are so chill. I can’t walk outside. You and Bruce will walk, I suppose." Nance hastily ended the frail girl's fears. "No,” she replied, “I’m going up stairs to write. Bruce will come in here. Lillie, I want you to do some thing for me. Put this ring of his on your finger for safe keeping, and when Bruce comes in give it to him. Here, you might sing a song. ‘I Love You, Dear,’ that’s pretty. Then give him the ring.” “My! it is beautiful!” she ex claimed. Nance sank down on the floor of her own room to rest her face against Don’s loving hend. "Just about now,” she murmured. •’l.illie is looking up from her song into Bruce’s face—she is giving him the ring—the clairvoyant ring. And Bruce will know it's a sign, Don. How conld it be other than a sign of the woman he is to marry?” When Nance could bear it no longer, she crept down the stairs. Lillie was not in the living room. Bruce was there poking about the dead fire with a stick. Surprised into action, Nance crossed to his side. His radiant smile greeted her; breathlessly she waited. “Well, Nance-Rose," he said severe ly. “you trusted a poor messenger; the listless Lillie, tossing my ring to me. tossed it into the tire by mistake. And when I said ‘damn.’ she indig nantly, disgustedly departed. Weakly, remorsefully, Nance dropped into a chair. Then a sudden blue gleam shot into the air to drop flatly into her outstretched palm. “I dislodged it that time," Bruce Manners cried excitedly; turning, he met the wondering rare of Nance- Rose. On her outstretched palm the sap phire eye twinkled up at him. Oeliber ately, triumphantly, Bruce Manners came to clasp Nance in his arms. "You can t beat that old ring, my dear," he said. BILL’S SECRET By DOROTHY LUCE ©, 2922, by McClure Newspaper Syndicate. When Bill and Marjorie became en gaged, they agreed, with true lovers’ confidence, that they would have no secrets from each other. This was easy so far as Marjorie was concerned, but poor, bashful Bill, thinking of bis desk and the incriminating evidence it concealed, felt quite uncomfortable. However, he was too blissfully happy to atop at any promise on such an occasion as this. He had captured the one girl—that was all that mattered. Bill’s mother, justifiably pleased with her son’s choice, invited Marjorie to spend a week in towm with them. This suited his sister Dora. It meant a chance to inspect Marjorie’s pretty dresses at close range and perhaps' copy some of the ideas; besides, there would be matinees, parties and the companionship of a girl of her own age. Her mother would be especially lenient, she knew. “How does it feel to be engaged?” she asked Marjorie when they were alone, talking rather too intimately of their personal affairs, as young girls have a way of doing. And Marjorie, responding to Dora's eager questions, confided, among other things. “And we’re to have no secrets from each other.” "Oh, then,” exclaimed Dora Joyfully, “you know what’s in Bill’s desk, and he w on’t let any of us open it.” "No,” said Marjorie slowly, just a germ of doubt beginning to trouble her. “but,” she continued, brightening, “I’ll ask him tonight. I know he’ll tell me.” But Bill would not tell her. "Darn that kid,” he muttered. “She’s for ever prying Into someone’s affairs.” Marjorie coaxed at first, hut Bill was obdurate, with a stubbornness that silenced her. But It hurt, neverthe less, and the hurt finally grew out of nil proportion to the cause. In fact, Marjorie herself never realized how near she came to breaking the engage ment during the days that followed. Alone together, they both maintained a sullen aloofness. Bill was In des pair. He had left her for the night nnd was about to open the desk that had caused so much trouble In his young life, when he suddenly thought, “And she’ll be going home after tomorrow.” He gave the desk a vicious kick and, flinging the key across the room, he dropped his head into his arms and did what very little hoys do sometimes when their punishment seems too hard to hear. Tears, like laughter, must end some time, however, but it was a dejected young man who left Bill’s room the next morning. Perhaps that was why he forgot all about the key. Dora found it when she went to make up his bed, and joy fully called to Marjorie. “Shall I open it?” she giggled. “It is immaterial to me,” Marjorie answered with a coolness that Dorn look up sharply and gave her an inkling of the true state of affairs. It was this, perhaps, that decided her, for with a quick turn she un locked the desk and rolled back the cover. The first thing that caught her eye was some pamphlets piled neatly at the left. She picked one up, looked it over with a puzzled frown, then fairly screamed with laughter. "Oh, dear, oh, dear!” she rocked back and forth, unable to control her mirth, "just listen, Marjorie. Let me read you these titles —‘How to Win Her,’ by John Denton Gray, professor of psychology at Michigan university. ’When und How to Propose,’ ‘How to Hold Your Wife’s Affection,’ ‘The Suc cessful Marriage.’ ’’ “Oh, dear, oh, dear! This is too fufiny! Won’t I tease him 1 Just wait.” Marjorie was conscious of a great relief and also of a surge of tender ness. almost mother-like in its under standing. “You must never tell anyone of this," she warned Dora firmly, as the girl locked the desk and placed the key where she had found it. And Dora never did. Bill wondered at the sudden change in Marjorie, but took his good luck without questioning. He wondered still more at the mischievous twinkle in her eye when, a little later, he said Impulsively, “Just the same, Marjie, I think if one has an understanding of psychology, he can get anything he wants.” Red Heads, Read. A red-heuded person has about 90,- 000 hairs growing out of the scalp. Speaker says this at convention of New England hairdressers. The figure seems unbelievably large. Yet it is low. Brunettes average 110,- 000 hairs, blondes, 140,000. Scientists, claiming prehistoric man was as hairy as a monkey, say that thinness of hair or baldness is a sign of superior mentality. Future men ail bald as eggs is the prediction. If the scientists are right, the red heads must be a super-race. Th* Desired Information.
