D.Cole ManufacturingCo 49-54 E. Broad St., NFWNAN, GA.. ’Phone 14. By NELLE B. RANSOM. [Copyright, 1. !', by Associated I.lterary Press.] Dorothy Allen sat on the broad, white pillared porch watching the road that wound between the trees to the village. She had watched the road a great deal during the last few days, at first with happy anticipation, but now with helpless longing. It was bad enough in (he daytime, but it was worse when it grew too dark to see who was coming along the road, for then the footsteps grew louder and louder until she was cer tain that they were going to turn to ward the white pillared porch, only to die away again, leaving her sick with fresh disappointment. On tlie previous Sunday evening the vague, beautiful something which had enveloped the whole summer, making it different from any other summer of Dorothy’s life, had suddenly taken definite form. A look, a touch, a word or two, and she had found herself without a doubt that John Porter lov ed her and that she loved him. lint he had gone away without any open dec laration, and. though Dorothy had watched the road till her eyes ached, lie had not returned. “I might have known it," she said to herself disconsolately. “He is too proud and independent to ' ask the daughter of a rich man to marry him. Now that his work on the new electric road is finished he will go away, and I shall never see him again.” Dorothy’s neighbor, twelve-year-old Gladys, came skipping across the lawn, a very perky pink bow topping her yellow tresses. She perched herself on the broad arm of Dorothy’s chair. "I’ve bean reading such a lovely story!” she exclaimed. "What was it about':" queried Doro thy, with lailguid interest. “Oil, it was about a brave knight in shilling armor." said Gladys, "and ho loved a fair and noble lady who loved him iu return. But she had gold and jewels and ail that sort < f thing, you know, and lie hadn't a thing but his charger and 11is good sword, and so lie could never, never ask her to marry him,” "Well,” asked Dorothy as Gladys paused for breath, “wluit happened then?” “Oh,” replied Gladys, “there was nothing fur the knight to do but to ride away to the wars, and I lie prin cess just sat in her lower and pined md pined till at lasl she died. Oh, ll was perfectly lovely—so sad and sweet!” "It seems to me,” said Dorothy, al most crossly, “that it would have been much more sensible for the knight to stay and marry the lady instead of leaving her to pine and die.” "Why,” cried Gladys In disgust, “that would have spoiled the whole story.” She jumped from her perch and was dancing down tile steps, but turned to call back: “Oil, say, that Mr. Dorter lias gone away, hasn't he? I saw him at the station Monday with a suit case in his hand. Aren't his eyes just too hand some for anything? I’m sorry he lias left, aren't you?" Then, having unwittingly destroyed Dorothy’s last vestige of hope, Gladys cheerfully departed. A gray hatred mail with a keen but kindly face came and stood iu the door way behind Dorothy, noting with an anxious look her drooping figure. He moved uneasily once or twice and then came out to where she was sitting. “You ought to be playing golf this fine weather." he suggested. ‘‘Bin rather tired of golf, father,” re [died Dorothy. Mr. Allen took a turn up and down the porch. “Has that young Porter left? i haven't seen him for several days.” ho asked, with a carefully careless air. “I really don't know. Probably h< has.” replied the girl, silting very straight and assuming an air even more carefully careless than that of her father. Mr. Allen after a few more turns and anxious, sidelong glances betook himself again to the house. Since the death of Dorothy's mother ten years before the bond of sympathy and un derstanding between him and his only child had grown unusually strong, but bere was a situation which he i'olt In nowise competent to handle. • Left to herself. Dorothy's sprightly indifference suddenly vanished. Her hands fell listlessly into her lap. and she leaned her head wearily against the back < f her chair. So he had gone without even coming to say good by! Well, there was no use watching the road any longer. "It's just like Gladys’ story." she sighed. "The knight lias gone to tight his battles, leaving the poor princess In the castle to pine alone, only, being a twentieth century princess instead of i a mediaeval one, I'm afraid I can't die of love. Girls never do nowadays. I suppose that's one of the modern Im provements," she continued whimsi cally. An endless procession of dreary years seemed to stretch out before her. She shut her eyes, and two large tears glistened on the long dark lashes. Some one was coining across the lawn, but the footsteps made no sound on the thick turf. When they began to ascend the steps Dorothy opened her eyes with a start, and John Porter stood before lier. There was a wonderfully tender light In Ills eyes and a determined expres slon about his mouth. Ilow handsome ho looked! Ilnw tall and strong ho was! Dorothy caught her breath. “I thought you had gone away," she managed to say. “Only down to the junction to meet tile chief engineer, lie wanted to talk over iny next job with me. It's a lit tle bigger than anything I've ever un dertaken before. But you didn’t think I’d go without, seeing you again, did you, Dorothy, after Sunday night?” “I didn't know," murmured Dorothy, her eyes on the big buckles of her colonial slippers. John Porter seated himself ou the porch rail and looked straight at Dor othy's face. "Dorothy," lie said, “1 know it's t lie general opinion that a man has no right to ask a girl with a rich father to marry hint until he can provide for her the things she has been accus tomed to having, but it seems to me that if a girl really cared for a man she could be happy with him even if site had to do without some of the things she'd been used to.” “I wonder,” thought Dorothy, "if It can be possible that the hero has mod ern Improvements too.” But she kept her eyes on the big sil ver buckles, and John Porter contin ued speaking with deliberate convic tion. "And that is why 1 dare to tell you that you can afford to give up some of the things that money can buy and come and share with me the things that can’t be bought. Will you come, Dorothy?” “Yes.” said Dorothy, meeting his look squarely at last, "I will come.” Half an hour later they remembered Dorothy's father. "He will never allow you to marry me.” cried John Porter, "a common builder of roads!” “A rising young engineer." corrected Dorothy. “Come on. I’ll manage papa.” “Papa,” she announced, pushing aside the portiere with one hand and drawing her lover after her with the other, “Pin going to marry Mr. Por ter.” Mr. Allen roused himself from the depth of a leather chair where ho had been taking an afternoon nap. started a little at the sight of (lie young man and looked quizzically at his daughter. “Your prospects for doing so certain ly look a little brighter than they have for the past few days,” he remarked. “Wher'e have you been keeping your self, Mr. Porter? Dorothy and I had about concluded that you were too busy 'doing things’ to give us any at tention. But. if Dorothy lias made up her mind to marry you, you may as well submit first as last. Do you think yon can support her?” “Not in the style to which she lias been accustomed," said John Porter. "But she is willing to dispense with luxuries.” “When I married Dorothy's mother,” said Mr. Allen, “she laid a little mon ey, which I invested, and after her death I put the investment in Doro thy's name without saying anything to her about it. It's really surprising how that little sum has grown. Thu income from it: is now quite consider able.” He named a sum more than twice John Purler's salary. "I should think tHis, added to your present in come, might, provide for love in a cot tage"— "With all the modern improve- meuls!" said Dorothy softly, with shin ing' eyes. The Bride':, Introduction.
