Literary Press.
It was so different from the usual
rummer boarding place that Denton
itoppod short and eyed doubtfully the
wide lawn, the massive stone house
and the garden flaming with Jmie
roses.
He even looked at the great mastiff
that sauntered toward him with a sus
picious eye.
“Look here, old fellow,” he said, “are
you in a fairy tale, or is this iust an
everyday fact?”
“Duke, come here,” called a clear
voice, and the dog bounded back to
the porch.
Denton followed him.
“Are you the princess?” he asked of
the owner of the clear voice.
The girl flushed and stared.
“I don’t understand”— she stam
mered.
Denton laughed. “I beg pardon,”
he apologized, “for boring you with
my fancies. But this place is so beau
tiful that I thought I had stepped out
of real life into fairyland and that the
flog was the monster that guarded the
gate and that you were the enchanted
princess.”
The girl’s eyes twinkled. “I'm not
a princess.” she told him. “I’m your
landlady.”
Bomothiug of n disappointment crept
Into Denton’s expression.
• Then you are Mrs. Carter?” he haz
arded.
“Miss Carter,” she corrected, and
he looked relieved. “In the letter that
i wrote you I signed myself Mehita
bel Carter, and I suppose you thought
1 had gray hairs and wrinkles.”
“The name did suggest them,” he
mused, watelling her sparkling face.
“Every one around here, calls me
Belle.” she explained. “But of course
when one writes letters to prospective
hoarders one realizes that a dignified
name is an asset.”
"Certainly.” he agreed and settled
back in his chair, content to listen and
look.
But his hostess was more energetic.
“I’ll show you your yoom.” she said
aud led the way through the spacious
llall and up the stairs to the second
Story.
When Denton came down a little
later and found his landlady walking
hi the rose garden he said to her:
•‘-You needn’t tell me. This is an en
chanted castle. Who ever heard of
White bathtubs and nickel trimmings
and pond lily friezes and Circassian
walnut furniture for $lO a week?”
A little anxious frown burrowed Miss
Carter's forehead. “I was afraid 1
was charging too much,” she said.
“You see’ you are my tirst hoarder.”
It appeared on further conversation
that there were to be six other board
ers, and they were to arrive at 7:30.
“Five of them are maiden ladies,”
Miss Carter explained, “and I told
them they might bring tfteir cats and
parrots”—
“And the other one?” Denton de
manded.
“Is a iaan,” said Miss Carter, “and
he wants to bring his automobile.”
Denton gazed pensively across the
garden toward the purple hills. “Alas,”
he sighed, “and I brought only a type
writer The automobile is the dragon
that 1 must slay.”
She stiffened a little at that.
“1 don’t think 1 quite understand.’

"Of < nurse not.” Denton agreed cube
cheerfully, “as a writeV of stories 1
den! much i:i metaphor. H isn’t to be
expected that you would understand
But you will—some day.”
Ho switched to other topics and
learned that the beautiful house, wil’d
its beautiful furniture, had been the
girl’s summer home. That the failure
of her father in business and his ab
sente to till a position in another city
made her decide that the house mud
support itself or be 501d.." 3o £ho had
advertised for boarders, and, with two
old and trusted servants, she was go
ing to make it pay.
“Wo raise all of our vegetables,” she
confided, “and we have our cows and
make butter, and there are plenty of
chickens and eggs”—
"Don’t say any more,” Denton
begged. “I am hungry enough as it i.T
without hearing of real milk and but
ter and orr o'<^. * *
She laughed. “The train is due
now.” she said; “as soon as the other
boarders get here we will have sup
per.”
Contrary to Denton’s expectations,
the six old maids proved to be delight
ful company. Three of them were
teachers, one of them wrote for the
magazines, one, having a private for
tune, was something of a globe trot
ter. and the sixth, being domestically
inclined, had brought the cat and par
rot.
The one man was the object of Den
ton’s special observation. Ilis name
v: as Xesse 1 rode.
“He makes me think of a pudding,”
Denton remarked to Miss Carter.
“I don’t think lie looks that way at
all.” Miss Carter said indignantly. *T
think lie is very handsome, if he is
stout.”
“Oh, I don’t mean Ids looks,” Den
ton remarked resignedly, “but his
name.” *
Nesselrode, however proved to be
Very good company, and it became
quite a matter W’ course that the two
hum should spin through the country
♦very ‘morning in the big motor ear.
!n the afternoon Nesselrode alwhys
took Miss Carter, and in the back seat
he packed two and so:ne'Emes throe of 1
the old ladies.
“And I stay at home with the cat
and parrot,” Ben ton remarked indig
nantly to Miss Carter one evening,
when he had carried her off to the
rose garden, “for the old ladies who
don’t go with you always take their
naps at that “time, and if it wasn’t for
the cat and parrot I should die of lone 1
Ilness.”
“I t’3 too bad," Miss Carter umr
mlireJ sym pa the t ica 11 y.
‘Too bad!*’ Denton bared. “It's pre
posterous. lie takes me in the morn*-
j .g and you in the afternoon, and 1
he ve been here three weeks, and I
haven’t had an hour’s comfortable
conversation with you since that first
day.”
•'When you thought ! was u prin
cess," said Miss Carter demurely.
•‘I still think you are a princess.”
said Denton ardently. lie leaned to
ward her, and the moonlight showed
his pale, eager face. T still think you
an- a princess, and, now that I have
found you in your enchanted castle, 1
yearn to carry you away with me to

There was a rustle in the leaves be
hind them. Miss Carter sat up straight.
“Who is it?” she cried sharply. "Who
Is there?"
“Polly, Polly," said a chuckling, wa
vering voice, "pretty, pretty Polly."
Then a deeper voice boomed beyond
the bUslies.
“Is that you. Miss Carter? I am
looking for Miss Pierce’s parrot."
"I can't even propose to you without
his butting in.” Denton complained the
next night when he had Miss Carter to
himself for a moment in a corner of
the dark porch. "Say ‘yes’ before he
