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.’ she Laid.

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.

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.
