"O-ho!" mimicked Uncle Hilly. "1 tbouKbt y'd be askln' tbat. Well, I don't know wbut you'd call her, seeln' '¦ you've Heen all kinds o' purty womlu 1q your graddin's. Sbe ain't mor^ 'n twenty-two. Her name's Wynne. An' tbere y' be. Nqbnddy knows nutbln' more—where sEie comes from, who 'er folks be, 'n' oil tbat. She's stayin' out at tb' farm. She ain't une o' tbem sas- siety folks, 'cause she ain't got no lugH. Jes' '8 easy t' git along witb 's you are. Why, say! I fished a man In June who let his sinker rest on bot¬ tom all tb' time, an' cussed me 'cause we didn't git no bass fer shore dinner. Honest!"
"Is she pretty?"
"0-ho!" LTncle Billy cocked his bat¬ tered haymaker's straw but over his eye "Wbat d' you call purty?" diplo¬ matically.
Cranford smiled up into the sun bit¬ ten, wind bitten face.   "Well?"
Tap-tap!
OrttDford stood up, while Uncle Billy reached hurriedly for tbe waste, wip¬ ing his bands on it thoroughly, with a finishing scrape olo«g the sides of his grease stained, palut stained jumpers. I The latch clicked, tbe rear door open¬ ed and a youdg woman entered.
Her raincoat sparkled and  flashed, tendrils of rain drenched  hair stran¬ gled down ber cheeks from under an sS! ordinary sou'wester,  ber heavy  tans ^ I oozed from lace to sole and a diminu¬ tive rainstorm pattered down from the ¦ hem of the coat.
"Tou, Miss Wynne, in all this rain?" 'gasped Uncle Billy. I    "Cteme in  for tbe  mall  and  some¬ thing to read! Oh, I beg your pan'.on:*' &     Crauford's pipe, with Its smoldorlnn coal, went Into a pocket; his h.it olT his bead.

Another ripple of laughter from the girl.
"linve you noted the variety oif cur¬ rents ont tlioro?" she usliod. "One day you ran flsh straight down tlio lodw; another, tbe line forms a curve back to the slionl, and iigain you oan't do any¬ thinK but ride up und down tlie bar."
"I'ldgiu i,s all right in July and Au¬ gust, but this time of yoar the wind blows from all polnis of llio compass in a day, uud It's a bad plaoe for n man to flsh. Billy ought not to tuko you out tbere e.\ooi)t when the water is flat."
The tone at bis voice conveyed dis¬ approval.
".V motorboat Is only us strong a.s its engine. I was biown out to Galon onoe In September. A norther came up all of a sudden. For awhile we tiiouKlit it was all up with us. They found us tho next afternoon, half dead with cold and bunger."
"I'm uot afraid," sho replied to this open wuruiug, which was only uu eciio of Unde Ullly's. Her chin stood out a little. "1 love it out at Pidgin. It is wild and free there. If a gale comos up one cannot run back to the hotel—notli¬ ing else to do but flght it out. I wus t>orn at sea."
She turned her face toward tbe rain again.
"Hey! Mr. Cranfori^ I smell sump- In' burnln'."
"Good heavens!" exclaimed Cranford, making a dash past the girl and out un to the slliipery runway.
He knelt quickly, sonkeil his pockot and extracted his pipe.
"What a terrible thing forgotfiiliioss Isl" observed the girl gravely, thou;,'U her eyes twinkled. •'And I have boon used to tobacco smoke for several years."
"It's mighty good of you uot to la\igh," said Cranford, with a ^rueful look on his face. "That's my favorite pipe, and it wlli take three or four days to sweeten It agaiu."
"Live 'n' I'arn," Uncle Billy suid, sweeping up his spark plugs and dump¬ ing tbem Into a box.
He tben reached uuder the benoli into a pall and brought forth a hand¬ ful of scarlet harvest apples.
And immediately there were sounds (pianissimo, moderato and sforzando) wblcb are permitted only among tnily democratic individuals.
It was tbe flnal stroke. It accom¬ plished more than ali the polished phrases of social diplomacy could hnve done. Till the end of time these three would be more than casual acqunlnt- ances.
At length Miss Wynne announced that she mast be going.
They M-oro waiting for her nt the vil¬ lage postoflico. Cranford hold the doo:' for her. Phe smilod nnd nodded. Alonu oiitsido.'tlio rain druinniiiii? on the sou'wester, sho oyed the souddiiiK "eadou fous Dverlioad.
"Cranfoil!; 1 must be very careful. Why Is ho iK'fo ut tliis timo? .\iul I am so aloiio—so alone!"
Sho stoppi'd  forward  resolutely,  as ouo bni'ii to tho open; tlio heavy, daiilc grasses swlslied and slapped about liei' ' shoos. »
When she roaoliod the wooden side walk sho paused foramomout tostaiuji hor foot, then hurried on Into the vil- \ai:e.
"Woll?" said t'ncle Billy triumph- nntly.
"Billy," Cranford drawled, burles¬ quing a fneiu! bewilderment to hldo his roal confusion. "Billy, they aiti't no seeh tiling!"
Craiiferd sol I lod his hat firmly and turnod doVli ihe brim,
"If Kile does thnt, lillly, you're rl«lu. She is a raiy avisos, us you call tlicni. How's tbo old Xa varre runnijag theso days?"
"Same's usual."
"I soo. Ycui will not lot off tiiikoHiiK with hor."
Cranford ]>atfc?d (lie Kuiiwale. The name ahvnys .stirroci his sense of hu¬ mor.    It liad been I'.illy's .seloetion.
".VuviiiTo." somo one hud suid. "That's a good nume."
"You l)ol!"
"Xame of n king."
"An' aiiy.iiueen might be proud o nnniin' hor scjii after a Imss that could run like that 'n'."
After the •unnioroiful banter wlili'h hnd annually followed this opiso.lo some guides would havo hastened to change the nume.
Billy clung to It stubljornly. Ilo clung to his opinions stubbornly, his weather profrnosticatlons, his lore con¬ cerning bass.
He erred sometlhies because ho was huiran, but the snying went tlint when he couldn't drop his mudhook o\or a school of buss It wns time to pack up tbe rods.
"Well, send Lester over to the hotol after dinner tonight. He'll liud me in the bilUard rot)m. I've got some lot¬ ters to write before lurch. .\n(l muybo I'll flnd some mull."
"All right.   I'll soo t' I.#ster."
"And tomorrow I'll go out to Pidghi nnd hook '<>m riglit from under your old mud scow."
"Uh-huh! I've heurd 'em say that before. I'm tellJu' you she cnn fish. An' I don't know 's I want t' flsh \ou now anyhow."
Cranford fllled his pockets with ai)- i pies.
"I'll tell you what I'll do.    I'll bet a I box of uny cigars In the village that 1 beat you out tomorrow."
"Klfty cigars ugulnst fifty apples 'n' I'll go you."
"Done."
"Ten cent strnlghts?"
"Two for a quarter If you Hke. By- by! It was good to see you again, Bil¬ ly. By the wny, has uny one caught a four aud a half pounder over lu the gut at Horseshoe?"
"Xot that I've heard tell of. On, y' needn't w«rry. Tliat ol' soggor's uosiu' around there yet. That's whut comos o' tryln' thom newfangled hooks. He'll go flve uow 'f some blarao pain- prey eel ain't et tilm up sldew Iso. I'm savin' him for Miss Wynne."
"Piffle!"
"Thafs right; spring ono o' them foreign words on me so 's I can't tu!k back. "
Cranl'oid stopped outside into tho rain. Tho sky promised no letup. Thero wasn't a break anywhere, but the.se sudden squalls of wind nnd stliiu'- Ing shoots of rain lie read sallorwise. Before
