X, I captured  tho  French  art eye oiioiish
i   to   get   me   my   salon   mention.     If   I
X I could iipt up to spTash water colors at
that  hour   I   surely  could  rush  to  tho
protection of my own roses, so I went
to  bed  with  Kray dawn on  mf mind
find tho shiittor.s wide open, so the lirst
light would j-'ot full In my eyes.
I am glad that it was a good briL'ht ray that woko me and partly dazzled me, for tho siglit I had after 1 had been kneeling down in the rose l)ed for flftoen   minutes   was   something   of   a
shock to juo. IhoHirh no reason in tlio worm   wny   it   snouia   nave   Deeii.     i
can't remember that I ever speculated as to whether tlie frag wore pajamas or not. and I don't .see that I slionld havo been surprised that he did in¬ stead of the nightshirt of our common ancestrj-. He   came  around   the  side  of   the
house out of the sun shot mist and was halfway down the garden path before I saw him or he saw me, and I must ¦ay that his unconi'orn under the cir¬ cumstances WHS ratlior remarkable.
He was attired in a light blue silk pajama jacket thut was open at tho throat anil half way down his broad breast. He had on his usual gray trousers, but tags of blue trailed out and ruffled around his bare unklea ami across his bare heels that protruded from his slijipers. His hair was In heavy tousled black curls all over his head, and his gray eyes were posltive- Ij' mysterious with interrupted dreams. In diie hand ho carried a tin can and In   the   other   a   small   pointed   stick,
half awake from a dream or you wnen I <'aino into tlie garden."
"My (MoniiiL's don't belong to any¬ body If you need them, .Tamie, und you don't have to be told that," I an- sworod crossly whon I thought what a graii'l time I n,iirlit have lieeii having tnlkiii^' about real things with the Crag insioad of wrostling with I'olk's ronianlli s or Sallio's and Mr. Ilaloy'.i gush,
"Go on and tell me all about il wbilc 1 crawl after you like a worm iiiysoll'," I snaiipeil still furtlior.
"Well, here goes! In tho city coun¬ cil nicoliiig last night your Unch; I'e tor Iold ns alituit the plans that thoy havo made up at r.olivar for onter- tninhii;- the ('. ami (i. commission, and tho gloom of I'olk and I.oo, Xed and tho rosi of tliein could havo (>as!ly been cut in blocks and used for cold storage [lurposos. They aro just all down and out about It and no li;Tht left. Of course they all lose by tlic ^ bond issue, but I can't see that it is bad enough to knock tlioni all out like this. I got u|) in niiurlity wrath and— and I have got myself into one job. My oloi|uonce landed mo right ii:^ ono large hole, nud I am reaching out for a hand from you,"

"Do you want mc single handed to get tlie lilutf line chosen'.'"
".Not ipiile, but almost," he answer¬ ed with another laugh, "You would If you Iricil, 1 haven't a doubt. Do you remember the talk we had the otlior night about its seeming Inhospitabli' of you not to invito the other gontlomen In the commissien over to see you when you invite Hall and his father? And yon know how you had partly planned some sort of entertainnioiit for the whole bunch. You had the right Iden nt tho right place, as you always
do. As you said, wo don't want Bollv;ir to see us with what looks like a groiuh on us at their good fortune, and 1 think that as the comrnLssion are all to be hero as tho guests of a private citi- Ben, Glendale ought to entertain them publicly. There is no hope to get the line for us, but 1 would like those men at least to see what the beauty of that bluff road woiil<l bo. The line across the river runs through the only ugly part of the valley, and while I know- In tho balance between dollars aud acenery, scenery will go down and out. ¦tin It would be good for them to sci- It and at least get u vision of wiiuv might have bovn to haunt them wiicii they take their tirst trip through the ¦wanips across tho country there.

"Henrietta," 1 said sternly as I rose j to my feet, "I've asked you once nol j to say tigly words like that." j "I'll go make the litiitning toilet. I Ilonrieila.

Even Henrietta s ! pointed allusion to his toilet had not In the least rutHed his equanimity or hrouiiht a shade of consciousness to his face.
"Mis' Hargrove said that the I'.ible said not for any woman to say a bless¬ ing at any table or at any place tli.i; anybody can hear her when Cousin Marfy wanted to be polite to the I»ril by saying just a little one and go on before we wa.s all too hungry," an¬ swered Ilorrletta in her most scornfnl- Ij- tolerant voice.

j he should catch sight of me, but there
I was none,
I     "Eve!"   ho  exclaimed  with  sun^riso,
i and a ray of pure delight drove away j
j the dreams in his eyes.   Nobody in the ^ Wide world calls me Eve but just the |

Aud (juoer as it is I have to positively control tlie desire to answer him wUh the correlalod title—Adam:
"I forgot to toll you yesterday that 1 was coming over to get the slugs fcu' you, dear," ho said as he cume down the row of roses next to mine, squatted opposite to whore I was kneeling by the bushy, sutTeriug Nerou aud began to examine the under side of each leaf carefully, lie was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen iu the early light with ills great chest bare und the blue of the pajamas molting into thc bronze of his lliroat aud calling out the gray in his eyes. I had to force myself Into being gardener rather than artist, as wo laughed together over the glass bowl and silver spoon 1 had brought out for the uiuloiiig of the slugs. .Somi' day I'm goinu' to paint him like that! I round out about the pajamas from questioning .Vunt Martha discreetly. They seemed so Incongruous In rela¬ tion to tho usual old Ilenry Clay coat aud stock collar that I had to know tho reason why. Mrs. Hargrove's son was a very worldly man, she says, and Wore them, it comforts her to make thom for the Crag to wear in monio- riam. lie wears the collars Cousin Martha makes him with her own tin gers after tho pattern she made his father's by, for the same reason, and lets Cousin .bismlne cut his ha' '•.¦ cause she always cut her father^, * ¦ .0- nel llorton's, until liLs deaili.

"This rally is to show off (Jlend.ih'. not tho Crag," he interruiHod me, wii a quizzical laugh.

Although this was practically a con¬ tinuous service from 8 to 12 P, M.. yet because of the variety il was not tiresome to those who kept their seats through the entire evening. .\t the 8 o'clock service the Pastor spoke on the question: "What use are you making of your Life?"
