Ann counted the lines in the __ sidewalk they crossed. After a -.- flme she said, ‘I'll miss you, Ice. You've been awfully nice to me. ‘And then, moved by a generous hlpulse that was as much a sur- prise to her as to Lee, she told him, “I hope you'll tell your mother how sorry I a.m about what happen- d at the hospital. From her point a! view, she was right, and I shouldn't have resented what she said.’

"Funny." Lee smi'ed, “but Moth- er says she was wrong. I was to deliver a message to you. but I've never had an opportunity. When I was leaving, she said if I didn't bring you home with me. she'd turn me out of the house. I'll have to toll llcr I'll do it ncxt trip."

She bit her lip until it hurt, but yhen he put the box in her hand, . dhe left it there. "WelJ—" Lee said. Ann continucd to stare at her

A barely perceptible nod was her Inswer to this.

life, definitely and permanently, cut across her consclousn and left the thought of him hanging like a severed thread.

But no amount of thinkinB. 0! self-analysis could quite explain her action to her own satisfaction. Many things accounted for her quiet surrender. She had been un- fair. There was no doubt of that. Her behavior at the hospital after that little talk with his mother had been constantly on her con- science. Then, too, she had been in- fluenced by the attitude of Mollie and Bill. Perhaps they both had looked upon her engagement to Lee as an achievement on her part, but whereas Mollie had re- joiced wholly out of her fondness for Ann, Bill's approvalJlad-been force and involved by a sense of loyalty to Let.

But whatever the reason for it, Aim knew that when she let Lee put the little ring box in her hand and offered no protest, she had given her promise, finally and ir- revocably. and that when he came for her, she would go with him.

Before Ann realized that Mollie

ing at her, a radiant, noisy, dem- onstrative Mollie, who waved a last edition of The Globe and demand- ed, "Is it real, Ann? Has it come to pass after all these long miser- able weeks . . .?"

Ann looked at the large picture on the front page of The Globe and nodded, soberly. “I'm afraid it is,’ she said. “And has . . . Is it necessary for newspapers to do things like that, Mollie?" '

"But, darling-Al's a perfect pic- ture of Lee. And—" laughing-“of your back. Oh. Ann, I was so afraid you wouldn't be sensible."

Ann was not listening. Reading the lines beneath the picture, her eyes had suddenly fixed upon a curiously familiar name:

“Springs coming. Doubt it? Here's proof. The male harbinger, cs you must have guessed, is the one and only Lee Monday who took of! from the airport here late this afternoon on what he hinted might be a. record-breaking flight to Ins Angeles. The charming young woman standing on tiptoes to deliver the accolade to the country's most popular young man is Miss Ann Rogers of Eimville, Connecticut, who was with the flier when he was forced down in the Berkshires several months ago. Yes, springs coming and no mistake."

When Ann's eyes lifted, Mollie was going into the kitchen. Mol- lie had done that, Ann told herself. She even suspected that Mollie had put the photographers on Lee's trail. It would be like Mollie, Ann thought, for her to inspire just this sort of thing, Bhe could not have hoped for so intimate a pose, oer- toinly. but a picture simply show- ing Ann and Lee together would have served Mollie’; plan.

In this conjecture, Ann was right. Mollie had said to Bill, "I think if we could start some gossip, Ann would do something about it. Ann wouldn't let Lee down if it got around that they were engaged and Lee didn't deny it. I think I'll talk to one o1 our photographers."

Perfects Model Railway Engine

(By The Canadian Press)

Oct. 28—.A model railway engine, perfect in every detail, actually burning coal and propelled by steam. capable of pulling from two to two-and-one- half tons, is the property of George Stevenson, resident of Montreal. It Ls valued at $3.000.

Mr. Stevenson built this miniat- ure locomotlve entirely by hand in his spare time, using his cellar as a. workshop. The toy engine, which tool; two-ancl-me-half years to complete, was designed after the "Prince" type of English locomotives to which class the famous "Flying Scot" belongs. »

Engine and tender together am five feet, nine inches in length and weighs 150 pounds. The locomotive is 12 inches in height and carries nine points of water for use as steam. The steam is raised in E181"- minutes and nmssure is set at I20

Puppy Love Seldom Requires Serious Consid- eration on the Part of Parents. Only a Case of Propinquity

A writer in a recent magazine article contends that we should take calf love more seriously than we do because our first love colors all of our emotional experiences, and sets the pattern of all of our succeeding loves. He holds that we even choose our mates because they have some resemblance to our first sweet-

This theory will go big with the fiappers and the drugstore sheiks who, at 17 or l8, believe that they are experiencing the grand passion, and who are utterly convinced that no one has ever loved before as they do, and that they will perish of broken hearts if their cruel parents refuse to let them marry immediately the objects of their odor- But we older people will smile a. little rue- fully and cynically at this view of the importance of first love, for we know that it is Just one of the complaints incident to youth and that we have
