The sand .wal white, the breeze caressing, and Dorothy seemed unusu- ally susceptible. I judged it to be an suspicious time to declare my feelings. no I began: " "Dorothy, dear. I have _ _wealth through no fault of my own, social status ditto and u moderately good dis- position. I love you. Will you mor"- To my surprise, Mistress Dorothy sprang to ber knees. crying, “Don’t. don‘tl" and clapped her small -hand over my mouth. “Very well, then. I wont," Lasld. "Oh, but I want you tol" was tho next astounding development. while she dropped down on the sand again, bowed her bend and wept; 4 I thought I was used to Dorothy’l moods, but I realized then' that my knowledge concerning them was small. Ao I didn't know what also to do, l just out still. Finally' she raised ber heud from the sanctuary of ber hands und looked ut me reprouchfully. "Oh, Geox-ge, I've been waiting u whole year to hear you any it, and now why couldn't you have said it dif- ferently?" I sat up o little straighter. "How should you wish me to approach the subject?" 1 inquired ycoldly. “Of course you don't understand, pour boy!" sho sighed. poking back be- hind her pink ear u little damp brown curl. “I have u ehum at home, and we were always thinking of something that no ono else would. One day she sold, ‘Lot’s make vows.' So we each took u pieco of paper and wrote on it it vow which we were bound to keep lf wo were-were-hanged for it. Nell‘s vow wus"- “Never mind Nell'u vow," I said. “What was yours?" “I vowed I wouldn't marry n man who didn't propose to me in a way no other mon ever did." "Ever proposed to yon?" I asked jeulously. _ "No, not Ever proposed to anybody. I vowed, so I have to keep it. Oh, George, I've just lived to have you soy lt in some strange wnyl" “There’s no law against u l'ellow's proposing twice. is there?" I asked. She loolrcd up ongcrly. "Oh, you hnven't said it yet, you know! I stop- pedryou. Do you suppose you could think oi' some original way ?" “Well, I‘ll try mighty hard. But what a fool thing for you to do any- wayl" "I know it," she acknowledged, with unusual meekness. As our afternoons at Santa Monica were devoted to the surf. we met again In front of the bathhouso and, hand in hand, walked toward the seething breakers. She looked more charming than ever in het' black suit, banded with scarlet. and a scarlet handker- chief knotted about her small head. "Heavens, Dorothy, how I love you!" I exclaimed as we emerged from our plunge through the first swell. “And I love you, too, dear,” she mur- mured, coloring a little. “You will tind some way, won’t you 7" "Yes, if I have to pick you up some day and run ot! with you." “'.l‘ha.t wouldn't do. Some of the sav- ages behave that way. It isn't the do- ing anyway; it's the asking." "Dorothy Allen. see that swell com- ing? When it gets here I’ll hold you under it till there'lsn't a breath left in your b_ody if you don't say you’ll mur- ry me." "It isu't original," she persisted. “Tho man Nell’s engaged to said al- most that." “Darn tho man, and Nell. toolf' I said viciously under my breath. I didn't try any more that day, but she allowed me one kiss as we sat on the raft, and that was something. It would be a wearlsome task to re- late all the wnys tu which I tried to propose to Dorothy that summer. 1 luy awake nights trying to think of some wild and woolly way to ask her- to marry me, only to face bitter defeat by being told that some other John had said the some to his Joan. Doro- tl\y’s knowledge on the subject seemed prodigious. It would have looked su- piclous to me had sho not really felt ns bud as I did over my inability to be original. » The summer was almost gone. A certain Thursday was to mark Doro- thy's departure for her New York home. On tho Tuesday before we. with a guy party, were to visit Mount Lowe. Dorothy's pretty lips read the de- scription from tho guidebook as we left Los Angeles and were borneswift- ly through suburban places toward the fog wrenthed mountains. The rest of the crowd was considerately oblivious of us two, so dually 1 made bold to in- terrupt. ` ‘°Dorothy,~tbis bus got to ond. I am losing my appetite, and I ean‘t sleep nights. I have tried twelve times. lf l can't Bud a way to suit you on this trip I am ot! for Africa or Shanghai next_ week. You uoedn’t look incred- nloun. I um in dead earnest." “Seems ns though you might think nt something," she replied. “And it I do you are going to marry mo right away and letmo go home with you," I wont on, ignoring the ro- pronch of her nmol-lt. “I deserve iomething for all I‘ve gone through." She didn't ny yn; but, on _thootlm , 80 Grafton Street. Opp. Open H0\1S¢ l I R ul hmd.¢hodidn‘tuyno.|o Ifeltmr- lyconndent. “Echo mountain!" called the con- ductor. “Change can for Alpina tow em! Five minutes' wait!" On the tight were the mins of o ho- tel, which we went oval' to observe. Hero we found u cannon, mounted and ready for buslneu. _ "That," sold the man who had been there before, “ll tired ot occasionally to show tho mansions power of echo. It reverberates here, yonder, to the right, tho left, many times over." I _grclpod Dorothy's hand and draw her away from the crowd. "Darling," I whispered, "Pm going back on this car, and l'm going to man ry you tonight. Walt here or nt the observatory yonder. When you get tired of observing. pick your wedding bouquet. for you will need it as soon as I get back. Goodby, sweetheart." And before she could do anything but stare at me in a half frightened. wholly charming way I had caught the down cur and wal out of her sight. Once the cur reached Los Angelo! I was out, tearing along the sidewalk to the courthouse. whore tho smiling coun- ty clerk favored me with the precioul bit of paper which would allow mo to wed my Dorothy. “Do you know anything about any of the preachers in this town?" I asked. wiping my perspiring forehead. His smile broadened. "Well, if it is a runaway match I shouldn’t ldvilo you to tackle the Methodist. A trido narrow is Mr."- "lt: isu't: it runaway match." I on- swered hastily. "but for certain reu- sons I want the service! of 1 young man." _ "Mn B. of the Unitarian is about your age, I should Judge." “He'o the msn. Where can I und him?" _ After getting definite directions I tied downthe courthouse steps. I found Mr. B., who when ho had heard my story laughed immoderately, but. as I thought a' young man would. consent- ed to go with ma. Consequently the last: car for Altadena and Mount Lowe found us on board. together with a huge, awkward parcel which I had purchased on the way to the station. As the car reached Echo mountain I found a laughing, much larger crowd than we had started with and in their midst Dorothy, looking most uncom- fortable, but holding in her little hands o. bouquet of Indian point brush, the gorgeous coloring matching well the hue of her own sweet cheeks. “'I‘hey’ve surmised something." I whispered to my companion. "Weil, the more the met-rler, I suppose; kind of tough on us, though." At which speech I thought: the min- ister was going to disgrace his cloth again by unscemly levity. The crowd drew buck a little as I advanced to- wnrtl Dorothy and introduced the rev- erend gentleman. I tucked her little trembling hnnd under my arm, and, with my great parccl under the other. the minister discreetly lending and aft- er no the crowd, though not fully un- derstanding the play. we weuded our wny toward the cannon. mounted and rendy for business. I dropped Dolly's hand. tore the pa- per wrupplng from my megaphono and put it to my lips. "Dorothyl" I shouted, and first this hill, then that, here, there, yonder, re- peated her sweet name. I raised it to my lips again, and "Bs mtuel" sang out the hills. Then I laid it: on the ground and held out my hand, while the women smiled and the men tossed up their hats in delight. The situation was severe but my Dor- othy wns game. Blushing, tearful, yet happy wlthnl, she gave me her hand. and the minister stepped forward ,with his little book.

As he went on to explain it, the conception proved to be one which any person might be glad to hold through life. “A new boy had come to school that dny. I had been told that his father was u millionaire, with lots of money. Before school we looked upon hun in bewilderment and whispered together that we'd ‘just walt till we beard him recite/ Little barefooted Neddy Blake muttered wurningly: “ ‘J es' wait till we get him in u spell~ ln’ match.
