"Mamma:" •
"Yes?" Mrs. Baxter paused.
"Mamma, what do you s'pose Willie
barktd at the lookln'-ghiss for?"
"That." suld Mrs. Baxter, "is be
yond me. Young people and children
do the strangest things, Jane! And
then, when they net to be middle aged,
they forget all those strunye things
they did, and they can't undeiitand
what the new young people, like yon
and Willie, mean by the strange things
they do."
"Yes'm. I bet 1 know what he was
barkln' for, mamma. I think he was
kind of practlclu'. 1 think he was
practlclu' how to bark at Mr. Parcher."
"N'o, no!" Mrs. Baxter laughed.
"Who ever could think of such a thing
but you, Jane? You go to sleep and
forget your nonsense!"
Nevertheless Jane might always hare
been gifted with clairvoyance, her pre
posterous Idea came so close to the
actual fact, for at tliat very moment
William was barking. He was not
barking directly at Mr. Parcher, It Is
true, but within a short distance of
him and all too well within his hearing.
CHAPTER V.
Mr. Pareher and Lovt.
MK. PAUCIILK, that unhappy
geutleman, having been drlv
en Indoor* from his own
porch. had attempted to read
"Plutarch's Lives" In the library; but,
owing to the adjacency of the porch
and the Bummer necessity for open
windows, his escape spared only bla
eyes and not his suffering ears. The
house was small, being but half of a
double one, with small rooms, and the
"parlor," library and dining room all
about equally exposed to the porch
which ran along the side of the house.
Mr. Pareher had no refuge except
I bed or the kitchen, (ind as he was
| troubled with chronic Insomnia, and
the cook had callers In the kitchen, his
case was desperate. Most unfortu
nately. too, his reading lamp; the only
one in the house, wns a fixture near a
•window, and Just beyond that window
sat Miss I'ratt and William in sweet
unconsciousness, while Miss Pareher
entertained the overflow, consisting of
Mr. Johnnie Watson, at the other end
of the porch.
Listening perforce to the conversa
tion of the former couple, he found It
Impossible to sit still in his chair.
Sometimes he gasped, and other times
be moaned a little.
"Oh, cute urns;" came the allvery
voice of Miss Pratt from the likewise
silvery porch outside, underneath the
summer moon. "I>arlin' Kloplt, look!
Ickle boy Baxter goiu' make Imitations
of darlln' Flopit again. See! Ickle boy
Baxter puts head one side, then other
slUe, Jlist line uanui riopu, tucu iwru
Just like darliu' Flopit! Ladles and
'eutleineu, imitation* of darlln' Flopit
by ickle boy Baxter."
"Berp-werp! 'Berp-werp!" came the
voice of William Sylvanus Baxter.
And iu the library "Plutarch's Lives"
moved convulsively, while with writh
ing lips Mr. Farcher muttered to him
self.
"More, more!" cried Miss Pratt, clap
ping her hands. "Do it again, ickle
boy Baxter!"
"Berp-werp! Berp-werp-werp!"
"Word!" muttered Mr. Parcher.
Miss Pratt's voice became surcharged
with honejed wonder. "How did he
learu such murv'lous, marv'lous Imita
tions of darliu' Flopit? He ought to
go ou the big, big stage and be a really
actor, oughtn't he, darliu' Flopit? He
could make mllyums and milyuma of
dollardles. couldn't he, darlln' Flopit?"
William's modest laugh disclaimed
, any great ambition for himself In this
' line. "Oh, I always could think up
1 imitations of animals, things like that,
| but I hardly would care to—to adop'
the stage for a career. Would—you?"
! There was a thrill in his voice when
he pronounced the ineffably significant
word "you."
"It's my dream!" she said
William, seated upon a stool at her
feet, gazed up at the amber head, di
vinely splashed by the ram of moon
light. The lire with which she spoke
stirred him as few things had ever
stirred him. He knew she bad Just
vealed a side of herself which she re
served for only the chosen few who
were capable of understanding her,
and he fell into a blissful rapture.
"It was wonderful of you to »ay that
to me," he said. "I shall never for
get it!"
"It's my dream!" Miss Pratt exclajffl
ed again, with the' same enthusiasm
' "It's mx. dream'-'
"You'" tvoUldT'taaffe a gMWottS itC
tress!" he said.
At that her mood changed. She
laughed a laugh like a sweet little
girl's laugh (not Jane's) and, setting
her rooking chair in motion, cuddled
the fuzzy white doglet in her arms.
"Ickle boy Baiter t'yln1 flatterbox us,
nmnlii' Flopit! No'tj*, no'ty flatter
box 1"
"No, no!" William insisted earnestly.
"I mean it But-^but"—
"But whatcums?"
"What do you think about actors and
actreuses making love to each othar
' on the stage? Do you think they have
to really feel it, or do they Just pre
tend?"
"Well," Mid Miss Pratt weightily,
' """'H in
"Do it again, ickla boy Baxtarl"
"sometimes one way, sometimes the
other."
William's gravity became more and
more profound. "Yes, but bow can
they pretend like that? Don't you
think lovv is a sacred thing, Cousin
Lola?"
Fictitious slstersblps, brothershlps
and couslDsblps are devices to pusb
tilings along well known to seventeen
and even more advanced ages. On the
wonderful evening of their flrst meet
ing William and Miss Pratt had eorlly
arranged to be called respectively
"Ickle boy Baxter" and "Cousin Lola."
Thus they had broken down the tedi
ous formalities ot their flrst twenty
minutes together.
"Don't you turns love is sacreur ue
repeated in his deepest tone.
"Ess," said Miss Tiatt.
"I do!" William was emphatic. "I
think love is the most sacred tiling
(here is. I don't mean some kinds of
love. I mean real love. You take
Borne people; 1 don't believe they ever
know what real love ineaus. They
talk about it, maybe, but they don't
understand it. Love is something no
body can understand unless they feel
it, and—and if they don't understand it
they don't feel it. l>on't you think so?"
"Ess."
"Love," William continued,- his voice
lifting and thrilling to the great theme
—"love is something nobody can ever
have but one time in their lives, and
if they don't have it then, why, prob'ly
they never will. Now, if a man really
loves a girl, why, he'd do anything in
the world sho wanted him to. Don't
you think buY"
"Ess. 'deedums!" said the silvery
voice.
"But if he didn't, then he wouldn't,"
said William vehemently. "But when
a man really loves a girl he will. Now,
you take a man like that and he can
generally do Just about anything the
girl he loves wants him to. Say, f'r
Instance, she wants him to love her
even more than he does already, or al
most anything like that, and supposin'
she asks him to. Well, he would go
ahead and do it If they really loved
each other he would!"
He paused a momeut, then in a low
ered tone he said, "1 think real love is
sacred, don't you?"
"Don't you think love Is the most
►acred thing there Is—that K tf It's
real love?"
"Pas."
"I do," said William warmly. "I.—
I'm glad you feel like that, because I
think reul love Is the kind nobody
could have but just ouce In their lives,
but if it Isn't real love, why—why,
most people never have it at all, be
cause"— lie paused, seeming to noek
for the exact phrase which would ex
press his meaning. "Because the real
love a man feels for a girl and a girl
for a man, If they really love each oth
er^-and, you look at a case like that,
of course they would both love each
other or It wouldn't be real love—well,
w.tiat I say is, if it's real love—well, It's
—it's sacred, because 1 think that kind
of love Is always sacred. Don't you
think love Is sacred If It's the real
thing?"
"Ess," said Miss Pratt. "Do Floplt
again. Be Floplt!"
"Berp-werp! Berp-werp-werp!"
And within the library an agonized
man writhed and muttered:
"Word! Word! WORD"—
This hoarse repetition had become
almost continuous. But out on the
porch, that little Jasmine scented bow
er in Aready where youth cried to
youth and golden heads were haloed,
in the moonshine, there fell a sllenc^
not utter silence, for out there at* ethe
real music sounded constantly, un
heard and forgotten bJ' older ears.
It was William who spoke again.
"How"— he began, and bis voice trem
bled a little—"how—how do you—how
do you think of me when I'm not with
you?"
"Think nice-cums," Miss P^att re
sponded. "Floplt an' me $uak Ce
cums."
"No," saiU, William; "X mean what
n«pae dq you have for me when you're
—^;hen you're, thinking about me?"
Miss Pratt seemed to be puzzled.
"I_meim like explain
odl ""IT? fTisTanto, wnon yoU first came
I always thought of you as Milady."
"Ebs. Boo'fnms."
"But now I don't," he said. "Now I
think of you by another name when
I'm alone. It—It Just sort of came
to tae. It was about as strange a
thing as I ever knew of. Don't you
think ao?"
"Ess. It uz dest weird!" she an
swered. "What are dat pitty names?"
"I called you," said William huskily
and reverently—"I called you My Babj
Talk Lady."
Bang!
They were startled by a crash from
within the library. A heavy weight
seemed to hare fallen, or to have been
hurled, a considerable distance. Step
ping to the window, William beheld a
large volume lying in a distorted atti
tude at the foot of the wall opposite |
to that in which the reading lamp was
a fixture. Mr. Parcher had given up
and was now hastening to his bed in
the last faint hope of saving his rea
son.
William guzed upon the fallen Plu
tarch. "Somebody must 'a' thrown it
at a bug or something, 1 guess." Then
a second explosion sent Its reverbera
tions through the house.
"My doodness!" Miss Pratt ex
claimed.
WUliam laughed reassuringly. "It's
only a door blew shut upstairs." he
said.
Unfortunately fur him. Joe Bullitt
now made his appearance. Mr. Bullitt,
though almost a year younger than
either William or Johnnie Watson, was
of a masterful disposition. Moreover,
In regard to Miss Pratt, his affections
were in as ardent a state as those
of his rivals, and he lacked Johnnie's
meekness. He firmly declined to be
■hunted by Miss Parcher, who was
trying to favor William's cause, ac
cording to a promise he had won of
her. Regardless of her efforts, Mr.
Bullitt descended upon William and
his Baby Talk I-ady and received from
the latter a honeyed greeting, some
what to the former's astonishment.
"Oh, goody cute!" cried Miss Pratt.
"Here's big Bruvva Joste-Joe!" And
she lifted her little dog elose to Mr.
Bullitt's face, guiding one of Floplt's ,
paws with her fingers. "Stroke big
Bruvva Josle-Joe's pint teeks, darlln'
Floplt." (Josle-Joe's pink cheeks were ,
indicated by the expression "plat
teeks'' evidently, for her accompany- '
ing action was to pass Floplt's paw
lightly over those glowing surfaces.)
" 'At's nice!" she remarked. "Stroke
him geutly, p'eshus Floplt, an' nen
we'll coax him to make pitty slngln'
for us, like us did yestlday."
| She turned to William.
coax mm to niase piny singin. i
love Ills voice. I'm dest crazy over It
Isn't oo?"
William's passion for Mr. Bullitt's
voice appeared to be under control.
He laughed coldly, almost harshly.,
"Him sing?'' he said. "Has he been
tryln' to sing around here? I wonder
the family didn't call for the police!"
"Well, they will." Bullitt retorted,
"If you ever spring one o' your solos
on 'em!" And, turning to Miss I'ratt,
lie laughed loudly and bitterly. ,-You
ought to hear Silly Bill sing—some
time when you don't mind gotn' to bed
sick for a couple o' days!"
"Let's all sing." the tactful Miss
Pratt proposed hastily. "Come on,
May and Cousin Johnnie Jump-Up!"
she called to Miss Parcher and Mr.
Watson. "Slnglu' school, dlris an*
hoys! Slngin' school! Ding, ding!
Singln' school bell's a-wlngin!"
The diversion was successful. Miss
Parcher and Mr. Watson JoUkmI the
other group with alacrity, and the tlvc
young people were presently seated to
gether upon the steps of the porch,
sending their voices out upon the air
and up to Mr. Parcher's Window In
the song they found loveliest that
summer.
The singers thought so highly o£ the
words that Mr. Parcher uiissed not
one, especially as the vocal rivalry be
tween Joule-Joe and Ickle Boy Baxter
incited each of tbetn to prevent Miss
Pratt from hearing the other.
William sang loudest of all. Mr.
Parcher had at no time any difficulty
In recognizing hu w><c«.

And I lav* tny love »i night:
J love u»" 1q,y« In U<« dawning

Others may love the dew;

But I love only you-oo-oo!
By tho Btara up above
It Is you I luh-huv!
YeB, I love own-lay you'^
They sang it four 'lines; then Mr.
Bullitt snug his s^o, "Tell Uer, O
Golden Moon, How 1 Adore Her," Wil
liam following vith "The Violate
Loves the Cowslip, but I Love Yew^
and after that they all sang "Oh, 1
Love My Love In the Morning" again.
All this while that they 6ang of love
Mr. Parcher was moving to and. fro
upon his bed. not more than eighteen
feet In an oblique upwurd slanting line
from the heads of the serenaders.
Miss Jane Baxter cpoued her eyes
upon the newborn, flay, and her tlrst
thoughts were of Mr. Parclier—that Is,
he was already Vn her mind when she
awoke, a, circumstance to be accounted
for on the ground that his conversa
tion during her quiet convalescence In
hi* library had bo fascinated her that
in all likelihood she had been. dreaming
of him.
Then, too, Jane and Mr. Parcher had
a bond in common,, though Mr. Parch
er did not know Jt, Not without re
sult had WUtiam repeated Miss Pratt's
Inquiry W Jane's hearing, "Who Is that
cv.rteua child'}" Jane had preserved
her sang frold, but the words remained
with her, for she was one at those who
ponder aud retain In silence.
