"They have a big reputation," she said with a little nod, seating herself in a big chair. I wish June could have heard her. She was still fooling around with the druggist chap and now they were walking over to his little car. I hoped she wouldn't run away from her company.

Well, I saw she was taking care T>f him all right, so I sauntered off for a look at the fields. When I came back Hugh was stand- ing, cap in hand, just leaving my niece. Then Clarence came driving in with his rattly car and stopped with a flourish. "Thursday night, then?" said Clar- ence, taking off his hat and shaking back his hair. He said it real loud. "Thursday night," nodded June, watching Hugh. Then the car wheezed away. June came swinging up the walk, saucy as you please, but Hugh scarce- ly saw her.

"Some guesser, Bess." "What I can't understand," said the girl, "is why Mr. McKenzie doesn't get a .better price for his cattle He ought to be getting a thousand apiece, and he says he averages very much less." Hugh's shoulders drooped a little and he leaned back against the door of his big car and frowned. "I think," said Elizabeth, "he does- n't advertise enough." "An inch in the local paper every week," I said. "That's a good deal for a farmer." "No, it isn't, Uncle John," answered the girl earnestly. "He should have a half page, or a whole one, in the big stock papers. He should have an again. "Any success with that bill?" of money to a neighbor.

Ac- cordingly, the captain called upon this collector and advised him of the cir- cumstances. "If," said the skipper, "you can col- lect that debt. I'll give you half of it."

June sniffed. "Yes, he'd give me a calf for a wedding present, pvo'>nbly.'' I spoke up again. "And what would Clarencv give you? An ice-cream soda? And a rented house to live in, !

Ho is always wanting me to look at his cows." "I hope he will. I should like very much to see them." June didn't say any more and we all went to bed. Thursday night came soon. June was dressed in her nicest blue but when Clarence came, it didn't srem so much fun as when Hugh waa there to see. He hmln't been around since Sunday, nor i ailed up, nor anything. And that was strange for him, living just a milo away, too. When June came back, sho was a bit cross. I could hear her say good- night rather sharply, so I wasn't sur- prised to cee her frowning when she came in. But she stopped slowly, for there were Hugh McKenzie and Klixa- befh. "Good evening, June," he says po- litely, standing up. June's voice was real quiet. "(Icod eveming, Hugh." "Your cousin is coming to look over the cattle to-morrow," he went on and added rather eagerly, "Won't you come, too?" "I I don't think 1 can come, Hugh.

He was so glad about it that he jumped up, grabbed June, and swung her round three or four times before she had a chance to speak. When he set her down her cheeks were as pdnk as her dress. "What's to be done after the date's settled?" I put in. I'm a farmer but I don't know arything about an adver- tised sale." "The newspapers' advertisers come' around to get the material," he ex-| plained, "then we have to have a 1 catalog. There are sixty head we want to sell, and the records have to be ' published." When he finally got u>p to go, he, looked straight at June. "There's a good movie on Saturday night," he said.
