. Romance O BObb1e 'I' was long after midnight and the lights all over the house were out, everything was quiet save now and then the sound of footfalls or the roll of wagon wheels. and yet Bobbie was still awake, going over the events of the day. That had been a strenuous one for her. because she had been on the go every minute until she retired. llobbie was a bright kind of a girl and full of fun. She had very black eyes which told many a tale that could never have been spoken. I-ler hair was jet black. which 'fell in ringlels about her oval face. She made a very pretty picture as she sat at the window, her chin resting on her hand, looking into the night as if in hopes of seeing someone, and occasionally could be heard a sigh and I wonder if he-I wonder- and then linally Uh, pshaw! l am so silly to be sitting here when I should be in bed. l3obbie's mother and father were both dead, so she lived with her aunt in a very large house on Riverside Drive, New York. She had lived there ever since she was about live years old, consequently her aunt was almost like a motherg in fact, Bobbie called her Mother. The next morning Bobbie did not awaken until long after noon. and perhaps she would not have awakened then if it hadn't been for Marie, her maid, calling, Miss Bobbie. the phone. Bobbie jumped out of bed, and, with her heart all in a tiutter, answered the phone- Hello-Yes, this is me-No, I do not-VVho?-NVelll XVhat do you want?-Wfant me to make up, do you?-XfYell. I wou't -and with that she slammed off the phone and went back to her room saying, XVell, I think he had his nerve. l forgot to say that llobbie had had a falling out with her best boy friend, Philip Quenton, all on account of jealousy, and she being in such a rage would not listen to reason. So when the maid brought Philip Quenton's card later on in the day, Bobbie sent word that she was not in. 'l'hat night she had her supper sent up to her as she was not feeling very well and would not be down. I-ler aunt brought the supper all fixed up beautifully. On entering the room she saw that liobbie looked worried and she asked, XVhat's the matter with you, Bobbie? You don't look well-anything worrying you ? No, mother, I just have a little headache, and I am sure I will be all right in the morning. IVith that her aunt went out. only to return, bringing with her a box of Howers. These came this afternoon-I forgot to tell yotlfi .Xfter her aunt had gone again Bobbie, opening the box. found a letter inside ad- dressed iu a well-known hand. She opened the letter and read: IDI-:ixmcs'r Bomnllz: The violets I am sending you are to represent just a wee bit of my love for you. They are also to plead for me, since they can be in your presence and I cannot. l called this evening to try to explain to you what you misunderstood, but. as it seemed. you were out. Listen. dearest, I am going west tomorrow and l would love to see you once before I go. XVon't you give me this one pleasure F'-if so. set a candle in your north window at nine o'clock. l will be sure to see it and will call tomorrow before I leave. Please do this for your PHIL. 37
