' Qilhlayeb Uiebeatsal l-IE sun came into the car window unpleasantly hot and Durbison opened his eyes sleepily and swung his chair away from the offending rays, thus bringing into View a trim y sailor hat and a coil of brown hair above the chair opposite. Across the green carpet the sunbeam found its way and then dropped its brilliant ray upon the girl's hair touching it into brilliancy almost golden. Durbison realized suddenly that the three hours' ride to Sanderson might prove endurable in spite of the heat and dust. john Howard had written that he might have company down. The sun glancing on the narrow mirror oppo- site struck back into his face. Durbison looked that way involuntarily and smiled as a pair of blue eyes fixed curiously on him dropped and guiltily drew away. But his smile was a jubilant one for the eyes refiected in the glass were blue and he recognized them from the description john had given him as those of Dorothy. He rose and laid his hand on the back of the chair. I beg your pardon, he said, but -lack wrote me that you might be on the train and I recognized you at once from the description. I'1n Phil Durbi- son, you know. I'he girl put out her hand in cordial welcome. I am glad, Mr. Durbisonfl she said. I thought it might be you when I came in but you were asleepg sit down and talk to me, do, or I'll soon be asleep myself. The girl had a ring of genuine welcome in her voice, so he sat down. Isn't it a little strange for you to be on the late train to-day? he asked. Not at all, there were a dozen details that had to be attended to person- ally. Jack wanted to come, but I dared not trust him. You have no idea, Mr. Durbison, what a wedding is. By the way, are you nervous?', I-Iorribly so. It's your first experience, then? My first, but I've had some very narrow escapes. When my brother was married, I had sudden business in Mexico, and when our junior partner de- cided no one but me could be his best man, some mines in Colorado needed instant attention. In fact, I am doing for Jack what I'd do for no other living man. The blue eyes thanked him. It is good of you, she said simply. I-Ie has- tened to reassure her, MI am glad to do it for Jack-and you. She blushed quickly and looked away. Jack is very fortunate- she began. He surely is, he murmured. 'fIn his choice of best man, she finished laughinff. You have never been to Oak View? Never, b 7: 40
