She boarded the 8:30 train <br />with him five days out of seven and <br />yet seemed to hold herself aloof not <br />only from him, but all other masculine <br />creatures. <br />She was a most competent young <br />person and never gave him the least! <br />opportunity to do her a service. In his l <br />determination to make an opportunity <br />for knightly service he ignored the <br />friendly overtures of other neighbors. <br />At last opportunity appeared on the <br />horizon. Pierce had taken the 2:30 <br />train home in hopes of getting a turn j <br />on the links to counteract the depress- <br />ing effects of falling stocks, and there, <br />walking briskly ahead of him under <br />the arching trees of the quaint village, <br />was the inaccessible beauty. And in <br />the dust at the right of her daintily up- <br />lifted skirt lay a handkerchief. Pierce <br />Elkins darted forward. <br />"I beg your pardon, but I think you <br />dropped this." <br />The girl glanced first at the mon, <br />then at the bit of cambric in his hand, <br />and smiled. <br />"But I did not drop it," she said and <br />in verification of the statement pulled <br />her handkerchief from her sleeve. <br />Mumbling inaudible words of apolo- 1 <br />gy, Pierce turned down the <br />oPPosite <br />street toward home. Even golf did not <br />improve bis humor, and the next morn- <br />ing at breakfast his mood had not <br />changed. <br />"Will you have two lumps?" asked <br />Harriet as she was pouring the coffee. <br />"Seventeen," growled Pierce. <br />"Seventeen, all in one cup!" cried <br />Harriet in amazement. <br />"I thought you asked me the day of <br />the month," explained Pierce. "Two <br />will do, The fact Is, Sis, I did not <br />sleep well last night, and my brain is <br />befuddled. That blamed roof leaked <br />again, and the rain came right in on <br />my bed. I've decided not to go to <br />town this morning, but instead I'm go- <br />ing round to see our landlord and tell <br />him what I think of him." <br />"The roof over the kitchen leaks, <br />too," said Harriet plaintively. "You <br />might mention that also." <br />"What's the beast's name?" asked <br />Pierce. <br />"I really don't know," Harriet an- <br />swered. "'rhe bilis come In signed <br />'M. M., per Hock & Hock.' " <br />"Well, I won't bother Hock & Hock, <br />for they are like all agents," said <br />Pierce. "I want the man higher up - <br />the owner himself. M. M.," he mused - <br />"I bet his name is Mike Murphy, and <br />I'll also wager that I'll rouse his Irish <br />before I get through with him." <br />"He lives in the little white bunga- <br />low on Maple avenue. Mr. Hock point- <br />ed it out to me," directed Harriet as <br />her brother started on his mission. <br />Pierce soon found the bungalow and <br />rang the bell. He waited a moment <br />and then rang again. He was in no <br />mood to wait From the hall inside a <br />voice called, "Coining, coming!" <br />And she came -the beauty! <br />Pierce gasped. He had evidently <br />made another mistake. <br />"I am looking for our missing land- <br />lord," be exclaimed. "I really don't <br />know his name -some Irish contractor, <br />I'll bet, ashamed to sign his full name." <br />"Sit down on the porch, won't you, <br />Mr."- She hesitated. The beauty <br />would make no mistakes. <br />"Elkins is my name -Pierce Elkins - <br />and I fear I have made a mistake. My <br />sister and I live in the little red cot- <br />tage on New street I'm searching for <br />our landlord -name unknown, but <br />methods atrocious. Really Miss -Miss" - <br />Now Pierce hesitated. <br />"Markwell," she added. <br />"This landlord signs his receipts 'M. <br />M.,' and I'm after his blood," finished <br />Elkins. <br />"Won't you sit down?" again sug- <br />gested Miss Markwell, and she deftly <br />turned the conversation into more <br />agreeable channels. The landlord was <br />forgotten. <br />"I wonder if your sister would like <br />to know me," said the beauty finally. <br />"I know it is my place to call, but 1 <br />rather hesitated -well. for several rea <br />sons." <br />"Oh, I do wish you would call on <br />Harriet! She's a brick all right and as <br />lonesome as a stray cat No one has <br />called yet." <br />"Well, I'll come over this afternoon <br />whlle you are on the links," said Miss <br />Markwell, with some emphasis about <br />the links. <br />But when Miss Markwell called that <br />afternoon it was Pierce who answered <br />the bell. <br />"You see, I've such a fearful cold <br />from that leaking roof," he explained, <br />"that I thought I had better stay home <br />and nurse it." <br />Miss Markwell bit her lip. <br />I do hope, Miss Elkins," she said, <br />"that I may be allowed to see this <br />much talked of roof while I am here. <br />The fact is," she continued, with ratli- <br />er halting speech -"the fact is, oh, <br />bother -I'm your landlord." <br />Pierce took a firm grip on the table <br />to keep from losing his balance. Nei- <br />ther he nor Harriet spoke, and the <br />beauty was forced to cover the pause. <br />"I'm the 'Terrible Turk; I'm 'Mike <br />Murphy,' alias Muriel Markwell, alias <br />'M. M.'

About five <br />minutes later a man in the garb of a <br />laborer came along. <br />"Mister," he asked, "don't you want <br />to hire that done?" <br />"I don't know," responded Mr. Hip- <br />perly.
