Lowell fingered IN the veranda, Mis-

"A bonnie boschs to write Guy
thought Mim Esie; evil put it in {
postscript - An afterthought." It VA
not strange II Min Lowell became sadly
disturbed at Guys departure without I
word, and 1t he subsequent silence. Sha
could not question his cousins; and q
day after day paned without 1 syllable
in explanation, she decided that he hal
been merely passing the time, - peopl,
win ct the beach; that IL was no tru,
aAecticn, but . win-o-the-wisp which Oh
had taken for . reality. Guy, In hi
turn, was both hurt and angry that ah,
paid no heed TO his farewell note; blu
he had NO time 70 upbraid her, and thel
came Enisis postscript.
Another letter bad arrived for Guy u
the same mail-a letter from the woman
to whom he had been engaged for year,
