and when he entered Judge Courtland's
parlor that night with such grace and
ease, the artillery of bright eyes from all
corners were levelled upon him.
"My.friend, Miss Scranton, from Den

she presented her visitor to the stranger.
Instantly the gentleman recognized
the face he had seen in the horse car a
few days before. Love Scranton, all I'M
