had now a double inducement; for
the fair Rosey was an heiress. and, also,
as appeared from her retaining her

my old quarters among the health
giving 'pinev-woods.' where Mrs.
Browlinp welcomed me with a mother
~ kindness. and the assurance that my
brief iaunt must have done me "a power
of gooi," Judging from my Frightened
looks.
After orr early supper. I repaired to
the little parlor. and, seating myself on
the sofa, gazed long at the beautiful,
coqucttish face on the wall opposite.
At least twenty years had elapsed
sin e that portrait had been taken.
..Rosey'' was now probably a tall.

Whereabouts.
Well. ut that are many women are
more beautiful and attractive than in
their youth. and why. | was myself
nearly thirty. No great difference.
allcr Miss MANDY came in.
and, with some gay knitting IN her
hand, selted herself in 4 low rocking
chair, facing me, and exactly beneath
the portrait.
| glanced from herthin. sallow yisage
to the blooming face above, ~involun-
ta-ilv contrasting the two Then a
sudden idea occurred 20 me. Dorkey
had heard Mr.. Davis mention ''Ro'cy,"
and Miss MANDY. being Davis kiuS-
woman. might know something abou,
her. 50 | said:
Miss MANDY, die you ever know a
young lady of the name OF Rosey
Brown"
She looked up quickly, and pursed
her lips into IA demurc smile.
"Why. Mr.. CouTtenay, what do yoI
want OF Roscy Brown?'
"Oh. | have heard OF hertz | said,
convinced that | was ara on the
track, and proceeding cautiously. Ssh,

THAT was a long time ago. Rosey's
no doubt forgot all about him before
this. He was a weak, n~o-account sort
of a chap" she added. coollv. a she
turned "a round in her knitting.
"What has become of Miss Brown
| ventured to inquire.

here"
Not far from hereg
Miss Mail,r broke into n laugh. ..
"Why, Mr.. CouTUcua,, YOU dom
