Lieutenant Heywood-the

Harvey returned to 1.-THE Griffin" and
half an hour latter he had left Sutton for
ever.
Two days after his departure Bel urn
son held in her hands letter bidding her
farewell and telling her that, though he
could dot but gratefully appreciate her
endeavor to love him, yet knowing as he
did know that she had not forgotten her
first love be had decided to adopt the on
ly course left open to him.
With pale face and trembling fingers
Bel read the letter, then she folded it up
and laid it in her desk.
At ten minutes to O'Clock ON the
morning of the Both of Jun e, five years
after Mrs. Testers death, the bell over
the porch of the village school at Clip
pepdale rang out its SIMMONS. Ding dong
ding dong, pealed along High street from
end to end, over the playground rolled
the Iusty tones and the children stopped
their plays as they recognized the fam
iliar iron tongue" and with one accord
hastened to the door.
Boys and girls rushed together, push
ing, laughing, shouting, striking out at
each other, as one or the other gained q
momentary advantage in the race to
be first at school.
Good morning, children"
The voice was full and pleasant, and the
smile broadened into a grin on the little
faces as the speaker left her desk and
came toward them. She had a word and
a smile for each, for il was the opening
day of school after the midsummer holl-
days, and rules were relaxed and little
license permitted by even so strict dis
ciplinarian as Bel UrmsoE.
Yes, she was Miss Urnson still
quite the same Bel of FIVE years ago. for
sorrow and care had washed the roses
from her checks; but no one gazing on
the pale, beautiful face ever doubted the
fact that her spinsterhoOd was maintain
cd from her own choice.
She was standing up, the children gath
cred around her preparatory to their dis
missal at noon, when the door opened and
Vicar of Chippendale entered, followed
by gentleman.
Good morning Miss Urinson," he
said. shaking hands with her and noddlng
to the children. Il am glad you have not
dismissed your scholars, as l wished my
friend to see them. | cannot myself stay
to give any information about them, but
if you Will kindly tell him abont them 1
shall feel very much obliged. MIR. Har-
