and I got no share of my uncle's heart, for all
the love he had was lavished on my cousin
Ralph, my uncle's only child. Love was lit
tie short of alteration. To me my uncle was
always kind, but he had no love to spare-it
was all to Ralph.
Ralph and l grew up like brother and
sister, but like very quarrelsome ones, for he
was a naughty, imperious boy. and having
no one else to lord it over, he generally spent
his temper on me, and l being seldom SUBJ
missive, n day never passed that something
disagreeable did not occur. Still we played
together and liked each other in a certain
way,
lyle, my uncle's family physician, and his
son DJeane spent a great deal of his time with
Ralph and me in fact, being our constant
companion and even then l liked Deane
much better than my own cousin. He was
the complete opposite of Ralph, being gentle
and courteous in his manner to all girls, but
to me In particular. He was n handsome boy
as well, though not SO handsome as Ralph.

Ralph went to college at the same time, be-

Ralph had been home the year before,
but had gone abroad to travel, and Deane
Carlyle was studying law in London. but
when he heard l was at home he came to see
me and spent a month at his fathers, resting
himself, he said.
One evening he came to me, grave and
earnest, and asked me in imploring tones to

hands as if you were near him., as If he saw

one weary sigh and sank back dead, your
name lingering on his lips"
White rs death grew Mildred'sface as mem
Dries of the past swept over her. She turned
to me:
my past the last link is broken"
Without another word she left the room,
and then Willis, turning to me, said (:
Glare. Glare, think how she is suffering.
Did you see how white her face was ? and I
could give my life for her happiness"
Willis" | said, laying my hand on his
arm, " did she not say that the last link to
the pa I was broken"
His face grew pale, and his eyes met mint
with an eager, questioning look.
Glare, do You mean there is hope for me
do you mean she can ever love me?"
Ever love you, Willisy She loves you
now, but she is unconscious of it. She loved

Years have passed since then, and Mildred

beautiful face; but if ever it does l know
that the voice of Willis, speaking tendorly
to her, can Danish it as quickly as il came,
for l know that Mildred is very happy in the
loyal love of her husband.

shoemaker's shop in East Fifty-ninth street.

necessary in order that the Presidents Secre-

from life. There are swollen toes, tlattened
heels, misshapen insteps.
In the collection is the cast OF n college
