AAHT.S~AS'A1/ There was no lack
NSE SSAH OF stories, however
SN regarding the cou
pie; In any part Of
the civilized world, no matter how stolid the
inhabitants, there Is imagination enough to
replace the absent links in q desired chain OF
facts.
All that Haynton and its vicinity really
knew about the supposed llayn-Tramlay affair
was that the Tramlays had been at Hayn
farm, that they had a daughter named Lucia
whose age did not differ much from Phil's
that Phil had been in New York for more
than fortnight, that he had gone direct
from Sol Mantring's sloop to Tramlay 3 Office,
that he had been seen in New York In store
clothes, and that he admitted having seen
Lucia once or twice. Out Of these few facts,
which would have been useless to even a de-
tctive were he unable to treat them as mere
clews to be followed carefully. the enterpris
ing people Of Haynton constructed q number
Of stories, each Of which hung together admir-
ably. That they differed radically from one
another was not the fault Of the local 70
maucers; they had honestly done their best
with the material at hand
Phil did not regard the matter in this light.
When day by day his little brothers returned
from school with tales they had heard from
class mates and wondered greatly that they
had not first heard them at home, Pills tenn
per broke loose 50 suddenly that the boys al
most feared to repeat all they had heard
The wrathful young man learned that he had
proposed to Lucia and been refused, that he
bad been accepted, apparently at the same
interview, that Tramlay was to build hand
some house on tho water front Of Hayn Farm
for his daughter as wedding present, that
Phil took his refusal 20 seriously TO heart
that he was going to study for the ministry,
and that while in New York he had fallen
into drinking habits 90 deeply that Tramlay
had been obliged to write Farmer HGyn to
hurry to the city and remove his unfortunate
con from the scene Of temptation.
Phil grumbled and stormed; he even vowed
that if gossip about him did not end he would
60 to sea. He thought seriously Of publishing
list Of denials in the weekly paper, edited
in the county town, which devoted column
or two to Haynton newR Then he wondered
whether he might not make q confidant Of the
minister and beg that q sermon BE- preached
on the sinfulnes Of gossip; but this plan dis
appeared abruptly when the statement Of his
approaching marriage was traced, almost
with certainty, to the minister himsalf.
But the worst trial Of all remained On
Sunday he met at church and In the young
peoples Bible class all the girls who lived at
or near Haynton. Some Of them belonged to
churches other than that which included the
Hayn family among it, members, but for once
they waived deuominational preferences and
