she was not in the least stirred BY pas

to their counting house and was very

Graham was strongly moved. He met
her 1t the door and said: "Msbel, do
you remember me?"
Poor girl she stared 1t him for mo-

yes! George, remember you WELL"
The sequel needs no telling. Capt

big lock and kew like q sledge ham,

and is associated with . record of hui
lnan passions, hopes and frailties that
once guided and controlled the lives of
several people.
There was a time when the Delaware
titui with fine shrubbery, ana men in
the boat and spar yards worked under
the shade of big willows whose long
branches trailed in the water This
was especially the case 1t Grayley's
timber yard. The old brick house on
the bank of the river was covered with
ivy and Swallowed by a small grove of
Gins, made musical in spring by the
whistle of the blackbirds and martins.
Here lived Martin Bentz with his wife
and daughter. He was Mr.. Grayley's
managing man. kept his books, paid
the hands and sold the timber. The of
fee was in a corner room in the house,
and in the wall was built the safe; it
didn't pretend to be fireproof. but both
old Grayley and his clerk believed that
all the burglars in the state could not
get into it, and every night he locked
the door with serious mien and much
delibsration and then handed the key
10 Martin who kept it until next morn
ing.
To one of our modern artists Il would
be a pleasant hours work to open the
old strong box with = keyhole that
you could put your three fingers in; but
these were primitive days, and old
Martin felt safe Is long rs the key
was in his possession. Bentx was =
German by birth, but his wife Ameri-
can, bred and horn In Fishtown. Al
though the couple were not always &C
cordant in opinion, on one subject they
agreed, and that was the beauty and
excellence Of their daughter Mabel;
and parental Judgments arc often
fallible. but there could be no question
as to Mabel Bentx' merits She was
not only . good daughter. but . very
beautiful girl No race in America
produces more lovely women than the
German-Americans,a and there could be
no better illustration of this than
Martin Bentz' daughter. She was not
much liked by the neighboring girls,
as they were rather a trough lot in those
days, much given to promiscuous
dances that generally ended in free
fight among their admirers, so Mabel.
by avoiding them, got the credit Of
being prond. She was assistant in .

was never without an escort home, but
