Mrs. North, upon this, said her SISTER needn't
be in any hurry. Didn't she think she'd better
stop 10 supper?
No. Mrs. LANDAU didn't think so.
She waited until she seated in the buggy
and had the reins in her hand before she looked
directly at Mrs North and asked:
Roxy, where is your daughter

the answer.

wait twenty years"
She gave her hand to her sister then to her
brother-in-law.
As she drove away the two stood and looked
after her
She's Just the same" said Mrs. North at last.
Nj North only made an inarticulate SQUAD.

Yes, they were iirst-ratcH As Mr.. North said
this he turned and walked across the road to the
barn.
That night as the two sat together in the twi-
light after supper. Mrs. North, rocking heavily
back and forth, said abruptly:
Il do hope Katharine won't so down TO that
shore where Kate is"
Because" with great literalness, she might
see Kate. She might get acquainted with her
Mr.. North crossed his legs and then suddenly
uncrosscd them.
She's your own sister, you know he said at
last
"Of course But" with stolid repetition, Il
hope she won't 90 where Kate Is
This was futile wish upon Mrs. North's part,
for Mrs. LANDAU was driving along the hot,
dusty road toward the hotel with intention
extremely defined in her thoughts
She meant 10 that restaurant girl before
she slept that night That tin-Spoon girl, as
Owen called her.
She could not help smiling that Roxy should
have had 4 daughter unlike her. But when
she thought what the daughters life with such
a mother must he she ceased smiling.
She caught the tram back 10 Boston Al
twilight she was sitting on the deck OF one Ei
between the town and the coast resorts. She
withdrew from that portion Of the boat where
were many people she knew. She told helscli
that she ict like being alone. She wanted to

IL is rather striking fact that when people
say they want 10 think, aud remove themselves
somewhat from their cllowmcn for that purpose.

This was the case with Mrs. LANDAU now.
She turned her back on tine crowd and liked her
eyes upon the moving water and the glldIng

had not entirely faded. but the FAINT. blue dusk

The harbor OF Boston, and the winding inside
track taken by of these steamers reveal
beauties so exquisite that one might imagine mn

Mrs LANDAU would have said that she was
always too susceptible 10 beauty OF any KING;
But she would have said II mocklngy, aud would
have added that age aud experience had hafdehed
her.
Now her eyes took in the distant perspective
OF fast deepening violet shadows. and her
thoughts lowered continually over the first years
Of her grlhood. Again she said TO herself a.
she had said thousand times before;
Perhaps il mother had lived II would have
been different.
A. this point her mind came almost with
material shock upon the fact that one mother.

Only LET the human being live. With full NE

With these words in her mind, Mr.. LandaG
rose 10 walk forward a. the boat nearcd the
wharf.
Everybody pressed toward the landing.
There were the carriages ranged carefully. The
residents were out IN force. Almost every ear
rage held carefully dressed ladies who had driven
down To meet somebody coming from BOSTON
The harnesses gittercd IN the lights; the horses
tossed up their heads and clankcd the chains
from their bits. The barecs~ too. were RANGED

The Young man disappeared Presently the girl
saw him, dismountcd near the gangway
She looked AT him intenily for an instant. ana

At this moment and for many odd moments
previous since their acquaintance began, MISS fila
Wyckham had been endeavOfing 10 decide whether
