Through the long hours OF the even

in the little room there was a conflict In
the postmaster's mind. Like the Danish
prince, he was trying to solve the ques-
ton: ITO be or not to be-" ITO do or not
to do" BY $40 the little room was de-
serted Securely fastening the outer
door and the one communicating with
the sitting-room OF his sisters family,
the postmaster removed the oil lamp
from Its accustomed place on the bracket
on the wall to his desk in the corner
and once more took up Millicent's letter.
He held 1t up to the light: he put 1t
back In box No. Is; he took Il up and
looked at II again. and then carefully
broke the seal and removed the closely
written sheets from their covering. He
looked at them a few minutes as they
lay there exposed to view. as II wonder
ing how he dared to be so bold. But the
Rubicon was crossed; there was no re-
treating, and he pushed courageously
forward and read Miss Mlllicent's letter.
The postmaster's life had always been
very prosaic. There was one thing in his
remembrance that had ever shed a rose
ate glow over the commonplace. monot-

worshipped her from afar when they had
gone to school together at the little red
brick house at the foot OF the hill. Time
had but served to strengthen this child

first years of manhood she had been his
star OF Bethlehem, as It were. fully as
unapproachable as though she had In
reality occupied a position In a world
far beyond the sphere wherein he dwelt.

But, for reasons best known to herself
alone. Miss Darrell preferred life OF
single blessedness to one Of double
wretchedness, and passed contentedly
and comfortably into a state OF old
maidenhood. and the postmaster settled
down into a chronic. lovelorn melancholy
from which comatoso condition he was
partially aroused, now and then, by the
thought that she might yet change her
mind and honor some unfortunate being
with her heart and hand.
So that was the situation when Miss
Darrell went down to the seashore one

Contrary TO his declaration Of intended
forgetfulness, he thought more about
her than ever, and the consequence was
that he went down to Chelsea station
the next day to investigate the case.
The explanations which directly fol-

person OF the faithfulness OF the other,
