a few days nftorwari. however. she
was called TO alter her opinion with
regard TO Lillths wisdom. Her niece
had gone ont for q stroll with no COM
panlon but her dogs. and a. Miss Mon
ton looked out Of the window awaiting
her return. she was startled to see her
bidding "Good-by" at the gate TO a
man whom she recognized Instantly,
although Il was ten years since aho had

Lillth thanked hor without giving
any definite reply. and hcr aunt sighed.
aud hoped that a girls wilfulncss
would not make her ruin her lifelong
happiness. pcrhaps. after all. Ralph
Trevor would make her % good hua-
band. since she had money, and there
was no fear OF her losing Il, aa she her
self had done ten years before. She
could understand only too VOL the at
traction that he must have Tor n young
and romantic girl. but she wondered a
little that Il could have made Llllth
forget the Injury he had done to the
aunt she undoubtedly loved.

asked. and Lilith flushed again.
Il thought that you would not like
10 meet him. auntle. am afraid that
have had to tell lot OF stories to ac-
'ount TO him for my refusal"
Aunt Eleanor sighed. and asked no
more questions.

on recognized nj once. although II was
10 long since she had received a letter
n the same hand.
