But that night Mrs. Bean said to her

I'm Pennsylvania, at Brinkville."
''Oh, yes! He treated her SO badly, aft

herself miss, suppose. We only heard
that she had died in Pennsylvania-noth-

"That is why she looks so old at so.

Just at that moment the spring roller
blind of house that faced directly on the
sidewalk flew up with a sudden "Br-r-r''
and a snap. Both the men looked around,
and both were just in time to catch sight
of a remarkably pretty girls face with a
pout of veXation on it. The blind had
evidently slipped out of her fingers and
rolled itself up when it was not asked to-
"Who is that girl?' Guthrie asked.
I'm afraid 1 don't know her, old fell

girl, should say. Well ask my wife
when we get home. Now go on with your

that's old Calthorpe's place. He's a fell
low commuter of mine, and that's about
the full extent of our acquaintance. But
she isn't the young lady of your secret, is

that face for the moment looked

in that faraway little village among the
hills and the mines. 1 was interested in
her from the first and tried to win my
way into some sort of acquaintance with
her. But she seemed disinclined to any
thing like society,"
You didn't stay there more than year
altogether did your Bean asked.
Much less than u year. I never ex-
changed moro than six words with her in
all the time we were both in that village.

not more than 10, should judge. 1t is
curious, though.
Guthrie's visits to the home of his mar
ried friend were all much alike in one very
pleasant feature-he always romped with
two out of three children, while the young
