The Story of a Picture.
BY Pulling.


Why! Whose photograph is this?"
said Adele.
We were sitting on a shady seat in
the park, watching the stream of car
riages as they passed and ~re-passed. I
had taken out my pocket-book to see
the time of the next car h~oneward.
and Ade1e's sharp eyes had spied out
something that was never meant for
them. When I looked up the picture
was in her hand.
It certainly was a trying moment and
I made a sudden clutch at it with an
impulsive movement which gave me
away at once. It was no use now pre-
tending that it came in a packet of
cigarettes, or that it was the likeness
of a cousin or an aunt. Besides, I was
truthful by nature.
ooh, that-that-' I said, trying to
speak carelessly. Let me see. Oh,
that is the photograph of a girl I met
last July. Fancy it being still in my
pocket-book."
"Yes, just fancy" said Adele quietly.
Then she looked up and regarded my
warm face very intently.

the seashore, didn't you, Clem?" she
said. st remember your writing to

was watching her closely, and he was
very nervous. His lips were dry. and
his hand trembled a little as he held 1t

Very, very slowly, Miss Allardyce
stretched out the hand which held the
envelope towards him. Part Of the let

and the Fates decreed hat just at this
critical moment three written words

You mustn't read it, really; it will only
vex you
Don't be sil1y!'' said Miss A11ardyce,
still smiling, and again immersed her
self in her reading. For some unac-
countable reason the more read the
deeper grew the tinge Of pink on the
side of her cheek which was turned
towards Thornton. Now this can't
have been due to reflection, because the
letter was written IN white paper.
Thornton noted it, and being merely a
man, and, therefore, prone to misunder-
stand the simplest situations, mistook
the reason for suppressed amusement
and felt hurt.
Miss A1lardyce read on, apparently
oblivious of Thornton's presence. Now
and again her face softened wonder
fully, and the lips trembled n qulY-
! cred a little, and at these moments she
bent her head lower over the letter, as
though the writing had suddenly be-
come indistinct and blurred.
It was a long letter, the one literary
outburst of a man whose fingers were
somewhat clumsy with the pen, but the
! writer had been impressed with the due
Importance of his work, and the words

hunting for choice phrases, but he

, quarter as we'll.
Miss Al1ardyce turned the last page,
and something fell with a soft, little
splash on to the open sheet just above
the signature.
Thornton saw 1t, and became con-
scious of an uncomfortable something
in his throat, and a desire to get by
himself and kick himself very savagely
for annoying a goddess.
For a full minute, by the clock, Miss
Allardyce sat with the letter in her
hands, staring blankly into space with
| a piteous smile.
"Wel1?' said Thornton at last, and
his voice sounded harsh even to him
self.
81 think" said Miss Allardyce, look
ing him square1y in the face, that this
is the incest letter I ever read" And
the corners of her mouth took an up
ward curve.
Aimee whispered Thornton.
"Wel1?' said Miss Allardyce, with a
suspicion of the old hooking tone in
her voice.
