It was such a pleasant October morn
ing that as Nellie Morton bent over her
sewing machine on the Vine-coVered
porch. bit of song leaped to her lips
and dubbed forth; very sweet it sounded
in spite of unframed voice and careless
singing. As soon as it reached his ears
Kent stopped with an expression of half
incredulouS pleasure, and turning a coid
shoulder upon previous engagements, he
swung open the gate and STROBE up the
steps.
