"You are too good, " murmured Doro-

She could not help wondering, as
they drove along through the mellow
autumn air, how twas that Dick had
SO mistaken his uncle. It seemed to
her that he was all that was charming
and considerate the sort Of old gentle
man who does not seem old, although
his hair is white and he must have
lived years enough for the world to call
old. 1t was evident to her sweet and
simple soul that Dick had never really
got at his unele's Utmost nature which
was true, and all the better for Dick
that he hadn't. He could not, she ar
gued, be such savage as Dick had al
ways made out, for why should he take
so much trouble for an Insignificant
stranger like herself, or for an old wo-
man like Barbara, even If his carriage
did happen to have knocked her down
and broken her leg? That had no.
thing, or next to nothing, to do with
it--oh, 1t was plain to her that Dick
had never managed his uncle properly,
and very likely Lady Aylmer had never
managed him properly either.
So by the time they had reached the
hospital, Dorothy had thought herself
into quite blissful frame of mind. She.
had built up a wonderful castle in the
air, when Lord Aylmer should express
a wish, "Oh, my dear, do wish that
you were- my daughter!" when she
would throw off her disguise and say,
II am the next thing to your daughter"
How" why, I'm Dicks wife,
She was so engrossed in her dream
that she did not notice that they had
reached their destination, until a
smooth voice at her elbow said, Now,
dear lady"
Somehow the tone Jared on her
dream, but her eyes were still radiant
as she turned them toward him. II

TOOK 1T FOR GRANTED.
Worthy Couple Thought the Wedding
License Settled All.

License Settled All.
A lawyer told a few days ago of a
strange state Of affairs that came to his
snotice several years ago whne practic-
ing in the eastern part of the state,
says the Sioux City Journal. He had
not been out of college very long, and
to start in gave considerable attention
to pension claims One day an old
woman, possibly so years of age, came
to his Office. She was widow of
soldier of the war of 1912, and wanted
him to look up her pension claim. He
asked her to show proof of marriage.
The applicant said somewhere in her
house she had the marriage license
that had been issued to her in one Of
the eastern states before that war. But
she had not been able to find 1t. She
was told then that she must secure affi-
davits Of some people who had known
her husband, and of the fact that they
had lived together for years and had
brought up a family. One of the
grown-up sons was with her at the
time and he secured the necessary in
formation. But 10 ne sure that every
thing was all right the lawyer wrote
to the clerk Of the courts of the county
in which the original license had been
issued. That officer replied that the
license had been issued, but that no
return of the marriage had ever been
made. In a few days the old woman
came back to see her lawyer about the
matter, and by that time she had found
the worn marriage license. But that
was all she did have. 1t afterward de-
veloped that the couple had understood
that when the license was issued to
them that it was all that was neces-
sary. They never called in a preacher
to perform the ceremony and had lived
together for all these years and had
brought up large family.

she remarked presently, as she slowly
stirred her own tea round and round.

Eat least he doesn't seem old, you

His hair is as white as snow, and he
has a delicious. old-fashioned, half

They did not permit her to stay very

faint and weak from the shock of the
accident and the pain of her leg. She
was worrying and anxious about her
young mistress, and Dorothy fastened
to reassure her.
"Dear Barbara" she said, "don't wor-
ry the least little bit about me. not
little bit I shall be just as well looked
after as if you were there. Lord Ayl-
mer is going to send at once to his
Wallets wife, very respectable, middle
aged woman, very clever and good
cook And Miss Esther may be here

get on beautifully. All you have to
do, dear Barbara, is to possess your
soul in patience, and get well as quick
ly as ever you can"
81 can't think what the master will
say" fretted Barbara.
"The master! Why, he will be as sor-
ry as if had broken my leg, or very
nearly" Dorothy cried. Now, dear,
here is the nurse looking at me with
threatening eye, must go. Good-by,
my dearest old Barbara, and don't wor-
ry, because I shall have my new help
in tonight" ...a.-s.
She stayed to ask few questions Of
the nurse, chiefly about what things
Barbara would need, then they drove
quietly back to Kensington.
For little way Dorothy was silent.
Poor old Barbarar she burst out at

Lord Aylmer assumed an expression

said to himself as he watched Doro-
