Philip and Mary We're engaged. The
wedding wasn't To be for two years. be-
cause Philip must so west and work up
a peg or TWO from a position which had
becn offered him in a city beyond the
great river. Philip was TO leave soon.
Gnluckily, just a wee before the time
set for his departure. a distant cousin
O Mary Spencer. a young and handsome
fellow. came from Virginia TO accept =
position in Boston, and for time he was
4 guest at the old Dorchester homestead.
Mary Spencer drove once or twice with
this fourth cousin Of hers. went to the
theater with him and held one. side Of the
hymnal on Sunday in old St. Matthew
church on the hill. These were only ordi-
nary courtesies. and Mary Spencer never
had touch of feeling in her heart be-
yond that Of liking for anyone on the face
OF the earth but Philip Bradley.
Philip, however was jealous, unreason-
ably Jealous. He went one evening 10 thu
old gray gabled Spencer home just as the
last golden shaft from the sun was touch
ing the crest of Dorchester Heights.
Mary met him in the garden. There was
the scent OF mignonette, of sweet peas.
OF cinnamon roses and helitrope in the
summer evening air. An oriole was whist
ling goodnight to the sun from the edge
Of his cradle nest slung 10 the dropping
branches of the ola New England elm. 1t
was in very truth an old-fashioned gar
den where these two met.
Philip upbraided Mary. The Virginia
cousin was the cause. Mary was Of
Tended, and justly. and she answered in
kind. Philips temper broke loose and
Mary told him to go. An hour later
there came a note of repentance, sincere
repentance. Ii came too soon. Pride. or
was it something to be called by a harsher
name, kept Mary Spencer from the for
give and forget" mood. She wrote an an
swer thoughtless and bitter, and then she
repented but Philip Bradley went away
out into the far West.
Mary Spencer's father died. He left
nothing and the old homestead was
found to be heavily mortgaged. Mary's
sole reliance for support was her educa-
ton. she went away from Boston with
its painful memories to take up teaching
duties.
