That was ALL"
who stopped writing first?''
Lindsey never answered, blushing.

Marion!" Annie said, putting her arms
around her friend. Hugh says he
wrote to you several times after you
stopped writing. Were your mother
and fnther pleased with your engage
nnent?''

always complaining that he was TAX

Marion said, with a radiant face
"And Hugh will take the letter to
him tomorrow night"

owns the store there, and Hugh has an
interest in It,"
How long have you known that
Lindsey was up here, Aunie?'
II never knew there was such per-
son as Lindsey Moore until to-day.
Hugh didn't want you to know he was
here because you had been so unknd
to him."
Il am going to write to my mother
tonight and ask her why she kept
Lindsey's letters from me. and tell her
God has reunited US" Marion said with
tears IN her eyes.
Hadn't you better wait until you
have seen Lindsey"

Annie sent a messenger with note
to Hugh early the next morning, and
in September there was double we'd
