 vel Whatever change had taken place in my view of the young I1ady whom had known as Anna La smoine I could not conceive that any sman should run away from her because of her looks. There is vast variety of individuaI taste in such matters and yet not enough to satisfy the conditions of the problem.
 Either Scovel had seen somebody else or the young lady had assumed form of disguise, perhaps upon a warning. It was not improbable that Jimmy had guessed the lawyers intention, seeing him go out for walk equipped with his fieldglasses, and had promptly con- veyed his information to the apple tree lodge.
 I was considering this matter as walked in the north grove after lunch con and was really very near the truth about it when I came somewhat unex- pectedly into a path that led me to the familiar scene of MT. Trask's artistic endeavors. My first clear view down the path showed me Lucy Ann, and she seemed to be indulging in some form of exercise. She was pacing back yAnd forth under the north tree in a highly energetic manner. The plain gray gown displayed her form and car lLiage to excellent advantage, and was then first aware that nature had very remarkably favored her. She had a Sgirlish figure, slender. but most grace fully rounded. There was good breadth Spf shoulder, and her head was we'll set &n the way that shows high spirit.
 l judged that she was parading thus Rt Trask's command, so that he and Miss Jones might make a study of at lfftudes, and somehow the idea filled me with wrath. I strode out into the clear led space as one who intends to do igomething important, and when sud adeniy perceived that Lucy Ann was Alone had the sensation which comes Df ascending one more step than there ps upon flight of stairs.
 She had stopped at the noise of my SAdvance, and we exchanged n glance yoeTnre elther spoke.
 'I thought Mir, Trask and Miss Jones @were here,' said she. "That Is how I Ehappen to be here"
 tsLucy Ann," said I, did you ever kry walking As relief to the mind ? When anything goes wrong, can Rl- Enost always get rid of it by pacing the @oor."
 SWhen anything goes wrong with Nne,s she replied, "I make it go right. That's better than getting rid of it."
 s'You speak with the confidence of &outh," said I.

 She sat down upon the grass and tanned herself lazily. Splendid self icontrol the girl had. There was not a sign that her soul had been boiling within her so recently. But for that glimpse of her that had had, walking there like little tigress in q cage, I never should have guessed that she NHas not altogether at peace.

 s.It's not much fun to travel alone," I Suggested.
 
 sponded. "It's not for the fun that should go, but just to travel"
 s'To get away from old surround Sngs?'
 ''Tt Is so beautiful here" she cried. hsWho could wish to go away? No, no; l want to take the surroundings with me and leave myself at home. Can you dis Nntangla that nonsenseT
 .sEasily," I replied. "And really it 5sn't nonsense It is always possible to ko away and leave yourself at home. Nhe train starts every minute, and as nSoh of xuu as you please gets aboard. Mshe xroubIai is that most of us are dead- ny careful that our regrets and our lanxietles shall not miss the train. EhaI5e esn. Luev Anns leave 'en cn tho
