New York, Dec. 19.-By the burning

Island Sound Saturday nine lives were

were not sacrificed undoubtedly was

the likeness of the man she had looked in
TO the closet and upon the photo was
written, "R. Hacy Smithford."
a loud ring at the front door broke the
silence and, light in hand, she hurried
downstairs. At the door stood a boy with
a telegram.
In the closet, all was silence She tore
open the telegram and said to the boy,
Please wait out there in the yard
AS he turned away she closed the front
door and turned the key of the hall closet.
Smthford make break for liberty and
stopped in the hall as he saw Joan with
the telegram in one hand and her eyes
full Of tears. The light or the small lamp
fell upon the thin face and curly hair,
just as it cast a shadow upon the picture
on the mantle and even in his anger and
establishment at his reception Smithford
realized the girls beauty.
She stepped forward with hands out
stretched 81 thought you were the burg
lar and burst into uncomfortable sobs.
Smithford, as has been said before, was
a lady's man and q gentleman as well.
He led the weeping girl TO the big settee
in the hall, talked to her and comforted
her. Perchance even he inwardly enjoyed
the romantic situation.
When Ridgeway drove into the gate
with his aunt, he found the telegraph
messenger still waiting patiently in the
yard and Smithford and Joan in the dim
~ lighted hall. OF course the joke was
too good to keep and even Joan learned to
enjoy it. And in more ways than one,
her brothers prediction proved true. She
had caught Smithford the first time she
saw him. MOLLIE WARREN
