The letter had dropped out of the IL
brury book that he had hastily selected
on his way home The sheets of paper
We're mfalded. and the letter com
mcnced III Il way that made him think
he had rs much right 10 read il as amy
one else. 1t WAS a love letter; undoubt-
cdly tie whole heart Of the woman
WAS in it. but it commenced Dear Tn
known Man" Before he read ii he
thought some silly schoolgirl had put
ii in the book with the iuteution of
getting up Irritation, hut he realized
that II WAS II letter II schoolgirl could
not have written.
This woman was tired and disap-
pointed She had evidently expected
more than she had found and Through
some within had written all her disap-
pointment and heartache to the only
person that could fully understand ii
her ideal man.
There was Il longing for nm under
standing and fer sympathy that the
kneWn men had never been able to sat-
isfy. Stanley could imagine that she
had relieved Il spell of dependency by
putting her thoughts on paper on the
same principle that he talked to his
dog or smoked an extra cigar The
thing he could not understand was that
Il woman capable of such depths of in
tcllcct and feeling should have had so
silly an impulse aud put the letter in
Il library book
There was no name or address at
least she expected no reply.
He got up from his easy chair and
walked To the window \ cold, drlz-
zling sIeet beat against the pnne. and
the electric lights from the street turn
ed the night into n CHASTITY gray
His dog had followed him and stood
with his fore paws on the window
ledge
\ sudden furious blast striking the
pane made the dog rub his head against
his master and whine his desire for
companionship and affection.
Are You lonely. too old fellow? Two
old bachelors like us, living in fiat.
Ought not To expect 10 he gay You
