quired of Aylette why he never brought
Mr.. Phillips with him to call, and she
admitted to Miss Entrekin that she
had been interested in the reserved.
handsome young fellow. Once she
frankly asked Aylette to bring Phil
lipps to call, but the message was never
delivered, and Aylette lied about 1t to
her, telling her Phillips preferred not
to come, and the girl. surprised and
hurt, never referred to him again.
Phillips became more silent than ever
and worked harder, refusing to join in
any of the little pleasures Of the others
in the boarding house. Once one Of
the girls in the house teasingly asked
him If he was in love, and he flushed
and left the room.
Aylette, to, all appearances, was
making no better progress in his eff
forts to win the love of Miss Entrekin.
and he departed for Richmond for a
fortnight's vacation without receiving
one sign of encouragement.

Then, suddenly, there began to come

tiers overlooking with tenderness, love,
and passion; love letters such as swept
the hearts of her grandmothers by
storm-flowery. imaginative, beautiful
love letters, such as girls read and re-
read in the privacy of their own rooms
and grandmothers kiss when they find
them hidden in the bottoms of old
trunks. The letters were from Walter
Aylette, and they revealed to Molly
Entrekin a depth Of feeling, Of power
and passion, of love and tenderness
and yearning that she had never sus-
pected existed in the man. She was
astonished.
Three of the letters, which have been
made semi-public by the events that
followed, have been circulated among
her friends-before The real truth was
known.
The first came the day Walter Ay-
lette reached Richmond.
"My Dear Miss Entrekin: love
you. I have said it; the words that
have trembled on my lips since that
first evening that saw you. when my
heart fell down and worshiped you.

perhaps you never will see. Would that

so unworthy, to let them plead for me.

New York City.-Dear Old Pardner in
Crime: have more trouble trying to
do the right thing than any boy you ever
saw. When lie to keep dad from be-
ing pulled by the police of foreign
country, seem to be all right, and then
dad will tell me to always be truthful;
and when l tell the truth, and dad gets
in trouble by my doing SO. then he wants
to kick me. Every boy ought to have q
conscience that will prevent him from
doing wrong, not one Of these vaccil-
lating consciences that have to have an
alarm clock to tell it when to work prop

tective, which never sleeps, or like pills.

your conscience so it will keep time

On the way over from Havana. dad
had several talks with me about turning
over new leaves, and he said now that
we are about to land in our own country.
let us be honest, and tell the truth.
said l would try it, but maybe it would
kill me, and then dad concealed about
his person all the things he intended to
smuggle without paying duty, and then
he put on pious look, just like a minis
ter who is on his return from vacation,
and we stood on deck as We came up
from Sandy Hook, looked at the statue
of Liberty and swelled up; looked at the
Stars and Stripes flying, and wept, and
acted like fools. Dad was pussier than
ever, with over 40 yards of lace wound
around his stummick under his shirt
and a lot of kid gloves tied under his
arms, and more things than you could
count, and when the revenue officers
boarded the ship dad broke out in per-
spiration, which was SO noticeable that
the inspectors piped him OF at once.
and when he saw that they suspected
