The cousins, who had ever disapprov-
ed Of the Julia and Walter espionage
over their mother, heartily concurred
IN the little conspiracy. The following
day brought a response to her letter
to the farm. They would be only too
happy to receive her, not as a summer
boarder, but as a guest. The next
train bore her to her old home. where
she planned to stay a few weeks and
live again the olden days in her mem
DRY and associations.
She gave a little cry Of pleasure as
they drove up to The NutsAbH, as Da-
vid had named It, Here time seemed
to have stood still. The vine covered
porch, the flower beds, the old apple
orchard and the little rustic seat in the
arbor were the same. She went over
the whole place. EveEy spot was re-
plete with beautiful memories. The
next morning she arose with a little
tremOr Of excitement running through
her veins.

light, delicate gown she was DOMINIC.
Her hair still waved softly back from
her brow with an occasional escaping
ring, as it had in her youth. Her
thoughts and hopes had brought a deli
cate pink flush to her cheeks.
After breakfast she went through
the meadows and down the lane to a
piece Of cool, dark woods that skirted
the river. Her heart beat almost pain
fully as she came nearer to her destt-
nation,

herself. "Of course no one viii be

one of the rails became dislodged and
rolled down, striking the trigger Of the
rifle and discharging IT, The bullet
struck him In the ankle and ranged UP

The ball was extracted by a surgeon
