sevaraI minutes had elapsed when he returned T could not find Mir. Will Hams but here is the one who has been with him all the aftalnoon and can tell you of his whereabouts" he said.
 "Y.s. I've zen with MT. Williams for the last few hours,' said the new conner, and I know he left to go to the depot to meet you. You see he IS 6 special friend of mine and I happen to know he came up from Enabem to be with you. He missed you In the crowd, of course. Would you like to go down, anything is better than sit- ting here. We will have to find him, for he will think you never came. and will be terribly disappointed If he doesn't see you"
 Just across from the station they stopped. ..... .:s ! to rem ain at this hotel while I run across and see if can find anything of Bill" he said. However, If I shouldn't see him I tell you what I will do-he will catch his train back to Enabem sure, as long as he thinks you didn't come-and I promise you he shall not get away then"
 While they were killing time he told her he had known her through "BiIi." He had seen her calendar photograph hanging in his office and had fallen in love with it at first Somehow 1t made her suspicious. It did not seem just right for him to be talking so to her It did not seem he was true to his friend.
 Tt is time for the train, now. isn't it." she asked. And pulling out his watch he saw that the train had gone. When she was alone she gave away. Dear Nanny" she said-she had all ways called on nanny in her pray, CTS. It seemed she could understand better than anybody else, even you would not approve of me now" as the tears rolled down her cheeks. I've been fool-just a fool, and I under stand little better now, why this old world would have us do as it says. I thought 1t was hard and cruel in trying to teach me to distrust all mankind, and follow only the strictest rules of , conventionalism. 1t was just trying to be kind. To think I did all of this to
 show my appreciation of man, and I'm just a goose"
 She had been at home several months when one day the doorbell rang. She answered it herself to find of all men the one she least expected @
 You here" she stammered, you of all men?'
 ,Nes. I'm here" he said, not in the , least ruffied, and as if offering some business proposition, I've come to take you home with me: I told you I would be in New Orleans inside of six months; had you no Idea why I was coming. Did you think because I missed you in Union City and had not written I did not appreciate the confidence you put in me-did you have any idea I would let you go thus? Life is not worth much without you, sweet, that is why came"
 Could this be after all the one she thought unworthy to be called gen tlemanT
 Surely I'm dreaming"-his voice sounded so sweet and far away
 If you loved me. why. then, did you not write? Why have I been left to suffer believing you were only playing with me?i
 ITO test your love. dcarcst--to see if you really cared. You were SO cold and distant to me when last we met; it seemed impossible you did care. I have since learned to think maybe you do. My friend told mo al! just the other day, and I have come now-is it true?"
 "Ycs. 'tis so. she answered "I do care. You will never know how much. Only a woman knows a woman's heart. and even were you to stand before me d villain I should still love you-'tis a woman's way.
