with a step as light and free as ever.
The wind had met her at the forest 3

lily again. As Arthur watched her,
the old music came back into his
heart: his eyes sparkled. and all his
soul seemed to be dancing IN time with
her light motion. Thus 1t went until
she came TO a place where the path
must hide her from his view The
young man held his breath. and when
she turned a cry OF JOY escaped him;
she saw him and waved her hand 20

For a moment afterward he stood

And he started through the forest as
wildly as any mailman, now mutter-

aloud and making the forest echo
with Helen's name. When he stopped
again he was Tar away from the path,
in a dcsolate spot. but though he Was

hope; Il was realized orlg for the first

Helen had an aunt upon her mothers

no means Inclined TO view with this
complacency OF Mr.. Davis the idyIliC

Mrs. Roberts, or Aunt Polly" as she
was known TO the family. had plans
OF her own concerning the future OF
the beauty which she saw unfolding
itself at the Oakdale parsonage, She
said nothing 10 Mr.. Davis. for he, be.
ing busy with theological works and
charitable organizations, was not con
sidered a man from Whom one Nigh,

with her own more practical husband
she had frequently discussed the dan
ger and the possible methods OF ward

To send Helen to a boarding school
would have been OF no use, for the
vacations were the times OF danger,
50 it was that the trip abroad was
finally decided upon. Aunt Polly. hav-
ing Travelled herself, had a wholesome
regard for German culture, believing
that music and things Of that sort
were paying investments. II CHANGED,
also, that her own eldest daughter,
who was a year older than Helen, was
about through with all that American
teachers had TO impart, and so after
much argument with Mr.. Davis II was
finally arranged that she and Helen
should study in Germany together.
Just when Door Arthur was returning
home with the sublime title Of junior

IL would not be easy 10 find; but
nevertheless. people spoke OF no less
han TWO T)manCes that had been con-

had been his early marriage. which
had created a mild sensation, while
the other had come into his life even
sooner-in fact. on the very first day
or his arrival at Oakdale.
Mt Davis could still bring back 10
his mind with perfect clearness the
first night he had spent in the little
wooden cottage which he had hired
for his residence, how while busily
unpacking his trunk and trying 70
bring the disordered place into shape
he had opened the door in answer to a
knock and beheld a young girl, surely
not yet out of her teens. her pale and
sunken face showing marks Of refine
ment and OF former beauty. She car
ried IN her arms a child Of about
years age, and she dropped II upOn

alluded to was made, for the woman
had disappeared IN The darkness and

upon the soft.
It was not altogether a pleasant
romance. as is probably the case with
a good many romances in reality.
Mr.. Davis was destined 70 retain for
a long time a vivid recollection Of the
first night which he spent in alternate
