Mrs. Mal1ock looked at her thought
fully.
my DEAR" she said, "the city's a
hard place for the poor young girl.
You're smart and you're winning, and
you see how hard it is to get along.
And you haven't anyone to give you
any pleasure; it's been a dull time
for you. Your friends were very
lucky
''But they weren't!" Annabel burst
forth passionately. "That's the worst
of it. I met Ada one day. She was
elegantly dressed, but she wasn't hap
py; she told me so. She married an
old man for his money, and she was
miserable His folks were unkind to
her, and he was jealous, and she had
tired of it ALL 'Annabel,' she said,
my happiest days were in Greenfield
Then"
"The other girl?"
"Yes"-Annabel's head dropped
"I saw her, too She was we'll dres-
sed, too, and wore a lot of jewelry
and her face was painted. She sings
on the stage now. She didn't recog-
nize me, and I'm glad of it since I've
heard -that-well, you under
stand, Mrs Mallock. Her friends
could not be my friends; they are
not like the people we used to know"
my DEAR" said Mrs Mallock, with
a kindly glance at the detected little
figure, "Why don't you go back?"
Annabel sprang up with startled
eyes and flushing cheeks.
Back to Greenfield? Oh, no, no,
I can't do that! He wouldn't for
give me; he may have forgotten by
this time, and there's no one else.
But he was good to me, and [ could
have had a nice little home; and T.
I didn't know then how much I cared.
I'll show you his picture"
And for the first time since she
had left Greenfield, other eyes than
Annabe1's rested on the pictured face
of Linwe11 Hoyt.
A frank, handsome face it was, with
firm, unshaded lips, kindly eyes, and
thick masses of dark hair tossed
back from broad forehead.
cts a fine face" commented Mrs.
Ma11ock. "Annabe1, I'd like to sco1d
you.'
"Don't,' said Annabe1, with some
thing like sob.
She put the picture away, bathed
her face and smoothed her hair.
''I'm going out to answer that ad-
vertisement," she said.
While fastening the belt of the blue
skirt around her waist, she gave a
little exclamation
ooh, you've forgotten the pocketp
"No, I didn't; put it in the last
thing. Here-whyY- the woman
began to laugh heartily. "Annabe1, I
put it on the wrong side"

"But it's so awkward I don't
know what possessed putting a
pocket on that side. TIL change it

"It's all right" Annabe1 protested.

sigh, ct expected it when the rush

Annabe1 did not answer, and the
woman looked at her keenly.
'You're looking peaked" she said.

your eyes are getting back in your

and cook about fifteen seconds. Turn
over and cook the same length Of time
on the other side. Lift out carefully
and place on a heated platter. Proceed
in this way until all the egs necessary
are fried. (The same amount Of oil will
cook eight or ten.) Mix together a tea
spoonful Of salt and half a teaspOonful
OF pepper. season the eggs and serve.
BE careful not TO cook the eggs too
long The time specified is quite enough.
Fried eggs with bacon are cooked in
the same way. Cook the bacon first
