CHAPTER xxIII.
The Promise Kept.

Alfred came downstairs to Mrs. Har.
mons spacious parlor. 1t lacked some
minutes OF the dinner hour. and he
Noped for a coy chat before the Judge
came in. At least. he felt sure of the
few minutes Il took the Judge to
scramble. grumbling. into his detested
evening clothes.
Mrs. Harmon entered, a stately,
white.haired woman In creamy, SHIN
mering satin. whose merry eyes be-
lied the somewhat stern mouth.
Alfred" She was beside him in
front OF the fire before he was aware
of her presence. How good II is TO
see youl oh. but you're changed"
She looked him over critically. yet in
a breath. You have acquired tan, a
few-just a few-lincs, and a business
face. II is all becoming, though. the
tan. the lines, and-and the business
face" she added hesitatingly, You're
a trifie stouter. aren't you?"
Yes. | am"
That's good. You were too thin.
How sorry / am to have been away
when you arrived! II was so inhos
pitable."
IT'S very good TO be here. to sec
you after this long time. And don't

1T is like home, even to the hello

He glanced swiftly around the quiet
room. bringing his eyes again TO hel
calm face. He felt welcomed, warmed
his heart lighter. This beautiful home
was like his own, ample, refined; and
It's genius stood on a pedestal beside
the memory OF his mother.
"Flattering of Toy" Mrs. Harmon

This friend. n thin and nervous

"Oh. no, DOCTOR" the patient re-
piled.
Well" said the physician. "just
keep a pitcher OF milk and some bis
cult beside you, and every night. the
