CHAPTER xxx.


Life, always colorless at Christmas
Cove, except in midsummer, now be-
came changed for Aunt Abby. For all
the years since her one girlish ro-
nance had ended, she had been a pa
tient helpmate to a man she merely
respected. Religion had been her chief
solace. The annual visit to her Sis
ter's gave the only relief to this mo-
tionless life, monotonous as the tides
sweeping in and out of the cove; but
now commencement slowly flowed
into il.
Chip, of course, with her winsome
eyes and grateful ways, was it's main
spring, and so checkered had been her
career and SO humiliating all her past
experiences, that now, escaped from
dependence and feeling herself val
ued companion, she tasted a new and
joyous life. So true was this, that
hard lessons at school, the regularity
of church-going, and the unvarying
tenor Of it all seemed less by COM
parison.
Another undercurrent, aside from
Chips devotion, also swept into Aunt
Abby's feelings,-the strange emotions
following the knowledge that her for
mer lover was still alive. For many
years she had waited and hoped for
this sailor boys return; then her heart
had grown silent, as hope slowly
ebbed, and then, almost forgetfulness
but not quite, however, for the long,
lily-dotted mill-pond just above had
now and then been visited by them.
A certain curiously grown oak which
was secluded near its upper end was
once trysting-place, and even the old
mill with it's splashing wheel held
memories.
And now after 40 years, during
which she had become gray-haired and
slightly wrinkled, all these memories
returned like ghosts of long ago. No
word or hint of them fell from her lips,
not even to Chip, who was now near
est to her; and yet had that girl been
a mind-reader, she would have seen
that Aunt Abby's persistent interest in
all she had to tell about Old Cy meant
something. Where he was now, how
soon he would learn that his brother
was still alive after all these years,
was the one most pertinent subject
oft discussed.
How Chip felt toward him, not alone
fo- the heritage he had secured for
her, but for other and more valued
heart interests, need not be specified.
He had seemed almost a father to her
at the lake. He was the first OF her
new-found friends whose feelings had
warmed toward her, and Chip was now
mature enough TO value these bless
ings at their true worth.
A certain mutual expectancy now
entered the lives of Chip and Aunt
Abby. Nothing could be done. how
ever. Old Cy had gone out into the
wide, wide world, as it were, searching
for the little girl he loved. No man.
ner Of reaching him seemed possible;
and yet, some day, he must learn
what would bring him to them as fast
as steam could fetch him.
"Jknow that he loved me as his own
child there at the lake" Chip said
once in an exultant tone. His goip4
after me proves it; and once be hears
