the car swooped down upon white
house nestled among the trees.
Murray helped him carry his belong
ings into the big airy bedroom and
then returned to town. with curious
smile lighting his face.
The place proved ideal for Orville's
purpose. The farmer and his wife
were quiet people, little given to
speech. They never disturbed him
when he was at work even to the ex-
tent Of summoning him to a meal.
When hunger drove him from his work,
no matter what the hour might be,
food was prepared without an objec-
ton. A beautiful winding river with
jncurving shores swept through the
farm, and here at eve Dick Oryille was
wont to repair for inspiration. Uns
der these blissful conditions his ideas
developed and unfolded charmlngly.
Then there came the inevitable ending.
II am sorry" faltered his landlady
one morning, "but Hiram went to the
postofflce today, and he found q letter
from a young lady in the city. She Is
an artist and wants to come here to
paint and to be alone"

"You see, the letter was written week

to the contrary she'd come today. But

Before he could politely decline this
prefer Mrs. Glidden began to read the
letter, which was girlishiy written. She
said that she longed for place where
she could be quiet, some place that was
remote from neighbors. where she
could paint and dream at will; that
friend In passing the Glidden farm had
thought it would be just the kind Of
place she craved and had written her
about It.
Some of OrFille's irritation vanished
upon hearing the letter There was a
note Of appeal In 1t, reflection Of his
own mood, that touched him.
"She evidently Graves solitude as

books and things down to the little

He proceeded to carry out this plan
and remained in his new quarters the

came to the farmhouse for something
to eat.

Kathie's eyes were downcast The
