fusei-and then II Just occurred to
her that she didn't know John Phil
FPS address. But he was In bank,
he had told her, and the name wasn't
a common one. No doubt she could
find him by inquiring.
The noise and hustle OF Forty-sec-
ond street confused her still more.
But she bravely approached a tall
policeman.
Sir" she said, show can find q
man named John Philip Guthrie?"
The tall policeman let his vlgilant
gaze rest upon her.

"Yes. He's in a bank"

Aunt Caroline told herself that this
J. p. Guthrie might not be her John
Philip. She suddenly realized that
New York was a great city-a city
In which names could be duplicated
many times
She reached the second corner and
hesitated. What would she do? Per-
haps she had better see this ]. p.
Guthrie. He would know II there
was another of the same name in
town. At least so 1t seemed to Aunt
Caroline.
There was a fine looking policeman
close at hand. She turned to him.
"Yes's," he said, al. P. Guthrie
lives on this avenue just beyond Sew
entieth. Better take an auto-bus.
Here's one now"
But she gave a look at the crunch
ing and rumbling monster and shook
her gray head. She would rather
walk.
Aunt Caroline had no idea how far
1t was. And the avenue was so won
derful with it's homes and churches
and the swift traffic along the road
way, that she didn't notice the dis
lance. Still, she was pretty tired
when the great park was reached and
glad when the messenger boy pointed
out the Guthrie home to her.
Aunt Caroline hesitated.
Then she went up the marble steps
bravely.
1t was a beautiful four-story house
although she noted that the lot
was rather small-and Aunt Caroline
paused on the top step to look at the
richly carved doorway.
Then the door suddenly opened and
a pleasant faced man In a livery
looked at her inquiringly.

somewhat TREMENDOUSLY asked.

1t is foolish to try to string n girl

after my fathers aunt. She lives way
up in Vermont I'm the quaint old viii
lage where my father was born. She
was very good to my father when he
was a boy. He was an orphan and
she was mother and everything to
him. He goes TO see her when he can
find time-and next summer he has
promised to take me there and let me
stay for week or two. He's going
to surprise his aunt, you see, be-
cause she doesn't know there is an
other Gasoline. Father said he
wouldn't have given me the name IL
he han't hoped 1 would try to grow
up as kind and good as his aunt. 3"
The girl paused suddenly and stared
at the stranger. "Why, you are cry
ingi" she said.
Before Aunt Caroline could reply
to this charge the girl suddenly dart
ed into the hall. There was a sound
of an opening door, a murmured con-
versation, and a voice said: I'm
here?"
Then John Philip stepped into the
room. He was a little more careworn,
little more bent, little grayer, and
the business suit he wore had seen
much better days.
His visitor put down the silver tray
and ores.
well, John Philip" she said.
He sprang forward.
Aunt Caroline!" he shouted, and
caught her hands in his and kissed
her on both cheeks. did you drop
from an airship?" he demanded
NO." she answered. 81 walked a
good part Of the way. The fact is,
John Philip, I came on business. I've
sold the farm and I'm rich woman
now. And you remember the money
you've sent me from time to time?
Well, it all amounts-with the inter-
est figured to date-to $1127.35."
She drew something from the shop
ping bag. Here's the bank book,
and if you need it. John Philip, you re
welcome to every penny Of it,"
He put the book back in the bag
very gently.

told her, "that 1 am not in any need

denly laughed.

He only laughed.
Have you seen little Gardiner"
he asked. well, little Caroline is
going to take you to your room-and
then we will have dinner. After din
ner we are going to inaugurate the
time of your life by starting in with a
grand opera and a moonlight automo-
bile ride"
Aunt Caroline paused in the door
way with one arm clasped about the
slim waist of the girl. Her bright
eyes took in the many evidences OF
taste and wealth.

"I'd trust him with every cent I've

Very good. We will submit the
bonds to his judgment. I'm a little
pressed for time, madam. Will you
meet me at the bank in just an hour?
Will search the records and have
the papers ready for signing. Good

Good day" Aunt Caroline family
echoed.
When she came back from the
bank that memorable morning she
dropped into the old rocking chair
that had been I'm the Guthrie family

She had never lacked for life's ne

The Lord He Served.

Judge George e. Lawton, of the
Middlesex Probate Court, told me a
story the other day OF an American
minister who was spending his sab
batical year travelling abroad. Ar
irving in London, he made every
effort to get an intimate view of the
two branches of Parliament In ses-
sion. OF course no stranger is al
lowed on the floor of the House of
Lords, but the minister not knowing
this, and with the usual amount of
American push. tried to make his way
in. There is a rule, however. that
servants of the various lords may be
admitted to speak to their masters.
Seeing the minister walking boldly in,
the dOorkeeper asked:
What lord do you server"
what lord?" repeated the aston
ished American, "the Lord jehovah"
For a moment the doorkeeper hest
