mother and her promise to George
To her a promise was sacred.
Unfortunately, just at this critical
time George was away. and her uncle,
with whom she lived, never noticed
anything. and so this child went daily
into the woods to meet the fascinating
stranger.
At first he spoke only in generali-
ties. but day by day he grew more
personal until at last he asked:
when are you going to become my
bride?"
The girl raised her startled eyes.
Never" she said with trembling lips.
Never? Then you have been play.

have been making a mock of me-" he
cried.

She cast down her eyes and thought
of George-poor, honest, laundering

clumsy clothes.

were commanding. Look at me.

"You are my affinity and In you

but to me you belong by right of the

voice was soft and low and the young
girl gazed spellbound at him, drinking
in every word.
How tame and lifeless were George
Hamson's utterances. "Phridgia, you
know like you awfully, and l want
you to marry me as soon as l get my
farm paid for; won't you?'
She had promised then, six months

blue eyes was on her finger now, but
that was before she had met this

Orion Of windfall.

What precisely is the origin Of the
expression "a windfall' which Mr..
Asquith. Lord Avebury and others use,
each with an application OF his own,
in speaking Of budget matters? An
old encyclopedia explains that some
families Of the English nobility held
their land on tenure which forbade
them to cut down trees. these being
reserved as the property Of the royal
navy. But any tree which fell down
without human assistance they might
keep. 80 that hurricane causing a
great ''windfal" was heartily welcome.
1T seems probable. however, that the
expression was simpler in origin.
Even an apple that fell to the ground
without the trouble OF picking It, and
which passerby might often annex
without feeling that he was tn. Il,
would be 9 lucky "windfall. 81 london
