through the open window, one ray Of
the setting sun threw a shaft of light
across the room. 1t fell on Mrs.
Dale's upturned face, and, for a mo-
ment, Miss Barbara held her breath.
For in the girls place she saw her
lover, as he looked long years ago.
eyes, have heard story like that
before" she said, in tremulous tones;
perhaps l know Miss Babs. And, If
it is the same, she loves him now, as
then. She may be a trump, my dear,
and sour-for life is hard to the lone
ly-but if she can give him the love
he Graves, if he can give her the joy a
! father robbed her Of, would you still
wish them apart?"
Margaret dropped her burning face.
mo, perhaps not. If it were love,
such love as that l know. But can it
be? She is old and rusty, perhaps"
"His love will rub hers bright.
Once she was young, like you. Could
your love die? What is your fathers
name?"
"Carrol Lyle. Colonel Carol Lyle. 4"
The drumming at Miss Barbara's s
heart quickened, and the hot blood
hissed and boiled within her brain.
She seemed to hear the clash of thun-
der, and stood one more in the tree
shadowed lane, his arms around her,
his lips on hers.
|
The next day, after her lunch, Miss
Barbara climbed into her attic. Here,
as elsewhere in the cottage, not a
speck of dust was to be seen. not a
sign of disorder.
Miss Barbara opened an old oak
trunk, and bent over its contents with
smile. Gently she raised soft folds
of white drapery, and shook out a
dainty muslin gown. Pure and SIM
| pie, it seemed ready for immediate
use.
Then, ere she turned aside, she
drew out a packet of weather-worn
letters. From them there fell the
miniature of young man-the man
she had thought faithless to her long
years ago. Glad tears sprang to her
eyes as she gazed into his, then she
raised it to her lips and kissed it ten
derly.
When Marion, the maid who had
grown old with her mistress, carried
the tea into the little parlor, she
stopped short on the threshold with a
cry.
Miss Babs, you have gone back
thirty years!" she gasped, setting
down the tray and staring at Miss
Barbara open mouthed, for in the
middle of the room stood her mistress
clad In white girlish gown, a blue

cheeks, but for your white hair I'd
say you're eighteen again. I'd"
"And so l am, Marion, for he, Car
rol, is coming back to me-" whispered
Miss Barbara.
Marion threw up her hands and
fled to her kitchen.
Lord help her!" she sobbed.
She's daft! Thinks herself young
again and talks of him, her faithless
lover, May the Lord help poor wom-
en- who eat their hearts away, and
drown all men in the tears they make
them shedl" she added vindictively,
rocking herself to and fro in her
great despair.
Meanwhile in the parlor, Miss Bar
bara drank her tea with longing
glances at the steep, white road lead
ing past the windows to the house up
on the hill.
And Margarets parting words rang
in her straining ears:
"You must dine with us tomorrow.
III send father for you, and you'll be
able to tell him about Miss Babs."
AS she repeated the sentence to
herself for about the thirtieth time, a
quick step sounded on the path out
side, and she rose palpitating.
The next instant a tall, weather.
beaten man stood on the threshold, a
man with short, crisp, silvery curls,
and eyes like the blue of heaven.
And as these same eyes fell on the
little trembling figure before him, a
great joy sprang into them, and with
a loud cry of 'Babs! My little Babs
at last!" he took the no longer lonely
Miss Barbara to his heart.

Miss Barbara smoothed out the
folds of her dress with trembling fing-
ers and averted eyes.
Does he love her very much?" she
quavered.
Hes mad to find her. Yes, he
loved her and she loved him, but her
father wosldn't allow them to be
married, and she hadn't the strength
to go against his will. In those days
girls feared their fathers, strange to
tell! So father said goodbye, and
went away, intending to return later
and ask for her again, but he heard
that she was married, and why,
how pale you are! Do you feel ill?"
she exclaimed, springing forward, So
licitude upon her face.

well, as a man mustn't remain
faithful to another mans wife, father
married also. My mother died two
years ago, and father retired then.
Soon after we came to Ohio, and he
heard that his first love had never
married. 1t was her wicked old faith
er who had spread the lie. So now
father is looking for her."
A long silence succeeded her words.
Miss Barbara sat stiff and straight in
her chair, one bright spot on either
cheek. She dared not move, for the
room seemed swimming around, and
hundreds of eyes, the blue of heaven,
looked at her from every corner.
Through a fog came Margaret's
laughing voice:
"And of course she'll be trump
a sour old thing! All, if she could
only be like you!"
Twilight descended upon the house,

Then, for moment, she stood
