The summer sun, warm and sensation

the salt breeze was as heavy on the eyes
as peoples. The world drowsed, the
beach and my house were too warm and
still and lethargic for action, and my eye
lids closed despite my best intentions.

bringing up, his unacquaintance with
tho advantage of large wealth, made
him strangely Indifferent to it. 1t was
only when he saw how tagged and
worn out Helena was by her unremit-
ding labors that a realization came to
him of what the hundreds Of thou
sands Of dollars piled up In a bank
to his account would mean, If he
pleased to make use of them.

asked.
81 came because there is dear old
dad and sweet invalid mother to be
helped. Riches, you know, have
queer way sometimes Of taking wings

That's what my fathers Inheritance

asked.
because $4,000 is not to be picked
up by the roadside"
That's not much money" the queer
young mountaineer said. Your father
could borrow that much. The place
would soon pay off that amount II it
were properly handled"
Perhaps. But father is old, and
no, will have to keep on teaching.
It's not disagreeable work"
A strong compassion came into
Langdon's eyes as he looked into Hell
ena's courageous proud face, which
was followed by an expression of dis
tress as he noticed that she was thin
ner and paler. The long winter was
over and spring. with its splendors of
forest bloom, had come, and Helena
sighed for the ending Of her Difficult
ties. 1t seemed to her that James
Langdon's absence-he announced one
night that for business reasons he
would be absent for several weeks
had intensified them. In short while
the pretty schoolhouse in the heart
of the mountains would be closed. The
day before Helena was to go down the
mountains the postman brought her 6
