= -RRIyED at Phillips apart

N hurried into an inner room.
4 4 Methodically he took cushions
from the couch and pillows from the
bed and piled them In corner; then
he sat down against them with the
suit case between bis knees.
Meanwhile Phillip, In the apartment
which had been turned into an Office
for him, entered bis record of the
days business on fling cards and upon
a huge diagram sheet, then wrote a
long and careful letter. after which he
took pencil and paper from a drawer
in his desk and delved into numerous
books Of statistics.
1t was nearing 8 o'clock when boy
brought in two letters. One OF them.
In heavy. cream tinted envelope and
slightly fragrant, he opened and read
through with frown. A postscript at
the end. however, brought smile to
his face, and he stepped into the adj
joining apartment. Sans eyes were
closed. but Phillip had no sooner set
foot in the room than he opened them.

address him.

said Phillip. Sans eyes glistened.
"She suttenly is the most mischiev.

life" he exploded. and he ended with
q shrill falsetto chuckle.

Sam bent over the suit case and
slapped his legs in paroxysm Of de-
light "Ah suttenly is a lady killeh,"
said he.

She led them into the little parlor.
which opened directly from the stoop.
In one corner was a music rack filed
with music. and though that corner
was filed with q big chair It seemed
conspicuously bare. To Phillip. who
knew the Whites 50 well, that space
told its own story. The payments on
the installment piano had not been
kept up!
Elsie called back across the dining
room to the Kitchen:
"Mr. Kelvin 10 here, mother"
A very much faded looking woman
| of forty.two or forty-three came In,
driving the backs Of her hands with her
palms.
"rm mighty glad to see you." she
said, shaking hands with him. and her
tired eyes grew a trifie brighter. MY.
how solid looking you've grown!
Seems to me you look as If you was
| hunting for somebody to contrary you.
You didn't use to look that way
when you boarded with us-did he,
Elsie?
Kelvin turned to Elsie, and in his
gaze Rensselaer, thought that he read
friendly admiration and nothing more.
His look had not that rapt eagerness
| of her gaze and never would have for
any woman. Rensselaer, found himself
deciding. He decided wrongly. Kel.
vim had found himself strongly drawn
to Elsie, but he sternly suppressed
| that tendency as quickly as he recog-
nized it in himself.
IT don't know" replied Elsie to her
| mothers question. There seems to be
some slight change. but to me he is
just the same old Phillip, whom I'm
glad to see again and hope to see
often"
II suppose you're married by this
time." suggested Mrs. White.
II have never stayed in one place
! long enough. to get married, except in
Tennessee and there I was too busy"
laughed Phillip.
"Elsie has never forgot you," Mrs.
White next observed. "She thinks
about you all the time, and she's been
talking about you ever since we moved
away"
The connection Of Mrs. Whites re-
marks was so absurdly palpable that
Rensselaer, could not help letting his
eyes twinkle, and Elsie. catching his
glance of amusement, laughed out

Elsie's heart. But she's KEEP track of

On the Nadoo creek, at Hukow, we
saw a novel way Of fishing Two
small boats were moving parallel with
each other about thirty feet apart.
The ends Of line about sixty feet
long to which small undated hooks
were attached about four inches apart
to two sticks were held respectively
by a man in each boat AS the boats
moved slowly along first one man and
then the other would give his stick a
Jerk. Immediately that the hooks
struck anything the line was gradu-
ally hauled in and invariably with
success. We saw fish struck four out
of five times, many Of them running
apparently from half a pound to two
or more pounds. 1t may be that Chi

where fish are caught with undated
