TheLittle Brown House
CBy Louise Heilgers)

TT STOOD by itself on the slope Of
hill. A band Of pines Rugged it, the
\ little garden enclosed within the
white palisade was gay with orange
nasturtiums and scarlet geraniums,
hardy flowers that even the strong
sea wind could not blow the color from
From the garden gate a pebbly path
ran in an irregular curve down to the
shore, Neat white curtains Haunted
at the latticed windows. and the green
front door, winter and summer, stood
invitingly open.
A stranger passing might have Won
dered why it was that there came never
a sound Of life from within But the
inhabitants Of the little red-rOOfed VII
lsge nesting within the arm Of the
cliff knew why it was that from the
open door there came no more a WON
ans voice or children's laughter.
The man who lived in the little
brown house by himself was rarely
seen He never went out in the day
ume-seldOm at night The little pan
eled study with the window looking
out on the road that ran past the
house In the back, claimed him. The
view was far inferior to that obtained
from the front Of the house, but this
did not seem to trouble thim.
Often, as he sat at work in his study,
he would seem to be listening intently
for some sound to break the silence,
and often his eyes would wander from
the page upon which he was writing
to the empty road
Sometimes the buzz Of a bee floated
in, or the sharp rattle OF a cart, or the
swish Of g loud wave upon the shore.
Sometime he would see g man or wom-
an pass; sometimes in summer quite a
crowd with baskets on their arms, on
picnicking thought infant: their Hugh-
ter ringing gaily in the sunshine.
But he never heard the footsteps he
was listening for; he never saw the
face for which he lOnged.
MatrimOny is a cage from which II
is sometimes wise TO let the captured
bird escape, lest II beat its wings too
hard against the bars and die.

Short Story

The man, when he had seen his wife
rebelious and discontinued, when ne
had known her bored to distraction
with the quietness OF country HE,
when he had seen her fluttering her
wings against the white walls OF her
home had let her go. So she went
back to town and the gay life tnat
she loved She rarely wrote 10 hln'
except when she wanted money she
never came to see him. But II was
for her the door was always left open'
Tor her his heart always listened
Love is sometimes a white flower
which a man wears on his heart But
the love that is like a white flower
never bears the fruit the rosy oIosso{n
of passion does. This man, even m
his loneliest moments, never thought
harshly Of the woman who preferred
a town life to the country and TO MIN.
She was so pretty it was natural that
she should like to be admired Besides,
he was quite certain that there was no
other man in her life

the man.

The fortune which has just come to the lot of Miss ;Fayerweather has been in her family for years.

 For several years she has. had a suite of rooms in the apartment of Mrs. George Dukas. 96 Courtland street. Tn connection with her cou- sins trust fund she has come into a rich collection of furniture and fur nishings. These have been installed in an, apartment in Butler street where she will take up her residence on Monday. She plans to look about for a cosy little home which she will buy, and then when she is comfortably settled she will take time to make plans for travel She hopes to do Europe this winter
 ssPlease don't ask me to say any thing about it,'' said Miss Payer weather, today. "Of course I'm pleas ed at my good fortune, but it isn't a surprise to me. I've been expecting it for several years"
