nished with all tho conyeniences Of
fered by the relentless progress of our
day.
Little Simon had informed Agatha,
during their short drive, that Deacon
Stoddard had achieved this resi-
dence" shortly before his death; and
his tone implied that it YVES the pride
of the town, its real treasure. Even
to Agatha's absorbed and preoccupied
mind 1t presented a striking contrast
to the old red house, which had re-
ceived her 80 graciously into its spa
cious comfort. She marveled that
anything SO fresh and modish as the
house before her could have come into
being in the old town. 1t was next
10 certainty that there was model
laundry with set tubs beyond the
kitchen. and equally sure that no old
horsehair lounge subtly invited the
wearied traveller to rest.
A cool draft came through the
screen door Within, it was cleaner
than anything Agatha had ever seen.
The stair-rail gilstened, the polished
floors shone. A neat bouquet of sweet
peas stood exactly in the center of a
snow-white dolly. which was exactly
in the middle of a shiny, round table.
The very door-mat was brand new:
Agatha would never have thought of
wiping her shoes on It,
Agatha's ring was answered by .

when she saw stranger at the door.

! can't go in-I can't bear to see
him SO ILL.," she whispered; and as
Aieck looked at her before entering
the sick-room. he saw that her eyes
were filled with tears.
Agatha went hack to her couch, feel.
ing that the heavens had opened. Here
was friend come to her from she
knew not where, whose right 1t was
to assume responsibility for the sick
man. He was kind and good, and he
soved her rescuer with the boyish
devotion Of their school-days. He
would surely help; he would work
with her to keep death away. What.
ever love and professional skill could
do, should be done; there had been no
question as to that, OF course, from
the beginning. But here was some
one who would double, yes, more
than double her own efforts; some
one who was strong and we'll and
capable. Her heart was thankful.
Before Aleck returned from the
xick-room. Doctor Thayers step sound
ed on the stairs, followed by the
mildly complaining voice of Sallie
Kngsbury. Presently the two men
were in q low-voiced conference In
the hall. Agatha waited while they
talked, feeling grateful afresh that
Doctor Thayer's grim professional
wisdom was to be reinforced by Mr.
Van Camps resources. When the
doctor entered Agatha's room, her face
had almost the natural flush OF health
All. Miss Agatha Redmond'-the
doctor continued frequently to ad
dress her by her full name. half in
affectionate Difference and half with
some dry sense of humor peculiar to
himself-"M Miss Agatha Redmond, so

Doctor Thayer squared himself and
passed slowly up and down Agaths's
room. He did not reply at once. and
when he did. 1t was with one of 8
characteristic turns toward an ao-
parentiy irrelevant topic.

inquired. stopping by the side of
