Over the Way,
Copyright. 1918. by W. Werner,

Melissa Owens couldn't remember

was being erected. No it was not then.
She had watched its progress with al
most childish delight

little hug and laugh for his ignorance.
AS the building went on she became
more and more excited. After the car
penters had gone at night she and Mr..
Owens fell into habit of going over
the big new house with the two small
Owenses toddling at their heels And
her delight in the progression of the
work could not have been greater had
she been ordained to move into it, bag
and baggage. upon its completion. In
the course OF time the Owens family
found themselves locked out of the en-
chanting place. Mrs. Owens bewailed
the fact as they walked back to their
small cottage.
