Evelyn's house, at the foot Of her

Back Broken, Walks.

Waldorf Miller of New Rochelle, N.
Y, who contrary to the prediction Of
physicians, has lived for nearly IS
months with a broken back, cele-
brated his Christmas by going out for
his first walk in the streets since July
3, 1911, when he received the injury
while driving. His case had received
30 much publicity that victims OF SIM
liar accidents in all parts of the coun.
try sent him letters, to which he re-
piled with Christmas greetings. A
neighbor prepared an unusual present

closure placed her in an altogether
new light. His mother told him then
that she had always loved him; freed
by the approach of death from the
conventional silence that is laid upon
women, she revealed the little secret
that the younger woman had confided
to her. Kane was deeply touched.
The day after the funeral he asked
Evelyn to marry him. And when she
laid her head upon his shoulder and
began to cry softly, from sheer happi-
ness, Kane suddenly discovered the
world of love in his own heart.
Il thought you loved Marston," he
said.
Il never cared for Marston," she
answered, looking at him with won.
derful light in her eyes.
So the gossips had wronged her,
then, when they had announced her
approaching engagement to his fellow
clerk, the man who now came for
ward so smoothly to congratulate him
upon his forthcoming marriage to the
woman whom he himself had courted
unsuccessfully for three years.
She had been all but in love with
Marston, though; so much Kane
learned from little Benny, the small
brother whom Evelyn adored and pet
ted and scolded and played with and
instructed during her evenings. Yes,
and Marston had loved her desperate

knew, and who had the effrontery to

were drawn, stopped suddenly as he
saw Marston's face upon the blind,

weeks, and since he had nearly four
hundred dollars and his prospects IN
the bank were small, 1t had been
agreed that they should go west in
the hope of achieving success. Al
that moment Kane had two tickets for

brief letter to Evelyn. explaining that

Marston had left the town, the old
love surged up In his heart again and
the old impulse drew him against his
will toward the little house where
Evelyn still lived.
AS he stood by the gate tall boy
suddenly came In from the street, saw
him, stopped short, and accosted him
"Mr. Kane!" he exclaimed.
