she concluded @but it's all gospel truth.
There was little tension in the silence
after that. She looked at John, saw to her
establishment that there were tears swim
ming in his blue eyes, saw him swallow
hard and try to speak, but only open and
shut his big hands instead. And then long,
unevenly indrawn breath that ended sharply
in sob, from Pamela, drew her eyes round
to her.

But John had got to his feet now, and he
had his voice in control again. 1--WE can
never get through thanking you as long as
we live" he said.
II don't understand"
"Don't you remember the Englishwo-
mans name?" he asked "Could you re-
member it if 1 told it to you? I'd hardly
expect you to remember me-
@You!" she exclaimed, and then she shut
her eyes. "Stanfeld it was, Mrs. Henry
Stanfeld."
3You see," said John, ave found we re-
membered each other, and there were some
other things that came into it too. We've
couldn't be sure we weren't brother and Sis

He walked round the end of the bench
and took Pamela's hand in his.
The older woman stood looking at them,
smiling little wryly, but with new soft
ness in her eyes. II see" she said, 3you poor
babes in the woods. That was what you
wanted of Hiram. And l could have told
you all about it on the train the day you
came to Edmonton!' The wistful look deep
ened in her eyes, though she went on snil-
ing. Il suppose, if l hadn't happened to
come along and tell you, the world might
just about as well have come to an end this
afternoon"
Eyes" said Pamela. ave were talking
about that when you drove up"
Mrs. Ashley shook her head at them in
mock despair. aAnd now that | have told
you, suppose you'll go off and get married
instead, and live happily ever after, as the
story books say
@Yes,' said John.
"You dear, foolish children she cried.
And added. "And I'm just enough of an
old fool to believe you're really going to do
it. Anyway, III always like to remember
YOU
1--WE won't let you off with that-with
just remembering said Pamela. you're
going to be one of our friends, aren't

The older woman drew back little, with
a short, decisive shake of the head. THAT
wouldn't work. she said crisply. "You
people are one sort, and Ashley and are
the other. 1t hasn't hurt us to reach across
the line for minute, and it won't hurt to
remember each other kindly. But we
couldn't really mix. You couldn't be like
me- And L" She looked at them again
and smiled, and again shook her head. ave

"We've compromised. He is going to be
better-well, little more respectable, and
I'm not going to make so much fuss. And
we're going to save our money, and when
we've enough we're going to retire, and buy
a farm and raise squads for the market"
She held out simultaneous hands to the
two of them. "Goodby and good luck! I'm
going over here now to have look at

She paused, and slow smile broadened

her lips. "And it may be" she concluded,
"that before I'm through l shall happen to
see Hiram"
John and Pamela walked away together,
not arm in arm. nor holding hands, not
touching each other at all, and saying hardly
anything. From appearances they might
have been the placidest pair of commonplace
acquaintance that ever strolled village
street. But the earth might have rocked
under their feet without their knowing it.
They walked in world of their own, and
just now they wanted it silent. 1t might
have been the lea6est, loveliest lane in Ar
cady. 1t happened to be the main street of
Edmonton, Ohio, with its shops and saloons
and nickelodeon or two running full blast
with steam pianos out in front. 1t was all
one to John and Pamela.
How long they'd have gone on like that
it is impossible to say, if they hadn't hap
pened to go by the hardware store But
they did, and the little canoe out in front
caught their attention.
3Look!" said Pamela "This is the one
told you about. Isn't it darling1"
John thought it was.
aCouldn't we buy it now. John, and 60
out on the river in it, just as | said? Only
not be drowned afterward."
EYES," said John. 1--WE can do it. Only
there's something else I'd like to do first"
Pamela looked puzzled. Something
else?"
@John flushed and stammered little, as
he pulled a paper out of his pocket. II got
this when l was waiting for you this morn

Will you-marry me today, PAMELA"
@Of course" said Pamela. aid forgotten
all about that, forgotten we had to. II
mean," and now she flushed little, and
stammered too, Il mean that w-when l
knew we could, f-felt as if we had already"
"You darling!" said John.
TT was nearly dark when the canoe drifted
under the last of the bridges and left the
struggling outskirts Of the city behind. In
the bow was slowed just what equipment
an hours gleeful shopping up and down the
main street had procured for them,-a little
tent, couple of mackintoshes, some cook
ing and fishing things, and a few provisions
John sat in the stern with paddle. From
the bank you couldn't have seen Pamela;
but she was there, curled up in the bottom
of the canoe at Johns feet
He laid his paddle crosswise and filled his
black pipe from a little bag. "Do you hap
pen to know what the name of this river is?"
he asked
NO." said Pamela.
"Or where it goes?"
mo-" said Pamela. @Does it matter?"
He lighted the pipe and drew in great
deep breath of it, then shook his head "Not
a bit" he said. Because the Island of the
Blest is somewhere out in the middle of it.
And we'll 60 ashore sometimes, and put up
our tent, and spend day there thousand
years long"
@John," said Pamela awhile later, show
long do you suppose it's been raining?"
II don't know. | didn't know it had be-
gun. Does it matter? Will you be cold?"
@Not bit. John, do you remember that
other time-in the rain?"
He bent over and kissed her wet face.

WHEN l was a youngster my grand

had cholera on the ship and about half the
crew died of it, and they put into some port,
forget the name of it, IN Borneo, and were
quarantined there. And he jumped over
board and swan ashore. Probably when
the Captain wrote up the log he forgot who'd
died and who hadn't. And that's how the
report got home. Of course Peter Darvel
made the most of it. l remember that my
self.
swell, we talked and talked most of the
way to Chicago. | told him why I'd run
away, and remember his saying that, after
all, it was his fault; at least, that if he was
to GO back to Edmonton and let people see
him the joke wouldn't be on me any more,
but on Hiram. Anyway, we agreed not to
tell. And then he told me that he had made
his fortune, and | said was going to make
mine on the stage. He asked me if I'd plenty
of money, and offered to help me. l wouldn't
let him. | was young then and ambitious
and all that.
anyway, we were very friendly. He
spent the next morning with me, helping me
find a boarding house. Then he disappeared
for few days"
RUT," said Pamela, ahow did you know
= about little Jane, about her not being
drowned?" ="
am coming to that" said Mrs. Ashley.
@He came back about a week later, came to
the boarding house about half past six one
morning He'd just come over from some
where in Michigan on the night boat. And
he had little Jane with him. He said he'd
stolen her."
@You-you're sure it was little Jane?'
Pamela asked.

was born? Of course it was little Jane.
He didn't quite know how to get away
with her. Said he didn't know how much
of pursuit there'd be, since of course old
Peter would suspect it was he that had taken
her, and would be only too anxious that he
shouldn't be caught. But he didn't want
to take any chances. That's why he came
to the boarding house, instead of going to
hotel. Of course a man knocking about
alone with little child like that would be
sure to attract attention. He wanted to get
out of the country with her as soon as he
could, to Europe, somewhere. But he was
afraid to try to take her himself"
John and Pamela were looking at her
with all their eyes. They didn't dare look
at each other yet.
you've told us-almost enough" said
John unevenly, when she made little
pause there. "But can't you tell us just a
little more? Do you know if he did find
someone to take her to Europe for him?"
Mrs. Ashley nodded Eyes. l can tell
you all about it. There was an English
woman rig It there in the boarding house,
she and her little boy She'd married an
American, and he'd died out West some
where, and she started back to England.
And then she lost all her money. 1t was
stolen from her when she got to Chicago.
She wouldn't write home for more. She
was proud, guess, and perhaps her people
were poor too. So she stayed right there
and went to work, and was trying to save
UP enough to go on with. So he agreed to
pay her expenses back if she would take
little lane with her. / don't know how that
story would sound from the witness box"
