When Uncle, WfIf>came back from
the West at forty-f1ve, with a wad of
money, we were delighted that he
should think of spending the winter
in the old. homestead, where he had
not put in an appearance for ten
years.
''But what gets me-" he said, els
the way you folks here quarrel.
Seems to me as though you hadn't
any time to do anything else, and
liked it,
I flushed. eff you are referring to
George Bailey, uncle" l began.
Lydia" answered Uncle Will, eff
you talk sassy like that you won't get
any more candy from me. What do
I care about George Bailey? He isn't
half good enough for you, and Pm
glad you had falling out
'tHe isl" 1 cried Indignantly. Hes
the finest boy in Surbiton." And then
Uncle Will gave me one of his mad
dening smiles and walked away.
It was true enough what he had
said, though. We did have trouble in
Surbiton. 1t was what you call a
spinsters' village and everybody said
I was a fool to let George go. But
he Inundated me so, dancing with
red-headed Miss Florence Smith
twice that night and only giving me
eleven dances. And we had just be-
come engaged, too.
Uncle Will was Surbiton man.
They said in his young days he had
been engaged to Miss Barrett, the
school teacher. If he had, nobody
was the wiser. He and Miss Barrett
greeted each other just as calmly as
though they had always been ac-
quaintances. and there had never been
anything else between them. And
what puzzled me was how Uncle Will
could want to put in so long time
at Surbiton, instead of making for the

Ian, see if the coast is Clear, quickly!
He was still in a panic, for there yet
remained a chance of discovery and
ruin. One more instant of suspense
then the two stepped out. The door
closed softly behind them, and they
strolled around the corner of the north

happened so quickly that even yet they
were dazed and disbelieving.

Kirk moved through the crowd as
if in trance, but he was beginning to
realize the truth now. 1t surged over
him in great waves of gladness. He
longed to shout his news aloud. What
