 refreshing drafts. There was
 rustic bench near at hand. He sa
 down to rest, appreciating the havel
 of peace about him. Then his glance
 fell upon the piled up heap of ricl
 cookery set to cool on the window sill
 Wish was a boy again." mur
 mured Ned. 'Tt makes me think O
 the old happy days" and then h'
 arose quickly from his careless atti
 tude of repose. Either the young
 lady was lonely or she had noted his
 ardent glance at the doughnuts. She
 came tripping towards him, plate ir
 her hand well loaded with the product
 of her labor.
 T thought maybe you would be obliging enough to test my first at tempt at doughnuts," she said quaint ly.
 "I am hungry enough" admitted Ned, in love with that bonny face twice as much as before.
 She stood near by as he devoured the first of her kindly offerings with a bright satisfied smile
 Well, what is the verdict" she challenged with teasing eyes.
 'More!" answered Ned gallantly. This must be the original land of milk and honey"
 'T was fustered, feared I might have spoiled them" said Eva Dodge with sigh of relief
 They will be spoiled quick enough if you are as liberal with others as my self," he responded and then Miss Dodge told of prospective barn dance with the accompaniments of dough nuts, cider and chicken sandwiches. She pouted anon as she looked at the sun and told of how her brother Alan should have reported two hours agone to help trim up the barn.
 Suppose I try 70 earn the most famous meal have enjoyed in a year by acting as his substitute" suggested Ned.
 They were like old acquaintances within an hour, she directing, he nail ing up wreaths and festoons of shrubs and flowers. And just as she had clapped her pretty pink palms in de light at the general effect, brother Alan appeared.
 Nothing would do but that the stranger must stay for the evening and for the night and when they learned that Ned played the violin they were more insistent than ever
 Ned felt as if he was leaving para disc as he departed from the Dodge home the next afternoon. He carried with him a memory of his charming hostess that he knew would be abid ing.
 It was probably an hour later wher he passed down a lane to notice ( large barn building with smoke pour ing from its lower story. In a trice the business instinct assailed him Any odd or picturesque scene was worth the money in the movies" He ran within the right focus and set his machine going Absorbed in getting | 1t in correct operation, he looked less at the burning building than to the details of operation.
 It will work in well in some good movies story" he told himself, and ran full reel, taking in the gathering crowd and the varied incidents of ex- citement in the episode.
 A month later when the film was produced, Ned chanced to see it. Then for the first time he observed that it's first scene showed a man in full view Ieaping from a window near the door, 3 burning piece of paper in his hand.
 There was an incendiary, then" he reflected, just as I heard 1t hinted Ah, me! how all this brings back that beautiful day in my life-pshaw! must forget that"
 But Ned could not forget. Eva-the name was on his lips in his dreams That sweet face fioated constantly through his mind. He had secured new and better work. He could af ord a weeks vacation. He resolved o ,see Eva, at least once more.
 Ned reached the Dodge home to find t in state of great commotion. All lands were anxious and troubled.
 Alan, the brother of Eva, had been of burning the barn Ned had taught with his camera.
 His pocket knife, 1t seemed, had )een Iound near the structure. Then co, its owner had quarreled with him md did not like him.
 Alan claimed he had loaned his knife o young fellow who worked for the wner of the barn, who had been beat. n by the farmer in a quarrel and ad afterward disappeared.
 Ned felt that he was going to be f some use when he got description f the missing man. It tallied to the ne shown in the fire film. Ned sent 0 the city for a duplicate. Half the own was at the motion picture play. ouse the night 1t was shown. Half he town recognized the one figure iD he foreground. You have saved my brother from isgrace," spoke Eva warmly to Ned How can I show my appreciation" aoN4 =
