grandson here accompanied me to
England, recently, ostensibly as a
member OF the French military mis-
sion in the coronation; actually to ne
gotiate an important treaty between
England and France, in which three
foreign powers are vitality interested.
OF these powers were prepared to go
to all lengths to obtain a draft of the
treaty. To render it absolutely Sc
cure. my grandson kept only few
rough jottings OF the French govern
ment's proposals upon a piece of pa

Mary was heart broken. To disobey
her aunt never entered her head. She
had owed everything to Miss Aman-

the two; and she felt that, as long as
she lived, she would have to yield
her wishes to hers.
Ralph Lester, in the city, received
despairing little note from his fan
Gee the following day which he could
neither understand nor fathom. He
flung it away and buried himself in
his work. So time went by.
The two old ladies realized Mary's
sorrow. They did their best to cheer
her. But Mary grew thin and pale,
and they saw that it would be no easy
matter to make her forget
From timid Miss Dorothy the girl
learned the cause of Miss Amanda's
hostility. Miss Amanda had once
been engaged to Ralph's father, Rob
ert, who had been dead some years.
They were to have been married in a
few weeks. Then Robert Lester had
gone away and no letter had come
from him. And Miss Amanda, too
proud to ask him for an explanation,
had let him go.
A year went by. The summer va
cation season came again Mary did
not go away. She stayed at home
and brooded over the past.
And then, one afternoon, fair,
curly-haired young fellow rang the
bell at the old house door and Miss
Amanda, coming to open it, round

youthful sweetheart, Robert.
