Mary was heart broken. To disobey
her aunt never entered her head. She
had owed everything to Miss Aman-
da, who was the dominating spirit of
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

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
herself looking into the face of her
youthful sweetheart, Robert.
'You are Mr.. Lester?" the old wo-
man asked, pressing one hand
against her throbbing heart.
Eyes, and you must be Miss Aman-
d." answered the young man. my
father often used to speak of you"
Come in" said Miss Amanda,
grimly. ''Take a seat in theparlor."

bought by outside parties and new
orchards set out upon them. In one
instance a farm that was not bring
ing any income was purchased by
city man and about 1900 trees were
set out and the orchard now Is con-
sidered one of the best in Maine. An
insurance man bought 30 acres of land
that was cutting very small crop
of hay and he set the entire piece to
fruit trees and he now considers that
though the orchard has not come into
bearing yet, it is worth $4,000.
