Mrs. Boynton smiled. Come and
look!" she whispered. There is always
humming birds nest in our lilac.
How did you remember"
The two women approached the
bush. and Mrs. Boynton carefully part
ed the leaves TO show the dainty NOR
sci OF home matched with soft gray
green and lined with down. The birds
have flown now" she said. They were
like little Jewels when they darted Off
in the sunshine"
Her voice was faint and sweet. as II
IT came from far away. and her eyes
looked not as If they were seeing you.
but seeing something through you.
Her pale hair was turned back from
her paler face. where the veins show
ed like blue rivers. and her smile was
like the flitting of moonbeam. She
was standing very close to Waitstill,
closer than she had been TO any wom-
an for many years, and she studied her
little. wistfully yet courteously, as
if her attention was attracted by some
thing fresh and winning. She looked
at the color ebbing and flowing in the
girls cheeks, Mt her brows and lashes,
at her neck as white as swansdown.

zling details of Lois Boynton's CONVEX
sation, wondering whether the perplex-
tiles that vexed her mind were real or

the affection that the older woman
seemed instinctively to feel for her.

She heard her father lock the barn
and shed and knew that he would be
going upstairs Immediately, so she
quickly went through the side yard
and lifted the latch of the kitchen
door. 1t was fastened. She went to
the front door. and that, too. was bolt
ed. although it had been standing open
all the evening SO that If breeze
should spring up 1t might blow through
the house. Her father supposed. of
course. that she was IN bed. and she
dreaded to bring him downstairs for
fear of his anger. Still there was no
help for it, and she raped smartly at
the side door. There was no answer.

Mrs LaChance has had charge of the money order department of the Bisbee office for several years, with exception of a short interval recently during which she occupies a responsible position in the Rank of Bisbee, surrendering this after few months, however. to return to the more congenial post office work. Mrs. LaChanoe has a great many friends in the city who sincerely regret her intended depart. ure, but at the same time rejoice in the fact that it represents an ah- yancement for her in her chosen line of work and also carries her to a very desirably located city.
