they knew she thought about her
Dream Man. At the boarding house
it was just the same. There was one
single man and half a dozen girls be-
sides the married people. The half
dozen girls were in love with the man,
and ne knew 1t. It stckened Muriel
to see how he measured his power and
gloried In it. She thought that some
girls were great fools. but then, doubt

Man like hers:
She hao found him in a book. Muriel
lived among books. She had been
born the daughter OF a village min
lister, and one of her first memories
was of building houses of books on
the study floor. From handling them
she came to read them. Her father
was a man of culture and he made a
companion of his little daughter. He
taught her far more than sshe had
ever learned at the village school. and
those hopes were not to be realized.
for he died suddenly with nothing
more than his library to leave to his
motheriess ha daughter: ter; M, Mariel s was was

turn her knowledge of books to good
account. In the city there was a GER
long patronized. The old man who
owned it was very well known to her
father. She went to him and asked
for a position, and he gave it to her
readily. So for more than two years
now Muriel had been earning her living
by day and improving her knowledge
in the long evenings when she was
alone.
She loved to read and because this
seemed rather an unusual quality even
in a bookstore clerk Mr.. Peets allowed
her to take home new books to read
evenings and Sundays. Once the covers
of a book were open Muriel forgot her
self and launched forth on wonder

and sometimes too warm, and always
uncomfortably crowded, ceased to be
Objectionable. She walked in palaces
or through marvellous streets; she met
charming people. she loved. sorrowed,
rejoiced and triumphed alternately.
Poetry, essays, travel, romance-she
loved them all, and many a book was
, sold because she could stimulate the
interest Of curiosity of a would be
buyer.
1t was on a Sunday. afternoon that
she discovered the Dream Man. She
sat on her bed in the hall room, with
her feet under her and blanket about
her trying to keep warm. The single
