The smell of blossoming grapes
greeted Catherine Hoyt as she crossed
Walnut street that evening, and for
years afterward. whenever she smelled
grape flowers, she saw Laurence Pear
sons face as it appeared as he passed
her-the face of a man with a knife
in his heart.
Young Pearson's marriage to Theo
Kearney, the prettiest girl in Kearney
vile, was set for the 10th of June. Why
was he not wearing a joyous counte-
nance?

care-free, joyous thing-and Laurence
had promptly fallen in love with Theo.
while Catherine had as promptly lost
her heart to him.
Then. in six months, despite the op-
position of her parents, who desired a
rich match for their girl. Theo was
engaged to the handsome young clerk,
and Catherine. with a heart ceaselessly
aching, was just where she was when
Laurence had first handed her out the
felt loves awakening.
The old cousin with whom Catherine
lived, a hopeless paralytic, owned her
home. but there was only GATHERINGS s
work as post office clerk to keep them.
When Catherine came home on the
second evening after she had met
Laurence Pearson with the blank look
of misery upon him she found gar
rulous caller with her cousin. A few
evenings before, she narrated, Laurence
Pearson had started from the First
Bank with 100 twenty-dollar gold
pieces in his coat pocket. to deliver the
money to the other bank of the town.
When he reached the bank the money
was gone.

money" went on the visitor. Hes

body but him and them bank fellers
knows the truth as to whether they
turned him off or not, but. anyway,
he's under cloud from now on"
The truth was, the bank officials had
first discussed the affair in wonder
and privacy, then had reluctantly
agreed to let the young man go from
their employ

shortly to be married to young wom-

Give me time and I'll replace the
