Fifteen minutes earlier she repaired
to the old tree that had been to them
a favorite trysting place.
Ned came spinning along on his
bicycle, not moment late, fine
specimen of healthy, buoyant
young man interested and happy in
his work. He swung coil of wire
and his tool bag to the road and was
over the fence in joyous leap.
Dear gi1l!" he said fondly, and
then started at Hetty in alarm, for
she was weeping.
Bit by bit the miserable story came
cut. He consoled her, he reiterated
his love. He said nothing OF revenge,
elopement or Encouragement.
Little lady" he observed in his
hopeful sanguine way, "all right! If l
can't see you, can keep on loving
you, can't I?'
Yes, yes murmured Hetty bro
kenly, "but I shan't hear-those low
ing words. Why, not to have you tell
me now you think of me every day"
But you shall" announced Ned
definitely. You have agreed not to
write to me. Don't. You have prom
ised not to meet me- Keep your
word. I'll arrange all that, but-trust
me to break down this wall of preju-
dice. Oceans shan't part us. In the
meantime, until things settle down

Ned drew from his coat pocket one
of the tools he used in putting IN
wires. He waved it buoyantly.
"Yonder,' he said, pointing to the
barb wire fence, is a conductor right
at hand. I'll connect up half mile
down the road with Farmer Moore's
house line. The feeder will go up
there and he pointed among the
branches of the old apple tree.
"Oh, Ned cried Hetty, clasping
her hands in ecstasy, "you-you don't
mean
That / am going to put tele-
phone especially for you up in that
tree. Why, every evening w, can talk
over the line for hours, if We want to" ;"
You darling" cxu5erated Hetty
breathlessly. 'Oh. how fortunate it
IS that you kno" all about tels-
hnnes!''

thunderous tone, crushing out the
fcndest of human hopes, immovable
as rock.
His pretty niece, Hetty, covered her
face with her hands and broke down
utterly in a storm Of tears.
"Cruel-cruel!" she sobbed.
"And last meeting with this gay
gallivanting young man-understand"
pursued her callous-souled relative.
You are breaking my heart!
moaned Hetty, and really believing it.
'I. isn't because Ned Monroe is
after your little fortune, as most
young fellows are nowadays
"What-what is it, then?" faltered
poor Hetty.
Its because he's an electrical
maniac. Ruh-telephone! Who
heard of such a thing in my young
days? Gossip-breeders, l call EN-!
Worse than that-catering to laziness.

Anticipated, narrow-minded Simon

Redfern. He hated all innovations,
especially a telephone. There was a
reason. Simon had bargained too

'rIEeo IN lew moments.
Jay Dickson, wandering restlessly
in the little garden, could not rid
his mind Of that lovely face which had
lain against his shoulder 1t was a
pale, spirituelle face, framed in rich,
red hair that grew low on her fore
head. The lashes that lay on her
creamy cheek were thick and dark
and curling. What color were her
eyes?
What allied him, anyway? he asked
himself fercely. Never before had he
cared about the color of women's
eyes!
The doctor came down and spoke to
him.
Her arm is broken" he said.
Its her working arm" shifted

right hand for many weeks won't help

q am Jay Dickson, the owner OF
these cottages. I came down to see
Mrs. Dow" explained Jay, feeling un-
reasonably elated because his divinity
was the Widow Dow-and free!
Strangely contented at the outcome
of affairs, this most Impractical OF
landlords proceeded to visit his other
tenants in the row, and with them
planned to make such Improvements
in the cottages and grounds as would
justify O. change in the name of the
place.
In the course of time it was trans
formed into Rose Terrace, and it was
due to the good taste of the Widow
Dow, who acted as jays adviser IN
the matter of Improvements. During
her convalescence the Widow Dow
went to drive in Jays big automobile,
while Amada sat, mountain Of
swelling pride, in the tonneau.
Green, the agent, was pleasantly
shocked to receive generous check
when his employer was married. He
never really knew what it was for,
but Jay explained to his lovely bride:
"If it hadn't been for Green's COM
planning letter I'd never have gone
down to see the Widow Dow-and
some other chap might have won her
first"
But the widow only laughed in her
delightful way.
There couldn't possibly have been
any other chap" she said, "for there
is only one you, you know
And Jay Dickson was supremely
contented with this very lucid ex'
planation.

ABOUT WIDOW DOW
By cLARlCE GAINES.

Copyright. 1915, by the Mcclure News
paper Syndicate.)
Jay Dickson frowned over the let
ter from the manager of his houses IN
Dorilton. The houses had been an
inheritance from his Uncle PeterDy
and the income from the half dozen
little cottages had been an addition
to his income. Of course, the prop
erty was sadly out of repair and a
great deal Of money had been spent
upon it, still the agent had made
many complaints about dissatisfied
tenants
Jay reread the letter.
About this Widow Dow said the
agent, she lives in the last cottage
at the very edge of the woods, and
she says that some of the trees should
be cut down because the shade makes
her place damp. I tell you she ought
not to make complaints when she is
behind with her rent
"Pshaw!' muttered Jay, thrustlng
the letter into his pocket. I'll run
down there myself and have it out
with Mrs. Dow"
The next day, quite unknown to
Agent Green. Jay Dickson alighted
from the train at the Dorilton sta
ton and took short cut through the
woods to reach his property.
He was not prepared for the huge
black woman who waddled across the
garden with a heavy foot. Her woelly
hair was tied up in snowy turban
and her white gown was immaculate.
Are you Mrs. Dow?' asked Jay.
The woman looked at him shrewdly
II am Amada Dow" she admitted
"Mr. Green wrote to me about you,
Mrs. Dow; he said you wanted some
trees cut down. 1 will see him about
the matter"
Jay, puzzled at finding his agent
had rented one of the cottages to
other than white people, pursued his
way through the street toward the
agent S OllCS. Neal LIS oColl1Ae@StoAA
he was just in time to snatch young
woman from under the wheels of a
racing automobile.
AS it was, they were both flung
against the curbstone, and the young
woman lay pale and white against
Jays arm.
"Ill show you" volunteered a
woman, and she led the way toward
Jays row of cottages.
She passed them all until she came
to the last one, the abode of the
Widow Dow.
Il will go inside with you The
doctor is on his way now" she said,
as she opened the gate.
