Your faithful friend.
Arthur Eustace Henderson.
"Oh, Pamela" whispered Elizabeth
gleefully. ut is from your sweet
heart!"
But Pamela shook her head very
positively,
She was entirely In the dark as to
the identity Of Arthur EustacS Hen
derson. She had not single young
man acquaintance in the city, and was
quite free from the usual entangle-
ments of youth. Hardly more than a
child. her life had been hedged about
with peculiar carefulness. and until
this moment she had not met with the
tiniest whisper of romance.
1t seemed like an age before she was
free to hasten to the shabby little
apartment. so poor in its appoint
ments, so rich In its unpurchasable
atmosphere Of love.
Who Arthur Eustace Henderson was
indeed was mystery. The Aldersons
were acquainted with few people in
the city. He did not belong to the
church they attended; there was no
