stood, watching him through her tear
stained lashes. She looked less beau

her Redeemed eyelids and her disor-

Miss Elsie listlessly. 1T ought to be
more, but the house is very old. and
that's what I'm advised to hold it for. :"
Dick thought hurriedly. He knew
that would mean about three thousand
cash and a mortgage. Dick was worth
about three thousand; he could ar
range the details.
I'll buy it, he announced.
"You!" gasped Miss Elsie.
Yes, ma'am You see, I've had my
eye on the place for a long time, in
the hopes you might some day sell.
The words struck her like blow be

Dick Sittingwell had mad plenty Of

somehow all his romances had come to

sanctuary, his holy of holes And
marriage with her was something OF
which he had never dreamed.
Their acquaintance had begun by
an accident. Dick, toiling up the hill
at Bourne End on a hot summer day
with his sample case in his hand, haC
seen the old maid standing at the gate
Of her garden. He looked up at thu
