She was born 10 years ago and

About three years ago the family

secured position with the tele-
phone company as operator on
the Gallup exchange, where she
was a capable and valued employe.
Her serious illness was of short

for her recovery were entertained.
She had asked frequently for her
uncle, Oscar Jaenson of this city,

she was in a very cheerful and
hopeful condition, but soon after

fered relapse and the news Of her
death preceded him to this city.

old bachelor, who, with the excep-
ton of housekeeper. lived alone
in a great weather-beaten old man
sion on the river road. He lived
very secluded kind Of life, was
seldom seen upon the streets of the
town, and attracted very little atten-
ton when he was seen. There were
hardly ten people il the place that
knew the man or anything concerning
his life.
Yet there had been a time in the
life of Perry Fanchion when he had
attracted great deal of attention,
and won the sympathy and pity of
the whole town. That had been over
forty years ago, and in the meantime
the town had changed from village
into a city. The old families had died
out and the younger generation had
forgotten the history of Perry Fan
chion.

terly cold. Sleet and snow drove with
incessant fury against the great French
windows. The heavy old oak doors
ratified and shook, while the wind
shrilled mournfully among the many
old-fashioned gables and chimneys.
Perry sat gazing into the fire. His
hair was snow-white, his eyes were
dark, and tonight they had tragic
gloomy look.
