LOVERS STILL
BY LEHIGH A. MEEKTON

Notwithstanding the replies to his
leading questions Chidleigh could not
hivest himself OF the feeling thar the
lady was Adele Smith. Going t" the
hotel register. he hunted up the name.
but not finding a recent arrival OF
Smiths he asked the clerk for informa-
ton. and he showed him the name.
Mrs. Turnlee and daughter" This
COMPOUNDED the investigator. but he
would not give it up that the daughter
was Del Smith.
However. Chidleigh found associa-
ton with Miss TurnIee more and more
pleasant every day. He took her and
her mother out ia his car every day
that the mother would go and when
she declined his invitation he took the
daughter.
One day when they We're driving
| alone together they left the a and
sat on a dune overlooking the ocean.
Chidleigh felt that they We're drawn
nearer together from the fact that they
were far from any one else and the
expanse of sky and water above and
before them We're so vast.
You remind me. he said to her. "of

The only objection to Mr.. Chidleigh'S
gong To the country was that he was
too old to join in with the young per

know what to ho with himself. He
wa forty-two years Old. However. he
made nr his mind to get q sniff OF sea

Of the window and ten inches deep at
the outer side. where it meets the side

When curtains and valance have been
