new economies or new deprivations
in her daily living. Then, because
he could not discover any such, he
worried all the more: ii she had lost
that money, she ought to economic
certainly. Could she be so foolish
as to carry her desire for secrecy
to so absurd length as to live just
exactly as before when she really
could not afford it?
II was at about this time that Mr.
Smith requested to have hot water
brought to his room morning and
night, for which service he insisted
in spite of Miss Maggie's remon-
strances, on paying s. week extra.
There came a strange man to call
one day. He was a member of the
Boston law firm. Mr.. Smith found
out that much, but no more. Miss
Maggie was almost hysterical after
his visit. She talked very fast and
laughed a good deal at supper that
night; yet her eyes were full of tears
nearly all the time, as Mr.. Smith did
not fail to preceive.
"And | suppose she thinks she's
hiding il from me--that her heart is

agely to himself. as he watched Miss
Maggie's nervous efforts to avoid
meeting his eyes. II VOW I'll have il

Mr.. Smith did not have it out"
with Miss Maggie the following day,
however. Something entirely outside
OF himself sent his thoughts into a
new channel.

room. and was idling over his work,
at his table in the corner, when Mrs.
Hattie Blaisdell opened the door and

He seated himself just in front Of the
pair and glanced across the aisle at Mr..
Graves, to find the latter looking In
tently at him.
"Pretty tough night" he remarked,
nodding.
"Yes," replied the lawyer briefly. He
did not encourage conversation with
casual acquaintance. The latest ar
rival had caught his attention because
there was something familiar about
him. He must have seen him before.
Conversation across the aisle was
brisk, and it's subjects were many and
varied. Mr.. Graves became aware,
more or less against his viii, that the
person called "cap'n" was, If not a
leader in politics and local affairs, still
one whose opinions counted. Some of
those opinions as given were pointed

The conductor laughed. "Guess
you're right" he said. This is about
as wet a storm as I've run through
since I've been on the road"
The brakeman swung open the door
to shout: 'Denboro! Denboro!' The
conductor picked up his Lantern ard

tied hoarsely, and the train hiccuped
alongside another little station. Mr..
Graves, peering through his window
imagined that here the silhcaettes on
the platform moved more briskly.
They seemed almost excited. He in.
ferred that Denboro was bigger and
more wide awake village than Ostable
But he was mistaken. The reason
for the excitement was made plain by
