So. when Mr.. Lindley announced
that he was going to take June on a
trip with him to visit a brother in

would be some really slivering days
far up near the Canadian border.
and that June would have to put I'D
with something less than scented

Two letters came from June and
Revere felt hopeful. She described

had aroused the artistic in her nature.
Then for over a month no further word
arrived, and Revere began Ia grow
anxious when he received letter from
Mr.. Lindley at San Francisco.
'If you have the time, and the in
clination," it read, you might join me
here and go to my brothers after June
with mey and enjoy a pleasant home
journey in our company" and Revere
speedily wired his prospective father
in.law that he would take the first
train for the West.
1t was at fashionable hotel in the
Golden City that Revere was welcomed
by Mr.. Lindley. There was an unfa-
miliar air Of activity about the father
OF his fancee that indicated that his
Western tour had put new vitality
into him. and Revere hoped the same
beneficial influence had exerted itself
In behalf of June.
