along the little winding path which led
from the old farmhouse to the open
fields where she had been gathering
blueberries to. bring home foy break
fast.
Helen made a pretty picture as she
walked along the sun-fecked lane this
early summer morning in her crisp
Bingham frock with the basketful Of
luscious berries swinging carelessly on
her arm. Her mind dwelt pleasantly
On the festivities to take place that
afternoon at the largest house OF the
village.
The Rawsdons, but recent inhabit-
ants of the little town of Banfeld,
were to give a lawn party in honor Of
heir nephew, Philip, who was shortly

ing a stranger to the young people of
the town. al therefore awaited with
keen interest by them.
Absorbed by her own thoughts
Helen did not hear the clatter Of an ~
preaching horse, until. rounding a
curve In the road, she found herself
directly In Its path and had but scarce
time to step quickly to one side, but
alas and alack In her excitement Helen
dropped the precious basket and the
ripe berries rolled out directly beneath
the horses hoofs. Helen gave a little
cry of dlsmay, the rider drew rein,
and Helen glancing up was surprised
10 meet the merry Eyes of q handsome
young officer. Saluting her politely,
he said Il cannot tell you how sorry

your basket. / did not expect to meet
anyone so early and so I was riding
carelessly In the middle Of the road,
Instead of keeping to one side" Helen
smiled brightly and pointed out that
fortunately some Of the berries were
still In the basket, and picking 1t up
she nodded smiling and walked on.
A sudden thought struck the young
officer and turning around he called
after her: 81 hope we shall meet at the
lawn fete my aunt Is giving this after
noon, as I understand all the
young people of Banfeld and their eld-
ers are to be present" Yes. indeed, I
be there" she answered, "ane I
doubtless see you, as / have been
