In few minutes they reached the
house and Aunt Mary flew to meet
them.
"Lucy's coming, and the Lowe girls
and their brother, and the Grays, too,
dear. You children must be tired to
death-you've been gone so long.
There's tea waiting for you in the Ii
brary, so run along and I'll tell Susan
about the dessert before it's too late"
Glover slipped off her coat and hat
and sank down on the big davenport
in front of the fire. Gordon followed
suit and sighed contentedly.
This is the nicests day I've had in
four years" he told her honestly. And
I'm not at. all sure that it isn't the
best one I've ever had. either!"
You're a most polite and flatter-
ing person." scoffed Glover, as she
Struggled cozily down among a nest
of sofa cushions.

it-don't you believe me-"
81 don't know-I'ye known you such
a little time"
Does it seem like such little while
to you?"
mo, it doesn't--oh don't know"
she stumbled and concentrated her
gaze upon the fire. 81 think I'd bet
ter go and change for supper" she
began nervously, seeming danger in
the air.
But he caught her hand and nearly
wrecked tea table in his attemp to
keep her with him.
I'm most terribly in earnest; won't
you listen to me, Glover? OF course
l haven't known you long, but love
you'll can't help it. Havt4 any

would the ghost of a chance salts
fly you?" leased Clover; but her eyes
were sparkling under their long lash

whispered almost inaudfbly.
After that she didn't say anything
for a long, long time.
What will Aunt Mary say?" he
asked her at last.

dear children-how are you?"
why, aunt Lucy, never expected
to see you here-'why didn't YOU tell

why didn't you tell me you did, in

address and pretending you'd never

he took slip of paper from his pocB.
ct and handed it to Glover. On II was
written her own name and address,.
And ! never opened it until this
minute" he whispered In her ear.

to assure him and in spite of herself
the color flooded her face under his
steady, earnest gaze.
Aunt Mary gave him the necessary
directions about trains and stations,
and with a few words of farewell he
was gone.
Hes a nice boy, Clover" declared
Aunt Mary. "I'd like to show Lucy
Terry that her nephew is not the only
man in uniform who has distinguished
himself, too-I'm beginning to think
he's too perfect"
Glover laughed affectionately. She
understood her aunt and the dear, gen.
tie heart that ached because she had
no one of her own to come back from
the other side after the war was over.
Two days later Glover dressed her
self in a most becoming gown and
went to meet the 1910 train from
town. Suppose he shouldn't come as-
ter all? she asked herself fearfully.
But he was the first person off the
train, and the heavy package under

box of candy for-Aunt Mary. Who

PLY.
They fell into easy conversation and
Glover felt more at home with him
than any one she had ever known.
They drove home by the longest road
too. Aunt Mary was delighted with
him, and the candy was the last straw
in his favor. Lucy's Incompatible
nephew began to drop a few more de-
grees in her estimation.
In the afternoon, while Aunt Mary
took her daily siesta, Glover and the
captain went for brisk walk. It was
showing a little outdoors and the air
was delightfully."- cold and crisp. They
must have walked several miles and
on the way home Glover found it diff
cult to keep up with the long, regular
strides that had weathered many long
hikes. At turn in the road she stun
bled over dead branch and fell on
her knees before Gordon could catch
her. In a second he lifted her to her
feet, however, but did not instantly
release her. For a moment she felt
his rough overcoat against her cheek.
I'm SO sorry, little girl-I'm afraid
I'm no account at all as an escort"
His arm was still very decidedly sup

were veterans of the fighting on the
