ter Page literally and then, cap In
hand. went up the shell-strewn path
to greet the little lady on the front
steps.
Mrs. Fame was small like Dorothy,
with sunny disposition-she had
Drown eyes like Agatha-dimples like
Ethel-an enchanting smile like Beth
and her own lovely snow-white hair.
She wore pretty pink cotton dress
that made Captain Brooks decide in a
moment that pink was the prettiest
color that ever was for young la
dies!
1T is such a relief to know that
you are going to be just like Bob"
sighed Mrs. Fame as they sat down to
an old-fashioned country "tea."
IL hope you will like me as much
as you do Bob" observed the captain
as he reveled in delicious strawberry
shortcake and cream.
THAT Will be so easy!" exclaimed
Ethel, for the married daughters were
all there that night. The captain join
ed In the laugh that followed and when
his passing glance paused on Mrs.
Fane's flushed, mirthful face, he felt
a funny little twinge around his heart
he wondered little breathlessly II
he had been reckless about the short
cake
He felt It again later in the evening
while Dorothy and her sisters cleared
away the table and washed the dishes.
Mrs. Fame took him into the pretty
little parlOr with Its treasures from
the sea that was so near, and its
pieces Of old-fashioned furniture that
brought memories Of his happy boy
hood. There was an old tinkling pi-
ano there, and she sang to him in a
sweet low voice the old songs they
both loved and that belonged to
more tranquil decade.
The old songs and the sweetness
Of the crowded garden-roses and
china pinks. mignonette and day lilies
then the quiet little chat with Dor
othy's mother; and afterward, a night
spent In the slat-walled best room Of
the cottage-with pictures Of all the
girls smiling ut him from all ages of
develOpment-roses tossed against his
window screens by mischievous Dor
othy with an invitation to breakfast,
proved the beginning Of delightful
visit.
The following week was a repetition
Of the first day, and the captain lin
gered, loath to go; then, B0b's desper-
ate letter complaining Of loneliness,
clamorIng for news of Dorothy, sent
the captain to hastily scribbling let
ter-time was precious these last few
days-which he sent by special deliv-
cry. His eyes twinkled as he wrote:
"Dear Bobby: Coming home next
week. Mollie (Mrs. Fane) and I will
be married In August, and shall spend
next winter in California-that will be
nice for you and Dorothy If you should |
be there then! Lovingly, Dad. +. s.
