AS Kathie Laurence was hurrying
down Commonwealth avenue, she
found a letter, stamped, and addressed
to Mr.. Page B. Cushman, Portland, Ne.
She inquired of the passers-by IL

They all answered mo-" so she de-
cided to mail it. All day long the name.
Page B. Cushman. kept running
through her head.
81 wonder If he is young. old. mar
xfed or single"
Then she wondered who had written
the letter, and If they were worrying.
'sIf I only knew she SID. Reading
the paper, these words caught her
eye: ''Lost-A letter addressed To
Page B. Cushman. Portland, Ne. Tsnd-
er please return to ]. G. p, care Bos-

Mercy, what shall I do?" She de-
cfded to write to J. C. B., and tell him
that she found the letter and had mall
ed 1t to the addressee. To think was
to act, with Kathie. She signed her
latter, K. w. L., that was all. but she
knew she had relieved the mind OF
]. c. B.
Mr.. Page B. Cushman received his
letter in due time, so ]. G. B. re-
ceived the answer from him, short
ly after his advertisement appeared
In the paper.
But ]. c. B. was crazy to know who
mad done him the kindness of mailing
the letter.
He was young and fond of adven-
rure, so put personal" in paper:
"Will K. w. L. please communicate
with ]. G. B., as same would Ike to
express thanks in person"
Mother" called Kathie, excitedly,
come herei"
'What ever Is the matterT asked
her mother, as she came hurrying In.
Listen" and Kathie read the per-
sonal. "Shall / tell him-or her-or 1t,
who / ann"
Certainly not" answered mother.
So J. G. B. remained in ignorance. In
the meantime Mr.. Page B. Cushman
came to Boston on business, met ].
G. B., and he told him the letter had
been lost.
Cushman became interested also in
the person who had had the good sense
to mail 1t.
Katherine went to Portland for q
party to which her college chum, Flea
nor Page, had invited her.
In their bedtime condolences she
related the story of the lost letter.
Eleanor chuekled at the name OF
the addressee. but said never WORD.
Eleanor was disappointed, she col
cluded. Everything was ready for tia
party. All was jolly and bright. Elet-
nor and Kathie awaited the coming Gf
the guests. They arrived, lively jolly
bunch of young people.
"Kathie," said Eleanor, when the
dance was over, meet my cousin, Mr..
Page B. Cushman." Kathie fairly
jumped, but acknowledged the intro
duction with smile.
She thought, what a fine looking
man. AS for Page, his heart gave a
big thump when he looked into two
beautiful brown eyes, uplifted to him.
They danced and their steps were
in perfect unison.
9 Ruring the evening Kathie said:
'Who is ]. G. B.2"
81. G. B.? L am sure 1 don't know"
answered Mr.. Cushman.
"You don'tT questioned Kathie;
that's strange" she added.
They danced and Kathie forgot her
curiosity as to the person of J. @. B.
Then Eleanor danced with her cousin
and said "Who is J. @. B., Page?"
For heavens sake Eleanor, who is
this mysterious ]. G. B.T'
"That's what want to know" re-
marked she with twinkle in her eye.
Miss Laurence also asked me the
same question"

"Well, why ask meT'
Because you must know; he Is q
friend Of yours"

"well, he wrote you letter and
lost it."
"Ohr'
"And Kathie found It."
The holidays over, Kathie went back
to Boston. Page was often In her
mind
Eleanor came up to Boston to shop
and stayed with Kathie.
They were driving down Washing
ton street in Kathie's car, when they
saw Page with big fellow like him

turned and saw Eleanor, and the girl
he knew now was the one girl for
