He rose to walk about, found it irpracticable
and sat down.
"Thats what Dwight don't want me to tell

"Mother!" Lulu said, twisting her smile.
Why my land, love her. Mrs Bett ex-

Cornish never made the slightest effort, at
any time, to keep straight face. The honest
fellow now laughed oudly.
"Well.' Lulu thought "He can't be so
very much in love" And again she thought:
He doesn't know anything about the letter.

was not so.

NlNG awake sometime after midnight,
Lulu heard the telephone ring. She
A~ heard Dwights concerned "Is THAI
sou And his cheerful "Be right
there"
Grandma Gates was sick, she heard him tell
Ina. In few moments he ran down the
stairs. Next day they told how Dwight had
sat for hours that night holding Grandma
Gates so that her back would rest easily and
she could fight for her faint breath. The kind
fellow had only about two hours of sleep the
whole night long.
Next day there came message from that
woman who had brought up Dwight-'made
him what he was" he often complacently ac-
cused her. 1t a note postal card
she had often written a few lines on postal
card to say that she had sent the maple su-
gar, or could Ina get her some samples? Now
she wrote few lines on postal card to say
that she was going to die with cancer. Could
Dwight and Ina come to her while she was
still able to visit? If he was not too
busy.
And before they lef, Lulu said: Dwight
you can't tell how long you'll be gone?'
"Of course not. How should I tell?'
NO And that letter might come while

Lulu took it from the postoffice when she
went for the mail that evening, dressed in
