Of the most enjoyable I've ever known.
And when Daddy Hiram called the

During a Woodworking interval OF
two weeks number Of things had
happened. One was q visit from the
desperadoish-iOoking ANGLICAN who
had impressed me with the fact that
he belonged to the Ancient and Honor
able Order Of the Silver Star. I'll have
to tell about that visit, because 1t
proved what tremendously lucky
thing it was for me that had fallen
among friends.
1t was this way. On the second day

girl.
She wasn't beautiful In any show
girl meaning of the word; she was
something far better-piquant, charm
ing. A round little face. wind-tanned
to a tint as delicious as the blush In
the heart Of an apple-blossom, a jolly
bit Of a nose, tip-tilted enough to be-
speak healthy sense of humor,
mouth neither too large nor too small
upheld by firm, round chin, and tho
chin upheld by an extra firm little jaw.
AS she had admitted, her eyes were
blue-the blue that shades into violet
and they were weil-set; wide apart
and perfectly fearless; the kind of
eyes fit to match the straight lined
brows that usually 90 with them.
I sat before the cheerful blaze,
chuckling quietly to myself over the
mad adventures of the day and their
highly romantic, not to say miraculous,
outcome. Beyond all manner Of doubt
I had stumbled upon the three talis-
mans of Cousin Percy's cryptic letter.
BY the most marvellous Of accidents
I had discovered the girl, the horse
and the dog; and, If the remainder Of
Percy's letter were to be taken at
Its face value, l should now be In
touch with my legacy.
AS to the character of that legacy,
there could be no further question.
Grandfather Jasper had left me a
mine; and l was fully prepared to
find 1t the drowned mine Of Bullerton's
story. What l might be able to make
Of 1t was matter which could well
be postponed to another day. Just as
reached this postpOning conclusion,
the girls father came in, drew up q
chair on the opposite side of the
hearth, and began to make me well
come in a mild-mannered way, saying
that they didn't have much company,
and were always master" glad to see
new face. He did not ask me any
troublesome questions; and. beyond
telling me his name, which was Hiram
Twombly, did not volunteer any in
formation about himself or his dnugh-
ter, nor did he explain how they came
to be living In so much comparative
comfort in such an out-of-the-way
place.
A little lateS the girl returned to
set the table, and presently we had
