 it was not a very bright smile. A close observer might have detected an undue redness about the blue eyes, as though there had been moisture there in considerable quantities. The girl walked to the registry win dow and passed the package through the opening The clerk, a dark haired young man, picked it up without look ing at the customer, inquiring briskly:
 "What's the Value?" He placed the package on the scales. "A million dollars"
 The young man let the package slip from the scales, but caught it before it went far.
 "Eh?" he enculated; as he replaced it on the counter. How much did you say it was worth?" And his eyes met those of the girl.
 "I said a million dollars" she re- turned. with q wry little smile. "The package is worth that ~much-tO me-"
 "Oh. hello, Ruth," he exclaimed, rec ognition showing in his glance. He extended d hand through the window, and she took it. her eyebrows lifted in surprise.
 Hello. Harold" was her response, her face flushing. "I didn't expect to see you back here. Where have you been?" :
 "Oh-arOund some" be said, and it seemed there was queer, eager look in his eyes. "West mOstly-dOwn the Columbia river with the salmon fishers a good deal. was up in Vancouver 8 year, too. Seriously. what is this pack age wOrth?'
 Her face became more flushed. She bit her lip.
 'I'm sure can't tell; probably sixty dollars"
 He began filling out a blank.
 "If it was a couple of years ago I'd say it might be a diamOnd,'' he Ob- served, "but you can't buy diamond now for sixty-at least, not a decent one" "It's a little one, and I've had it a." She caught herself and bit the lip again.
 "So it is a diamond! Excuse me, l none of my business, of course"
 When she handed him the package the address side had been down, but he had reversed it while weighing it and had inadvertently looked at the name. It had made no impression on his mind then, because he had not seen the girl; now he recalled it.
 xUOrJ6 iSnSt n remarked sympathetically and under standingly, as he tore off the stamps
 "Yes, it certainly is," and she could not suppress a sigh. ." .,.
 She lacked three cents of the neces- sary amount of change, so she gave him a ten-dOllar bill.
 Smallest I have" she explained apologetically. %.~
 He took the bill and rummaged in the drawer.
 "Well, what do you think of that? It's the first time I ever knew of such thing in post office. I can't make change. Pardon me a minute" and he left the window, to return shortly with the announcement: '5a a: ~-,
 "I can't find change for ten any where in the office; so I've had to send out for it. Perhaps you won't mind chatting with me for few mo- ments."
 The old man with the scarf stuck his face into the scene and asked for stamp, grinning.
 Sorry; you've got the wrong win- dow," said the clerk. 'rhis is the reg istry window. Turn to your left for stamps"
 '"Thankee, thankee," the old man said. T ain't much used to post of fces." and he went away,
