years, had made so evident their wish

It was when she learned that Paul,

that Betty made up her mind to run
away, and writing to her aunt in
America, whom she had never seen,
opened the opportunity for the invita-

Suddenly, breaking in upon her
meditations, a tall figure advanced
through the shrubbery and, throwing
himself down on the cushions before
her. silently held out his hand. AS he

What was he doing here7 Would he
recognize her? No, that was absurd,
and presumably her aunt would not
disclose her identity. These thoughts
flashed through her mind as she bent

Love In a COTTAGE.

There may be today just as much
love in the world as ever, but of the
kind the poets are wont to sing Of,
"love in cottage" there is certainly
a falling off-through lack Of the cot
tage. Yet in some sections reports are
that the shortage Of houses is acting
as direct incentive to marriage.
The naive explanation is that when
there were houses to be had the pos
session Of one was a natural prelim-
mary to wedlock, but now that they
are not to be had, no one will think
any the less Of the newly married
couple for establishing themselves In
lodgings or In the home of their par
ents or even their friends.-Des-

they were doing or going to do. But
bad news has wings of its own. Mr..

bullying in.
"What's all this fre-alarm that's

briefly. "The local companies couldn't
