THE STORY so FAR
She was the gOverness at STATIONS
and he was Jim, and he worked at the
community garage. He was a handy man
and q willing worker, and she was in love
with him. He has been calling evenings
when she would steal out to the garden
wall which was her only means of com
municatiOn with the outside world. He
was, one evening, met at the gate or the
cottage near the StraitOn green, by two
men, one a father and the other the son.
He recognized the STATIONS. Jim is
questioned as to his ability to drive a
motor lOrry, with the result that Jim is
hired to do a little hauling for the Strait
Ons. He is to report for work at ten
o'clock. In the meantime, he continues
to the garden tryste, to meet the girl.
And. now the story
And there, as usual, was Nina, to whom
those meetings had become the only salts
factory part Of her life. The c~amOuflage
of the handkerchief had been dropped. You
see, you couldn't be deceitful with a man
like Jim. His honesty was so OyerWhelm-
ing and his simplicity so good. Then, too,
his eyes were very shreWd, and he saw
things as they were and not as you wanted
them to be. He had known her for the
g%Overness in the first twenty minutes,
and was all the more sympathetic be-
cause Of it. o, well, he had drilled recruits
and dealt with employers you see, and so
forth. Teaching was a very trying job.

Of fact, there was a letter this morning
from the lawyers. / heard the Major read
it to Mrs. StrattOn at breakfast. Very brief
and so far as I'm concerned rather
exciting"

and the servants were to be taken over
with the property. Isn't that amazing

striking a match on his trousers.
"Then what on earth is he going to dc

wants to marry badly and save you uT

Nina shrugged her shoulders. GAS the

people are sending their children t.
school much younger than they used t.

heaved a desperate sigh.
"Then, too, since this is the sort Of Eel
low who runs elevators and the like
doesn't it occur to o that he stands II

She burst out laughing at the comic
thought.
But there wasn't the suggestion Of

"AI right, Jim. If you think I may,
