would only suffer disa ppointment. not

body remembered her or cared about

Yet. as the old familiar hills drifted
past her car window. she gazed at
them hungrily finding some compen-
"a tion for the trouble and sacrifice her
journey had entailed. She realized
that she should find some sort Of vel
come in the dear old scenes. even il
the people who inhabi these scenes
had changed.
She had been longing for years to
so back to the place where she had
spent the happiest period of her life,
hut somehow she could never arrange
it, Even now she had had to practice
the strictest economy with all her
preparations She could not ask the
children to help her. Joe had just
married and Louise. who had been
married for nine years and had child,
had recently undergone a serious
operation, 1t was, in fact. her three
months OF service in Louises home
which had made the doctor suggest a
change for her. SO she had decided
TO go back home, as she had always
called Westviile.
Eighteen years Ia a long time and
much had happened. She no longer
received letters from the old place.
She felt herself lost to such of her
old friends and neighbors as vet re-
NAMED She wondered about them
wistfully.
OF course she herself had changed
greatly. Thoes Is years of hardship
and struggle and sorrow had blanched
her brown hair and stolen the roses
from her cheeks She wore black
now. for Arthur. instead of the bright
colors she had formerly loved. And
black never had been becoming to

reavement, she intended now TO wear
black as long as she lived.

among the hills. The town at last.
How the new lighting system made it
glow upon the darkness. She remem-
bered the old kerosene lamps which
had lit their living room evenings.
With sigh she began to collect her
luggage, to rummage in her purse for
the right cab fare. Before she went
to the hotel she would have long
look at her old home, where she and
Arthur had been so happy.
As she stepped from the train she
came face to face with a large. rosy
woman wrapped closely against the
chill i'm a furtrimmed coat. Instant
lv she recognized Mrs. Page. In the
old days Mrs. Page had ranked as
the leading woman of the town. Ar
rogant-with wealth and popularity.
She had made great distance be-
tween herself and the plain little wife
of an unsuccessful physician. Re
membering this, Ellen was slipping
