THE EVENING STORY

Most unexpectedly at this point a
corner of the harvest moon burst forth
in sudden and unwonted splendor from
the threatening clouds. and in one
startled moment the girl saw not only
the full and irreproachable presence of
her caller. but. coming around the
bend of the long driveway. about to
make a call in his take-it-for-granted
fashion. the unmistakable form Of Sam
Anderson!
Succeeding her sudden sense Of re-
lief, something inspiring happened to
Mary Alice. She laughed. She felt
quite as though she was talking to an
