suppose it's the only decent thing to
do and I don't believe she'll need any
thing much now"
So one by ,one they telephoned and
this is what they said:
"Oh, my dear, didn't know you
had been so i'll. I thought it had only
been a slight cold, and not having
heard from you l thought I'd call up
to see what had happened! I'll come
up and see you If may. wish ! had
known you were i'll before. might
have been able to bring you something.
But I'll come up today and see what
I can do for you. Good-by. dear. I
am so relieved you're little better.
Now don't do too much. simply
won't hear of 1t. Good-by."
So, every day for a week, one Of
them at least dropped in to see what
could be done.
And this is what they did:
They let her get up and make them
tea (when they called around teatime.)
They let her get them just the "sim-
pie lunch she would have had herself"
(she wouldn't have had any herself,
not feeling strong enough to get 1t y
when they came around lunch time.
They let her make coffee and sand
wiches when they came in the eve
nings.
And as they left, at different times,
each said approximately the same. 1t
was this

couldn't bear it if you got really i'll.
You're looking so much better now.
Oh-don't bother to thank me. 1t was
pleasure to do what 1 could"
Yes, she felt sadly disillusioned.
Life seemed to her a very sordid
proposition.
She remembered when she was pass
ing a jewelry shop one day. She had
seen sign in the window:
1--WE furnish the license free to any
one buying wedding ring from u.s."
Fancy their having such sign!
And there must have been people who
had responded, or they wouldn't have
such an advertisement.
She could fancy the modification
and embarrassment of having ones
prospective husband suggest such an
economy.
Alas, though, something had gone
entirely wrong with her romance In
life. Now, Valentines day was ap-
preaching, and once more she knew
she would have no flowers to wear,
while all her other friends had them.
1t had been hard. Illness, and moth
Ing now to buck her up. She was
lonely and young. 1t was worse, she
felt sure, than being lonely and old.
Her mind went back to the days
when she was sixteen. There was
Godfrey Pratt. They had talked of
their future together-but they were
both very young and Godfrey had
gone away that next year. She had
never seen him since; it was over ten
years. To think of being able to
speak of something as having hap
pened ten years before. 1t made her
feel so old.
Suddenly her mind was aroused
from these thoughts by a ring at the
bell.
Was she dreaming? Could it be-

And then-but why pry into those
precious moments of hers?

too, and clad in the armor of romance.
And tomorrow-St. Valentines day
they were to be married. He had had
dreadful time getting back for that
special day! ~
