one of the men who had been in
that very night-Bert Bascomb-
was splendid horseman.
perhaps you saw him-tall and
blonde-about thirty?"
Miss Allen thought she knew him.
Bert learned to ride on the plains
in the West, where he was raised
up as he says" said Howard.
Miss Allen, herself, used to ride
the ponies on her fathers ranch
when she was a girl and there had
been a small blonde laddie on an
adjoining ranch that she had ridden
with. She had forgotten the name.
When the arm was all set again
and placed, this time, in cast that
held it straight down at the pa
tents side, Mrs. Norton found that
her husband wanted no one but her
in the room with him. He was ir-
ritable and i'll and childish, and
toward evening when the telephone
began to ring and callers came to
see the sick man, Mrs. Norton de-
cided that the best thing to do was
to ask Miss Allen to remain down.
stairs to see everyone for her.
HUS it was that when Bert Bas-
u comb arrived to call on his
friend, he found the pretty little
nurse alone in the library.
MIR. Norton does not feel like
seeing anyone tonight. He had a
rather bad time under the anaes-
thetic and feels pretty uncomfort-
able" she told him.
"Ill stick around. l might be of
use, you know" he said.
Miss Allen preached the subject
of horseback riding-and the West.
"Oh,. could it be possible" the
man cried, boyishly, "that you are
the little kid I used to race with on
the pony? But no; her name was
Burton-Carol Burton"
Miss Allen stared at him. "What!
Why that is my own NAME" she
said. my father died when 1 was
eleven and my mother thought
had better take my stepfather's
name to avoid explanations"
Bert fairly devoured her with his
eyes to see if he could find again
the little tomboy playmate. $50 you
are Carol" he repeated.
Miss Allen nodded.
"And to think that here, in New
York-on Long Island-I should
come across you again. Really, all
my life l have fancied that little
girl to be my sweetheart. l have
never had another" he went on.
Miss Allen was embarrassed at
his boyish frankness. He asked her
all the questions he could think of
and she told him that she had been
connected with the hospital at Mine
ola and that she was often in these
villages doing private nursing.
"Then l may see you often?" he
asked
She nodded.
When Mrs. Norton came down to
get the night nurse she looked from
one to the other and they had to
explain.
"Oh, won't Howard be glad?" she
asked Bert. 'He has always said
that all you needed to make you
human was girl" she laughed.
And such a grill" he added as
Miss Allen went upstairs.

Martha, who kept house, and the
servants had rooms at the back of
the house. Old Mr.. Fenwick was
quite deaf. So Narcissa's plan of
revenge was bound to work well.
Edward had called out to her as he
left to tell Aunt Martha that he
wouldn't be home for dinner. It
was then that Narcissa thought of
her plan.
AS the day advanced she noticed
with regret that it would probably
be unusually warm and balmy for
May. She had hoped for chill eve
ming, with possible showers.
After her father had gone to his
room that evening, after the serv-
ants were all in and after good Aunt
Martha had gone the rounds to see
that the windows were all securely
locked and shutters on the down.
stairs windows all well bolted, Mar
cissa crept downstairs.
She surveyed the heavy old front
door with close scrutiny. It had a
special lock, key to which the eld-
er brother Edward carried. When
he was to be out late the bolt was
not drawn. Narcissa carefully drew
this bolt and then turned another.
ancient lock at the top of the door.
Then she stayed awake until mid
night. She heard the late train draw
into the station, waited fifteen min
utes and then heard steps on the
veranda below. Edward had come
home; he couldn't possibly get in.
The garage was locked and he would
have to stay out all night or walk
to the village with meager chance
Of finding shelter there. Narcissa
dropped off to sleep secure in her
revenge. In the morning she would
unbolt the door before anyone was
up and not confess her guilt until
after Edward had aired his griev-
ance to the entire family.
HAT morning when she drew
l. the lock she peered through the
crescent aperture in one of the front
shutters to see if her brother we're
on the front veranda. Instead of
one man she saw two. One was
asleep in dilapidated hammock
and another, the stranger, in a
rickety steamer chair. Z
That morning she appeared at
breakfast smiling serenely. Her re-
venge had worked better than she
had hoped. Edward had apparently
brought home a guest and had been
put to the embarrassment of lodging
on the front porch with him.
Edward greeted Narcissa with
more than usual enthusiasm, both
he and his guest rising as she en-
tered.
"Here he is, Cis," he said. "This
is Mr.. Morgan Dare. l brought him
out for the night, which we spent on
the veranda."
There were rather embarrassed
hand shakings. 81 told Mr.. Dare
how you admired his work, and he
asked to meet you. You're the first
woman he ever heard of that liked
his writing"
So it was. Morgan Dare tarried
two days through, so charmed was
he with the only girl who admired
him. And when he went it was with
his troth pi@hted to that of Mar
cissa Fenwick.

 we are not trying to just run another Y. M. c. A. in Waterbury We are continually studying the racial and religious makeup or our community, in order that the Y. M c. A. might build itself into our own community life. Waterbury has a complex citizenship with many racial and religious strains.
 "There is a tendency always, for each of these groups to go its own way. The Big Friendly Y is one place where various groups meet on a common, friendly, democratic footing. They associate in programs which they themselves plan and direct, toward the building of Chris tian citizenship and Christian char acter.
 Popular Slogan
 ''It was a very wise move, when the local Y. M. c. A. adopted the slogan The Big Friendly Y.' Our three buildings and the camp are all friendly places, and it means a lot to Waterbury to have the friendly spirit of large organiza- tion like the Y. M. c. A. permeat- ing our community. The Y. M. c. A brings all classes and groups to- gether and makes us better neigh bors and better citizens. It plays a large part in helping to make Wa terbury a friendly place in which to live"

Then, in Justice Stephen Jack
