It. was two years since Joe Hentley had left his home in u ijuiet little Ohio town t-i a-ck his fortune in the wet. For two years each working day lunl found him at his desk iu a larg-e mer cantile house in Chi'ap;o. lie h.ul l-a-eii I'ort unate in s-curiiitr a jKisit !un at once, throur.li a lirotherof his town stmas ti r, who w:u now chief clerk in th.-nf-t'ee. Joe will lieter forre tti.isc tun years- - lonesome ln ears I tie were. I he more lonesome, erhaps. Is-cau" .m hail never Ihi-ii away from home ail ainoiiir sbranirers liefore. When lie first came to Chieaio the world's fair ami other attractions made Ihe city a wonderful place for thei-ouii-t r 1 Itoi . lint t liese soon pale.l or passed Si a ay. ami the lone mesas set t led IImi him as lie felt hiui.-elf a stranger in a stramre land. For a time he nttend.il church. its had Ik-i-h Jiis habit, at home, hut tliey were siieli larjre places, and the oiiir'retr.i -lion and younif folks dressed and actcl so ditT.-rcntly from the church folk at home that he (iiiuMy iot in the hal.it of stayini aw-iy. He sorely missed his town aci-uaintjiiiees. t!ie coinpanioii tliip of his j-isters and brothers and the liriirht sm.le of Cousin Fan, who usvl 1, op in so nnjie-tsly and leave such a volume of sunshine In-hind h-r w hen her father wouM come to tow n to tlo his market inff. The trirls wi'h w hom some of his fellow clerks associ-at-l, and with whom they t risl to make him at Itonw. somehow failed to fill the Hill. Somehow it didn't seem rifrht fo Ihe fello-ivs to prevt them on thestnvt with a familiar slap on the shoulder and a "Hello. Kit, old prrl. Iwiw you is?" and in spite of himself he felt too much of an aversion to them to enjoy himself or make himself entertaininir, and dropped tiK'Tii. At last a chanp-e came pradnally. to lie sure, so slowly that Joe l:nrlly knew there had lieen a. chaiifre till it t" as t.here. For several days the seat 'at. the opjiosite enl of the talde in the restaurant where Joe ate lunch had 1m--ii occupied by a modes-t-apearin-" little woman, whose lonjr hushes frinired the darkest of blue eyes, and whose slisrhtly j o u t i n r lips and roumled cheeks plowed with the natural health which can never lie duplicated by art and wlcch only country air can pive. The next day she tvas, in the same seat, and the next and the next, and Joe soon came to look forward, iinthinpinply, to see the bripht face of the unknown. One day the chair was vacant, and Joe. with a sense- of deep disapKint mcnt, knew why it was. he looked for ward so earerly to the noonday mea!. The next noontime he took particular pain) with .his toilet and was so im patient that, he was at- the table fiv minutes! liefore his accustomed time. She was not there, ami his heart sank. A minute later it Iwinnded apain as lie saw tin" well-know n fipure -oiniijplown the aisle. As she pulled liack her chair preparatory to takinp her .M'at. some how or other. Joe never quibe knew how it. happened, the b:p bins- eyes flaslicd for a moment into his and he was on his feet, bliushinpand liowinp. This was the liepinninp. and it lie- came customary to lxw . later to sit side by side and talk duriup lunch, ai.d. if time M'rmitted, to walk with her as. far as the Monadnock biiildinp. where she was employed. He had vainly tried to discover her name, but when he had naively informed her that it was awk ward to cull her "Say." she had asked him to call her simply Miss Marparet, add in-r that this was what she was most penerally called and was most ac customed to. This went on for several weeks and Joe had several times lieen ou the verpe of askinp for her address, that he mipht call, or askinp her to accompany him tot he theater, but lie kept delay inp. fear inp that he mipht rupture the prowiup friendship and lie left iipaiti to himself and the lonesomeness of feelinp that he knew alttM-st no one. One noontime (and Joe will always renicmlier it) she was not in her accus tomed place, althouph the day liefore she bad lieen seculatinp what the bill of fare would lie. He ate as slow ly a-s he could and sent his whole noon hour in the restaurant, but when he left the chair was still vacant. The next ilay the same experience. He reproached himself for not findinp out. more aliout ,er perhaps she was sick or had met w ith an accid'Mit. At any rate, s-he knevv his name and address why didn't t-lie at least drop hiui a line? Surely it was cruel to leave him in such uncertainty. He brooded over what mipht possibly have happent-d to her, till his health Ik pan to tail. He never thoupht the daily walk of a few blocks could mean so much to him. Several w eeks passed by a.nd the chair still continued vacant, tin the very day his two years was up Joe rtmeuiLiered that Kite had spoken of Oconouiow oc one day in connection with her family, lie would a-sk for a few days respite from work and go up there. He hail ncier asked for a, vacation and they surclv would not refuse- him. ISesides. it was not far from Chicju-o aul many Chicapo men went up Saturday nights to spci.d Sunday with their families who were stop pi np there. Anyhow, he would po for the rest of the week possibly he mipht see her or hear of her a.ml the chanpe would do him pood eien if he didn't. The next nioruinp, Wednesday, he started. He could only be spared for the ret of the week, but what mipht not bapien in four whole days? When Ije. arrived at the deot of the pretty lit tie Wisconsin town he found liimscl," anxiously lookiup around, thotiph he coudemued himself for his foolish nc-!-in doing sxj why should she hearouiid the dejiot if she was in the tow n? After he hail s-epistorod at a hotel he wamlered aimlessly aliout the town, udmirinp the handsome houses and the lieautiful twin lakes, and watchinp tie launches, filled with happy caiuK-rs, dartinp to and fro. In the afternoon he hired a Imat. ami tried to fish, bur after a couple of ltours effort, when only a couple of siokly-lookino- do.-tisb rewarded his efforts, he pa if il up iu dispust ami returned to the hotel.

In a matter of ten minutes Joe had forced his way lo where she sat and found himself at her side. She apicared if I ad to see him and Joe felt supremely happy as evplan.i tions on Isolli sides were bcinp made -thoiiirh he thoupht it stranpe that she assipned no reason for her sudden d -Kirture from Chicapo. All t tiinps must liave an end and the entertainment came to a close. Joe's rvipiest to "see her home" hail lieen ac cepted ;...d lie seemed to le t r-alinp on air as he- left the tent with the little blind rest inp lipht ly on his arm. As they were nearinp a crossinp and Jos' was openinp up the subject of carryinp tin a c-orresoiidenee a woman's form eamo under the lipht across the way. Mar paret half turned around to po bad. with a "Gracious, there's ma!" looked more closely and saw a iniddle aped woman with a determined-lix.k-inp face hurryinp toward them. She took Marp-iret sharply by the arm and drew her to one side as she said : "I've lieen huntinp for you even -where what made you chanpe your seat? We won't trouble this younp man for his company any further" - with a scathinp look at Joe "I'm ashamed of you, out viith a younp man and your weddinp only three flays otT. I'll lie plad when Frank has you to look after instead of me." And as Marparet was lieinp hurried aw ay from liiin across the street, Joe caupht the pleam of tlie rinp on the lit tle hand that was surreptitiously waved to him. Chicapo News.
