LLEN WALLACE fastened the
quaint old amethyst brooch
carefully and her husband re-
garded her with satisfaction,
“You look nice, Ellen,” he remarked,
eyeing the smooth black silk gown,
severely plain but of the best qual
fty, and her soft hands of silvery-
white hair. “How | wish | could take
you over to Edinburgh; there are” —
his voice held a note of pathos—

Ellen hated to go Into a drug
and spend the necessary nickel. Long
habits of thrift remained with her
and a nickel dropped into an outside
telephone seemed wasteful to her,
She wanted to leave Dick as much as
possime. “How they will enjoy our
little cottage when we are through
with it,” she reflected tenderly. Every
board and nail in the tiny place was
surrounded by old memories of their
happy south. Erie had been the kind-
est of husbands and had worked and
cherished her with all his strength.
Most of the cottage had been built by
hiz own hands—before the loss of the
left arm. Here her sparkling blue
eyes dimmed as she remembered his
grief at having to give up active work

where Dick lived. The place looked
shabby and uncared for, greatly in

griinly ahead,

but her extraordinarily sharp ears
still heard clearly above the sound
of her heartbeats,
