To that end he - accepts n position as assistant to Colonel Wharton, a collector of antiques and gems. In the colonel's house he meets Dora Wharton, his fliece, and she takes him around the grounds to show him the place, AND llEItlS IT CONTINUES V"OU are kind to look at it in thai J. way," she smiled.

Wc had been walking along a flower bordered path as she talked and she paused for a moment to glance lit an exquisite wrist watch. "We do not breakfast for half au hour yet," she remarked ''I'crhaps you would like to view the grounds in tbo meantime? That is, if you are will ing to accept me as a guide " There was no coquetry in her voice or manner, ana there was a natural uig Many years have passed since that I first walk through the grounds 01 1 Hcdgewater House, and I have had as full a life as the average young Ameri can, but the memory of the incident remains as clear in my mind as though it had occurred but yesterday. That half hour pased with ama.ing swiftness , and just before it came to au end we sat in the summer-house over looking the river whose rippling waters sparkled in a way that inadequately re flected the cheerfulness of my heart. As she sat there with the morning sun shine on her face I had an opportunitj of studying the girl to more advantage. She was not beautiful, in the ordinary sense of that word. Indeed, her fea tures were ii regular and her nose was not large enough to suit the exactions of an artist. But her bright eyes, with their ouizzical. questioning expression, and her smiling lips, brightened liar faceme amazingly and made ner tne most at tractive girl I had ever met.

The gate shut "with a slam. The sister at the window made. a final, timid expostula tion. Walking briskly away. Thoebe left consternation and collapse behind her.

But even that dazzling prospect failed to rouse Phoebe from the strange depression following her earlier exuber ance. She felt disloyal to the log cabin quilt taken from its twenty years' rest ing place in the old cedar chest to hang now for careless eyes to gaze upon ! No wonder Becky, her sister, was amazed ! ITor the first time in Phoebe's meek ex istence she had defied her older sister! It was the biting, jealous tongue of Ke becea Brandon that had separated the loyera on the eve of their wedding.
