Why she had noyer had a sweetheart In all her lonely life, and out of a clear blue sky this. She flushed guiltily as she thought of the 'little girl," and hurriedly picking up the scattered sheets, finished reading. The rest of the letter was filled with thrllllrg talei of travel, bits of hu morous adventure, and between the lines a man's yearning for home and "hla" girl. It was signed "Monty." Molly's life had been singularly un eventful ns far as men were concerned. &er since she could remember she had lived with her mother aa hor only com panion tho mother", whoso soul and mind were burled deep In a past of which she never spoke. Molly pas sionately loved to read and she had early manifested an unusual and beau tiful talent for writing. Of a shy, feen iltlve disposition, she sought no com panions but her books and writing, and thus grew to womanhood a bit lonely, perhaps, but still sweet and true. Her mother had fdrlously denounced the Idea of college and steadily refused to aid her. eo Molly, with her charac teristic gentleness, had quietly but firmly held to her resolution and was now working her way through college. The day the letter was received she had been, for her. unusually bluo and trtn a1 v She could not help feeling In her lecret heart that the letter could not possibly be for her. and yet It was rather nice to be called "dear" Molly hastily snatched up the envel ope, and as she scanned It a second time the smile died from her face: "To Miss Dolly Roberts, Sargent School, Cambridge, Mass., she read. So that wns It! She had frequently been confused with Dolly Roberts be cause of the similarity of their names, although they were as different aa night and day.

Never before had shh realized quite how lonely and (lone she was. She eat quite still. A daring thought had entered her mind ; this Monty was a safe distance away, Dolly wa cer tainly beyond caring school would be closing now In u week and Molly could end him her summer address, Who would be the wiser If she wrote to Monty, pretending she was DollyT Sho could typewrltq her letters, eo tnat Monty would not suspect: he was too far away to hear of Dolly's latest caprice. Molly, at this moment, was far from the placid being her schoolmates thought her. The plan was carried through with out a slip. Molly wrote ono of her Inimitable letters clever, humorous and sensible. An answer came In time, then let'ers flew back and forth all summer anl fall. A new tone hod crept Into the man's letters wondering, Insistent, that had not been there before. To all his Ioi-maklng sho was stendlly Im personal In her letters; what wns bre.vhed Into her pillow o'nlghts Molly Bevir reealed. Thus matters Btood until one crisp morning in early December. As Molly was leavine the school building, n tele gram was put Into her hands, and with a sinking sensation In her breaot, she tore open the envelope. The words tared up at her through a blur; "Meet me on 2:35 train today. Must ee ou Monty." Molly stood dazed; her little world was crumbling about her feet and she was powerless to stop It. Montv hero1 She repeated It to herself dulU' ngaln fna ngatn. He was so fine and honest, he would despise her, think her a client, a liar, she told herself mlsorably.

The train rumbled Into the station, the great gates swung open, and a throng streamed through. Molly, sick with misery, turned away and leaned despairingly against the Iron gate. Suddenly sho was startled by a touch on her arm. and a deep voice said a bit unsteadily: "Molly, you were so good to come." In her distress she did not notlco that ho called her "Molly" ; she did not even stop to wonder how he knew her. She had only an Instant's Impression of a tanned, rathar good-looking face, and earnest, smiling eyes, then "Oh, she cried, "you It's all a hor rlblo mistake il lied to you. I opened your letter to Dolly by mistake and I was lonely, and " Tho pitiful recital ended In what sounded suspiciously like a sob, and the tall young man In tho ensign's uniform patted her shoulder clumsily. "There, now," ho soothed gently. "I knew nil the time and I'm glad Dolly did elope, because now I have you." Indignantly Molly shook off his hand, and demanded warmly: "You knew?" "Well, you see," explained the young man genially, "when I received your first letter I knew thnt somebody quite different from Dolly had written It. I made guarded inquiries of my sister Peg, a senior at Sargent, and she told me about Molly Robblns, who was al ways being confused with Dolly Roberts. It sounds reasonable and so well, I've been busv falling In love with you ever since. Why, I knew you the minute I stepped through tho gates." Molly's opposition was fast diminish ing. Sho allowed herself to bo led to the street, but once there sho stopped suddenly. "We haven't been properly Intro duced," she declnred, primly, "I don't renllv know you."
