She had known of Elizabeth's nffec

ud had seen that Jimmy returned, tli"
f!lnr; but he was n quiet man, nnd
Mt an Impetuous wooer. He had waited
tm the last moment to speak of this
lie wu sure while Fred Stanhope hud
tside the most of hin chances. Fred
vu, as she had said, a 'nice boy, but
Elizabeth did not love him, and there
Vie no doubt that she did love Jimmy.
The light of determination came into
Jin, 8blrley's eyes and a smile wrin
kled the corners of her mouth. "I
don't suppose It's ever been done be

Steps Hounded on tho wnlk. The bell
pealed nnd n sleepy innid went to

"Show Mr. Davis Into the living

passed the timid. Then she ran lightly
up the stairs.
"Betty Betty dear?"
"Y-yes, mother?" from the other side
of tho door.
"Betty, dry your eyes nnd look your
prettiest. There's some one downstairs
who wants to see you.
"What? But it's so late."
Mrs. Shirley smiled In the darkness,
"It's never too late, dear. Now, run
alone and cood-nlcht. my daughter."
Hetty hurried down the stairs. The
door of tho living room opened nnd

"No," she soliloquized. "It's never
