dins day tinil gazed down nt his two
Krniidfliildren, who with eager, cx
pectnnt goze awaited the lieginnlug of
his story.
When I win but twelve years old I
moved f.nm Canada to HiiiTlsvillo,
Western SlaisnchiiscttM. I was put in
the same elass with your grandmother
nt school. Hut I hated girls: that is,
until three years after my entrance In
to that class.
"One day my eye rested on Ruth
Ashford. which was your grandma's
name then. She was hard to wink
over a illlticult problem in mathe
matics. Her flushed cheeks were Hie
phttire of clill li innocence and beauty
and tl light-blue dress served to hight
en the color. I was smitten. I, who
had always been foremost in deriding
nnd ridiculing nny companion who
liiit-'ht be taken with the charms of
feminity, fell hend over heels In boy
ish love. Your grandma reciprocated
r'y affections, nnd many were the
1 ilssfnl hours we spent together.
"Only too short was our happiness.
I'.nth's mother wan a woman of the
world. She had other views for her
daughter than the son of a shoemaker.
So it was that I was forbidden to see
or hear from my beloved.
"I forsook my old companions nnd
haunts, became silent and melancholy,
nod acted In such a manner that my
parents grew frightened nt the depths
of what they considered a boyish,
temporary passion.
"Kliinlly tluy bundled me off to
Texas, where the change of scene, out
door life nnd activity were pronounced
It sure cure for love-sickness.
"Six years I passed in the wilds of
Texas. The sting of the separation
from my darling gradually wore off,
hut In Its place there came that deep-
'et affection which lasted from that
I'ay to this. My twenty-first birthday
i.iioe, and I resolved to go home, to
ivo tiller over the spots where In ernu
i any with my loved one I whlled nwny
(he Idle hours of youth.
"My long journey ended I burst in on
my folks one day while they were at
llnner. Tor about nn hour I did noth
ing but ask nnd answer questions; but
not one word was spoken about the
pill who was nearest my heart, whom
I had travelled all the way home to
dee.
"Were they trying to conceal some
thing from meV Had something hap
pened to my darling while I was
iway? Had she got married' Oh,
tlod! the thought was enough to drive
im- mad.
"At last I found a chance to ask
mother how Ituth was getting along.
In trembling tones fhe answered: 'My
poor boy, you must prepare for a great
Oiook. Six weeks ago Ituth was tnkfn
111 with typhoid fever, and though shiv
has rallied nt times, the report to-day
Is Hint she Is dying.'
"I waited lo hear no more, but
seized my hat nnd rushed from the
house, fine object was before me. I
must reach her bedside before she
died. 1 reached the gate leading to the
Ashford's house, and in my blind
haste almost knocked over Dr. Duf
fleld, who had just arrived to see bin
patient. I Introduced myself, and then
begged him to hurry down and
acquaint me with nny news of the
sick girl. 1 had not long to wait. In
a few moments he came back, nnd
even before ho spoke I knew my dar
ling was dying.
"Oh, the agony of that moment. I
begged permission of Mrs. Ashford to
see Ituth, and as ihe doctor acquiesced
my boon was granted.
"Tlu-re on the bed rested my Ruth,
her cheeks sunken and wasted with fe
ver and looking but a shadow of her
former self. With a glad smile of wel

come she g-rceted me, although no
words fell from her litis. I took her !
small hand In my large tanned ones
nnd sat down beside the lied. The
shadows deepened into darkness, but
still I sat there holding my darllng'a
hand. Ruth had sunk into siumber.
I dared not move for fear of disturb
ing her. Hour after hour passed un

A heavenly smile lighted up her feat-J

"From that day her recovery was
but a matter of time, and one year
later we were married, and a happy
niarriaire It has proved for nie."
"And for me, too," chimed In grand
ma, who, unnoticed, had entered the
room.
