"Dear Mr. Lehan After grave re
flection I hare concluded that it will
be better for us both If yon forget that
last night I consented to become your

If you choose you may simply look
upon this conclusion as one of my

"BARBARA DENNIS."
With trembling fingers she ad
dressed and sealed It She hated her
self for her vacillation, for her cow
ardice, for her selfishness toward the
mother and sister for whose sake she
bad promised to marry Frank Lehan.
"But. oh!" she half groaned. "I never
could do It! It would mean a life's
misery for the two of us, Just as much
for him as for me, since I could not
bring myself to return his affection.
I'm Biire mother would rather remain
poor than enjoy wealth at the expense

letter bnx at the corner of the street.
At the door she paused, hastily wiping
the- tears from her eyes, for she heard
l'tht footsteps In the hallway. In an
oi: er moment a young girl rushed into
the room, her face aglow, In her eyes
the- light of a great Joy.
'Oh. Babble!" she exclaimed,
b:- Jthlessly. "Mother's told me!
I'n't It glorious? To think that we're
golrc to be rich at last Or thnt Is
you'll be rich and I suppose" She
filed roguishly, so taken up with
b.r own happiness that she failed to
c.:.'ce Barbara's unresponsiveness.
"Coma over here and sit in this
rh-lr near the window, Bab. There's
so' ething I'm bursting to tell you,
seething I've never mentioned to
yi or mother before, because I knew
tt -ould" she hesitated "hurt you
fco'.'."
Hrrbara submitted passively as her
els or led her to a big chair. Into
wr'ch she pushed her so unceremonl
ou-ly that the sad face lighted up for
a moment with a smile of amusement
"Now," began the younger girl,
seating herself on the floor at Bar
bara's feet "Since you and Frank
will have lota and lots of money to
spare, I'm going to beg for some of
It Of course," she added hastily, "I'm
going to pay you back some day
There was now no gayety In the eyes
raised to Barbara's Instead, they
were very grave. "Bab." she went on,
slowly, "ever since I entered high
school, three years ago, my greatest
wish has been to go to college." Bar
bara started slightly, but her sister
did not notice. "I've lain awake
night after night, trying to think of
, rume way to do it, but there didn't
. cem to be any. I knew If I told moth
er bow much I wished to go. she
wo ild manage somehow to send me,
but I couldn't tell her, knowing how
hard It la for her to get along. But
now, It's different" She suddenly
laughed aloud, and spread out her fin
gers ecstatically. "Ob, how different!
And you, dear old precious, have made
my dream come true. BeBldes which,
you will be married, so that we'll both
be happy!"
Barbara gaxed tenderly at the pret
ty face pressed against her knee, its
smoothness unbroken by any line de
noting that sorrow had ever entered
Its owner'a life. Was she the one to
plant the first furrow there? Shiver
ing slightly, she reached out her hand
and stroked her sister's bright hair.
"It will be nice for you, dear," she
said, huskily. "You had better go
now. or you"l be lute for school."
The girl Jumped up then for the
first time noticed the letter which Bar
bara still held. Glimpsing the name
and address on tt, she smiled mis
chievously. "What, already? I will
call it for you, Bab, on my way out"
"Never mind. dear. It's of no Im
portance, and he's not waiting for ft
