"Harold Biythe followed the crowd which led him Into what had once been a skating rink and more latterly adapted to public social and political gatherings. \l{was a bright and lively scene within—gleaming lights, music, any number of gaily decorated booths tended by pretty girls and smiling ma- trons. A great streamer announced a home fair in progress for the benefit of victims of the war abroad. Biythe was a total stranger in the town, and had strolled forth to take In whatever might offer in the way of varlety.- It was nearly canopied In, but there was sufficient of an opening to dis- play the loveliest looking girl he had ever seen. She was roseate, smiling, tascinating, “Klsses, ten cents,” read a transparency over the booth, Blythe noted a dandified fellow pay his dime and pass through a little passageway at dne side, and the young lady dis- ‘appearing, apparently to walr’ixpon her customer. 4 : i “It's more than worth the mone; he soliloquized in gleesome ant! tion; and as th€ customer dlsappéared through another exit and the roguish face and twinkling eyes agair present- ed where the draperies parted, Blythe tendered a dollar bill.

A minute later Blythe asked a girl sell- Ing buttonhole houquets the name of the young lady. ’ “Oh, that is our best worker!” came the response. “She is quite a stranger here, but she has made everybody her friend—Miss ‘Adelaide.

Blythe was a good deal unlike the mgjority of youths with whom she had dealt. Some of them had snick- ered, scme had got angry. one or two had tried to obtaln real kisses. The contrast of a well-bred young man, who treated the episode with well-man- nered good nature, charmed her. There was quite a little history and wystery as to Adelalde. She had come to Rossville, presumably an heiress. That Is, at her humble home at u town fifty miles distant, an orphan living on the bounty of a relative, shé had been visited by old Leon Wardell, with whom she now lived. ~According to his story, one Hugh Barry, a dlsmnf"relfl- tive of hoth, dying, had left to him the bulk of his fortune and .to Adelalde a fait annuity ¢s long as she lved with hin. It was not very agreeable for Ade- laide In the lonely old house_ with her crochety guardian, but shgp was well provided for, had plenty of pocket money, and it seemed pleasant to be free from constant work. The only thing Adelaide did not like were the occaslonal visits of .a stepson -o#-War- dell, who meditated a mitch between them, The mission of the young man gt the hotel was a mystery to Rossville. He would stroll about town for an hour 17 the morning and then for another hour after dark, and each time he would pass the Wardell home, /Twice Adelalde came face to’ fATE€ With him. He lifted his hat and she hov«g but mp- Wil he did not seek to speak with het. ~ One morning ‘Wardell anngiinced that he was golng to another town for the. day. -After he had left, Adelalde locked up the house and went to call upon a girl friend.

She was startled—spellbound. “If you will give me a few moments, Miss Standish,” he said, “I would like to explain my presence here. My mis sion is_this,” and he drew from his pocket a large envelope. “I have act ed at the instigation of vour déad fa- ther's old lawyer, who had reason to believe that your guardian had sup- pressed the truth as to the estate. It 18 all yours, and here are the docy- ments, hidden by Leon Wardell, that prove it.” They let Wardell off lightly because he wrs a relative of Adelaide, and further hecause, mutual love mellowing their natures, it was natural that the happy lovers should feel inrlulgé‘!it and forglving after real kisses had sue ceeded the candy one GRANDSON OF GREAT ITALIAN EMANCIPATOR FRRFRGRRRREEARACRARERAGRNMN Gen.
