HE little town of Milford was noted for its quiet and beauty and wonderful homelike resi- dences. On Maple street, which was overshadowed by wonder- ful, tall maples, stood -two big white I houses which were set far back from ithe street and stood exactly facing each other. In one lived Roger Kent and in the other Mary Van Borst and her sister Eliza. The Van Borsts were of the aristocracy—I might say, were the aristocracy of the town. In fact, it was a Van Boorst who had been granted the patent upon which the |town of Milford had been built. Mary and Eliza Van Borst, the last of their race, were wonderfully attrac- tive women, hoth well under 30. They had been highly educated, both at home and abroad, and in consequence Mary had grown to think the e honor of the Van Borst tradi- tions was in their hands. Miss Eliza, who had received a wonderful educa- tion in music and was very talented, longed with her whole soul for a ca: reer, but to this her sister would not listen. It would disgrace the Van Borst name, for what Van Borst had ever worked for the public? It looked as if Miss Eliza was doomed to bury her talents in this little out-of-the-way town. As for Miss Mary, she was per- {haps all the more determined to sup- press her sister’s longing for a career because her own heart was aching 4n w very unreasonable way—she was in of argument seemed to make the slightest difference in her feeling for { him. Now, Roger Kent was a fine, manly fellow of 30. He lived alone in his big louse and was the village postmaster and also kept a little store. He had been obliged to forego a career in or- der to stay with his mother, who was 4 widow and very delicate. She had died u few months before and he had becn very lonely since her death. ! Roger was in love with Mary Van Borst and his love for her kept him puiting off the day when he should and be forever out of sight Of course, he knew that Mary Had he not sked her once and got a curt refusal en in such a haughty manner that lie had never dared to renew the at- tempt. This is the way things stood this bright April morning, when all Mil- ford was busy cleaning houge. Down Maple street came a lttle girl of 4. She was singing to herself as { she came along down the street drag: ging a small red cart. She was going out visiting and paused here and there.

She went from room to room through the lower floor, searching for her “dear. girls,” as she called the Van | Borst girls. She did not find them, | and as she had always had the run of | the house, decided she would go up- stairs and look for them. Here she| met with no better success as she | passed from room to room, and finally | as she caught her own reflection in a | long pier glass she crossed the room and flirted with herself. Soon tiring of this, she wandered out on the back | balcony, where, crumpled up in the! porch hammock, she found her beloved Miss Mary crying her eyes out. What could be the matter? Little Lucille stole up and patted her friend on the | shoulder and said, as she would to her | little brother: “There, there, dearie.i’ But she got no response. Miss Mary said in a muffled voice: “Oh, do run along, Lucille. Don't bother me.” Lucille wandered back into the house and tried to unravel the mys- tery. This much she knew, that in all the time she and her mamma had been coming to this lovely house never before had she found one of her friends crying. It must be—yes, it must be Miss Mary was crying be- cause she could not clean house. Yes, that must be it! Well she would soon remedy that. She, Lucille, would clean for her; she would begin right now. She stole into Miss Mary’'s bedroom and the first object that caught her fancy was the bureau. That was it Didn’t mother always begin to clean the bureau? Sure! She drew out first one drawer and then another and began to rai ck its contents. Before going far, however, she found a box of chocolates and, not meaning to be naughty, just tasted ome. It was good. She ate several. Soon tiring of chocolates and cleaning, and catching sight of a little red book, she decided to take the book and start out as a book agent. So quiet was she that she left the house un noticed and wandered acr the street to where Roger Kent was at work ia his big front yard, , Mr. iKent” she called , “want to buy a book?” Roger paused and looked at the child and a smile came to his hand some good-natured face. 1 don’'t know, Lucille,” he “Have you got a good one * answered the child posi- “But it hasn't got any pic- 1 guess maybe I'll have to sell e Look at it.” s ::lniw»mmng.
