There she had fallen into the company of Mrs. Smithers so much that she felt it was no coincidence when she found Mrs. Smithers seated in her favorite corner sewing or when she went for a walk to the springs and found Mrs. Smith- ers slowly moving thitherward, to be easily overtaken. On all such occasions Mrs. Smith- ers reveled in blissful recollections of beauties of her son's character or in golden dreams of his future, Miss French listened with a flutter- ing bosom. It was not surprising that her previously untouched heart throb- bod deliciously when Mrs. Smithers told of the chivalry in her son John's nature, Did an act of bravery or hero- ism reach her ears, never was she at a loss to recall something in John's brief but brilliant career that put the heroism of others completely in the shade. John was a lover of all thi noble, of all good and true and upright things, and he abhorred all mean, weak and contemptible natures as thoroughly as he hated deceit and sin, If a child crossed their paths Mrs. Smithers saw in it, not her own pleas- ure and love in perfect childhood, but John's, John couldn't see a child on the street without stopping to speak to it. And generous! And kind! And brave! And handsome! Oh, thoughts of John brought tears to his mother's eyes! S0 when Mrs. Smithers pressed Miss | and tenderly and whispered | Freneh's in a voice trembling with emotion that John was coming to see his dear moth- er the following week, and that Mrs. Smithers looked forward to the joy of letting Miss French share the de- lights of his presence, Miss French pressed Mrs, Smithers' hand in return, As she did so she felt a thrill of warmth and happiness heart, I was most exciting and roman- tic to think that she was soon to meet a man who was almost, if not quite, perfect, ' inge wheels on the day o arrival. The thought even cros mind that she ought to express her appreciation of Mrs, Smithers for Biv- ing her this great pleasure, She pie- tured Loesclt as she might be in the future, o a blooming Mrs. Smithers, | sheltered d protected by John, the envy of all her triends, the possessor {of absclute happiness.

She reached for Mrs. hand to comfort the poor mother—but it was gone, and so was Mrs. Smith- ers, With outstretched arms Mrs, Smith- s was racing down the walk toward a wizened little man with a reasing bald spot and a propensity for loud talk, who was bickering with the driver over his fare and demanding his rights in a high pitched voice that reminded Miss Judy show, before his transaction was completed and she threw herself into his arms be- | fore he was aware of her presence, “Oh, hello, ma'" he said, casually, but in a penetrating voice. sort of hard to get away—my books didn't balance last night, and I thought I'd have to stay over another day— but I fixed them.
