Velda Tresham was the one young lady in that vil- lage for whom he entertained a warmer sentiment than she had ever divined.

He had heard inciden- tally that Tolman had been paving some attentions to the young and did not seck a gratuitous heart- ache by exploring the intimacy. Earle knew that the erudite Profes- sor Tresham, the father of Velda, was a great collector of unique odd- ities. He had sent the prayver mill to Velda hoping she might write to him. At least it would show that he had not forgotten her. 1 ! { The next day Earle was sorry that | | he had sent the little gift. He hap- | pened to meet Tolman.
