By H. M. EGBERT., Little Miss Brown had one bright spot in her otherwise drab life; that was her friendship for Merton Cald- well. She was decidedly an old maid, as New England reckoning goes. She looked thirty; she was actually thirty- five. Caldwell wasthirty-seven, but then & man ages more slowly than a | woman. On her thirtieth birthday Miss Brown had looked at her reflec tion in her mirror and said: “Now I | do not expect ever to marry.” | Caldwell was no hero; he was just | & New York business man. He spent his summer vacation at Cape Cod, in the village where the little schoolmis- tress taught. The Browns were of an old family, and had settled in Mas- sachusetts very soon after the Pil- grims landed. The friendship which sprang up between Miss Elizabeth and the visitor was so spontaneous, s0 naturally renewed each year for those three weeks of Caldwell's vacation, | away to Lyonesse, in the west somes | though he was that lasted a hundred years. And Str Roger's lady was a Caldwell.” f Merton Caldwell found his welcome singularly unaffected and warm. After & Dleasant evening he was invited to make the castle his headquarters, and the upshot was that, a week later, he was still a guest there, and his host, the squire, resolutely refused to let him depart, at least until the relation. ship had been cleared up. “I think,” he sald, “that you and Lucy are twenty-ninth cousins.” Lucy was the most delightful cous in he had ever had. She proved a mine of genealogy. “Why, I do belleve I didn't finish that story of the legend,” she sald one day, when they stood sid: by side at the tomb. “You know Lidy Browne was really & bad woman. She ran where—a mythical country far out lnl the Atlantic—while Sir Roger was in the Holy Land. When he came back | he prophesied that in eight hundred! years she would come back to him, and he would recognize her and rise out of the grave and pardon her | But I must say it doesn't look as going to fulfill his: promise, for eight hundred years were! up five years ago.” The glamor of the English country side bewitched Caldwell. He could bave lived there forever. But the short vacation was drawing toward its | ‘end. And a singular dificulty was that it was accepted by both as the most ordinary thing in the world. Some of the neighbors gossiped, but that wes what neighbors always ‘did, Miss Brown reflected. “TI shall not ‘be here.next sumnier, troubling him. He loved Lucy. A shy, reserved man, “e had never thought of mamr riage until her sweet face and pleas ant, simple ways attracted him. Would she come back with him?

Eight hundred years ago it had been found- ed by Sir Roger Browne, the Crusader, who lay beneath the marble effigy of himself and his lady inside the build- ing. The sexton, a grumpy.old fellow, ex- patiated upon the history of the statue with shrewd calculation that the Ameriean visitor would bestow largess ypon him. “That’s the tomb of Sir Roger,” he croaked. “He lays there-—all but his heart, wkich is buried in Jerusalem. But his lady don't lle by him. She went off with another knight while he was away, and they say"—his voice sank into a whisper calculated to awe—*“they say that after -eight hundred years has passed she'll come back to him, and he'll rise up out of them stones and forgive her.” “Now, John, you're telling the story and Caldwell turned to find himselt gazing into the eyes of a sizgularly pretty girl of twenty years or so. | “You are Mr. Caldwell?” she inquired. “We heard about you in the castle, | and my father wants you to come up to dinner and make our acq ;He thinks you must be c | with the Caldwells of EHi I “I was,” said Merton, | that was nearly two hu ago.” H ’ “That isn't much,” said the girl, | laughing heartily. “We bhave long| memories in this part of the country.
