The numerous windows were dose-; shuttered, all save those of the ‘:ut wing, where lived the caretajer and his wife and daughter. Lynn was dead, and now he rested in the splendid mausoleum in the graveyard overlooking the sea. Fern Dexter leaned against a pillar | of the west portico and pulled at an invading branch of crimson roses.; i fixed Her thoughtful gray eyes were on the horizon line and a little frown was indented above her nose. : Mrs. Dexter, in a deep basket chair near by, looked up from her sewing - with an inquiring smile. “My dear. 1 am afraid vou are worrying about the plans of our new landlord. It Mr. Lynn's nephew and heir wishes to tear down this beautiful place and transport the most precious parts to another location and build a home elsewhere—we cannot hinder him. And to fret over the inevitable is not like my sunny-hearted girl.” Fern smiled over her graceful shoulder, but her tone was serious “] am not fretting, mother, for now that father has regained his health in this bracing sea air and can re turn to his desk in Acker's, it does not matter whether Lynn Hous_e needs a caretaker or not—only, it does seem so wretchedly mean of voung Mr. Lynn to overlook ever: thing that his uncle put into this house. What it meant to the old man! 1—I could shake him for his stupidity!” Fern turned away ard ran lightly down the stone steps that led to the white beach below. Mrs. Dexter was still frowning ma- terna) disapproval of her daughter's impetuosity when through the long window behind her there stepped a young man, eager eved and in a state of suppressed excitement. “Ah, Mr. Lynn,” said the little lady with a charming smile; “won't you sit down and let Nora bring you something—a cupful of tea?" “No, thank you, Mrs. Dexter,” said Gabriel Lynn, his eyes following a pink linen frock that skimmed the beach below. “My train leaves at 5:20—and 1 believe I'll take a stroll along shore before I go. Mr. Dexter and I have transacted se much busi- ness that my head is quite befud- dled.” With a laughing nod he, too, ran down the steps and Mrs. Dexter watched him as he gained the beach and turned in the direction taken by her daughter. “I wondér if he heard what Fern sald,” she murmured as she resumed her sewing. At that moment the new master of Lynn House had caught up with the pink linen frock. Fern turned at the sound of his step and he was startled at the look of dislike in her gray eyes. Gabriel Lynn was not accustomed to being disliked by fair ladies. His own friendly glance hardened and he spoke brusquely. “l must beg your pardon for fol»f oV ! the voung man seemed strangely con- FFOSOEIEEOSOIISIEIEIFOSISIIIILSA DIITOSO 0N lowing you, Miss Dexter, but I could not help overhearing what you said to your mother. Please tell me what it was that my uncle put into this house that should not be disturbed— for I do not know.” The girl looked at him with won- dering eves. Then she made room for him on the rock beside aer. “I will tell you,” she said simply. “Your uncle often spoke about his past life and pointed with evident pride to what he had accomplished unaided, and we know—my parents and myself—what Lynn Hoéuse meant to Mr. Gabriel Lynn; but it was like his unselfishness to leave it all to you without restriction.” “Please tell me,” he repeated pa- tiently. “You know that for many years I served in the Philippines and 1 scarcely knew Uncle Gabriel, sl though he and I were the last of the Lynns.” “Mr. Gabriel Lynn, as you know, began life in this little fishing vil- lage as the son of poor parents. Your own father was a brilliant scholar, and soon left Seahurst for the metropolis. Your TUncle Gabriel, younger, and fired by a great ambi- tion to lift his family from the ob- scurity of poverty, worked his way upward little by little until after 40 yvears he had amassed a great fortune. Then he built this mansion on the site of his father's cottage— and so deep and tender were his sen- timents that his private sitting-room containe much of the furniture of the cottage in which he spent his boy- hood. His father's armchair, his | mother's sewing rocker ang many family keepsakes are there. In spite of his great wealth and his many friende he was a very lonelr man. This house—in itself a monument to his family, built in this isolated fishing village—contains much that is pot visible; vet, if you tear it down, as my father sarys you intend to do. and use the most valuable Jarts in the construction of your new fummer home in a more fashionable | resort, you will be destroring more | than mere bricks and mortar” | Gabriel Lynn looked into her eves Iud bung his head. “I am afraid of the question,” he confessed. *I ‘ that 1 gave little thought to that side Gabriel | e —— e line of 10 ard BOBBDHEHHOFOTODORIDITREG SO Db dd P BOPNPIPOHO back.

Situated as it is, would it not make a wonderfully beautiful home for tired working people? Leave the mahogany doors, and the Italian marble mantelpieces, and the lovely garden. Poor people crave such beau- ties, and—" Gabriel Lynn put out a protesting hand “1 understand now,” said he gently. “l am ashamed—and I thank you,! Miss Dexter. 1 am going now to visit my uncle’s room and become acquainted with him.” He held out his hand. When he had gone she sat there with a deep pink dyeing her cheeks. “What impertinence from the care- taker's daughter'” she laughed shak- ily. “1 am very much afraid if father had not already resigned that we would all be driven from this Eden!" A half hour later she saw him into a climbing the hill toward the ceme- & tery which Gabrie]l Lynn had beauti- fled. A curious smile curved her lips. The next morning Mr. Dexter tossed 8 letter across the breakfast table. “Mr. Lynn has changed his mind about tearing down the house he said. “He has some philanthropic | scheme in view and wants me to as- ' sume charge of the matter at a salary that 1 can hardly refuse. “What do you say, my dear?”’ | Mrs. Dexter had much to say in praise ot the change of plan, but Fern was very silent.

This timg her eves showed no dis- like of him. On the contrary he was emboldened to take her hands. “Dear,” he said, “every man needs a good woman to point the way for him.
