Those places contain some of the finest and sweetest characters in the world. “Miss Prudence was one of these. Don’t-laugh at the old-fashioned name, Ellsworth, because she was a real per- son—may be today for all I know. She was one of the loveliest women, both in soul and body in Quontokset. I used to wonder what would happen to her if some real tragedy came into her life. Would she be crushed by it, or would her eyes be opened to the evil | in the world and her relationship to- ward life be subtly altered thereby? It | didn’t seem possible to me that any evil could touch her. | “She was engaged, at about the age of twenty-five, to a worthless, dashing scamp of a fellow named Roach. He | was just the kind of man that wins the heart of a girl like Miss Prudence.

They had been en- gaged a year or more, and Roach had no intention of marrying Miss Pru- dence. Whatever his intcntions may have been in the bevinning, Miss Pru- dence was the dowminant partner. Her t sweetness, her contidence, o far from 1 rendering her a im to him, com- pletely cicarmed him. { "1 believe he had tried to break off { with her once or twice, but he couldn’t do ft.

So he had taken advantaze of the wreck to lye his identity and start a new lire in New York. He pleaded that it was the only way to save Miss Prudence’s feelings. No doubt she would marry somebody else, he said. lle begged Horton not to betray him. “Horten was slow and simple. He had given his promise before he real- ized what it wouid involve. It meant that he must let Miss Prudence live the rest of her under the belief that Roach was dcad.

By this time the two were like brother and sister. “They reached Boston and had lunch together, transacted the busi ness and started homeward, taking the elevated to the North station. Miss Prudence wanted the papers. They went to the paper and magazine booth. | and there, behind the counter, stood Roach. “The :upreme moment had come. Horton did not know what to do. He stared at Roach, who had turned the color of chalk, and both were waiting for ss Prudence to leok up at Roach.
