Jessamy West was really dead and her home was made desolate. It was noarly a month Iater that Harriet met Norman walking with his two chiMren. He looked pale and for- lorn. She stopped to talk to him. “It was a fearful blow, Harriet,” he sald. “Seems Mke I ahould never re- ocover. But I have my boy and girl left, thank God! Mrs. Barry is keep- tng house for us. It was the best I oould do. My business is in bad shape, and ft takes all my time to attend to " Harriet thought as they parted. “That fat, slow, musay old woman. Those poor bables! And poor Nor- man.” She walked on with her head down and never saw the Rev. Thomas Brooke, . rector of fashionable Christ Church, who gased at her from the other side of the street. It was known to every body in Canton that Harriet Hall could have the Rev. Thomas Brooke for the lifting of a Singer. It was not known why she did not have him. That was Harriet's secrel and she kept ft as religiously as she kept Bunday. Even Miss Jessup, who knew everything, did not know that. Harriet loved Norman West. It had begun in their school days. She never bhad sny reason for loving him, but she did, se strangely and perversely are women made. Three different wen she refused beceuse of him, and now she was about to refuse another. She never expected to marry Norman, but she could not marry anybody else. And she was all of thirty years old. The strange, sad occurrence kept Canton talking for a long time. Miss Jessup had a great deal to say about it to Harriet. “The best thing Norman can do is to get married again quick as ever he can. Of course, I know he’s poor and in debt, but seems like some woman ought to take pity on him. He's a Sme man, Norman West CAT-LONG LIFE 5 DR.

And s0 montbs went by. Mrs. Bar- ry stayed on and Miss Jessup said that the house was becoming a pigpen. But what better could Norman do? Spring came, and summer, and then fall again. Jessamy had been dead a year, Norman looked like despair it- self and the children began to show their neglect. The misfortunes of the Wests were on every tongue.

He wouldn’t be worth proposing to, Har- riet, now, would he?” Harriet laughed again. “Oh, I don't know. That depends. Maybe he was timid or—something, and maybe she saw her happiness going and feit bound to save it if she could.” “I wouldn’t let a woman propose to me, Harriet,” Norman sighed. “Wouldn't you?’ retorted Harriet. “Then please propose to me quick and By Phil Moore save me the trouble, Norman.” “Harrfet!” he cried. “You wouldn't —you couldn’'t—Oh, Harr’s't, you'd not stoop to marry me!” “It wouldn't be stooping to marry you, Norman,” she answered quietly. So they were engaged. And two weeks later they went to the Methodist parsonage and were married. Har- riet's friends would have made her a wedding, but she declined. As for the Rev. Thomas Brooke, the day he heard she was going to marry Norman West he demanded a vacation on account of his health and went away and stay- ed until it was all over. Harrfet took the Wests to her own home, where her housekeeper’s cook- ing soon restored the roses to the neglected children’s cheeks.
