He opened It, read It nnd exclaimed: "That's too bad!" "What's too bad?" usked Billy. "Why, my cousin, Bess nincklcy, who has been at school In Geneva ever since she wns twclvo years old, has come home.

"Will you?" cried Johnny, grasping his chum's hands. "I'll havo to; there's no other way out of It for you." On Saturday morning Billy met the train on which Miss Hinckley arrived. Seeing a pretty girl answering to Johnny's description of his cousin look ing wildly about for somo one, he walked up to her and asked: "Cousin Bess?" "Yes how you havo changed from the llttlo boy I used to play wlthl" "I've nn auto outside," said Billy. "Let mo take that wrop." Billy led her to the auto. They got In and sailed awny.
