(Oopyrtght, 1018, Western Newspaper I'nton.)
Elizabeth left her plncc before the
tyiiewriter on tho doctor'n desk to wel
come n timid pntlent, who waited In
the doorway. Hut presently Bho was
buck ngnln, telephones and buzzers
scorning to call her on every side. And
one could not know that the girl who
responded so tirelessly and cheerfully j
was longing In her very soul to bo j
awny from It all away from tho ro-;
cllal of aches and pains, from tho
hurry anil noise of tho business world.
As If borno on a drifting breeze
came a sweet memory of grandmotli-
er's home In a country town. Her child- i
Ish vacations had been spent there, j
and Elizabeth hud never forgotten thq
magic joy of those times. Some time
sbc bad hoped to go bnck to brighten,
perhaps, her grandmother's declining
years, but word came that grandmoth
er had passed beyond thnt need. So
tho old homestend would bo desolate
forsaken. )
Elizabeth supposed that the salo of
tho property would barely cover a
well-remembered mortgage, after nec- i
essnry debts were pffld. But today ns
she returned from encouraging the ,
timid patient n long envelope lay face '
upwnrd on the doctor's desk. It was
addressed to herself and when Eliza- I
both had perused dts Intricate word
ing sho found this same old property
to bo hers absolutely by grandmother's
will.
There had been extra money, It ap
peared, to meet those other demands.
Elizabeth, her dark eyes widening be
neath the gold-brown hair, stared at
the written document and moved Im
pulsively toward tlfe doctor's private
olllce.
"You must let me go," sho told him
when he had rend tho paper. "I want
to see what I can do with grandmoth
er's old place."
"Raise chickens and live by your
self?" laughingly queried the physi
cian who had been her father's
friend.
"Oh do you thinl: that I could?"
she asked.
Later when she passed down tho vil
lage street Inquiring glances followed
her graceful figure. But Elizabeth was
all unaware. She was living again In aKKaKaKaKKKaaK
lancy uie juippy uuja m imu
old house at the end of tho road. K
But as sho passed Inside, regarding g
nil those famllar objects which were
now her own, Into the girl's heart I
camo a passion of longing for posses-
s.Ion, to live here, to have n real H
home. Somo ono would give her com- it
panlonshlp surely If sho could but
'keep tho old place up. I ft
'.'now could thnt be done?" sha
asked herself wearily, sinking Into tho .
soft denths of one of grandmother's j
chnlrs. The dreams and longings of j.j
thnt confident girlhood came poignant- t
ly back In tho atmosphere of grand- H
mother's home the great house re- j.
paired and beautiful, the garden won-

In tho background of the very young it

"Repeat that last passage," ho com
manded, nnd Elizabeth, glancing about
absently ns though still under a Bpell,
obeyed.
When sho turned around upon tho
plr.no stool tho strango man stood over
her searching her face excitedly,
"Your own composition?" ho asked.
"Why yes," Elizabeth replied won
