we didn't appreelnte the old town dur
ing the hnjipjest period of our lives."
"Wish we'd .stayed there," declared
nix-piaMton. "Von got lvstless, nnil 'me

Well, we've had twenty years of. It.

but who knows what luck might have

"I haven't even heard from Bockton

you stop there?"
"I didn't but I met old Ezra Perkins
on the train. Ho gave me all the news.
You know It was Gib Reeves who

and, according to Kzra, just rules the

about tho district. Then there's Mort

"Still In Rockton, Is lie?"
"Largely, conspicuously; you know
he superseded ine In my- drug store

weok. Ills old boss died rich and
Sawyer married his daughter, Xnude.
Why, come to think of It, sho was your
early llnnio, wasn't she?"
"A pretty girl and a smart one," re
plied Burt, his eyes showing the
glamour of memory.
"Well, she Is now the richest woman
In the county. Just think of the luck
Sawyer fell Into!"
"I have half a mind to put In my
fourteen days at the old burg," re
marked Burt thoughtfully.
Somehow Marstou's reports of." the
success In life o Reeves and Snwfcer
made Burt thoughtful. Not that, he
was envious, but It rfppeared to hlin
that fate had not boon very kind to
either himself, or Mnrslon, nud yet
they certainly had sturted out In life
with better educations and , business
riblllty thnn those successful rivals In
the nice for succesV. Burt was not
disloyal in the slightest dqgroe when
he recalled the bright, sprightly Nance

felt dlssatisffVd ns he 'realized thnt his
-city-bred wife had boen obliged to do
without nil the luxury and ease that
of course the, Inherited wealth of the
rich druggist liml brought to his
daughter. As to Reeves, too, he felt a
twinge of restlessness, for had he not
himself blocked out a legal career, but
circumstances had drifted him Into an
other lino.
"Yes, I'll take In Rockton," decided
Burt, and ho did. About tho only per
son who remembered und recognized
him when he reached the town was
antiquated, gossipy old Doc Kendall,
the proprietor of the one pioneer
hotel of tho place, which Burt found
was just us musty and dilapidated as
In his boyhood days. Rockton Itself,
If anything, was more dead tiitm'of
yore. It seemed to bo asleep half the
time.
Doc Kendall got Burt In a corner
and began to pump lilm as to his his
tory since he hnd left Rockton twenty
years previous. vTho old gossip lived
on curiosity and talk and ontored with
zost Into Burt's affairs.
"Five thousand n year, a steady job,
four children nnd n happy wife, eh?"
he commented. "Well, I call that top
notch, Burt."

"I should say so! Why, look at tho

"Why, I hoar that Gib Reeves has

"Ho! hoi" snorted Kendall, seeding,
"All front and frasjde. What's a.dls
trfct Judgu In Mucon county, winy
how? Gib Is what he always Wjts, a
groat big balloon all Josh and lirag.
Say, I'll wager lie has his home mort
gaged up to the limit and yet he struts
about as if ho owned the town."
"And Mort Sawyer?"
"Oh, poor old Mort 1 Quick! There
