"I wiiii t to see you married uml set
Meil down In life before I pass uwuy,"
spoko old .lured Mllss to lils favorite
nephew, uml (lie latter looked .startled
at the suggestion.
"I shall think It over seriously, '.
cle .lured," replied Hansom Bliss, hut
vaguely.
By a strange coincidence at almost
that very hour Mrs. Walter Morse was
talking over nlTalrs with her niece,
Elsie BrJggs.
"I promised my sister, your mother,
when Hhe died," she said, "that you
should never need n home. My hits
band Is to represent the firm employ
ing him In far western Canada; mean
while what are your plans, dear?"
Elslo looked serious, hut not dis
tressed. Hhe had been given a sensi
ble, praetk'al bringing upj and had
nlreaily thought over the future. Mrs.
Morse listened Indulgently as Elsie
spoke of going to the city and earn
ing her own living.
"You two have been so good to me. I
must not further burden you," slio
said. "I am sure 1 can earn my own
way, Aunty."
Mrs. Morse grew very thoughtful.
Then, nfter a long pause, she said: "I
would like to see you married, with n
Rood man for a husband and a home
of your own," but Elsie shook her
head smilingly.
Two evenings later as Elsie sat on
the porch Ransom Illlss appeared. Ho
and Elsie had been friendly acquaint
ances for over a year, and the latter
looked puzzled and then embarrassed
as Hansom, after some casual con
versation, moved his chair diner to
wards her and said:
"I came on a special mission this
evening. Elle. It Is to ask you If you
will marry me."
Elslo flushed quickly and her voice
was a trifle unsteady as she said with
out the least trace of affectation:
"I never expected that you you "
"Cared for you, Elsie? Yes I.oved
ynuV No. True affection N too sacred
a thing to In- named lightly. 1 am
plain-spoken man. There I-. no worn
.ii whom I more deeply respect ami ad
mire, and 1 would be proud to call
you my wife. I will devote my life
to make you happy."
ENI sat with eyes cast down nnd
fluttering secretly ut heart. She did
not reply on Impulse, nor for a long
time. Then, evenly enough, she
Bpoke :
"I feel that you have honored me,
Mr. Bliss, and I appreciate your clear,
honest words. We have always been
good friends. I shall be frank with
you in turn. You -say you do not
love me, und I cap confess for you
nothing deeper thiyi esteem. I am
poor, humble, and will soon be home
less. I would not have you later re
gret that I can be nothing mure to
you than a loyal, helpful wife, who,
however, can never forget that In a
measure, this would he a marriage of
convenience."
And so they were wedded, and, after
the death of his uncle, Hansom Hllss
nnd his bride took up their residence
at the old family home. They settled
down Into their new life more like
partner- than wedded mates. In all
thlngi Haie-om was eonsld -rate and
courteous anil Elsie was a model house-"
keeper, nnd all that reject nnd
thoiightfulness could suggest. Never
was there a Jar or misunderstanding.
Many a time, however, as he looked at
the beautiful girl, like himself engaged
In rending, I!nnoui realized that she
was possessed of rare womanly quali
ties, while Elsie, In turn, when alone,
sighed drearily, acknowledging his per
fection as a man among men, and she
was at variance with the compact they
had made.
There came an unexpected separa
tion a little later. The presence of
Hansom was required In settling up
some business of the estate at Abing
don, 21 miles distant. Tor the first
few weeks he came home over Sunday,
but finally bis nbsem e ran Into a full
month. Elsie a- wretched. An Im
pulse ciinip over In r to at least see
him. A trolley line ran to u junction
half the distance end then Joined an
other line. Hhe reached It about eight
o'clock In the evening to wait for the
Intersection ear. From Abingdon
there arrhed a ear branching off and
n passenger alighted to wait for a
connection. Ho came Into the dimly
lighted Hi t lo station. Elsie recognized
him as her lui-lmiul.
"Why, Ehjlel" he spoke In surprise.
"I must tell yor the truth," she said.
"I was lonely without you. Iviis go
ing to visit Abingdon, If It was only
to see you at a distance."
The man drew a deep breath, "And
I," he said In tones that thrilled her,
"only sought to look through the, win
dow of our home and see If you were
well and happy."
"Happier now than I ever lmvo
been." she luentlieil raplly, for his arm
hud stolen about her waist.
"Elsie," he cried, "call It be pnsslblo
that we made a mistake In the past?"
"You iniiiii " jf
"In deeming that we wired for each
other as only casual acquaintance:)
might."
"It has grown Into something deep
er than that with me," she whispered
tenderly.
And the surety of n flifit and lasting
lovo engulfed the satisfied soul of the
lonely man.

(Copyright, 1919, by th Wtittrn Ntwe
papar Union,)
Martin Woleott, bachelor, moved
from Elsie to Clyde because he was la
debt. Mrs. Allhca Burrows, widow,
remained In the latter town for tho
samo reason. The coincidental Bind
larlty as lo motive and environment
went still further. Both were regard
ed as above the uvcragu ns to wealth
or the prospect of It. A third circum
stance In this chain of scquenco waa
the fact that .ludge Alward Marsh, who
had been Mrs. Burrows' attorney for
ten years, became likewise the legal
udvlser of Mr. Woleott.
Now neither of the two named made
any pretense to the merest grnze with
opulence. Neither was over thirty,
dud both were healthy, accredltable and
good looking. Common rumor had It,
however, that the fair widow had In
herited u gold mlno out West that
might at any time open Its vast store
of wealth. When Mr. Woleott came
to Clyde there followed htm the report
that when n certain lawsuit he had
been lighting for live years was de
cided, he would become the recipient
of a royal fortune.
Tho facts wero really these: Tho
alleged niliiu had never produced so
much ns an ounce of tho precious
metal, und Mrs. Burrows had leased
the fifty acres Involved for gruslng
purposes at barely enough to meet tar
es nnd water right Installments. As
to tliu lawsuit, Woleott bad expended
nearly all he had In legal fees and
had hopelessly abandoned any antici
pations of success In winning It.
As said, Woleott had come to Clyde
because he was In debt. Not that his
Lisle creditors were manifesting any
collection- pressure, for he was a fa
vorite with everybody, but, finding
himself growing poorer and poorer, ho
resolved to gel down to real work.
He was a specialist In cattle diseases,
and Clyde was the center of a Iurgo
rich farming district.
It was at the ollh u of Judge Marsh
one day that Martin Woleott met tho
charming widow. The observing old
Jurist's eyes twinkled as he sensed n
mutual liking established between tho
two. It got to be mi that Woleott be
came a weekly IsIlor at the Burrows
home. They were vastly pleased with
each other and the prospective match
met with the approval of thelrfrlends.
Mrs. Burrows had made somo In
quiry regarding Mr. Woleott. It waa
to receive exaggerated Intelligence as
to the wonderful luws'ilt that would
place him so high above her la the
way of wealth that her heart failed
her. Woleott did the same thing. lie
became deajiondeiit and hopeless whea
he heard about the undeveloped Gel
conda In the Ilockles which would
make of Mrs, Burrows n social queen,
who would naturally disdain tho at
tentions of a poor and obscure Individ
ual like himself.
Woleott began to curtail his calls
upon Mrs. Burrows and the latter In
fluenced by this und a realization of
tho vast gulf between them, tried to
root out the love that might bring only
disappointment and sorrow. They had
not seen one another for two weeks,
when they came face to face In tho
olllce of .ludge Marsh. Each acted as
If their relations were strained. Tho
Judge was not In evidence, but they
decided to wait for hlai. A quick ten
derness permeated the sensitive heart
of the sympathetic widow as she no
ticed that Woleott looked thin and
worried.
"You do not M'em as well as when
I last saw you, Mr. Woleott," she said.
"That Is because I haven't seen so
much of you," replied Woleott
bluntly.
"Is not that your own fault?" softly
Intimated the blushing widow. "Suro
ly you have been always welcome at
my home."
"1 have met with such kindly con
sideration," answered Woleott In u
steady tones, '"I hut I dared not con
tinue my visits because I foresaw that
It could end only In banishment."
"How strangely you speak," the
fluttered.
"Mr.s. Burrows, 1 am a plain nlnn,"
said Woleott seriously. "It will bo no
news to you to know that you arc to
mo tho one woman In the world I re
spect, admire and cherish. It Is only
recently that I learned of your pros
pects of fortune. A poor man, I dared
not presume that you would look up
on me r.s your equal."
"Why, Mr. Woleott," exclaimed Mrs.
Burrows, "who ever gave you such u -ridiculous
Idea. A poor man? It was
when 1 learned of your coming wenlth
that I 'felt that I could never hope
that is"
"Boor man, poor woman," Interrupt
ed .ludge Marsh, bursting Into tho
room radiant. "Mr. Woleott, you lmvo
said enough to divest tho sltpatlon of
any misconception. Mrs. Burrows, you
are too sensible a woman to resent an
old friend like myself saying that
there Is no possible barrier of Inequal
ity, socially or m to wealth, between
you two. I sent for both of you to
rejMirt thnt the pooplo at tho other
end of tho lawsuit aro willing to com
promise for fifty thousand dollars, nnd
that they lmvo discovered gold at tho
mlno and it promises n fortune. Bo
tinppy, my children," laughed the old
Jul 1st gleefully, and ho wnved himself
from tho room, nnd whon ho returned v
half un hour later the glowing faces
of bis dlents told him that there would
soon be a wedding.
