With this exchange of civilitics the two friends kiaaed and parted. A few momenta later Elaine sat down at her desk and wrote the fol- lowing letter ’ which Hortonaeb questions had inspired:

"Dear John McNeil]: Here's a let- ter from ‘the pesky brat‘ (you once called mo that!) who used to ad- mire you a0 extravagantly—time out hurt while you look for my name at end of lotter-

"The ideals this. I'm at college at Clraycnstle now and am plan- ning to run off during fall vacation for a visit to mother's old home which used to be, and I hope still is, the house next door to you. I had such fun there when I was a. kid that I've always wanted to go back. Just a whim, but I can't seem to get away from it. I suppose it will be a disappointing visit aince we can never recapture the old childhood spirit, but at least I'm going to at- tempt it. It would help a lot to tind one familiar face there besides Penny's. In short, when I arrive will you come through the althea hedge and greet me in the old gar- den? I'd adore seeing you again and talking over old times. You'll flnde me aged though not decrepit.

“Otherwise the same Elaine Chalmers. '

“P. S. (Of course there would have to be one.) Do you remember how you turned out the entire neighborhood to look for your Eagle Scout badge? Well, I had stolen it for purely sentimental reasons. I hid it in the old globe in the lib- rary. Maybe it's still there. E. C. (unrepentant) "

When she had addressed the en- velope she lookcd through her desk for a stamp, failed to find it, swore softly and lighted a. cigaret. Pres- ently she noticed the time, picked up her Italian grammar and saun- tered out to her next class.

The letter to John McNeill was to lie on her desk for a. few days unnoticed. Until Fate was ready for

Having made her decision to i in, she ‘resolved to cnJoy her stay to the fullest. The stage was act for n fortnight which ahe had every rea- son to believe would be the happiest of her life.

True, there was the possibility of Elaine Chalmers appearing on the scene. but this was remote. The girl had, of course, written Penny that she was arriving "ln a. few Weeks." Penny's eyes had hardly de. ceived her on that point. “I'll be 8on8." thought Ruth, "with a week or two to Spare. I'll have had my little IIIBBQUETB-dc, and no harm done-unless maybe m my own heart! I'll leave a note behind me, 58111118 forgiveness. And that's all there'll be to~ that."

‘Fheyother cloud on the harlzon, PBBHH "queerness." Ruth dismissed alas. Aside from the matter of the blue 11001‘. Penny seemed normal and reliable. Ruth had enough nat- ural curiosity to wonder about the old woman's strange regard for her freshly-painted door. but intuition never turn detective.

The old woman came to the door, coffee-pot in hand and beam- ing with pleasure. "Mercy me, Miss Raine! I remember they used toning that song at your birthday parties. And now you're singin’ it special for niel"

Ruth smiled absently as she rose from the piano and kissed the old woman's withered cheek. She said, “We used to sing it at Sunday School-too, Penny." she was think- ing of the last time she had heard it. The children in her Sunday School class had sung it on hen 12th birthday and she- was sup posed to respond by dropping 12 pennies into the class bank. The cousin with whom she was living at the time had failed to supply her with the meager handful of copper pieces which would have saved her pride, and Ruth had stood blushing and pulling at her hankderchlef while the children stared. . . . She came back from the past and smiled at the atten- tive old woman.

While Ruth was eating, Penny brought up the subject of clothes. She said, Miss Elaine, if you don't want to wire back icr your clothes—to school or home or whenever you forgot and left ‘em --there's somethin’ else we might do about it. We might find you something in the storeroom. That box your mother sent for Saint Stephen's rummage sale last spring got here too late. The ladies were right put out knowing what good things your mother always sends. When it finally got here I dragged it up to the storeroom. It's not been opened "

“Ohi" said Ruth, her eyes spar- kling .“Do yousuppose any of the clothes would fit me?"

“You mean are there any of your clothes in the box, Miss Elaine?" asked Penny, puzzled. .

"Yes," answered Ruth. She would have to watch herself.

"Why, half of ‘em at least in yours, Miss Elaine, I mean it's al- ways been that way. Finish -off you breakfast and we'll go up and soc what's there." ‘

The “8t0ffl00m" proved to be one of the big. unused bedroom: on the second floor. It was in a state o: riotous disorder, but the smell of moth balls attested ‘to Penny's 91118810 t0 keep the room

her knew the burden she bore with such fortitude and patience and for such aflcng period. To one hynat- ure so ambitious as she, only that power that ccmeth from above could meet her need, or impart that submissiveness of mind to say "Not as I will, but as Thou wilt."

Though a “shut in" for so many years, she took a. kzen inierest in the activities. of the church and community.

She was the daughter of Alexand- er and Isabelle Kcnntdy (nee Isa- belle McLaren) and was born at Lot 48, on December 11th, i857. At the age 0i’ eight she moved with her parents to Brudenell, where she remained until her marriage. She was the youngest daughter of a famfly of eight, five brothers and three sistersfall of whom prede- ceased her.

She was united in marriage to Mr. Melvfle MacDonald, Kings- boro, P.E.I. in i883. To this union were born five children, four daughters and one son.

She is survived by her four daughters, Lillian, Mrs. J. H. Baker, North Lake, P.E.I.; Ethel, Mrs. seldon McLean, Kirigsboro. P.E.I.; Dorothy, Mrs. Charles New- man, Iethbridge, Alta; Charlotte, Mrs. Percy Williams, Calgary, Al- berta; Edward lnnary away in 192'! and her husband fa 1018.

Funeral services were conducted at the home of her daughter, Mrs. J. H. Baker, North Lake. Mr. J. E- Dingwell and Mr. Pied Rose oill- ciating.

At the South Lake Church her pastor, Rev. H. R. Bell took charge. After the service inter‘- uient was made in the famllyplot in South Lake cemetery. Much sympathy is felt for tho four daughters in their loaa ofn. faith- ful and devoted mother to whom they had given so much care and attention through all those years.

The pail-bearers were: Messrs. Lloyd Roe, Fred Rose, Harding Fraser, Ernest Morrow, William Baker, Hudson Morrow.

There were two evening dram; on top. One was shell-pink velvet, the other was cream-colored lace. "Oh-hi" breathed Ruth. and held them 11p in front of her. The vel- vet. she saw. was‘ cut with a. deep back decollete. The lace frock had puffed sleeves, a tiny round collar and brilliant buttons down the front of the tight bodice. It was torn a bit in the flounce, but half an hour with a. careful needle would restore it. Ruth caressed the

pretty things with trembling hands- "Hereis a coat," said Penny,

dragging out s. woolen and casting it aside. "You need that—"

"Don't I!" said Ruth in a tight voice. She saw that it we; a blue winter sport suit with three-quar- ter length coat and a round, trick- ily cut, gray fur collar. In the box were two contrasting skirts to go with it and several amart sweaters. The sweaters needed only a ten- der dcusing in soap flakes and a few skillful stitches to make them perfect again.
