Finally the two girls and good- i

by. they'd had a wondertul time, thank you so much - they were gone. Remembering that he had not yet so much as opened the day's mail piled on his desk. Mr. 1-iulme stepped out and walked briskly along the gravel driveway toward his office in the Academy building.

Some one was coming towards him. He looked around to see Susan Barney. She had taken oi! her hat. and as she walked was swinging It in one ungioved hand. Her forward motion set her hair stirring and lifting around her face like a cloud. Mr. Huime

thought cooiy or something he must be sure to say to her betore he target it. and called, "Oh, &lsan, wait a minute." He took all his hat, looked dosm at her, and said with kindness, "You

lmorw,l told you yesterday that I seldom could make any kind of guess about what young people are like? well, as far as your sister Delia goes. I was mistaken. I had a little talk with her this alter- noon while you and my aunt were in the kitchen. and I was struck with her brains. She's an unus- ually bright girl."

Susan cried out his name. turn- ing it Into an exclamation or de- light. "Oh, Mir. Hulmel" she said krvently.

she gave him. out of her beauti- ful gray eyes, the long. melting. intimate look which once before had so deeply moved him; but now it was-cut short by a rush of happy tears.

0 C It was well towards the middle 1! November when Timothy

1-lulme sat down next to the old man one evening. instead or by Mrs. Washburn to whom as a pen- ance he had been pointedly kind for tour or five weeks. "it is real- ly true." he cast out his line to- wards Mr. Dewey with a carefully baited hook. "that as many as iltteen or twenty families used to live up on the Crandaii Pitch? Ourious, isn't it. a whole com- munity evaporating that way? lTow'd they ever happen to set- tle. so tar away?"

"Far away from what?" Mr. Dewey flung himself unsuspecting- ly upon the bait. "They settled there because they had sense enough to know it was a good place to live. Why, let me tell you. T. 0.. that's one 01 the best pieces of land in this town. Not a sour square inch In it. And up high that way. between the two moun- tains, theyld get a full hour more

sunshine both ends of the day than anywhere else in Clifford Far away nothingl"

Miss Lane asked. ”I'vo always wondered. Mr. Dewey. why they did leave the Pitch?"

Mr. Dewey looked unsmillngly back into the past. "All kinds 0! reasons. Women-folks mostly. I

where

guess. They wanted to be tradin' any tlmg they took a ac- tion to."

"I've heard my grandmother Isy."'Miss Lane added reasonably, "that when the Academy was started down here . . . "

"We-e-cii. ycs. that was another thing," Mtr. Dewey admitted.

As Susan Barney stood up and the dishes to- yther tn carry out to the kitchen. Mr. l-luime said to Mr, Dewey. loudly enough to be heard by ev- erybody. "Well, I now have a per- sonal interest in the Crandall Pitch. I've. just bought a house up on the road that used to go to It. Thought it was time i had a place of my own like the rest or you. The last house on the road. Right- hand side as you go up."

He turned his head from one to another as he spoke, looking steadily at them although he was intensely conscious or Susan be- hind thcm standing silent at the door of the kitchen. a pile of plates in her hand. But now he could control his syncs no longer. looked past his questioner: at her -and could not look away.

She was smiling at him, ing as if they were alone room.

The Manual Training tr-alcher had an idea. "But Isn't that the house where. Miss Barneys grand- father-wherc she was brought uprv

"Why, so '15s!" Mr. Dewey was struck by th . ”Su.tan!" hc roar- ed. "Susan! Listen to this. Come here a minute.
