John Ruggles swung about In the re volving chair before his desk, to gaze over the high roofs beneath the glaring July sun. There It was again, that evasive memory of something, sweet and half forgotten! Whnt had hnp Imrted to him In his heretofore satis fied middle age, that vague longings should reneh out from the pnst? Business and Ita success hnd for years absorbed him, blotting out all thnt had been before, mnklnc wealth alone bis goal Now, wealth was achieved, wltal hnd It brought him? Lllllns bad dropped out of his life so long ngo he hnd lost regard for her when she hnd chosen In preference to himself a sort of wnnderlng nnmnd for a husband. Will hnd been a dreamy Idealist, while he. John toggle, ovfm In thnt long ago, showed unmistak able business promise. It was In his youthful engineering rapacity thnt he hnd visited the little village almost burled beneath Its en circling hills. MlllBS had met him In the quaint flower garden of her home, and It had been Will who took him there. Will, who, Inzlly curious about John's work, had made friends with the engineer upon thp highway. Will had been kind to the stranger, hnd made It pleasant for him In the lone ly village, offering the hospitality of hia own small home. John Rnggtes hnd been glnd tn ac cent. There were valuable hooks on the crude shelves of Will's one roomed hnhllntlon Interesting curios from all pniHs of the world end Will had tnk en him to see Mlllns; when the engi neer looked Into the girl's rnre hlue ball ajrra ha decided to remnln Indefin itely In the village. Decided calmly. In win her frmn the fnnn whom she loved nnd mnke her his own, nnd Jrihn Ruggles had failed: that was all. Then he went hack to the great city where bluebell eyes nnd fair faces are "but a thing apart." and not "tunn'e whole existence." Many women hnd come end gone In John Rngglea' life since that youthful time, and he bad been content tn let them go; without companionship of women his life seem ed complete. Rut now Across the tall chimney tops ro mance called to him. flaunting a mem ory not unmixed with pain, of a graaa grnwn village street, a quaint old gar den aet back behind a cedar hedge : and about the garden In his memory Areata moved the girl i.inian. Mm Ruggles tnmed abruptly to press an electric button. He would hu mor his fancy, satisfy this climorlng Impulse, by a walk down that same village street, a peep Into the old gar den which upon actual observation would undoubtedly loae Ita fanciful f I.-. Mllla had married Will; aawaty ; then mnat be her dower. Uncared for women do not a rule grow la at tracttreneea. Reality should forever alienee this tormenting memory, ao In explicably awakened. Rut first he must dismiss the new stenographer whose work his secretary had pronounced hopeless. Again John Rngglea pressed the electric button. It was the secretary who responded. "The new stenographer bad not re ported that day for business," he ex plained, "and her dismissal would bo unnocossnry. Realizing her own un fitness for the position, the girl had telephoned a resignation. Unhnslness llke to the Inst In method," he added smilingly. The grenf man paused rencblng for his hat. "I recall the young person," he said "She possessed at least the quality of respectful courtesy." The secretary bowed. "With n personality quite too diffident for office work," he replied, "ns one could tell from a glance of her eyes." "Her eves," the casual remark came to John Ruggles like a flash of Inspir ation, nere was the solution of his nwnkeiied memory, the eyes of the lit tle stenographer he suddenly recol lected were strsngely like the bluebell "f Lllllns. "Life was unsatisfying." ho told him self as he crossed the marble floor Of the rnllroad station, "wealth, power, what had they to do with happiness the elusive? Where might It be found?" The village street wns unchanged, the familiar houses too, like those of yesterday. Suddenly the mnn drew In his breath while his eves widened ns tf seeing a vision For nhout the rnrden nmveil gracefully a girl In white, and In her bnlr a rose. As he lingered nnbellevlnirlv, she came toward hltn, her hluehrll eyes searching his across the hedge, then she smiled. "Oh ! Mr. Ruggles." his recent sten ographer exclnyned. "you came away out to see me? I wns obliged to resign my position," she added flushing pret tily, "because I hsd too long Imposed. My btrdneea education was too brief to he efficient. I have not been long alone lii the world." Across tbe face of John Ruggles (Insllrd sn understanding light. All at once Its lines of rare seemed erased b) some great Inner (m "Ton," he mnrmured, "are the daughter of 1. lilies?" "You knew my mother?" the girl asked quickly. He smiled "If Is," he answered, "aa though Lllllas herself were her be side me sgaln." The girl threw wide the gate. "I also am Lllllas," she said, snd John Ruggles entered Into the garden.
