Sophia dally assured her brother linger that wi re It not for her capable care Mother Case would long ago have departed this life. Certain It was flint Sophia's faithfulness knew no tiring. Sophia had also managed Roger throughout his growing manhood. All thought of marriage for himself was discouraged, and 1 ossible attachments avoided. Roger was the sole support of the home, and ivlnit right hud hi— so he mentally questioned—to de press a young woman's life by bring Ing her into these surroundings. And Roger, notwithstanding his while hair, was still young and good to look upon. Returning at evening from the per plexities of his great business concern, he was wont to be entertained by So phia's recitals of her trying day and his mother's fractious complainings of her tiresome lot. And when life :'P peared to be stretching forth Into but troubled repetition of days a breath of springtime floating over the veran da pailtigs caressed the old mother's face. “I am going out for n time, mother,” Sophia said, “and Nellie will be near to wait upon you. Mother Case closed her eyes and grunted as her solicitous daughter whisked away. Nellie till- maid ehatted happily on the rear porch with Bob, th*- chauf feur. But beneath her closed lids Mother Case was seeing memory pic tures brought back by that caressing spring breeze. Herself a pretty conn- try maiden, in print gown and sunbon net—roaming tile fragrant fields in search of violets. Mother Case opened her eyes in a flutter of excitement—and there be- fore her, smiling at her over the ve randa rail stood a replica of the girl of Iter fancy. "I did not mean to awaken you,” said the girl, "but you seemed 111 and I thought—” Mother Case looked eagerly Into the glowing face framed by a pink sun- bonnet ; her eyes, no longer tired, fol lowed the Hues of the girl’s pink entn- brie dress. “Where «ere you going?" she asked abruptly. The girl smiled. “To hunt violets,” she replied, "in n thicket Just beontl those trees.” The pink vision hesitated. “Would you like nte to bring some back to you?' Mother Case grappled suddenly with her cane. "I am going with you,” she an- nounced. “Could you bear my weight on your shoulder?' “Why, yes," the girl agreed. Anil like a happy child the world- weary old woman entered Into the gnifie of her fancy. Sophia returning at evening founl her mot her complacently resting in her l.~. chair. “Nellie should have taken you up stairs," she complained. It was several days later when she brought her new concern to her brother. “I don't know what has got Info mother." Sophia said. “She eats well ami sleeps like it child, and I often hear her chuckling to herself. She's actually good-natured. Do you sup pose. Roger, tliut she may be going to die?” "A new lease of life, more likely,’ Roger suggested.

"When Miss Case went off for the afternoon. Now she's gone Boh and I searched the house an' th< gardens tin’ how Mrs. Case could get away alone we don't see, but—she's gone."
