IT bad always boon Cynthy'i word,
and Lem felt no disposition to

tbelr narrow lives which bis awkward
tongue nd self conscious mind almost
prevented his laying before ber. Cyn
tby was not given to many words ber

to suggest "S'pose we go berrying Sat

justice as far as appearance went It
did not occur to blm that be had been
a goodly sight to look upon even at
that time, for he bad been then as now
tbe seeming embodiment of rugged
health. Looking at Cyntby, be saw
traces of tbe same air of fragility that
bad characterized ber as a child and
seemed to set ber apart from the other
children. He had long known that It
was not an Indication of weak health,
but was duo rather to a certain trans
parency of skin which neither aun nor
wind seemed to affect. He felt Just as
big and overgrown beside ber today as
he bad done yean ago, and Cyntby's
assent to bis latest suggestion bad fill
ed him with the same Dense of wonder
and delight as In tt old time.
lie would have liked to know If Cyn
thy was thinking of those old daya In
tbe aanio way as be w as. He recalled
that In that faraway time he used to
speculate whether that simple word of
assent "S'posln"' caused Cyntby any
of the pleasurable sensations It gave
blm to hear It lie bad never dared
to ask such a question, and be wonder
ed If be ever would. There was a de
lightful possibility that be might, and
bla heart beat higher at tbe thought.
If bo bad stopped to consider that fact,
he would have kuowu It was quite un
necessary, as that organ bad not been
doing normal work for a week past
and before thla last Increase bad been
going to an alarming rate. Indeed,
were there uo prospect of a decrease
even the sturdy frame of Lem Mlnturu
could not long hare withstood Its on

man' mind. There were more dun

the state of his heart. In fact, If ques
tioned, he might bare replied that he
knew It too well to need to give It fur
ther consideration. He was more
alarmed about the condition of another
heart which be wanted for his own.
Thought was ever swifter than
speech with Lem Mlnturn, and now as
he stood beside Cynthy, looking down
at her while she looked off toward tbe
horizon, it traveled over all the little
bypaths of memory the very approach
es to which be had apparently forgot
ten until that day a week ago when he
had Been Cynthy for the first time In
tlx years. Ever since then his thoughts
had been ousy with olden days. He
could recall all the chief events In the
early life of both from the time when
she was a tiny mite In pinafores and
be was a sturdy lad rejoicing in his
first real pockets. There was no break
until she was fifteen years old and her
family had moved away to the city,
where there were more advantages for
the children. He had been seventeen
then and had completed his first year
In the mill.
There she stood, looking so much like
ate
1
T
the old days that ho could almost have
believed tboy bad never boon separated
ixcept for tbe recurring thougbt tbat
be knew not what associations or ties
he might bare formed since last he
saw ber. It might be tbat tho terrible
longing In his heart was never to be
satisfied, and then the necessity for
speech became almost intolerable. It
was because of this that be had spoken
In the old fashion, "Cynthy, s'pose we
tell what has happened since last we
met?"
And Cynthy had not resented tho re
turn to old spieeh or the use of ber
namo, but had answered simply,
"B'posln'," and tarn was not disposed
to quarrel alwiit tbe answer.
But It was one thing to decide to
speak and quite another to find tho
words one wanted. While bo was still
seeking them Cyntby said, "H'pose I
begin r
Gratefully Lcrn accepted tbelr re
verted positions and answered in bis
turn, 'S'posln'."
Cynthy found a comfortable spot and
aat down, wbllo Lent threw himself at
ber feet Then sbe began In a simple,
unaffected way to tell tbe story, which
tbe man eagerly drank in. So much
depended upon that story. It would
either open bis lips or seal them for
ever, and bo knew it He composed
himself to listen, determined that nei
ther by word nor look should he em
barrass ber or make It difficult for ber
to glre blm tbls glimpse of ber life, ne
could not belp wondering if it meant
as much to ber as to blm.
"There Isn't a great deal to ny
story, Lem," said Cyntby. "I did not
know bow fond of tbe old place I was
until we had mored away. Tbey say
tbat those wbo are left behind feel
worse than those wbo go because new
things take up tbe attention. I dare
say tbat is true In a way at least, but
there Is a kind of longing for old
places and old friends that ia worse
than physical pain when It strikes and
tbat only the absentee can feel. True,
It Is not always there. One could not
stand it If it were." Cyntby spoke in a
reminiscent tone, more to herself than
to him, and Lem felt a sort of comfort
In the knowledge that he was not tbe
only sufferer.
"I went to school and gave my whole
attention to my books, as I bad de
termined to tit myself for a teacher.
Somehow I think it alwaya lay back
in my mind that I ahould return here
some day. I will not deny tbat tbe de
sire became less a conscious purpose
than a subconscious dream as tbe
years went by, but about six months
ago it flamed Into a purpose tbat would
brook no opposition."
Here Cyntby paused and fell to
thinking. Lem noted tbe fast chang
ing color now, and bis heart sank a
little. He wondered what had roused
Cynthy to the sudden determination
and whether it boded good or 111 for
him and bis hopes. Every moment
seemed to make it more a matter of
life and death that be should know bis
fate.
With heightened color and eyes tbat
looked steadfastly at the far horizon.
Cynthy resumed her story, apparently
unconscious of the anxious scrutiny of
ber companion. "About a year ago a
young student came to board with us.
As you know, I never had a brother,
and before long we became excellent
friends. It was very nice to have some
one to depend upon, ever ready to do
what one needed, to play escort and
blg brother.' That ws what we both
called it et first But it seemed to
grow to be more, and and why, then,
he asked me to marry him. It was a
aurprlse to me at first but after awhile
I thought I would say yes. Then it oc
curred to me that before tying myself
to a promise that I might not be able
to keep I should see more of life. 1
was not sure I could be a minister's
wife, and besides I did not know
whether I loved blm or not I needed
absence to prove my feeling to myself.
So tbat is why I am here. I applied
for and finally got tbe position of
teacher, and here I am, out wltb yon
just as in the old days, and it hardly
seems as if it could be six years since
then. Does it Lem?"
Something in the question made the
young man's heart leap and the hot
blood rush to his head. He looked
sharply at Cynthy, but she appeared
to be merely wondering aloud, and
hope died down again. But it was time
for bis story now, and, moreover, he
felt as If he could tell it Indeed must
tell it let tbe outcome be what it
might
"It seems to me, Cynthy," he said,
"that perhaps without my knowing it
you have always been a big factor in
my life. I had taken your friendship
as such a matter of course that if I
thougbt of it at ail 11 was as something
that could not be changed. Therefore
your going off to the city that way
was a blow that stunned me. I could
not get used to it I did not once think
of asking you to write to me. In fact,
I could think of nothing but that you
were going. Tbe place seemed mighty
lonesome after you were gone, and I
gave myself up to my work In the mill
as if that, too, would never change.
But It bothered me that you were
going to have opportunities In the city
that would put you away out of my
class. Tbat thought was discouraging
until one day I said to myself, 'Cynthy,
s'pose we both study? And it seemed
to me that I., could hear you say,
'S'posln'.' That settled It. I began,
and after a year or two. during which
I had been steadily advancing in the
mill, I asked this question: 'Cynthy,
s'pose I go away and take a technical
course and fit myself for assistant su
perintendent?' And again you seemed
to answer, 'S'posln'.'
"I talked the matter over with the
superintendent, who had always been
a good friend, ond he heartily approv
ed. Well, a few months later I went
and put In somo bard studying for tbe
next few years. During vacations 1
worked In tho mill and got thoroughly
acquainted wltb Its needs. I have not
known many girls, because I have
been too busy, and well, tbat seems
to be all there Is to it Hire I am in
the position I worked for, and 1 ar
rived just tbe same day you did."
"That Is a coincidence, Is it not?"
said Cynthy as Lem paused. "We ajo
both lucky, I think, to have found
things going our way. Now that yon
bare proved your dream true are you
content?"
"I thougbt I was, Cyntby, until tbe
night I got back; tben suddenly It came
to me that there was something lack
ing." "Isn't that always so wltb dreams
tbat come true, Lem ? It seems to me
that the only happy dreams are tbose
tbat stay dreams," said tbe girl, wltb a
alight sigh.
Lem made no direct reply to this bit
of philosophy. He was in tbe mood of
having bis dreams come true and risk
ing the contentment Tbe suspense
grew unbearable. He must know.
Anything was better than uncertainty.
"Cyntby," be said softly, and tbe gin
started from ber reverie and turned to
ward him. ner face looked pale and
weary, as if life bad lost some of its
charm. It made blm pause a moment
but he gulped hard and spoke again.
"Cyntby, there Is a reason for the
failure of contentment for me. It la a
"s'posih'."
reason so old that I had not recognized
It and at the same time so new that It
brings more pain than joy. Cyntby,
you are the reason."
He paused again and saw the blood
surge up into tbe girl's face. Her
breath came in quick gasps, but she
turned toward him with a look that
was partly inquiry, partly surprise and
some doubt but there was no repug
nance. That encouraged him to take
up bis narrative where he bad so ab
ruptly stopped.
"I love you, Cynthy, but I did not
know it until a week ago. I thought 1
was too busy to care for girls; but
Cyntby, it was because you had all my
heart and I did not know It It was
really for you that I studied and won
my way to success. I was too wholly
a boy when you went away to under
atand what gave me Buch pain to part
with you. But even then I must have
loved you."
He paused for a moment as if to
steady himself for what must follow.
Cynthy said nothing, but she drew
nearer to him as if unconsciously
drawn, and her face was lighted with
a smile tbat even Lem saw was the
outward expression of Inward joy. He
drew her into his arms, and she did
not resist For a moment be held ber
so, while he waited for bis heart to
steady. Then with a twinkle In bis
honest brown eye he turned her face
up to his and before kissing her said,
"Cynthy, s'pose we get married?"
And Cynthy answered, "S'posln'."
He Won't Always Be One.
"I have a clerk," a New York whole
sale merchant remarked tbe other day,
"and he sometimes manages to band
back a rather good one, though as a
rule he is little short of stupid, appar
ently. As a matter of fact, I suppose
he is one of those dreamy sort of
chaps, and you never can tell about
that kind. ,
"I was sorry after I said It," he con
tinued, "but recently be had made a
most unnecessary blunder, and I lost
my temper.
'"I say, Jones,' I sneered, 'you'd
make a pretty good clerk, maybe, if
you had a little more sense r
"He looked at me for a minute with
a sort of half smile. 'Didn't it ever
occur to you, Mr. Brown,' he said,
'that if I had a little more sense I
wouldn't be a clerk at all?'" Chicago
