Marietta, without waiting- fur I ho end of the monologue, had opened the door. ; "Here's a package for you," snld the man from the station, grinning end pointing to tho small hoy on the door tep, "he's labeled to Mm, Jordan." The girl stared at the small figure lit astonishment. "I'm Ned and I'm a birthday present to grandma and I'm hungry," he snld, with no recognition jot the need of pause or punctuation, rawing very nine eyes, to moot ners earnestly. "I guess he'll have to come In," said the girl lit bewilderment. "I don't know anything about him, but may I Aunt Ann does." Mrs. Jordan, waiting lit the kitchen door, gave a gnsp of terror when she aw the small fine under the lent her allor cap. "Hobble." she whimpered faintly. "No; I'm not named Bobble.

It was lilld, her child, sot'inod miraculously restored to her. Hrlnglng her glasses from a corner of the dining room mantel, she opened the letter. , FOUR GIRLS BO "I shall not lire to see your birthday, mother, but lit tie Ned will be wttb you, and you en n't help loving him. Ills mother has been dend a year. The dwtof says he will sea that tho boy gels to you safely. And, mother, If' you will only love him and forget those lust few yours" 1 The woman tunned ber head on the table, and deep sobs convulsed her. Marietta, coming dowustulrs with an Immaculate little boy by the bund, saw through the front window some one who caused her to run hastily to the door, "Cunie to the steps a minute, John." she called softly. "I was afraid I wouldn't get the chance to see you to day. I've determined to any 'Yos,' even If Aunt Ann doesn't give her consent She seems to liave a horror of people gutting married. It s getting unbear able. I wanted her to suy I might marry you, but I'll do It, anyway." John Terry's strong hand closed on hers convulsively. "Will you wear a veil and carry a big bouquet?" eagerly asked the child, overlooked by them both. The man Inuiihed good naturedly, "ueuo, youngster, where aid you come from? Yes, she can huve the veil and bouquet, and mnybe there will be long trnln that you cim walk be hind and carry Just ItUo the picture of the princess and her little page.

Terry gazed at the girl meaningly. "So? The old lady has relented at last, has she?" "I don't think It's that" the girl an swerod sortly, "I think Cousin Robert Is-diwid.

Tell him to come In and hart breakfast with us. It's awfully lucky to have a man caller on your birthday. I'm forty-nine years young," she added, with a laugh that held a sob. "And I'm going to start In the Ar ties right. You might as well let John come on In. I'll bet, he'll spend most of the year with you anyhow." Terry, laughing, took the girl's arm and led her to the dining room. "She's going to be married, and I'm going to carry her train for ber, grand ma." aald the child excitedly. "All right, nobble; come, sit in this chair by grandma, and let those peo ple that ore ao much In love with each other alt by each other." The child cllmlwd into the chair and i looked at her reproachfully. "1 should think If I was your own little boy you wouldn't forget my name." he said. "Yea.
