The constable had hardly left the house when Oliver Hillma::. who had been absent-mindedly picking a flower to pieces, got up from his oencn in tne garden. As he entered the common room Cap tain Walling smiled and extended his hand. ' -"Oliver, you've become a strang er, ne saia wun a laugn. "Har vard seems, to have kept you busy."- ' - Aye, yaptaln, it did in fact," the young man said. "What with the studies and duties a "man has little time for much else." "You're a graduate student, I think. Is that so?" "It is, sir. I graduated last year, and since then I've been helping out with the teaching. But that is over now, and I'm back home again." Walling was well acquainted with young Hlllman's father, who owned one of the few paper mills in the colonies. This mill was on a stream of clear, fresh water a few miles from Sudbury. "Are you going to help your father In his mill?" "That is our intention, sir. I know a deal about paper-making already, and I shall go more deep ly into It." This was said stiffly as the young man sat upright in his chair. There was then a pause for a moment. When the silence had become rather thick Captain Walling said, "Is there something that you wish to speak to me about?" "There is, sir," said young Hill- man. Your daughter Harriet. May I call on her and be her I mean be friendly with her?" This was uttered with blushing and hesitation. Captain Walling was pleased, but he kept a solemn counte nance. Young Hillman would be an excellent suitor for his daugh ter, and a most desirable son-in-law.- After some reflection , he said, "Have you spoken to Har riet?" "I have, sir," the young man replied. "Yesterday ,at Mistress Faulkner's. She said she had no objections, and then she said I must ask you or her mother as I expected to do." "Very well, Oliver, I consent, and I speak, too, for her mother." "Thank you, sir."

Oliver Hillman had known Har riet Walling all his life. As chil dren they had played together. But she was now 17 and he was 19. Not only Puritan etiquette but also Puritan law required that he seek the consent of Harriet's par ents before he became her beau. Young women in the' Puritan colonies did not accept the at tentions of a number of beaux. but this does not mean that the girls were kept in a state of nun like seclusion. They went to par ties, to dinners and to other social occasions and met the young men of the neighborhood. For steady company, however, the gallant swain had to obtain the consent of the girl's parents. Otherwise he was likely to be brought up before a magistrate for "inveigling" the young woman's affections. Walling rose and shook hands with Oliver. "Come in any eve ning, my lad, whenever you please," he said gravely. "We shall always be glad to see you " (To Be Continued) STAYS HOME, BAGS DEER Mount Washington, N.
