Vnd yet they were constantly in each

Miller once explained to me the
oasis of their friendship—"something
to argue about,” he said, “and a com

It made ma think. They argued
about everything—religion, literature,
education, polities—everything but
the best sort of tobacco, and on this
point they were quite agreed. While
they argued they smoked, and the ar

v?ry, very lonely. But she told her
self that she had no right to think
of Robert; he was probably married
end settled down long before now In
that far-off land where his company
had sent him.
But, always as Christmas ap
proached she found herself thinking
of him and picturing the home that
might have been theirs together. Aunt
Mabel had been dead two years now,
end since her death Laura had felt
v cry much alone In the world, In spite
of many friends.
But every year at Christmas time
her cousin Vera, a widow of limited
means, came to spend the holidays
with her, aud always at this time she
gave a party for the young people.
And lest any of them might be
thwarted of love and a proposal, ns
she had been, she saw to It that
plenty of mistletoe was In evidence.
8be looked very beautiful now as
she welcomed her guests to her an
nual party. She was one whom years
give new and added charm In recom
pense for the rosy flush of youth that
they steal, and as she walked to the
door to answer a new peal of the
hell, she would have attracted atten
tion anywhere.
Opening the heavy door she looked
without. A little cry sprang to her
lips, for there she saw Robert Bar
rett. A rush of Joy, of wonder, cf
delight, flooded her whole being. Ho
had come—he still loved her—else,
why would he be here?
Steadying herself by the doorway
she hade him welcome, and ns she
recovered from the sudden rush of
joy at seeing him again, her voice
grew cool and composed as she as
sured herself that his coming meant
nothing more than a friendly visit—
that even should he be still unwed, It
would be some one younger, fairer
than she that he would now seek.
He seemed rather 111 at ease, and
he blundered and stammered so when
he spoke, that his voice was alrnort
drowned In the sounds of gay laugh
ter and music that came from be
yond. Then, suddenly, without warn
ing, his arms reached out and he
clasped Laura close and she felt his
kisses upon her lips. He was asking
