The lady was a woman past forty, the sister o f the father of the chil­ dren. Their mother was dead, and their father at the time was abroad, his little girls being left in charge of their aunt. The home was near a sub­ urban town and a very attractive one. Spring came on, and one o f the chil­ dren needed a change of air. Miss Ashford decided to take them both southward to meet the coming sum­ mer, leaving Julia whj>re she was until their return. One warm morning the governess went out into the grounds with a book and seated herself on a rustic bench supported on either side by a tree. While reading she heard a step on the walk leading from the gate and. look­ ing up, saw a gentleman apparently about thirty-five years old approaching. He paused before her in his walk and said: “ You look very contented and very restful.” “ I am both.” was the reply. “ Will 1 find Miss Ashford at the house?” “ Miss Ashford is away. She took the children to the country for a change of air.” "H ’m.” The gentleman looked about j him, then turned .again to Julia. E. J.
