Sully B irch glanced curiously a t the
house set buck am ong the drooping
elms. H e r a u n t .saw th e glance and
talk ed volubly.
"You rem em b er I'v e w ritte n you
ab o u t th e m an who h as tak en th e old
H avelock place?"
“Yes," replied Sally.
“ You called
him a n old m iser. R eally, A u n t Janet
does he co u n t his gold in a d u sty , cob­
web! »ed room ?"
“ F iddle!" sn o rted J a n e G ray. “Of
course he d o esn 't do th a t! B ut he is
so stin g y he w o n 't give a cent to w ard
an y ch arity , an d he even sta y s aw ay
from church.
F olks say he is too
r • ii to p u t a penny in th e co n trib u ­
tion bqx."
Sally laughed indulgently. "I'o o ro M
n in!" she said. “ If he really knew
w h a t his neig hbors said nbout him do
you suppose he w ould sum m on pride
to his aid a n d give som ething?"
“ I'm su re he w ould not," asserted
June, w ith em phasis. “H e's been a p ­
pro ach ed by every one. 1 even w ent
th e re m yself!"
“ And he re fu sed ?” asked Sally.
"Yes. H e said. 'M adam , if I could
see my w ay c le a r to co n trib u te to w ard '
your ch u rch expenses I w ould do so.
bu t I ca n n o t afford it.' I said to him :
‘Mr. W orth, d o n ’t conceal y o u r nig ­
gardly n a tu re behind a lie. A ny one
who can afford to re n t th e U uvelock
place m u st be a rich m an .’ ”
"W h a t did he say th e n ? ” questioned
Sally.
" l i e grew very red. an d I d o n ’t w i n ­
der, an d he said n o th in g w h a te v e r, for
I d id n ’t give him an o p p o rtu n ity . I
cam e a w a y .”
Sally glanced once m ore th ro u g h the
gatew ay. T h ere w as a g a rd e u e r m ow ­
ing th e velvety law ns. F rom over th e
hedge cam e the rich, sw e e t sm ell of
lily o f th e valley.
“ W hen I w as a little girl I used to
slip Inside th e g a te and pick lilies of
th e valley.” said Sally rem iniscently.
“T h a t w as w hen th e H av elo ck s lived
here.” in terp o sed Jan e . " T h e re h av e
been m an y changes since you ca m e to
visit m e fifteen y ea rs ago. T h e H a v e
locks h av e becom e m illionaires am i
rarely com e to L vndbridge. I w a s su r
prised to learn "they b ad ren ted the
place.”
S ally’s blue eyes w a tc h ed th e v a n ish ­
ing fo rm of th e g ard en er. T h e clatte"
of th e law n m ow er died aw ay in the
distance.
“You go on. A unt J a n e ." said the
girl. “ I'm going to get som e lilies. 1
shall be borne utm ost as soon ns you
are." sho auded us th e trim little lady
protested. “ liven if he is a m iser 1
am su re old Mr. W orth w on’t i ind
my hav in g a few flowers. P robably

I'm su re b u tte rc u p s a n d dandelions

color of gold, you know .”
Sally w aved a lau g h in g farew ell an d
slipped through an opening in th e tall
clipped hedge.
“Oh!" she crie d sh arp ly , for a m an
