Big Tom stood gazing absently!
through the window of his crude office
. in the wood, .ills mother had dlstlti
j guished him by this name, from the
j frail Tom, who was his father. Now
; that both were gone, the faithful sou
I awakened bitterly to a sense of h!&
, own loneliness. With the cheer)
j mother awaiting him each evening In
. the neat cottage home, this busy life
: among rough lumbermen had seemed
j neither profitless nor dull. Big Tom
urenueu poignantly his evenings. He
wondered, if he might not arrange to
leave the work here, and go to a more
companionable field in the city. But
whom could he trust to curry on his
great Interests, which had, grown to
remarkable success? Xo, the life which
lie had been obliged to take up when
.his fathers declining health made
j w-ork no longer possible, must still be
j the life which would hold his l'rettitv.:
I spirit. And as he gazed with somber
! eyes through the opening between the
! trees, he beheld an unbelievable tliinrr:
a girl's figure advancing rapidly to
ward him.
The girl, dropping her suit case be
fore the office door, and sounding n
tentative knock answered the question
To Tom's astonished stare, she gave
a wistful smile. "If you please."
asked the wonder-girl, "will you direct
me to a hotel or boarding house?"
she added at his evident glamv o,'
dismay. "I left the train at the Isixt
stop, and have walked, searching upon
ni.v way. The place is less p ipulated
thin; I thought."
"Come in," said Big Tom, cordially.
Before this girl's diffidence his self
consciousness vanished.
"Why did you come?" Tom asked
abruptly.
The girl's crystal clear eyes met
his frankly. "I came to hide away
from a man," she replied, "and I left
the train at the most Isolated spot I
could find. I hoped," Impatiently she
brushed the tears from her fringed
lids, "to find work here. Stenogra
phy perhaps, nnd support myself."
HIg Tom whistled. "Yon know your
own business of course," he said, "but
don't you think you'd better go buck.
Surely there Is some other way ."
"This Is the only way," the girl an
swered decidedly.
"If It's the ouly way," he suid brisk-!
ly. "and you are determined in It. why.
you may become my typist, this mln-
ute, I'll he almighty relieved to find j
one. Kven In this wilderness I'm a Jiusy !
man. And there's my mother's cot- j
tage, nil ready for yon 'to keep house
In. It will be pleasant to think of j
you there, sort of keeping things go
ing." "And you?" asked the girl breath
lessly, "where will you be?"
"Why, right here," Mr. Tom replied.
"I bunk here now half the time."
So the plan worked out like a happy
fairy tale, and the new arrangement
of 11 (Tali's ran smoothly, as affairs were
wimi 10 run. with lilg Tom's planning.
Tin1 girl hade him call her "Joy:" "He
