Hill Curtis vigorously ii ! 1 the oh Ftubby brush broom to his well-worn huit, then stopped lor a moment to out across the great green liehls. For 50 .years, weather permitting, Bill had watched it rl !oed this time of duy, when the snu was casting its last slanting rays. Tonight he was leaving the home he loved so well ana the man who had )iured Ids home and with whom lie had worked for 30 years. That was the hard part of going. Something Umt looked suspiciously like tears welled up in his honest blue eyes, and lie gazed for a minute at the man at the sink, doing up the supper dishes'. As a rule this man was talkative, hut tonight he was strangely sHent. The arduous task of making an M suit look something like new was Dual ly completed and liill stepped out on the little platform that served as a piazza, lie looked sadly ut the two tiiity arm chairs. "At the end of two days' Journey 1 will he with Mnrcia again," and mice more he could see the Utile white clad figure as he left her Unit last evening. Again he could hear the Knft sobbing as she begged him not to be away long, and Hill held her close as lie whispered: "When I have made the little fortune I liuve dreamed of, then I will come hack to you. And when I do come back, Marclu, It will be In lllac-tlme, Just like It Is today." The first few weAs had been tin tiearable to Hill; then as the months and years passed he fell into that rut of being perfectly satisfied with working hard all day and spending the long evenings with his faithful companion and his pipe. His little pile of money grew blg ser each year until he at last decided It was time to go back to the old home and Manila. His heart beat faster as he pictured the little vision In white, mid he sighed happily as lie again entered the little cottage. Hut his uplrlts drooped when he beheld Jim, Kitting with his head resting In his two hands, a picture of despair, do ing over, he placed his hand on Jim's shoulder and said: "We've spent some very happy years here, old wont, but now 1 must be suing back to Marclu. I wish you ould see her, Jim so email, with vuvy tresses and " "Yes, hut 30 years makes an awful difference, old mun," Jim answered. "Ses, yes," Hill murmured, hulf uu HMitly; "In noma people, but not Mur ofcl." At last the time came when the 'ouirdes parted. Jim drove 11 i II over the two miles to the railroad station, and they silently pressed each other's hand, or neither could speak Just then, Jim drove back to the lonely cot tage, seated himself In Ids arm chair beside the vacant one, and when the big full moon arone Its beams full on tme loiu4y llgure, and an empty chair. In tne meantime the train sped on towards Hill's old home and Mania. Jlis Journey ended at noon two days later, hut as Hill felt terribly roman tic, he widted until the sun was set ting, then Marclu must see him llrst by the llhie hush near her door. As he Honied the house he wished he had kept corresponding all these years; hut then, he felt wire Marclu loved him enough to watch and wojt for him even though It was sixteen years. He was almost at the gale when a Midden fear took possession of him. Things did not look Just right. What if Mania hud gone away, or had died; hut no, he must put such thoughts away. At the gate u piercing screiim reached his ear Just as he was by the lilac tree, where Marclu must see him llrst and two ditty-faced boys came rushing around the corner of the house, the larger one finally overtak ing the other, and they Immediately started a list tight. ( The door of the house opened quick ly, and a woman, one who would eas ily Hp the scales at two hundred, ap peared in a soiled gingham dress, sleeves lolled to her elbows, exhibit ing a pair of fat red arms thickly cov ered with white suds, and the equally jvd face sliow, d plainly she had Just emerged from the family washtuh. Hill rubbed his eyes and looked again. There niiulit .ItM hao been an ordinary double chin attached to that laee, hut full could swear lie saw four, lie also noticed the thin, half rrn locks, twisted into a little hard nt at the : Hi iiiii back of her head. Cni -b- h. he had a n; d if then t b ,1.-. a iii-in In o en id :ti out, 'Minri ,,,, od 1 inner, Mar, a." J lid .M.iivhl was jusj Mart i!- buck for 1 In- kitchen w Ia n -he c-.;eeil the man In the lilac I. tub liaising her voice, -he called out .oiiiiU : "(let aa from Litem lilacs or I'll mil tile i!e.;." Three dais later l'.iil turned the (olner of Ins own little cottage, and pocking through the window, beheld Jim la the net of .setting one single place at the table. "Set it for two, old man," Hill sang out cheerily. "And Jim, when you Mild u lot could happen In 10 years, jou said something." LEGAL NOTICES ..APPLICATION FOP. JUDGMENT.
