Llfs out hsrs la prsca . rlous. Jarrls had a tenderness for chll elna. He frowned at the letter as sM read It It was dated July, 1919. jKan would hare been eleven. Good Lord! What an exhilarating letter for a kid of eleven to get from a lather nn the other tide of the world! It must have been about the laat letter he wrote her too. He turned to another: My dsar Kan. X kavs aad your letter, and ths snapshots of you and Cynthia. In Mwsr as your questions you fie aet at all like your mother. X 4an afraid you 'take after my side y sV ths family. Tour mother was very lovely, and everyone loved fear. Wis took lovs and admiration asa right. Cynthia haa a look of And She letters were signed In the same way: Tour affectionate father NIGEL FORSYTH. Somehow Jerrls found them pa' theH1, Outside ot the signature there was not much affection In them. He got a picture ot the man, worried and without an Idea ot what ' to do with two little girls In . America. And he had a picture ot the child whs had hoarded these letters a ehlld who wanted to be like her beautiful mother, and wasn't; who had to shoulder the responsibility which Nigel Forsyth was laying town. It was Nan, obviously, who had to placate Sour aunt," to manage Cynthia, and to bear In mind that aha had got to earn her own living. He was prepared to bet that aha bad to earn Cynthia's Ur ine too. He put the letters back In their envelope and went upstairs. He stood listening at the door be tween his room and Nan's, and then knocked upon It There was no answer. And yet he was quite sure she was not asleep; he had a feeling ' that the whole room was watting to hear him knock again. Instead, he tried the handle, and fonnd, as he expected, that the bolt was fastened on the other side. As the handle moved with a faint creaking sound, he heard the soft padding ot feet and the merost ghost ot a growl. Next Instant Bran was snuffing at the crack. : Be knocked again, a good deal louder, and became aware ot a movement that was not made by Bran. It was a very soft Inaudible movement It suggested to him that Nan was sitting up In bed putting back the bed-clothes Slowly, slow ly. Bran pushed against the panel and snuffed the key-hole. With Hps against the crack, Jerrls aid, "Nan are you awake?" She raid, "Yes," In a whisper. It wss an uneven whisper, and It ' told him for certain that she had "been crying. ' "I didn't mean to wake you." ; There was no answer to this. "I've brought your letters." . Again no answer. He knew that she was leaning against the door. He heard her band slip on the panel, but she did not apeak. He wondered why her hand had moved. It was not to open the door. An Impatience ot her silence gave him a touch ot bravado. "I've oome to ratify the apology. Aren't you going to opeu the door?" Bhe said, "No" or he thought that she said, "No." Atterwards he wondered whether her silence had aald It for him. HEAR TALK AT MEET Enterprise Oisruje met September 10 with Worthy Master Eugene Moore ia Qharge. He turned the Meeting ever to Mrs. Betty mills, worthy lec turer. Mrs. Vinan Bar to resigned to de rota her time to advertising work for the Oregon Grange Bulletin. Mrs. Barto talked about Orange advertis ing as an opening feature. She spoke on advertising, co-operation, loyalty due to merchants who adver tise in the Bulletin. Mrs. Barto went to Josephine county for the Bulletin September 13.

Tom Cullen gave a humoroua poem by Worthy Chaplain Mrs. Mary Moore, "Nagging Wives." Negro melody, folk song, "Jubllo." hf UtHTL Eujrlir, SsttUMloo, "Huof 'Won't you open the door and take the letters?" Nan bad wept until she could weep no more. Those scalding tears seemed to hare washed everything away, like a flood that obliterated all landmarks and leaves behind It an even desolation. There bad been a moment when she could havs killed Jerrls for that light kiss. The hot rage was gone. There bad been a moment when she could have flung herself into his arms; and that too was gone. There remained a grey, desolate loneliness, and she was very tired. Bhe was not sure whether shs had spoken when Jerrls asked her to open the door. Bran pressed close to her In the dark, and when his warmth touched her she knew that she was cold. Her silence and the darkness touched Jerrls with a rague appre hension. He had come Into his room without switching on the light The windows stood wide, and un curtained, and there came from them a faint dusky halt light In which the accustomed furnishings ot the room took on a strange aspect The sky beyond the windows was pale with the rising moon. All at once the strangeness was in bis own thought He had for an Instant the sense that all this had happened before In. a dream In some strange place. He and Nan, with darkness between them; and Nan weeping In the darkness. It touched a deep unknown spring and released a rush of some emotion which rose In him and then ebbed again. The whole thing passed between one breath and the next It left him with the feeling that he had Just waked up and did not quite know where he was. He said, In changed voice, "Are you all right?" And this time he heard her say, "Yes"; and he hoard Bran push against the door. Nan straightened herself a llttlo. They could not stand here like this. It would be better to open the door and take her letters only she couldn't do It If she opened the door, he would know that she bad been crying. No he had no light In his room; there was not the faintest thread of light at the' foot of the door. Why were they standing like tbls In the dark with the door be tween them? She had no strength to go away. She loaned against the cold panel, and very faintly her lonely desolation felt the stir of a desire that he should speak, that he should go on speaking; because when she hoard his voice she did not feel quite so dreadfully alone. His voice came to her through the panel. "What Is the matter?" She drew a broatb that returned In a sigh. "Nothing." "You're been crying." "No." "Then won't you open the door?" A llttlo warmth crept up In her. She bad cried for such a long time. It would bo nice to make friends. She was very tired. She put up her hand and slipped back the bolt, and at once she was afraid. The door oponed Into Jerrls' room. As he turned the handle. Bran threw all his weight against It and plunged Joyfully through ths opening, mouthing Jerrls and butting him with bis head. Nan could see him, huge and black against the three pale windows on the far side ot the room. She could see Jerrls too, tall and black. Bran ran back to her, whining. Bhe stood quite still where she was, and Jerrls took a stop forward as far as the threshold end stretched out his hand with the letters In It He did not cross the threshold, and when she had taken the letters he stepped back. Then he said In a constrained tone, I're read them. I'm sorry for what I said. I'd no business to say it" Nan put the band with the letters to her breast Her band was cold, and the letters were cold. She did not speak. All at once Jerrls said, "Good-night." He stepped back and ahut ths door. Nan finds, Mondsy, a good frlsnd and a potent ally. Ing a Pole Cat." Karl Jackson: read ing by Sister J.
