There is sosnstfelng always a little unconvincing Untt a story based •on the uncertain sands of coincidence, jwt life Is filled on all sides with striking examples of sach circumstances. Coincidence undoubtedly - played a snajor role in the lives and destinies at old Colonel Harbor, his son Rny- SM>nd and a lively young woman Muned Shirley Lang. ' . When Shirley was twenty-two, marto a y ewag engineer named Robart Lang, and living with him in a small city in Pennsylvania, she took a short trip to a nearby resort known as Brown's Glen, there to recuperate afem a stubborn attack of influenza that had laid her law, It was only •fty miles from her home, so her husband ran down to spend the first weeksad with her, and appeared there the Jttcond week-end to take her home. . They were a quiet pair of greeks •nd attuned to Shirley's mood which was one of relaxation and a sense of tfowly gathering strength in the period of her reeuperation. . Even before her marriage Shirley jMtd^shown a predilection for the company of old people. She liked them. She was an intelligent, level-headed «lr», and the wisdom and repose and ssellow experiences of older people interested her. At parties she could usually be found talking to the mothers •nd grandmothers of her own generation. This characteristic endeared flhirley to people. Both young and «id admired her for it. * It was therefore true to form that m hv visit to Brown's Glen Shirley l*tng should meet and become interested in the gentle and sagacious personality of old Colonel Harbor. He was not really a colonel. The tftle had fallen on him because of the fine White-haired dignity of his bearing. Be was a retired business man from Ithaca, and was also at Brown's Glen for the benign purpose of regaining feis strength after an illness. Like most old people, he took an Immediate fancy to Shirley Lang. She 4id not treat him with the usual kind sf deference that ground into his consciousness the fact that age had shunted him to life's sidelines. Shirley Lang met older people with deference ,|nd yet without the broad kind of reverence that makes youth so often self- * conscious in its treatment of old age. ^Po Shirley, Colonel Harbor was a mel- • low, interesting, witty old gentleman With funds of experiences growing 4ot of a full lifetime, and a wisdom *hat comes with intelligent maturity. ' They became great friends. They #at together on the sunny edge of the veranda, walked through the quiet old ftark surrounding the hotel, took motor excursions together and in the eve* fting played cribbage or gathered a foursome for bridge, A real friendship sprang up between these two. i . When Shirley's husband came down /week-ends, she showed him off prond- (Jy to the old gentleman and he iu turn never tired of taking her into the confidence of his own story. The story -*4>f the wife who had died serving him --was one that Shirley asked to toear \r Again and again. There was one soiir * young business man of aboat thtrty- -..„.>wo who had married a few months *£. ;|»efore. His choice had been a bit ^Staggering to the old colonel at first. Jibe girl had been a dancer in a mu- ^slcal i^vue. But he reconciled him- •Jseif by now, and sometimes showed ' Shirley the quaint, fuilsome, sagacious - letters he had written to bis son and {, :> daughter-in-law. J* It was with real regret that the old . <-.colonel and young Shirley saw the •placid weeks at Brown's Glen come " to an end. "With the true spirit of the ^ *5 itravelel-s of all times and all places, i " "they exchanged vows t^contlnue the ^relationship, to keep alive the friend- • jship, and to correspond. Unfortunately, these well-meant Indentions were never to be carried out ^beyond the two weeks following the : Wisit of the new-made friends to Brownfs Glen. True to their promise, one letter was exchanged between then! immediately after their return . to their respective homes. When no • .W ftpiy came to her second, Shirley, aft - -f \ec a wait of a considerable interval, t wrote a timid postcard reminding the •Jl^^ld gentleman of his promise. A reply r 1 came in a short note from a woman who signed herself Deborah Harbor, sister of the colonel. The old gentleman had died In his sleep, two weeks after his return home from Brown's Glen. So much for the rather wistful little > incident of this friendship between an ^«ld gentleman and a y^ung girl which 3 had taken place during a pair of weeks in a quiet old country spot among the foothills of Pennsylvania. £ The long arm of coincidence^ Its I; moving finger seeming to write, now ^swings through time and space. Ten years later, a trim, capable, alert-eyed woman in her early thirties is seated in a restaurant in a busy business section of New York city C lunching with another alert young woman of her same type.

It is an Insinuating glance, a speculating glance; one of inquiry, not to say impertinence. Shirley Lang, whose experience along these lines has been a long and bitter one, meets his eyes with a cold glitter In her own. She is annoyed, even a little disgusted. She points oat. the man,'wlth an excoriating remark, to hfer companion. Her luncheon guest, also a buyer In a large department store, recognises bin as the new general manager.

He had been gathering himself together since. - It was all so simple. Of course, according to the writing finger of the long arm of coincidence, the man was Raymond Harbor. He had heard of Shirley in those two week# before his father's death.

The long, long arm is! So much for the pattern of the situation. Scarcely the one to catch op the thread of these two lives Into the same fabric. An old colonel at peace in his graVe might have chuckled at the weaving fingers of time. In more ways than one It might have gratified the old eyes, long since asleep, to see the eyes of these two, Shirley and Raymond, discover each other across a flock ot conventional restaurant ta bleSr-lijrfiten, brighten, flash! A puir of lives had drifted together In much the fashion that most human beings find out their mates, and yet the fact that Shirley had known the father of Raymond, back in the days when an old man delighted in her youth, makes the meeting seem a little unreal. Just any two. glancing, quickening uniting after a glance or two in a public place, Is romance. Shirley and Raymond, glancing, quickening, unit ing after a glance or two in a public^ place, is coincidence. But in any event, none of these considerations were to mar the meeting It all came about quickly, rightly, and with the irrepressible velocity of gale. There was never hesitancy In the capitulation of Raymond. With waryness more characteristic of her sex, Shirley fenced a bit. After all one didnt fall In love over a deml tasset Not if you were thirty and had tasted the dregs of a bitter expert ence. But that was only Shirley pretending'with herself.
