He had put up $40,000, and it wheat tell 3 cents more it would be all swept away. Then. he executed a second mortgage at high in- terest and waited. It was the last shot in his locker, and all that stood between him and ruin, but wheat advanced 2 cents, and he began to hope. He had absolutely ignored business for two weeks, and now he went to work again. To collect the little due him and raise all the money he could was his sole thought. He wrote to Thygeson Co. that he had at last found the heir they were in search of and described what proofs he held, at the same time stat- ing that on receipt of his fee of a thou- sand dollars all and sufficient proofs of identity of the claimant would be for- warded. Then he wrote to Uncle Terry and demanded $300 more. September wheat had now fallen to 78. CHAPTER XXVII. ,ANCH NASON, Frank’s younger sister, was his good friend and sympathizer and in all the family discussions had usually taken his part. His older sister, Edith, was. like her mother, rath- er arrogant and supercilious. and con- sidered her brother as lacking in fam- ily pride and Half» t0 disgrace them by some unfortunate alliance. It was to Blanch he always turned when he needed sympathy and help, and to. her he appeared the day after he had left the Gypsy. IIis coming to the moun- tains surprised her not a little. “Why, what has brought you here, Frank?” she asked. “I thought you were having high jinks down in Maine on the yacht with your cronies.” “Oh, that is played out,” he answer- ed. “The boys are at Bar Harbor, hav- ing a good time. Bert is at a little un- heard of place saying sweet things to a pretty girl he found there, and I got lonesome, so I came up here to see you and get you to help me." Frank looked surprised. “How do you know it is a girl ?” he asked. “I thought 80,” answered Blanch, laughing. “You never did come to me unless you wanted help. Well, who is the girl now, and what do you want?” “It usually is with you,” she answer- ed. eyiug him curiously. “So out with it. What's her name?” “Alice Page,” he replied. “What, the girl you wanted us to invite to go on the yacht?" asked Blanch. “That's the one. and, as you know. she wouldn’t come." “Much if you want to; and nothing it you don’t,” be answered. “The fact “Which shows her good sense,” inter- rupted Blanch. “Well, What can I do in the matter?” is, sis. I want you to pack a trunk and go with me to call on her. She is. mighty proud. and I imagine that is why she turned the cold shoulder on my efforts to get her to come to Bos- ton to meet you all. Now, if you go there, if only for one night, the ice will be broken. and of course you will in- vite her to visit you and all will go well." “Oh. never mind them,” answered the plotter: “They need never know it. Just tell them you .are going to Saratogu with me. for a few days. We will go there it you like. only we will stop of! at Sandgate un the way. Now, do this for me, sis, and I’ll buy you the earth when Christmas comes!” “A nice little scheme,” responded Bland]. “but what will mamma and Ede say ‘3” ‘v‘But why must we wait four days?” asked Frank petulantly. “Well, you will have to stay here until Monday,” said Blanch, “and be real nice to mamma and Ede all the time, or I can’t fix it. Lucky for you, Master Frank, that they are out driv- ing now 2"- -, “Because, my love lorn brother, in the first place I don’t want to miss the Saturday night hop, and then we are booked for a backboard ride tomorrow. Another reason is I mean to pay you for turning your back on us and going 01! on the Gypsy. ” That afternoon Frank wrote Alice the longest letter she had ever received, nine full pages. It was received with some pleasure and a little vexation by “Mr. Nason and his sister are coming here Monday,” said she to Aunt Susan, "and we must put on our best bib and tucker, I suppose. But how we can contrive to entertain his sister is be- yond me.” Nevertheless. she was rather pleased atthe prospective visi- tation. Her school had been closed for over a month and her daily life was becoming decidedly monotonous. When Albert had written regarding the ipvitgtion the Nations had extend- All three sang. «no nehevsdltwasdnesolelyta Frank’s influence, and when that 1000: man tried to obtain her consent to 10m 1 yachting party. providing his mother and sister decided to go. she was morally sure of it. , But it made no dlflerence, for if the supposedly aristocratic Mrs. Nason had sent her a written invitation she was the last person in the world to accept it. To so go out of her way for the possible op- portunity of allowing the only son of a rich family to pay court to her was not characteristic of Alice Page. Rather a thousand times would she teach school in single blessedness all her life than be considered as putting herself in the way of a probable suitor. Of her own feelings toward Frank she was not at all sure. He was a good looking young fellow and no doubt stood well socially. At first she had felt a little contempt for him, due to his complaints that he had hard work to kill time. When she received the letter announcing his determina- tion to study law and become a useful man in the world she thought better of him. When he came up in June it became clear that he was in love with her. So self evident were his feelings that she at that time felt com- pelled to avoid giving him a chance to express them. Her heart was and always had been entirely free from the pangs of love, and while his devotion was in a way quite flattering, the one insurmountable barrier was his family. Had he been more diplomatic he would never have told her his mother frowned at him when he danced twice with a poor girl. “I am a poor girl,” Alice thought, when he made the admission, “but I’ll wear old clothes all my life before his haughty mother shall read him a lec- ture for dancing twice with me.” Now that Frank and his fashionable sister were coming to Sandgate, Alice felt a good deal worried. Firstly, she knew her own stock of gowns was inadequate. While not vain of her looks, she yet felt his sister would consider her countrifled in dress or else realize the truth that she was painfully poor. She had made the money her brother gave her go as far as possible. Her own small salary was not more than enough to pay cur- rent expenses. When the day and train arrived, and she had ushered her two guests to their rooms, her worry began. Ever since the day Mrs. Mears had related the village gossip to her she had thought a good many times about the cause of it, but to no one had she mentioned the matter. Her only as- sociate, good natured Abby Miles, had never dared to speak of it, and Aunt Susan was wise enough not to. A trunk had come, and as she busted herself to help Aunt Susan get supper under way before she changed her dress she was morally sure Miss Nason would appear in a gown fit for a state dinner. But when she was dressed and went out on the porch, where her guests were, she found Miss Blanch at- tired in a white muslin, severe in its simplicity. It was a pleasant surprise. and at no time during their stay did Alice consider herselfL poorly clad. I hiring the conversation that evening Blanch gave an interesting description of her life in the mountains, who were there, what gowns the ladies wore, the hops. drives, tennis. croquet and whist games, and when that topic was ex- hausted Alice turned to Frank and said. “Now, tell us about your trip.” "There is not much to tell,” he an- swered in a disappointed tone. “The fact is, my yachting trip was a failure. 1 had a two weeks’ trip all mapped out, no end of stores on board, and antici- pated lots of fun. but it didn‘t materi- alize. The second day Bert got left on the island. and we didn't find him un- til the next day. In the meantime he had {mind a pretty girl and acted as if he had become smitten with her. Then we ran to Bar Harbor, and the rest of the boys found some girls they knew and decided that a gander cruise had lost its charms. So I threw up my hands and turned the Gypsy over to Bert, and for all I know or care he is using her to entertain his island fairy.” When the chitchat slowed down Alice said: “I don't know how to entertain you two good people in this dull place. There are mountains and woods galore and lots of pretty drives. And,” look- ing at Frank, “I know where there is a nice mill pond full of lilies and an old moss covered will and a miller that looks like a picture in story books. There is also a drive to the top of the mountain. where the view is simply grand. I have a steady going and faithfulold horse. and'w’e'will go wher- ever you like.” Alice joined with Blanch in a good laugh at Frank’s description of his trip. “Do not worry about me, Miss Page." replied Blanch. "It I can see mountain and woods I am perfectly happy.” When the evening was nearing its close Frank begged Alice to sing, but she declined. “Do you play or sing, Miss Nason?‘ she asked cautiously. “Oh, please don’t be afraid of me,” was the answer. “I never touched a? piano in my life. Once in awhile I join in the chorus, as they say, for my own amusement and the amazement 0t oth- ‘ ers, but that is all.” It wasn’t all, for she played the guitar and sang sweetly. Finally Alice was persuaded to open the piano, and i then out upon the still night air there Z floated many an old time ballad. After 3 that she played selections from a few? of the latest light operas that Frank‘ had sent her and then turned away “Oh, don’t stop now," exclaimed both her guests at once. “Sing a few more songs. ” Then, with almost an air of proprietorship, Frank arose and, going to the piano, searched for and found a well worn song. Without a word he! i opened it.and placed it on the music i chk. It was ’“Ben Bolt!” A. taint color rose 1n Alice’s race, but she turn- ed and played the prelude without 3 word,_,_mep she had run: the nut- gun. verse. 10 ner surprise Blanch was stand- ing beside her and joined her voice in the next one. When it was finished Frank insisted on a repetition. and aft- er that all three sang a dozen more of the sweet old time songs so familiar to all. Then Alice left the room to bring in a light lunch. and Frank seized the opportunity to say. “Well. sis, what do you think ?” “I think,” she replied. “that you were foolish to go yachting at all. It I had been you I should have come up here in the first place. stayed at the hotel and courted her every chance I could. I am in love with her myself. and we haven’t been here six hours.” Frank stepped up to her quickly and, taking her face in his hands, kissed her. CHAPTCR XXVIII. W0 days of Alice’s visitation passctl like a summer breeze. The first day they drove to the old mill and spent the en- tire forenoon gathering lilies and watching the great wheel that dripped and clattered between its moss grown walls. It was a curiosity to Blanch, for never in her life had she seen one of those old time landmarks. now so rare. That afternoon they drove to the mountain‘s top and saw the sun. set, only to be late home to Aunt Su- san’s tea biscuit and cold chicken, and having a surprising appetite. The next day they made a picnic trip to another mountain, leaving the horse halfway up and walking the rest of the way. At noon they returned, and beside a cold spring that bubbled beneath a rock they opened their lunch baskets. Then they picked flowers, hunted for win- tergreen and decked the horse and wagon with ferns and wreaths of lau- relâ€"only simple country pleasures, it is true, but they at least had the charm of newness for two of the party. That evening they sang all sorts of songs from gospel hymns to comic operas, and Blanch showed in so many ways that she admired her new found friend that there was no further re- straint. “All right. only your sn.lles will be wasted on the miller. He is too old to appreciate them. We won’t be gone . long." said Alice as she stepped into ‘ the boat. Am] now What spirit of misâ€" ‘ rhief had come oyer‘her? She joked ‘d‘ ‘5' ' and jested on all manner of snojects-- i the boat, his rowing, Blanch’s interest . in the millerâ€"and her blue eyes spar- kled with roguish intent. She bared ? one round arm to the elbow and, pull- lng every bud and blossom she could ’ reach, pelted her cavalier with them. “I wish you would stay with me un- til my school begins, Blanch," said Alice at the close of the evening. “It you knew how lonely I am, I am sure you would.” “I might be persuaded to make a longer visit next summer,” was the answer, “it you will return this visit next winter. Will you?” “I won’t promise now,” answered Alice. “1 am afraid I should be out of place in your society. I’m only a coun- try girl, you know." I‘Iâ€"shali feel hurt it you don’t," re- sponded Blanch. “I should like to see that schoolhouse Frank has spoken of several times," she said a little later, “and that bare- foot girl he told about.” It (was the first allusion to his inter- est In her that Blanch had made, and Alice colored. “We will drive by where that girl lives tomorrow,” responded Alice, “and, it you like, will call and see her. She is the most original little old woman in my school.” The next morning, when Frank and his sister were alone for a few mo- ments, she said, “I am going to do you a good turn today, Sir Mahomet, and have a headache,” and, laughing a lit- tle, “if you are wise you will improve your opportunities and persuade your ‘Sweet Alice’ to go after pond lilies and leave me here.” “I could not think of going after lilies,” Alice replied when he proposed the trip, “and leaving your sister alone, and then it is almost too warm to be out in the sun this morning. If she feels better this afternoon we will go there when the sun gets part way down.” Blanch kept quiet all the morning and after dinner was the first to pro- pose another trip to the lily pond. _“I am in love with that old mill,” she said, “and I want to see it when the sun gets down so it will be shady there.” When they reached the spot she at once developed an unusual interest in the mill and began an animated con- versation with the miller regarding it and its history. “You two go after lilies,” she said when Frank had the boat ready, “and leave me here. I’m afraid the sun on the water will bring back my head- ache!’ “Did you learn that stroke at col- lege,” she asked when one of his oars slipped, “or is that the way a yacht!- man always rows?” In response to all this he said but lit» tie, for he was thinking how best to say what was on his mind. He headed the boat for the shore, and as it came to a stop he said: “Let’s get out and sit on the bank, Miss Page. I want to sundown, and, besides, I want morn lilies." “Won’t you get out, Miss Page?” he asked. “I’ve something I want to say to you spaâ€"and it’s nice to sit in the shade and talk."
