Sister Bell knew when she started out to the city to “fix things up” in Brother Henson’s apartment that she would get In In some wuy, hut It was really an easier mutter thuu she had hoped. “Pm Mr. Bridge's sister, and 1 want keys for his apartment," she told the woman who come up from the basement in answer to the ringing of the bell marked “JnnlUir.” “I’ve come in Ids nbsenee to fix his place up. He forgot to send me the keys.” Os course Benson had never had any Intention of sending the keys, not remotely dreaming that any of “the folks from home” would make him n visit in his new city abode. He had gone away on an extended business trip and Sister Bell had chosen the time as opportune for her fixing-up process. Fortunately the janitor's wife was new and green and unsuspicious. "It’s the third floor front,” Sister Bell told her, und that was enough. She got the keys nnd mounted the stairs to the wee three-room-nnd-kitcheuette apartment. The place was small —disappointingly so —she felt at first, hut at least it was full of conveniences. There was one bedroom just large enough for a three-quarter bed, a chair and a bureau. No curtuins hung at the window —how Sister Bell rejoiced at her scheme when she saw all these omissions. The only pictures to be seen were two that stood on the bureau—her own and another. “Benson's latest girl, of course,” divined Bell. Though but eight years older than her twenty-two-year-old brother, she felt ami act ed the mother to him. Sister Bell had arrived at ten in the morning. At four she had her task mapped out and went in search of meat and drink for her solitary supper. With arms full of bread and lettuce nnd eggs nnd milk bottles she made her way hack up the two long flights of stairs for the third time that day. It was on the lost flight that she turned and looked back at the man who had been following her up the stairs. She dropped the loaf of bread and he picked it up for her. Then, while he was still standing holding it for her, she opened the door of the apartment and stood to take it from him. There was a look of momentary surprise in the face of the man which was explained to Sister Bell’s satisfaction when he said: "So you are Ben’s sister. I have seen your picture —in his room. He’s a great boy and I have been hig-brothering him around a little.” At this Sister Bell shifted some of her parcels, held a hand out to him in gratitude and they were friends. “I’ve been fixing up his place,” she' said. “Since the poor lad has to live in such close quarters I might as well have it cozy. Perhaps you will come in sometime this evening and tell me whether it is progressing to suit a bachelor.” The newcomer promised nnd fumbled in Ids pocket, then turned and went downstairs with the excuse of having mislaid his key and needing to get a duplicate from the janitor. That evening Martin Stowe kept his promise and made his visit of lnspec-j tion. Every evening, and sometimes in the ; morning besides, Mr. Stowe made an '■ excuse to come und see how the work progressed. Sometimes it was also to borrow one of Benson's books, sometimes even to get something out of his trunk that he had left in Benson's dining room, and as the dining room shaped itself with inexpensive hut effective furniture he took the trunk back into his own narrow back apartment —a mere bedroom with a bath. It was his whim to live in cramped quarters, he told Sister Bell. The day that Benson came home Mr. Stowe met him at the station. He asked Sister Bell to go witli him but she said she would rather stay home and have the kitchenette dinner ready for them on their return. A week had passed since she had come and there had been many changes. When Benson and Stowe returned from the station the explanation was not long in coming. Os course it hadn't been Benson’s apartment at ail. It was Stowe’s, and, of course, Stowe should have told Sister Bell to begin with. But, manlike, he hud not wanted to tell Benson’s sister that the brother was living in a one-room back apartment when tlie sister was disappointed at the smallness of the lnrger one in the front. When he realized vvHlit Sister Bell was really doing he hadn’t wanted to disappoint her. He hoped somehow that by the time Benson •ame back he would be able to afford .lie larger upurtnient. “And then I thought that perhaps Sister Bell might consent to stay nore —with us,” he said. “What a trio we would be! We'd let Ben have breuk.usts with us, too, wouldn’t we?” Sister Bell was still In a daze, relearsiug every event of the wonderful lays to make sure that she had not at tome time been very blind not to see the situation. “But I was so sure,” die said. “Why, just seeing my picture m Benson's bureau made me sure. Vnd-the other girl—l thought that was Jenson's new girl!” ,* ' “It Is,” Stowe assured. "It's his girl ind my kind sister. The duplicate is >ii Benson’s chiffonier. ■ But Benson ! ind but oue picture of you, so I took I hat. That was before I bad seen jou, 1 utl 1 knew even then."

I could scarcely get mv breath, had a choking sensation in mv I throat, and a hacking cough continualI ly.
