Dr. Grayson

By SADIE OLCOTT

A young man alighted from a train at a country station and stood looking about him at the beautiful bills and valleys' which made tip the surround iug country. He was handsomely dressed; his suit case was plastered over with the labels of foreign hotels, au indication that lie had been a traveler. There was hut one person at the station except the agent and his assistants, and that person was a young lady sitting in an auto runabout, who had apparently come to meet some one on the train. But as the expected person did not arrive she was preparing to leave when the young man stepped up to her and, lifting his hat, politely said:

“Beg pardon! Can you tell me if there is a hotel about here where I can put up for a few days?" "There is the I’arsamowaddy inn, but it is a couple of miles from here.’’ "Nothing nearer?’’ the young man asked, looking at his suit ease, which was a trifle heavy. “No place where you would be comfortable. I am going by the Inn and will take you In my car If you like." "Thank you very much indeed! You are awfully kind. I fear I shall have to avail myself of your offer, though it will be a pleasure tj> me to ride with you.” He put liis belongings into the runabout and got In beside the young lady. lie was on a tour of Inspection of different localities with a view to buying or building a summer residence, ami it was not long before he was gathering information. lie was the son of a widow and virtually the head of the family. Presently he spied a house on a hill that caught his fancy immediately.

"There’s the place I want exactly. I couldn’t grow those trees In fifty years. The view from its front piazza must be superb.” “I can give you the owner's name IT you wish to make an offer for it.” said the lady.

"You don't mean that it is for sale?" "You can never tell what is for sale till you ask. We Americans' have the credit among foreigners of being will ing to sell anything we have If we get our price." "Who owns It?" "Dr. Grayson.”

“How would I learn whether the property could be bought? It seems to me that it would be very imperti nent to go to a man's house arid ask him if he wishes to, sell it." “You might say that you have heard that possibly the place could lie bought and had called to learn the facts. There would be no impertinence in that " ; ; : w

"I don't know that there would be." ‘'You'll Arid Dr. Grayson at home about noontime. Here is your inn.” “I’m ever so much obliged to you for your lift and for your information Good morning."

“You're quite welcome. I suppose you will go to see I)r. Grayson today.” “I think I will.” “Well, be sure to go at noon. You will l»e sure to find him then.” ‘‘Thanks, very much.” ' The young man went into the ifin. which resembled a private'residence and not a hotel. ■ He spent the morn Ing in a hired auto visiting different localities, but found nothing for sale and was averse to spending the Hme required to build He kept his eye on the Grayson residence and hoped that he would find the ownerwilling to put a price on it Between I‘2 and 1 o'clock he directed the chauffeur to take him there. He told the butler, wlto admitted him. to gay to Dr. Grayson that he had heard there was a possibility that he would sell bis place. If so. would the doctor listen to a proposition?
