He had triven this no heed. .Now, as he watched her, he Idly wondered if she had born away and had ju.t returned. As the thought came to him she ran quickly up the steps and into the hall. An J;our later a uy tired little boy rept into his uncle's arms to tdl of hi wonderful afternoon. "You know, it's my birthday an' Muvvcr '-,'ave m- a party an told me I could po out into the 'byways and hedges' an' anther 'em in. 1 didn't know just what sh meant, l'nclo Hl.ur an' I didn't see

Irom his uncle's knees the boy njarched from the room leaving the man in a brown stud- from which he did not emerge until aroused by the opening of the library door. The girl paused as she was about to enter, then came into the room. IAcn then she seemed to hesitate, he thought, and watched her intently as she approached. s arching for some resemblance between this woman of graceful bearing and awkward but lovable child wno had grown into his heart when a j'outh. He off red his chair and himself stood before the glowing giro. Ho was unconscious of the ir.tentness of his gaze as he searched her fa.-c and as she did not speak at once he said abruptly: ' My nephew has made of :ny mind a mase of memories, Miss Fairbanks. Will you be so good as push jour hair back a trifle from jour left car. I do not mean to be rude, but 1 want to identify you, as your name is unfamiliar. I lost a very dear friend jears ago. I have looked for her but have not found

Today "Hair t lis me she may ben in mv horn for weeks

past." From the depths of her chair she looked up at him. 'I here was a little smile upon Imr lips ;us she replied: "The years have eflaced the scar, Mr. Henderson, if it is that you have in mind." "Thank heaven if there is no trace of it. I have always been afraid I disfigured you for life. Hut without it how am I to know that you ar reall.v you?" "Am I so greatly changed?" "You have heard of the duckling and the swan?" "Surely it was not as bad rus that,

but now that you mention it I recall that you named me 'duckling.'

'.Mio laughed. "I have been wonder- ; im; how long it would take you to j remember me and when I entered 1 the room I had reached the moment j when I despaired of telepathy. Mr. j Henderson I must have made of

jour life a burden. iio-y 00 not always care for adoration, and I adrred ycu." "It developed chivalry in the

right sort of a fellow," he answered j thoughtfully, as he watched her. "I j have often wondered what became j of you; why you should have dropped so utterly from out of my lite.

I was bewildered when I found you gone. I had been so long accustomed to adoration that it w:is hard to adjust myself to the colder attitude of thos about me You had grown into the very fibres of my bein-'. The duckling v.;us lovable. I missed her and missed the care I took of her, although the sears did not attest to it. I wanted to die when I saw you lying in the snow with the blood running down jour face." He smiled at the remembrance.

"No one seemed to know where I

your father went after your mother's death. Hut 1 made a covenant with myself. To find you. I never thought of you as grown, up. It wa.s always as my little sweetheart, which of course. w;us foolish." "Vhy. of course," she asked sedatel "Don't you think a child can retain a memory?" !She unpinned the watch hanging upon her breast opened it and held it so that he could see two little birds drawn upon a scrap of paper. " I can match that," He snapped Iiis own open showing two hearts pierced by a dart. "Hut there was something else." He was showing more of earnestness than the occasion seemed to demand. The girl colore. 1. "I have forgotten." "Your pardon, but I think not," fch? Kill held her watch, hut a?

he spoke it fell from her fingers. Something brieht rolled away from it and a slip of paper fell io that a line of writing was visible. Blair Henderson stooped, his color rising as he picked up the trifles. "Why did you Bay that you had forgotten?" he asked. "Did you believe the boy could know what he wanted and not desire it a. a man?" lie looked at the tiny ring s.H with turquoise forget-me-nots; the scrap of paper upon which was written, to my wife. "Was that the reason?"' "Why should I remember anything when for four weeks I have been a guest in your home and ou did not recognize me?" "That is over and done with. I know you now, although I yet do not understand j'our change of name. Are you going to play with me or will you be honest and give me the chance to shew you the man i- .as earnest as the boy once was?" "I think, Blair, the difference beJ tween the man and the boy is only a matter of years. He seems about the same to me." . "And the girl? I fas she changed?" '"When her father died she was adopted by a very dear aunt and took her name. The years made a great difference in appearance, but otherwise she did not alter. Old memories were too precious to part with and she still clings to them. I cannot pl.aj- with you, Blair. I am happy in the thought that boy and man .are of the same mind, and if the little ring was not so small I would be wearing it now." "That is a fault easily remedied," he returned as he drew her to him. "You mu.,t let me have the measure of your finger."
