Big Tom stood gnring absently through the window of bh> crude office In the wood, liis mother had distinguished him by this name, from the frail Tom. who was his father. Now that both were gone, the /althful »ou awakened bitterly to a se .se Of hlz own louellneaa. With the dheery mother awaiting him each evening in the neat cottage home, this busy life among rough lumbermen had seemed neither profitless nor dull. Big Tom dreaded poignantly his evening*. He wondered. If he might not arrange to leave the work here, and go to a more companionable Held In the city. But whom could be trust to carry on h!i great Interests which had grown to remarkable success? No. the life which he had been obliged to take up when his father's declining health msde work no longer possible, must still be the life which would bold his fretting spirit. And as he gazed with somber eyes throrgh the opening between the trees, he licheld an uubellarnble thing; a girl's figure advanc.og rapidly toward him. The girl, dropplnt; her suit case'before the oT door, and sounding a tentative kn<*.< aaswe-ed the question. To Ton's astonished mare, she gave a wistful • smile. "If you please.” asked the wonder-glrL “wt!! you direct me to s hotel—or boarding house?' the edded at his evident glance of dismay. "I left the train at the last atop, and have walked, searching upon my way. The place le less populated than I (nought.'* “Come In." said Big Tom. cordially. Before this girl's diffidence his selfconsciousness vanished. “Why did you come?" Tom naked abruptly. The girl's cry*t*l dear eyea rori his frankly. "I came to hide away from a man.” she replied, “and I left the train at tht most Isolated spot I could find. I hoped."—Impatiently she brushed the tears from her frtngtd lids.—“to find work here. StenogiMphy perhaps, and support in> self." i Big Tom whistled. “Ton know your own business of course." Le said, "but don't you tblnk you'd better go back. Burely there is some other way—.” "This Is the only way." the girl answered decidedly. “If It's the only way." he said brisk ly. •‘and you are determined In 1L why. you may become my typist, thl* minute, I".l be almighty relieved to Ind one. Even In this wilderness I'm a busy man. And there's my mother's cottage. all ready for you to keep house In. It will be pleasant to think of you :hera. sort of keeping thing* going” "And you?” asked the girt breathlessly, “where will you be?" “Why. righ’ here." Mr. Tom replied “I bunk here now half the time." So the plan worked out like a happy fairy tale, and the new arrangement of affairs ran smoothly, as affairs wgrt wont to run. with Fig Tom’* planning. The girl bade him call her "Joy"Because aiie had put her sorrow* behind her." she said HU love for her grew to a sort of reverence. In Joy. was peraonlned all the beamy and truth and purity of the book women whom Tom had worshipped ; almost the only women that h>- had cared to know. And every day. little Joy. singing about her nest cottage or over the hooka In the cabin office, grew more and more In'* the very spirit of her name.

"Bawling* Is not the man you are biding from?” be asked sharply. Joy shook her head. “He will sertf the other man to flnu me," she tola him. Suddenly, she wax sobbing. 'You don't tiuderitrnd.
