It was at their boarding bouse In New Orleans that Mrs. Strange and Eunice met Captain Long, and it eras at his uggeelkm that I they visited the Teehe and found their new home. ' Mrs. Strange died in August and ^ Thanksgiving; day was at hand before and her mother were thoroughly settled at Belle Place. Eunice had ol- ' ways associated this festival with snow and the merry jingle of the sklghbell, but here her .roses were in full bloom and several kjnds of vegetables had nicety started in the garden. Many of | the neighbors called and as this was the grinding ireirvt Invitations were ex- | tended to sugar-house parties, but Eunice found little time fur recreation. during the next winter season was com- ' polled to be much of the lime out of doom.

Here In and out and the bright, clear sir re- 1 sounded with the lovoly notes ot many a mocking bird. Along the flower arched avenue, one ' floe morning In March, rode s man on horseback. He sat well back lu the ' saddle, one hand resting on bis side ' while the other held a elgar, and so preoccupied was he that he failed to notice the salutations of the pa-scrs-by. The sodden stoppage ot hia horse before a broken bridge recalled his attention lo the surroundings and with a "G« along, - he started Into a canter. "I wonder If she will maintain her tnand self-sufficient Ideas, now < that 1 fear she has had practical expert- '■ ly like fate to have things turn out like this.

They parted st last, without so much si a graan of the hand, \ but he clenched his flat tightly as she opped on the train, and a great lump arose in her throat as she whirled past d> pot. No news had since reached Paul Brouisnrd of Eunice Sirange. until days since, while on a. visit to a ' friend In the town near which Eunice lived, he beard enough of these strangers ! arouse his suspicions, snd only the jtber day before they had been confirmed by Captain Long. And now, though drawing nearer and nearer to home, he began to wish that it was a little farther off and at a .turn in the road that brought Belle Place Into sight, ' he aeluallr allowed his hone to stop and graze for a few momenta.
