R. A RZZ11. RAIN - B y HOPE AINSt.EE. o.:pyright. 2M15 by the McClure Newspa per Syndicate.) A soft drialing rain was daring the roses in Constance Atwood's cheeks to come out and get wet. And the roses were fast appearing as she walked briskly through the damp Inder path in Central park. - It was Saturday afternoon and Con stance had promised herself that she would finish knitting the last of her six pairs of socks for the soldier boys before the Wednesday boat should have sailed. Her small brother and sister, being prevented by the rain from paying out of doorm would de mand the attention of Sister Con stance if she were at home. There fore she decided to seek the shelter of a summer house in the park, where on a day like this she was sure to be alone. A-begatiful girl- sitting alsne in a summer house on a cold, driding day knitting 'socks is not an every day picture.- Indeed it was such an unusual sight to Donald Grey when be came upon it that he -almost stopped in his course to stare. . Constance looked up casually as he pased and her calm, level gaze met his; then he dropped her eyes, con inned her knitting -and the man strode on through the winding path. nt the ms% peace of mind had been disturbed. Only his deei-rooted sen of chivalry kept himi from re trmda his steps for one more. look at the-lovely girl. He realized that he had only a slender chance in a thousand of seeing her again, and yet at that moment he could think of -, other peraon whom he so desired to se again-and often. Suddenly his musin were abrupt ly nferpted by the approach of a big Irish park policeman leading .a nama! e d reludantly by the hand. ThaW ocer had to stoop .to keep a. -- hold o'f the tinyitot. "Got's lost kid!" he said laughing lto Donald. Donald looked at the pretty little girl. "edaofor a youngster lik0 -*at to be alme in the park, Isn't it? Wne for the pneumony Says her na's bitn' fad she run off," volun teezed tbe policeman further. DonalIOrey paled a little. "Knlt tng di- ou. say? * Her-her moth "Sure! Why -not? Ain't they all adain'- it day an' night for Tommy Atkins and the loike o* him?" asked saw a young woman back in the mnm s- nin."' said Don "Wer" sed the policenn 1- Ibw you-it's quicker," and Da14 fedthe way back to .the sum Thelittle cne trotted.-beside the 9a".ma and onaln , urning p Sb. seemed not to care who Ulmetos ees long as s'he ei.edald 3Sethat much In. the tot's __ ~kllhe~ anrthe trio appracbin stnge s5toPPedT tnitting and stared.

"And where --ddic mi a your-mamma?" The :chll madle a vague gesture. "Over home .with lots 0' ladies all The plitemnan took the child again by the'innd. . 'Come on, kid, you'll catck cold out here.

Doa~'t apologse. I only hope they mid the baby's mother szoon. It's not A-daydfor little ones to be out." The -girl's =tone dimisdna him and Donald strode on. This time he felt desperate. If he had wanted to know her after a single. glance at her, he Tonged more than ever now that he badiseen her urile, and heard her speak, )ad stood lbefore her. He would have felt utterly hope less if be had. not been a firm be Niever~ in the good Presbyterianism t1setirything that. happens Is for the best. If this was the way he was to-meet her, never to see her again; dhy-that -was alt., If she were meant. or him-nd with his youthful, hope M litook on life, he believed she Was-he would find her someui-here. Fo, nearly two Iyears he sought her, ad .then, at a benefit dance given to ai the. widows and children of soli.r who had fallen in the war, he spresented to her by a patroness ofthe bvnMg "At last, Miss Atwood," he-said. A&M although Ithe girl only smiled. behad the ltatisfaction of seelig i her eyes a glad look, as If she too. had- been hoping. "And if it is faite." he .said to himse' f in a fir sb "of . eourse, she has been b"W to." CASTORIA bes. sForOver30Years The Soldier's Ignorance.
