"lowly after her niece, Lesbla Darrow, at the lattoc dashed down the porch atepa and ont to tho atreet. Tturllled by what she had *lewod, chilled with apprehension, Leshla breathlessly padsed at the aldo of the road to fate down In dread and her ror at a crumpledup human figure. 1 It was that of a man Rightly older'] than herself. Only a moment before ahe bad noticed him crossing the road, Au automobile holding four reckless I young men had rounded tho corner, I never sounding the horn's warning, I and when their machine struck the 1 man aud throw him to the curb they dashed on unheeding.

Tho doctor was called on the tele- J phone by Mr. Barton.and looked seri ous as he reported an arm broken, a bad g??h at the back of the head and one lower limb sprained. He looked over the. clothing of the patient. There was nothing found except a purs? con taining a few dollars ana some printed cnrdB having only thewiame Alton Drake, with no address. There was no hospital In the little town, and Aunt Cella. always sympathetic and geWerous hearted.

"Not If these dear ladles will let me stay here," objected Alton DraKe. *1 haven't had a home for many a year, doctor, and this seems like one, in deed, I shall see that these people are well paid for their trouble." "I don't think the gentle souls have ever thought of that," respdnded the physician. "They are not of that "Truly, indeed, I have fnlly.reallzed that," murmured the invalid grate fully. ' - He was strong enough to discuss with Aunt Cella the event of retain ing him as a regular boarder till he recovered, | and- she showed, am e knew, that the opulent 'sum he named 1n reimbursement meant a great deal to her. He was attended diligently, and as he came back to normal aunt and niece formed a decided liking for him. v "We haven't had time to do any of our old-Un\e> since he came," observed Lesbla, as she and her aunt sat In the gloaming. Her tones wer? low and cautious, for she had noticed, that their patient was asleep In the next room. "You want to get back to the old enjoyment of building houses In the | air?" smiled Aunt Cella. "Dear! dear I what filmy castles we have construct i'oai* ? ? " It had been a favorite and pleasur able enjoyment for those two lonely souls to pass a visionary hour Imag ining and then planning what they would do "when their ship came in." It always ended foi a new home such as carried out -their longings for a domestic palace. Aunt Cella craved a sun parlor, Lesbia's. desire .was a cozy little library. Once started now, they babbled like two Innocent chll dred over their dream toys." ... "Oh, dear I Mr. .Drake is awake," suddenly exclaimed Aunt Cella. They could catch the echo of dis tinct chuckling, and then the words: *111 remember that vision house when I get well, see If I don't I" It was not until he was able to get about readily that Jie told them who he was ? "a lonely bachelor with some money/' $nd he sent for a portion of the same the day he said good-by and left them, promising tluft they should see him again before fall. Oftfrrt they thought of him after he had departed, constantly Lesbia's thoughts held his bright, pleasing ways in memory, and one lovely morning he drove up in an autqpioblle. "Want to show you somethlqg, ladles," he hailed them, waving a paper roll. "See j that?it's a house Just built and all fin ished, and it's yours." There It was, the palace they had planned, and a few hours Iftter the auto conveyed them to the house they lad so often held In ecstatic vision. there's only one thing more I wish to say,** observed Drake.
