THE HOPE CHEST
By VINCENT Q. PERRY.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAi
(Copyright, 1918, by the McClure Newspa
per Syndicate.) ^ "
'Thoro ne?er was a chaperone like
Aunt Flo; both Leslie and Nora agreed
on that. Leslie and Kuril had been
engaged for over a year. He had a fine
position and an Income capable of tak
ing care of a wife, so he thought it
time they were married.
“Why^Leslie,” she said one day near
the endhftf the season, **you talk as if
I was on the verge of being an old
maid like auntie. I’m just in my'early
twenties—t^e age when a girl gets the
very best out of life. My good times
Imve Just begun.”
“Chat doesn’t say that they will
cease when you become my wife,” he
argued. “You know that I love you
and that your happiness is my first
consideration.”
But arguing only made each more
stubbornly sure of his own opinion, and
finally Leslie left Nora In tears.
- Aunt Flo was waiting for them on
the veranda of the hotel. The minute
she saw Leslie appear alone she knew
something had happened and was
iready with her sympathy when he
poured out his troubles.
“I agree with yout Nora Is foolish
to wait,” she said after he had fin
ished. “Have patience, though, for I
have a plan.” % v . . .
Near the end of the week, a trunk
nrrlvedtfor Aunt Flo. She had not said
anything about Its being expected and
Nora was rather curious to know why
it hud been sent. Surely her aunt had
njit bPUEht. uew clothe^ She had more
than site would be able to wear there,
as It waa.
*Tt contains some things I have had
sent’ here for you, dear,” Aunt Flo ex
plained when Nora questioned her
about It. "They are some things of
mine that I have Intended giving yon
and they can go home with your lug*
ffnge.”
"You’re a dear! What are they?"
Norn asked eagerly.
"Some things that I started collect
ing when I was younger than you. I
prise them and would not let anyone
have them but my favorite niece.” <r
Nora found the trunk In her aunt’s
room and the key was InThe lock. It
was an old-fashioned trunk but It look-
as If It had done very little travel-,
Ing. She looked It over reverently be
fore she opened It. Somehow there
seemed to be something sacred about
It. Carefully, she lifted the lid and
the odor of fresh cedar filled the room.
The trunk was lined with green silk.
On top was a picture of a very beau
tiful girl. She picked It up and looked
at It wonderingly. Why It tfas Aynt
Flo when she was a girl.
The picture, however, was forgot
ten In the wonders found In the trunk
—linens of all kinds In sheets, pillow
cases, towels ami many other things.
Before-she reached the bottom she
knew what the trunk had been. It was
Aunt Flo’s "Hope Chest.” Now she
knew why It had seemed so sacred to
her. Poor Aunt Flo, she had never
been married! Aa she leaned over the
trunk something caught her glance.
A neat pile of letters tied with a pale
ribbon rested at the bottom. They
were her aunt’s love letters, khe knew
without looking Inside.
Letter after letter she read. They
read like Leslie’s letters, only more re
served and old-fashioned. What a
wonderful lover it wat that Flo
had had, and how anxious |)e hu<f Seen
that they get married! Why hadn’t
they? Some of Ids arguments were
Just the same as Leslie’s. How foolish
A^nt Flo had been to let his pleadings
go by unheeded. The last letter^ was
addressed In a different hand thaji the
other*,; The stationery was edged 4n
black. As Nora read this letter the
tears started to her eyes. So he had
died In a foreign country—that was
why Aunt Flo had never married 1
Nora sat for a long time In medita
tion. A step sounded. It was Leslie.
"Aunt Flo sent me np here,” he arol-
oglsed.
/V 4 Oh, Leslie,” she cried as she Jump
ed to her feet; "come and read these
letters. It Is the saddest thing 1 Poor
'Aunt Flo 1” 9
. It was not necessary for him to read
the letters. Nora told him what they
contained almost before h^e had’ a
chance to open one of them. He read
the last one, however, and as he read
fee realized Just what a "brick” Aunt
Flo was, to keep smiling. He did not
speak fpr some moments, for he found
that tears, after all, were not solely
monopolized by women.
"Isn’t their case like ours?”Tie ven* ’
tured, when he thought Nora was ready
for It.
"All but the dying part,” she smiled
through her tears.
"That might happen.”
“Oh, no! I will get married as soon
as you like, Leslie.”
“Then let’s make It today. There Is
the dearest little vine^covered church
In the village.” v : >
