There was a freshness to her beauty that was quite girlish and a token of mourning shewed in hat and veil. Be?ides that the little three-year-old child by her side called her "mamma," and there was motherly tenderness in the attention she received. Boyd Wisner sat facing them in the street car and studied the pair with something of interest. He was a natural weaver of dreams, and his avocation encouraged the visionary. Compiler, critic and reader for a miscellaneous publishing house, all kinds of literary efforts were presented for his approval or rejection. ^ He had drifted directly to the threshold of young bachelorhood, knowing nothing of love except from the romances he read, and a surfeit of them had made him somewhat finical as to ideals. He was in the midst of a pleasing development of plot and incident when there was a grating grind and then a crash. From a passing truck a box ' had jolted out of place and its sharp, sudden shadow in descent warned and enlightened Wisner. In a flash he discerned the object aimed straight for the window next to which the little girl sat. With a rapid movement he threw himself forward. A shower of glass rained over him, slightly cutting one cheek and his hands. Where a corner of the box struck his back there was a painful jar, but he had thrust the little child safe into the arms of her alarmed mother. Thence she put out her arms toward him, as if fully conscious of his heroic service. "Tell something," came the babylike prattle, and Wisner, supposing that she wished to whisper something, leaned forward to receive a kiss on . one cheek. "Other face," said the little one, and the other cheek was kissed as well. "She is, we are both truly grateful," quavered the mother, all unstrung, and then a street was called by the conductor and the little one, prattling about "dear man," "sweet man," the mother bestowing grateful glances upon Wisner, both left the car and it whirled on its way again, with Wisner in a strangely aroused mood. As half a mile farther on he arose to leave the car Wisner noticed an envelope on the floor between the seats. He picked it up to find that it con?' tained half a dozen proofs of a photo ornnh nf tho ladv and the child who tad so curiously come into his life. To stay it seemed, for after that there were few hours in the day when the two faees did not float across his mental vision. He made it a point to ride on the cars of the line where he met them. He longed to locate them and make an excuse for seeing them again and the returning of the photograph proofs. Then after a month when he had given up hopes of again meeting them a whimsical, yet half romantic impulse, led him to cut out one of the photos in circular shape and place it in the inside case of his watch. , Once a friend caught a glimpse of the picture and rallied Wisner as to a mysterious lady love, and the fantasy rather pleased the young lone bachelor. At all events a certain sen* timentality came into his experience that lifted him above the dull grind of his routine labors. It was upon an occasion when he was strolling along the street at which mother and child had alighted that, somewhat unwatchful and preoccupied, he drew back too late to evade contact with a rushing automobile. It only grazed his body, but threw him forward so forcibly that his head struck the curb and he was stunned. A crowd gathered and the driver of the auto sought to ascertain his identity. It chanced that Wisner carried just then no papers that would help out such an investigation. As the chauffeur, however, scanned his watch for some name or monogram and opened it, a lively urchin of the noicrhhrwhnnri nPPrlnS' inauisitivelV UV<BUVV.~W?, r o -X over his shoulder, exclaimed: "Say, mister; I know where he belongs. Those are pictures of Mrs. Morse and her little girl. They live in the little cottage right around the corner." Boyd Wisner did not, of course, belong to the Morse home, but those who carried him thither were not made aware of his being a comparative stranger to its inmates. Mrs. Lora Morse and her little child-recognised their hero of the street car episode the moment of his appearance, and a heightened color came to the cheek of the young widow when the incident of the photograph came to light Wisner came back to consciousness little the worse for his rude shake up to meet the solicitous glance of the object of his dreams for a long time past Then explanation, renewed kiSses from the affectionate little Corinne, and an invitation to call again. There came a happy moment to Boyd Wisner somewhat later. It was ?? *- - - ^^1 ^ T \'TArea Af Hie fill6r nc ilUU IUIW uvia 4uui ot vi utu love. Her drooping eyes lifted, bearing a half-shy, half-mirthful expression. "Tell something," she whispered, and ho leaned toward her. y "Other cheek!" and the romance ci ; bis life was fulfilled.

For Appearance Sake. One day Pat apeared on the street with a huge tear in his coat sleeve.! "Look here, Pat," protested a friend, "why don't you get that hole mended?"
