nounced at tea time et the follow-
ig Sunday, To the lady he said,
pointing, "That's Alice, that's Alta-
jel, that's Helen, Hope you'll all
get en well together." After tea
he went out, content to leave his
eawe to lie gigged for a quarter of
feu hour by the three earnest &aro,
cotes.
The esciung widow, taken over the
house and escorted to the lawn at
the back,. deelared it ,a residence
she had hitherto only encountered
in her mind's eye.
Mrs. Berry explained that she
met Edwin at the boarding-house in
Station Road and at first was not
greatly attracted by him; it was
when he spoke with great affectiou.
of his three sisters that she began
to think he might have• quailities.
that escaped casual observation,
Mrs. Berry inquired of the girls
whether they thought. Mr. Harley
was a ratan who could make a woman
happy, and in an animated trio
they declared there could be no
room for doubt in this respect. They
expressed a hope that the wedding ito say she can't understand why_ I
would take place at an early date. should assume that she knows
Mrs. Berry, in going, kissed them where.her husband is resting"at the

and neighbors gave up all other oc-

°unsparing notes afterward, the
girls fennel that one hand had beeri
kissed by a courtly youth. from
Stamford Hill, two hands pressed,
and the honorary aeere':tary of t+he
lawn tennis e1ub had begged them
to become members,
Edwin urged the visitors to come
again, spoke of the house as Liberty
Hall, and mentioned) is a. vogue
way, that 'hissisters had expeeta
bans,
Now all the youth of Dalston was
on .tire, and silken dalliance from
the wardrobe spread, Now carate
tickets for the zoological gallens;
post cards suggesting a visit to the
local picture palace. Now motor-
cyeles arrived at th:e 'muse of an
evening with side -oars, and a re-
quest for the company- of one of the
ladies :on a trip to the forest and
back. Now came tickets for the
play and a note, "Please meet me
at box office entrance teal minutes
to eight. Evening dress indispen-
sable." The :Misses Harley " felt
that they were, at last, beginning to
live,
Edwin wrote to Mrs. Berry eaoh
day from the office in the luncheon
hour, and .generally a. letter came
to. Manor Road: by the last post at
night. But one eveningthe peru-
sal of the communication that bore
the postmark of Chelsea, S.W., 'cre-
ated a slight cheek. Edwin frowned
as he read.
"Is there anything wrong `l" ask-
ed Alice. The o=ther two girls were
out.
"Not exactly wrong," he replied,
"but a bit upsetting. I happened
to askher tto go for a short trip
next Saturday afternoon, and it
occurred to me it might be at once
interesting and nottoo expensive
to pay a vdsit to the nemetery where.
the late Mr. Berry-- To tell you
the truth, Alice, Ithought of taking
a bunch of violets."
"Very economical and thoughtful
of you, Edwin."
"That's what` I'm always aiming
at," he remarked. "Nov she writes
"Not until you are asked," order-
ed the lady.
Alice, the eldest girl, was waiting
'up when her brother returned. He
informed her in unusual tones of
compliment that everything had
gone off as well as could be expect-
ed; Mrs. Berry had said pheasant
things about his sisters, and she ad-
mired the house. She admired the
house so much, indeed, that .Edwin
thought it necessary to mention
that the girls would very shortly
:have to clear out.
"Where are we to gel" inquired
Alice.
"That's for you to settle."
"What you three have bo do," he
laid, resolutely, "is to Dave off be-
ing fond of it and get fond of some
young man."
"Easier said than done now."
"Depends entirely on the way
one sets about it," he asserted.
"Leave it all to lase."
He attended a political meeting
the followingnight, and, as oppor-
tunity occurred, spoke to acquain-
tances of his sisters. It pained him
to discover that despite testinion-
iala given, a certain reticence was
shown. and after a cricket match on
the Tuesday evening he spoke of
three wealthy and determined gen-
tlemen, now in Canada, contem-
plating a special trip to the old
country for the purpose of securing
the Misees Harley.
On the ensuing Sunday no fewer
present moment."
"She ought to have made a note
of it when the affair took plane."
"But apparently," eaxpdayned Ed-
win, win, "the sure it ever did take
place. She always referred to the
time when she lost her husband. I
naturally assumed—" He threw
the letter across the table. irritably,
"Seems we shall have to waist until
a certain time has expired in order,
that it will be safe for us to mar-
ry."
"You must have patience, them,"
inentioned Alice.
"Let the other two know," he or-
dered, . "Make it quite clear that
I'm the first to be married. They'll
have to go slow for a while."
"I'm not so sure than--"
"Don't argue," he shouted. "I'm
off now to see somebody who oan
give me legal advice.".
The .suspense terminated late. in
the week. M•rs. Berry called at the
office, saw Edwin by permission of
the (lief clerk, and on the landing
introduoed Mr. -Berry, now home
from a prolonged tour of the colo-
nies, and so well furnished with
money than his return had been
hailed with enthusiasm.
Mrs. Berry explained to her .hus-
band that Edwin had been- ireos>t
kind, and the wanderer, taking
young Harley' aside, gave him a
friendly word of warning to the ef-
fect • that kindness could now cease.
The gentleman stood six feet two.
in height, and Edwin agreed to ac-
rept the hint.
"Remember me to your dear sis-
ters," said Mrs. Berry in going.
