Mrs. Brett stirred the sleeping fire to a livelier blaze. "Wouldn't you like a cup of tea?" she inquired hospitably.

"There ain't a Maitland Living I don't know all about," she declared, "How did he happen to eome here, Mary?" Mrs. Brett stated truthfully that the young man had spent the day with her.

"That ain't Van Auken's Dan, is it?" inquired the station master, pausing beside the window. "I didn't get a good squint at him." "Looked like him to me," replied the operator, turning back to his instrument. Daniel Maitland striving to lift his perturbed spirit to the unfamiliar Presence—her Friend, henceforth to be his—determined to go straight to the store and "have it out" with Van Auken. He glanced at the silver watch Mrs. Brett had given him at parting. It had belonged, she said, to her son, his first watch and still a good tame keeper. Van Auken would be preparing to go home to supper and there would be few customers about. He must think what to say— how to inform his one-time "master" that be would remain his bondsslave ne longer. He resolved to confess his theft first. It was possible Van, Auken had not missed the 'money.
