"I shall be glad to see you there, eyes were sparkling and her cheek*
and, of course, you will meet many oth
er old friends at the same time. Yours
very sincerely,
"ETHEL ADEN.
' "P. S—Please come If you can."
"Ethel’s graduation—yes, I remem:
ber she was looking forward to that
event,” mused the young physician.
"Still, this invitation Is quite unexpect-
ed. I wonder why she sent It."
He recalled the girl as he had seen
her a few months ago—almost one year
,-go. Vivacious, willful, with brilliant
coloring to match her exuberant spirits,
Ethel Aden was a remarkable contrast
to her sister Emma, who had always
lived up to the descriptive phrase, "a
little lady.”
No one could remember Emma Aden
-when she had been anything but slim
and self-possessed. Her nut-brown
•hair was sleek as silk, severely parted
-and coiled low at the back of her small
head. Her nut-brown eyes reflected
the purity and peace of the spirit with-
in. Her voice was low and sweet like
'the haunting chime of vesper bells.
She always wore soft colors and an air
of gentle dignity.

crimson. She looked handsome tonight.
The young man was stirred at sight
of her.
“Ethel, you’ve grown up!” he teased.
“The bud Is a full-blown flower.”
Her eyes felj to a bouquet of pink
roses she was holding. "Thank you
for your roses, Doctor Conway,” she
said with unusual shyness. Then she
leaned nearer. "Have you seen Em-
ma?” she asked.
"Only from a distance," replied the
doctor, with sobered face.
“But you will speak to her? She
knows you are here. But she doesnt
know I wrote," said Ethel hastily. She
looked Into his gloomy eyes, then away,
and motioned for him to step to one
side.
“It’s a queer place for confidences,
but I must tell you something—to-
night. I’m afraid I’ve made mischief;
I don’t know how much." Ethel was
speaking in low, restrained tones and
with her eyes downcast. “I hoped you
and Emma would meet and be friendly
tonight. But I’ve seen her—and I’ve
seen you—and I know I must ‘fess
iup.’”
She raised her eyes to meet his In-
