word or look of ljve was be stowed upon ber what wonder that when claude smith one of her aunts summer board ers became interested in the girls pretty face and shy sweet ways and told her the oil story bar yearning heart responded with a passionate love i her aunt being only too glad to have the girls support fall on other ahoul ders consented to the nnion and one evening there was a quaint wedding ar the little cottage and she became a wife then followed weeks of perfect hap piness for the girl whose life had been so lonely until one evening her hus band came to ber with a troubled look
