Everybody 1? Little River declared
that Lucy Mellen would be tired ?.f
waiting for Ansel Peever.
"Walt unttl I come back from Tall
fornla. dearest." Ansel bad whispered
"Then I will li;ive such a home and
such acres of greenhouses thai I will
not be ashamed to ask you to give up
your splendid home on the hill."
Of course Lucy's heart prompted her
to tell him to remain with her What
cared she for the promised wealth of
the golden west when the solid renllry
of Ansel's thrifty little flower business
was ready and watting for them l*?th?
But Ansel looked so downhearted and
disappointed at her answer that Lucy
availed herself of the feminine prlvl
lege and changed her mind.
"You'd better go. Ansel." she nrped
him. "I will wait for you If you should
bo gone a hundred years," she added
recklessly.
So it was arranged as Ansel's pride
prompted him, and Lucy stayed In her
father's comfortable home on the hill i
top and watched the black smoke from
Ansel's tratn dissolve In the May sun
shine even as her hopes and happiness
dissolved In a burst of grief.
A hundred days went by. and Ansel's
letters were full of homesickness and
enthusiasm. A hundred weeks passed,
and the letters contained less hope
fulness and the same strain of longing
for home. Lucy wrote and urged him
to come home. "Let the old fortune
go," she wrote hastily. "There Is
plenty to do In Little Iliver, and Ste
phen Tuttle will l>e glnd to sell the
greenhouses back to you."
Hut Ansel was obstinate as well ns
proud, and he did not comc home In
answer to Lucy's api?cal. A hundred
months went by? eight long years and
four months? nnd Lucy's Aunt Itebec
cn Prentice repeated the words sho
had dinned Into her nleee's pretty ears:
"He's neTer coming back again.
Lucy. Ton might as well have mar
ried Leouard Deane or the minister
and had a family growing up around
you Instead of wasting your life wait
ing for a man who has forgotten you."
"I don't believe Ansel has forgotten
me. Aunt Rebecca." Lucy said patient
, ly. "It has taken longer for him to
make a fortune than he expected?
I that's all."
I One April morning Lucy Mellon
found herself quite nloDo In the world.
Her parents hnd died shortly after An
| sol went away, nnd now Aunt Rebec
on bad succumbed to pneumonia, nnd
the big empty house on the bill seem
ed bigger and emptier than ever. At
the end of a year Lucy hnd managed
to almost beggar herself by several
foolish Investment*, and there came a
day when the red flag swung to the
breexe above the Mellen place.
"What are you going to do now,
Lucy Mellen?" demanded her next
door neighbor, Mrs. Ilall. "Here
you've got all your furniture crated up
as if you was going away, and you
ain't said a word to nobody!"
"I'm going to California." said Lucy
calmly, though her pale cheeks flushed.
"Ansel bus sent for me to come out
there and be married. You see, he's so
busy he can't get away Just now."
"Well, of all things!" cried Mrs. Hall
excitedly. "You don't mean that you,
a single woman, are going away out
there all alone to get married?"
"I'm thirty -five." said Lucy obsti
nately, "and Ansel's folks are out
there, you know."
Mrs. Hall said no more, but twisted
the shawl tighter around her thin face
and fairly flew down the street to be
the first one to transmit the startling
news to Little Hlver.
Lucy's friends were at the station to
bid her goodby when she started on
her long Journey. Her household goods
had gone on n week before, and when
the last moment came there were
many tears* and good wishes nnd lots
of rice and old shoes flying after her.
Lucy looked strangely pale and sileut
for a bride to be. but she had been that
way for so many years now tbnt ber
friends quite forgot what a merry, light
hearted girl ?be hnd been when Ansel
first wooed her.
Then the train thuudered away to
ward New York, nnd Lucy leaned her
pale face against the window and
closed her frightened eyes. She hnd
never taken irach a long Journey, nnd
she was quite unused to traveling, but
that was not the worst of It She
had told a number of downright lies
Ansel Peever bad not sent for her; he
did not know she was coming out
there, and sb<t hnd not heard from him
for two months.
It was thin knowledge that made
/.acy Mellen no miserable as her train
flew westward. Every mile that
brought her nearer to Ansel also made
her heart beat faster until at last
when she reached San Francisco and
changed cars for the little town In
Santa Barbara county she was almost
sick with retaorse and shame at her
own daring.
At last it was time for her to get
off. She saw her trunks dumped on
the station' platform at Redcllflf. and
then the train rolled away among the
vineyards and orange groves, while
she was left in the soft, balmy atmt*
phere of the land of flowers.
"Ansel Peever'a place T repeated the
ttatlon agent. "It'? Hiw miie* down
the valley. Ill hare Hawkes carry
you there. It'll ri>st you four blta,
ma'atn."
"Poor what!" rented pu**l?d
Lucy
"Four bits? CO rata. I suppose
you're froui the east." smiled the man
good naturedly. ?nd Lucy said ibat
abe wus. and she thanked lilin prettily
for attending t<? l??-r trunks.
Seated hi l >??> Irai klumnl ? Uh her j
truuk* lasiwd <>u behind. the two lean
roan horses clattered over the road
mticb foater than Lucy mred to have
them.
TTie ronns slowed down, and
Hawkes (Hiljited a whip around a
curve of the road. "Peever"* place I*
Just around that l<eiwl." he arild
"Stop here. please!" panted Lucy, !
with arnlden alarm. "Please wait |
here while I go on and speak to ;
tbero."
Lucy fluttered away around tbe
beud of tbe road. looking very pale !
and fragile In her gray traveling dreaa
with a gray chiffon veil tied about hi r
hat and framing her delicate fac?
with It* soft folds. Her heavy golden
hair lay In rippling waves under the
veil, and Ihe occasional silver threads
that time had woven were quite hid
den from view. If I.ucy's cheeks had
lieen pink she would have looked very
much like Ihe Lucy of old.
Tbe pink came fast enough when
she found herself hesitating at a pret
ty rustic gate set In an evergreen
hedge. Ile.vond was a small cottage
get In the midst of flowers. Awny to
the west there stretched a thriving
vineyard, and beyond to the south
there was another cottage, newer and
freshly imlnted. and all around thla
cottage as fur us the eye eonld see
were orange groves. Lucy could smell
tbe odor of the waxen blossoms, and
alio could s?"e the jrold of the ripened
fruit as she made her way up tbe
|>ath to Ansel's house.
Her first doubt of Ansel Peevef
came when she ?aw n woman on ihe
porch eying her cnrhmsly. Around
the woman's skirts there clung a lit
tle child. Lucy's lienrt almost stopped
beating. Aunt llelwcca was right
after all? Ansel was married, and this
was his wife and ehlld Mo wonder
be bad never come for her! What
would Ihey Ihlnkl What would Little j
River think ?
All these thlnjra p*s*<sl through her
mind l>cfor? she reached the |?orvh.
There she stopped and looked at the
woman with appealing eyes.
"1 nm looking for Ansel Peever's
house." she said.
"This Is It. but my husband Is nwjy
Just at present. I expect him back In
about nil hour. Won't yon come In
and rest swhlle?" The woman smiled
pleasantly, but she was evidently cn- |
rlous about Lucy's unexpected ?!>
pea ranee.
"I'll rest n Utile while." hesitated
Lucy, "but I must go hack presently.
There's a carriage waiting for me
around the- bend."
Luov sat down In a rocking chair
and looked so while and wan that Mrs
Peever fetched rt glass of Ice cold mill
and made her drink It. After a whl'e
Lucy wns able to sit up and amlle ba< k
at the little laughing girl who clung
to her knee
"I cannot wait to aee Ansel? Mr. ?
Peever. Perhaps I will come again |
some time." said Lucy at last aa she :
prepared to leave.
"You are from the east. I am sure," i
said the woman bluntly. "If you are
one of Ansel's folks from Little River
he'll be mighty disappointed If you
don't ^ay or leave your name any
wav."
"Yon may tell him that Lory Mellen
called to we him," MM Lncy as she
bent down to kiss the little girt. Ttien.
with n murmured word of thanks lo
Mrs. Peever. she harried down the
walk.
Then Mrs. Peever found voice. "Locy
Mellen. Lucy Mellon! Come back
here!" she called Imperatively.
Lucy turned. "What do yon want?"
she asked.
"Walt a minute." called the other,
and she came running; down tbe path
and laid a hand on L tier's shrinking
shoulder. "I thought yon wanted to
see my husband." she panted, "but It's
young Ansel you're looking for. I
gues-s. Won't he be surprised to we
you. though!" She laughed merrily.
"Young Ansel!" repeated Lncy dax
edly.
"My husband's nepbew. They're
both named Ansel Peever. I'm Mr.
Peever's so?-ond wife and sort of step
aunt to your Ansel. That's his house
nest door all ready for yon? Just tln
isbod-and Ansel Inside there rigging
himself up to go oust after you this
very minute. I'll run over and fetch
him You wait here. Lucy."
Mrs Peever ran fleetly across the
lawn, while Lncy aank weakly down
on a garden seat. Happy tears filled
ber tired eyes, and tbe little girl, who
was not Ansel's after all came and
heaped roses In her lap.
Then Ansel himself stood before ber,
thinner, browner, older, but the same
Ansel save that tbe youthful pride and
artogahce had been hammered out of
him by the foundry of erperlence.
"Lncy- Lucy!" an Id Ansel brokenly j
"*1 was fretting ready to come after
yon. I haven't ttoatfe a fortune and I |
never will have on?, but Pre got a
?ottnge and an orange grove, and now
Pre got yon. 1 didn't realtee In lea*- ,
Ing yon. dear, that I was leaving my j
fortune behind me. I was ashamed to
go back to t.lttle River until 1 had |
done something big. Tben I beard
from somebody that you'd lost every
thing through some rascality, and so
I made up my mind to go after yon.
Can you forgive me. Lucy, dear?"
Of course Locy forgave him. and
they were married the very neit day
In the new cottage, and they went to
Little River on their honeymoon
