looked up to and regarded as quite tha

manly virtue.
“Now, that cousin had a obum of
whom be thought ao much that ha nev-

girl cousin. She was fourteen pears
old, I believe, and vary Impression-
able. Anyway, aha became so Interest-

in her fsnoy the place of a hero. She
even stole one of his photographs aad
kept It hidden away where nobody else
oould see It, but where she could take
a peep at It whenever she wanted to."
The expression that was slowly ovsg
spreading Tom’s visage was almost lu-
dicrous. By degrees he was compre-

amazement at her disclosure, aha must
have been eminently well pleased with

Tha fellow's manner was furtive
