BOYCE MORGAN INSTALLMENT I TTELEN CHANDLER sat in her A' cna tde ar the 'west-bound express and gazed through the window with unseeing eyes, Other passengers in the car occasionally glanced at'her, noting the healthy tan of her checks, the smartness of her clothes, and the calm self- reliant expression on her youthful face. There was admiration and friendliness in their glances, and they would have been very' much surprised to know that at 'that very moment, Helen Chandler was wondering what was going to become of her.

i She had been wondering about that ever morning of the before, when a telegram bad been delivered by the rural, mail carrier'to tbe Hampshire girls' camp where she had been spending the summer. Ordinarily the telegram would have been telephoned to the camp office, but a bad storm had blown down the wires, and it had by mail, a day late. The telegram was breath-taking in its curtncss. It read "YOUR GRANDFATHER DIED THIS MORNING STOP NECESSARY FOR YOU TO LEAVE CAMP IMMEDIATELY." And it was signed by Tyson her grandfather's secretary. Helen had gone at once to Miss Edgerton, the camp counselor, and arrangements had been made for her departure.

One of the camp leaders had accompanied her to New York on the sleeper, and seen her safely aboard tbe west-bound train. She would reach- Sheltonville, where her grandfather had lived, that afternoon. And she had no idea what would be waiting for, her at the end of her journey! Helen settled more deeply into the green plush of her chair and watched the telegraph poles race by the window of the car. She was terribly sorry'about Grandfather, and wished she might have' seen him before he died. But be probably wouldn't have sent for her, ho had known lie would never see her again.

Grandfather Chandler had been a strange, jruff old man, and Helen felt that she had never really got to know him. She had visited him occasionally while her mother and father were still living, but these visits were always brief, and formal. Then, four years before, her parents had been killed in an automobile accident, and when her father's affairs were settled, Helen learned that there was very little money left to take care of ber. But tier grandfather had promised' to look out for her. and he to have ajenty of money, smiled rather sadly, She gazed at her nest'grey luggage, Tie boy stopped'at level what those matched bags had cost.

Sho thought of the of the camp where she spent and of'the tuition of the school where she spent her winters. 'All' of that had taken a lot' of money, and' her grandfather had provided it all. But Helen thought, rather wistfully, that she would have preferred'a littleness money, and a little more affection, from her grandfather. But he quite evidently hadn't wished to be bothered with her. He had' lived alone in his big, old house in Sheltonville, with only Tyson Peabody and Mrs.

Peabody, to look after him. During' vacations Helen might spend with him, but they were dreary, days, and she was always glad to She knew nobody in little she had never spent enough time there to get acquainted. For the past" few weeks, however, she had been' wondering with vague' alarm if something could be wrong with Grandfather, IDs-brief, formal letters had stopped coming. Miss Edgerton had told, her that the last installment had not yet been received. She had bad little spending money; in fact, Miss Edgerton had advanced the price of her railroad fare from camp to Shelton- ville.

Helen opened her purse and glanced inside, There were three dollars there. One-of them would go for 'the lunch'that she would have in a short After that, have just two dollars to her name-and not a close tbe world. And she know what sort of situation she would find in Sbclton- that grandfather was dead. i Well, she told herself, there was no use, about it would in a few hours She" thumbed the pages of a magazine for a while, and then' got up and walked forward to the dining car. she was having her lunch, her eyes were attracted to a boy sitting, at the table near the end of the car.

He was about her own age, and Helen liked his light brown hair, which was carefully brushed, his wide shoulders, and his bronzed, regular features. But she didn't like the way he'stared at her now and then, as though he were going to speak to her. She was sure she had never aeen him, be'fore in-her life. But when he paid his check and 'arose from the table, she realized suddenly that he was walking toward'her purposefully. She make Hire he not a brother of some girl she, knew, decided he was a complete stranger, and prepared to him with' the'frigid! politeness the" her' school showed presuming strangers.

The boy stopped her table. Helen gazed at him with cold, level eyes- giving him "the 'dead as the girls laughingly called it. Then she gasped a little. Theiboy smiled, and when he smiled, it was'impossible not to smile also. "I beg your said, "but aren't you Helen Chandler, and isn't old Mr.

Are you storing up health and strength for the coming; fall and Winter? Are you learning anything new, earning any doing 'anything worth-while? IB this summer merely a vacation, or is it a period that ig actually productive, in some way or "other? The ideal summer is one that you will look back on 10 years from now and nay, "Oh, That wu the summer I started my butterfly collection" (or earned money mowing lawns, or read so many good books, or helped make myself three new dresses, or learned to swim), Of course, nobody wants you to be solemn and serious about this vacation business, Have much 'M you possibly can, But remember that doing which you like, and which is worth while, is far more fun than idle, purposeless, play, There's still plenty of the summer left. Why not pick out some little goal to accomplish, and thus make this summer one to be remembered? said the boy. "But I'm Ralph Willon, and I live in Sheltonville, on the same stiect as your grandfather. I've seen you there a couple of "Oh." Helen paused a moment, then remembered 'her "Won't you sit down?" The boy thanked her, and took the chair across from her.

Helen gazed him a moment, and said, "Evidently you dont know that my grandfather has just died. 1 Ralph Wilson's eyes widened with surprise. "No, I didn't know," he said quickly. "I've been away for two weeks, visiting my aunt in Trenton. 1 I'm just on ray way riding' in one of the day coaches up ahead.

But say, I'm awfully sorry about your'grandfathcr. He was one 'of Dad's patients, you know. My Dad's a doctor. 1 Somehow'that'Memed'to make the boy a friend. In a moment Helen found herself telling him about the she had received, and about her.

"I'don't know him very well," Helen answered, "but I don't think I like him, either." They talked steadily until the-train pulled into tho station at Sheltonville. Then Ralph said good-bye hastily, promising to call her up and ran to greet his mother and sister, who were 'waiting for him in a car, Helen Tyson Peabody, whom she had sceb standing on the platform as the train pulled in.
