Mr. 8tackpole thought so when he came In late In the evening. After a few words with the hostess, he slipped Into a shadowy corner, and looked eagerly over the room until he saw Miss Hepaey sitting in a deep window a little aside.

Then he itood at her face as though he wished to read all that the past lost years had printed on It There was a yearning look In his eyes, a look of long hunger Htlsfled at last. Presently Miss Hepsey 's eyes, drawn perhaps by the magnetism of his. turned toward Mr. 8tackpole's corner and fell upon the remembered face. She turned her eyes away quickly; instantly the flame, long burled and smoldering in her heart, leaped up Into Ufe again, burning at her cheeks and choking her breath.

Poor Hepsey! She did not understand that It was Mr. Stackpole's glance of earnest love that had stirred the old pleasure and the old pain; she blamed her own heart for it all. When she raised her eyes they looked Into the face of Mr. 8tackpole. who was standing before.

"Hepsibah!" said he softly, holding out his hand to her. "Ah. Heps! bah!" The old name that she had hardly heard for yeans! Thi name be had called her by; how It thrilled her bringing to full life again the burled shadowy host of hopes, and loves, and yearnings! They started up, sud den, unlooked for and sublime, like old dead Incas thrown up In the grant earthquake; but not like them, wither ed and past reviving.

Fred Tracy brought me the desk yesterday, and just before coming here to-night 1 opened it and looked over the contents. Away in one corner, slipped carelessly into an old package of papers, was this, with the seal unbroken." "Lucy must have taken It out of the oflice." stammered Hepsey. "Yes. I suppose so. and in her careless way locked it into her desk and forgot it.

It must bave come while I was at Island Pond. It was so like Lticy. the dear, heedless child!" Hepslbah's face was full of amaxe; but there was also a tender light In It, very sweet to Hiram Stack poles eyes. "I am going to repeat that old question to-night," he said, softly, "and I shall hold you to the same answer, Hepsibah." "The same answer," repeated she, half unconsciously. The same question and the same answer! And the years that had come between were like a tale when It Is told.

Around the Metropolis Vhat Gomf On in York City Told in Intamsting Mnnnor PLANS FOR MAKING NEW TORE "OTT JEW YORK Plans for New York a "city beautiful" and obliterating the ugly including Chinatown and other districts of the East aide, as well as to enhance the famous old Battery, are sow well under way.

Though the nature-faking controversy left them unscathed, a newer and greater peril confronts them.

School teachers are declaring that the Teddy bear Is a menace and must be abolished, anu though the board of education has taken no of flclal action In the matter, and Is not likely to. the agitation against the Teddies In educational circles Is growing very strong Indeed. The crusade against the Teddy bear started recently, when a clerical gen tleman came mit with the statement that In replacing the doll, ths bear i was a pernicious substitute. For, wblle the doll appealed to all the nia ternal Instincts of a little girl and de- velopod them along healthy and nat ural lines, the Teddy bear did no such thing. Now the teachers have joined the fight.

Little girls, they point oat, formerly got their first lessons In sew lng through the natural desire to provide their dolls with pretty clothes The Teddy brat, however, does not wear clothes, hvo possibly a rihltoit or sweater or cap, and so ths up-todale child who has dtacardsd her dollies for ths Intrusive bruin, has no to lesrn to stitch and make button holH.
