"Liiey,” said Mrs. Wharton to her |
married sister-in-law, "there is some- |
thing tin* matter with Silas. Have ,
you* noticed V”
"Why do you ask?" inquired 1 or vis
itor. and her shrewd eyes scanned the
face of tin* first speaker keenly.
"Because he isn't the same as he
was before he went to visit the city.
He is restless, uneasy, given to long
lonely walks, and lie's got a new habit
of whistling tinder his Ityenth in a
smiling, thoughtful way.”
"That isn't a had sign, Mary, is it?"
rallied Mrs. Bartley. "Anything else?"
••Why, yes. After lie came back
from the city he wrote several letters
and mailed them.”
"They must cover business of some
kind.”
"Well, maybe,” sighed Mary Whar
ton, “hut it sort of worries me. Then,
too, the postman brought several rolls
that he never opened before us.”
"Perhaps magazines or music,” sug
gested Lucy. "Don’t try and imagine a
mystery, dear. Brother Silas Is a
plain, steady-going man and isn’t up
to any mischief that I know.”
The subject wqs dismissed, but
when she left the Wharton home Mrs.
Bartley did some thinking. She did
not tell hi*r sister-in-law, but she was
secretly aware of the fact that her
brother- Imd been going every o^ber
day to see Miss Jennie Thurston. The
latter was a very old maid, a music
teacher, prim, sedate, a model of re
spectability and a stickier for tin* pro
prieties. I.ulcy was a forceful, definite
little woman, ami site set her lips res
olutely as she went to see Miss Thurs
ton on her way home.
"Jennie,” she said in her abrupt,
elear-headetl way, "has Si Ins been
coming here pretty often lately?"
"For an hour twice a week,” was
tin* prompt response.
"What for?”
"To learn a tune.”
"You don't moan that Silas has been
taking music lessons of you!” ex
claimed iho astonished Lucy.
"On the piano, you moan,” smiled
Miss Thurston. "Oh, dear, no—to
whistle/’
"You are puzzling me.”
"You needn’t he. it's his business,
and it's not mine to spread it, but
your brother came to me three weeks
ago offering to pay me to play a piece
ho had. or rather several, hut different
arrangements of a song. Tie wanted
to ionrn it, he said, hut only to whistle
It. It was a sort of old-time piece
called ‘Sally in Our Alley.’ He got it
pretty fair, paid me for my timb, and
that's all.”
I "You mvstlfy me more than ever,”
miurmnred Mrs. Bartley pCrpiexeuty. j
"Is Silas getting musical In his old
age?”
"Not at nil, and perhaps I had hot- |
ter tell you more to clear the situa
tion," said Miss Thurston. "He told
me that when in the city a friend
took him to a mu'dr hall. A famous
singer rendered some old-time songs,
and among them ‘Sally.’ You know
how we all take a fancy to some spe
cial tune and love to hear it over and
over again. Well, Silas told me that j
the first time lie met Mary, thirty '
years ago, it was at a concert where j
‘Sally’ was sung. Somehow he nsso-J
dated this with, his good, fortune of'
falling in love with her. Anyhow, it
stayed with him as the sweetest, trill
ing music lie had ever heard, and it is
pretty, too. When lie heard it in the
city he couldn’t keep from liking it
more than even ‘When lie got hack
he wrote to half a dozen music pub
lishers to get a copy of it. That’s all,
Lucy.”
Luev hastened to apprize Mary of
these facts and the mind of the latter
was immensely Relieved.
Arthur Wharton the next day told
ids rimthQf how he had passed a lone
ly spot in the timber where Ids father
whs whistling for dear life, and me
lodiously, too, and the day following
Silas seemed to have decided that lie
had now mastered Ids favorite song.
Half a dozen times Mary caught the
echo of its rendition and was pleased
lo listen to it, and more than ever lie-
cause a sort of romantic sentimental
ism attached to it.
After that, every day the whislllny
ability of Hiram was tcstwl and
not. found wanting in fresh ardor and
volume, lmt toward the end of autumn
Silas caught si severe cold, had to take
to h'N bod and Id- musical exercises
were naturally hushed.
"Mother." said Arthur one after
noon. “Milly Bland is coming over to
night. You know wo are engaged and
I haven’t to>111 father \ c "
"He suspects it already, Arthur."
"Yes huh he is always talking about
waiting a year or two before I think
of marrying. I want him to see and
like Millv. And besides." added Ar
thur, "I have a little surprise for him
that may also bring things about our
way."
Clever Arthur Wharton had fnund
a way to gain tlie attention and in
terest of his father for ills fiancee.
Propped in his chair, the old nVm sat
up like one electrified as at the piano
Milly Bland played and sang ids fa
vorite tune.
He was on ids foot a new man the
next day. Hi* could not whistle with
normal readiness as yet, lmt Hi?
happy face' showed that 111»* sweet
mellow strains of “Sally In Our Alley*
wen* ever present in his mind.
"Arthur," he said, "maybe a \%ar is
too long to wait to get that delightful
song bird here. Make it as soon as
von like.".

don tri'ced to a mass of pipes and a
stedl reservoir. Attached to books in
the wall were a dozen clusters of Joy
balloons, as many as twenty in a bunch
and fully intiated. It was easy to sur
mise that the il(*ii in which he, and
little Marjorie, too. probably, were cap
tives. belonged to men who made si
business of manufacturing or selling
tlm red and blue globes.
From beyond a partition he could
catch the strident tones of the two
men who bad brought him hither in
termingled with the low walling cry
of an Infant. This latter aroused him
as if b> magic. Gordon thought of the
desolated father and mother, of
Gladys, who fairly worshiped the little
child. It seemed that escape from his
prison place was impossible, but he
could not be inert. He discovered a
steplndder, placed it under the high
window, and ascending it could look
four stories down into a noisy busy
street. A protruding roof extended
from the second story, but the window
was too small for him to crowd
through. The building at one corner
of the Intersecting streets Gordon at
once recognized, and was able to de
cide that the one he was in was 301
Broad avenue.
A sudden inspiration came to him.
He took out his card case, well stocked
with bits of pasteboard. Hastening
to take advantage of the waning day
light he wrote upon half a hundred of
these:
"The kidnaped child of Mr. Arnold
Brill, and Gordon Meath are held pris
oners. fourth story, 301 Broad avenue.
Notify the police.”
To each card he fitted a piece of
stringy tied it to the tfiread of each
of the grouped balloons, and severing
these us soon as dark came let loose
through the window over 50 of these
little messengers.
Gordon did not expect any return
from his experiment until morning,
as those which finally dellated might
not be discovered amid the darkness
of night. He lay down on the floor to
rest, to be aroused at midnight by an
attack on the door. It was burst open.
Accompanied by three officers, and ca
ressingly currying the little infant in
his arms, Lemuel Todd came into the
room, lie showered blessings and grat
itude upon Gordon. He discovered his
wounds and instantly ordered a taxi
cab.
“Your balloon messages did it.* ypu
brave old .hero!” he exulted. “Yv,u
are not hurt badly enough to need a
hospital, but my wife and-sister are
capital nurses, and you are going to
be housed under our care until you
are well nod strong again.”
A blissful week followed, the preface
to a rapturous courtship, and when
Gordon Meath was discharged ns a
convalescent, love hftd cemented his
destiny with that of the beautiful
Gladys.
