She hud known the postman since he was seven. He had a pleas ant word for her whenever he saw her. He was passing as usual when suddenly lie turned hack and came to the steps where Olga was sitting io warm herself. The house was cold within. “You’ve got a nice place here, Miss Hurd,” he said. “But it’s klnda off by itself like. And you live all alone. Don’t you ever get lonesome?” Tears filled Olga's eyes. She swal lowed hard, struggled for calm speech. “You’re the first person that’s ever asked me if 1 was lonesome," she said at last. “Everybody seems to take it tor granted that I live here this way because I want to.” The postman shifted his leather until pouch with its bulging contents “1 don't know what made me ask you that,” he said apologetically. But the truth was the sight of the woman sitting there in the sunshine, tiny and old and pathetic, on a morning made for youth, love and joy. touched his heart. He had just got engaged to a nice girl and he wanted everybody to be as happy as he was. “And I don’t know what makes me want to fell you something I have never breathed to a living soul in this town, though I have lived here many years,” Olga replied. “I've got folks Not here; a long ways off. Once 1— 1 did something that set Jhem all against me. And now 1 wouldn’t make up with one of them to save his life.” Her wistful look became grim. “I’d let ’em all go hang,” the post man said. Then tie moved away, re solving to bring his old friend a box of candy on tiis next trip round that afternoon. But before another hour had passed Olga had a visitor. A blue coupe drove right up to.the door. Out stepped a girl who brought a pair of suitcases with her. She marched up to Olga, who was sweep ing the front porch. “Hello. Aunt olga!” she Said. “I’m your niece. Helen, your youngest brother Gordon’s girl. Now, don’t send me away without giving me a trial. Maybe you’ll like me when you get to know me.” Olga, white and stern, faced the vivid, dark girl who looked so fresh and pretty in her tan sports costume She did not speak. “Aunt Olga.” Helen said, “I’ve come to you for sanctuary.” “Sanctuary!” gasped Olga. And then she understood. She held out her arms. The girl met her in a warm embrace. “You’ve got to be good to me, Aunt Olga,” she said. “Good to you!” Olga sobbed. “Oh. my dear! You’ll see.” They shared the lunch that was barely big enough for one. Not that food mattered. Olga was too happy to eat. She could only gaze at her radiant young niece. Her own flesh and blood companioning her in her house after all the years of loneliness! Next day Helen confided to her aunt that she was going to be married. ‘‘Will you let me he married here? I’ve enough money for all my things.” So the child was going to be mar ried ! Further confidences followed. Olga asked no questions; she let Hel en tell what she would. Helen seemed to he quietly matter of fact. For the next fortnight the blue coupe dashed hack and forth betwixt hamlet and city. Olga had entered upon a great and delightful adventure She was helping Helen choose her wedding trousseau. The house must he fixed up for the wedding, too—new paper, paint, draperies. Olga drew from- her small savings and let Helen spend the money. The girl had rare good sense and not a penny got away from tier honest and earnest grasp Poo. she could hari£ wall paper and wield a paint brush in a way that made Mr. Seeley, the local house deco rator. stare in amazement. •‘My business,” Helen explained taughing, and again Olga got a sur prise. “Interior decorating —that’s my job. 1 gave four years to it at col leg£. Confess, Aunt Olga, that you like your house a lot better. To me it looks as if it had taken its apron off and changed its dress. It’s a house to be happy in now—and gay and just a bit foolish, maybe. The house was ready now for the wedding. Helen’s colorful gowns looked in keeping, strewn about the rooms. Even Olga had anew frock, a misty gray thing. And Helen had. almost forcibly, borne her into a beauty shop in town and had her silk en silvery hair given a permanent. Olga had just loved the operation; she had felt rich and luxurious and almost young as she sat In an atmosphere ot faint perfume and gentle ministration, waiting for her hair to be done. Helen’s wedding day seemed to be attended by a good nf mystery but still Olga asked no questions. She was letting herself he borne along on a tide of expectancy and joy. Dick came the day before. He was big and young and splendid. When he kissed 01-m and called her aunt she had a delicious thrill. From the moment of his arrival there was a whirl of glee. Dick and Helen brought in armfuls of flowers. Olga grew a hit reckless and made a sponge cake with six eggs. On the day of days Helen made THE RO( KD\LE RECORD FRIDAY.

She even touched Olga’s cheeks with rouge from her own vanity case, "Oh, you darling!" the girl breathed, her eyes lustrous. "To think of all you might have had”—the lustrous eyes dimmed with tears. Helen looked lovely in her filmy frock. Dick was grand. At the last moment it seemed a great closed car drove up to the house. Out of it stepped an elderly couple, an old couple, a single woman, a sin gle man, a glowing young girl. “Who are these,” gasped Olga, and her cheeks paled under the dainty rouge. Helen put an arm about the trem bling figure. “My father and mother," she said, "Uncle Pat and Aunt Elsie, Cousin Adelade, Cousin George and Cousin George’s daughter, Jean. All the best of the clan are here. Aunt Olga, not so much to come to my wedding as to do you honor. Keep calm. Carry it off—for my sake. Uemember you are altogether lovely, that Dick and I love you, that I chose your home for the most glorious event of my whole life. Now behave like a dear little hostess and welcome your relatives.” And Olga rose to the occasion. Her dignity and her grace and her hospi tality lent charm to the whole occa sion. After the ceremony a caterer brought in the wedding luncheon at which Aunt Olga was almost as much admired as the bride herself. The following afternoon a happy young couple sat in a boat that drifted gently on a sun lit lake. “It took lots of head work to pull off that si tint." Helen said. “Dad and mom were dead against it at first and Cousin Adelaide turned up tier aristo cratic nose. But I was a determined woman. You remember that day we found Aunt Olga’s picture in that old album? That’s when I got the idea of going to her house and being married there. Of course. I had to win her over by degrees; it wasn’t 1 easy. Her pride had suffered too keenly. It only they had been kinder she would not have run away and wasted her life in solitude and loneliness—oh. Dick, dar ling! Did you see her face when site held my orange blossoms in her hands?" Helen's voice broke. Dick bowed his head. "And noth ing ever looked purer than did stie at tiiat moment —not even you. my flaw less pearl of girls.” he said tenderly Italian Long Ago Had Idea of “Flying Boat” Francesco de l.ana gave both the believers in flying and the skeptic of his day. something serious to think about in his design for a flying boat published in 1670. He stirred up a veritable tempest which did not sub side for more than a hundred years, when tiie principle he sponsored was made practical in the invention ot the Montgolfier brothers. As late as 1753. Clement Cavalcaho, Baroni delli Mar chesi, refuted Lana's supposition with these conclusions: “The atmosphere has always been unknown to man. and will continue to he a region unknown to him. No one. not even the Demon himself, has the power to teach man any method by which he may explore that region, either by increasing his motive power or by diminishing very considerably his specific gravity/’ Fif teen years later, Bernardo Znmngna. one of the perennial defenders of l.ana, brought out his description of an imaginary journey in a flying ma chine similar in construction to Lana’s flying boat. Lana’s much discussed design proposed the use of four hol low spheres of ttiin copper, each 20 feet in diameter and so thin that they would weigh less than an equal bulk of atmosphere when they were ex hausted of air. To these globes a boat was to he fastened in which the pilot and his appendages were to he stationed for the purpose of directing the machine. l.ana was thus the first to establish a theory verified by math ematical accuracy anti clearness of perception of the real nature and pres sure of the atmosphere, the same the ory which is at the basis of balloon flying of the present day. A public ascension of a flying boat invented by Bartholomeau Loureneo de Gusman, a Spaniard, is claimed for 1700. hut it was I.ana’s investigations which were the most far reaching tn influence. Many of his deductions were drawn from the work of his predecessors and from a study of me chanical toys, the flying mechanical pigeon of Archytas. the flying mag netic dove of Kircher, and iron auto matic fly and eagle which were invent ed at Nuremberg. A curious parallel to this is found in the automatic toy of the Wright brothers, the study of which led them to certain conclusions concerning the nature of air. later ap plied in the construction of the first successful airplane in 1903.—Boston Herald.
