But the persoa who toe ad occasion to refer to tlie bis book most fre quently waa Mr. Winter. Mr. Winter was a grocer. Of coarse la his busi ness he dslly met with maay terms that required elucidation. Hitherto he had found the pocket dictionary perfectly satisfactory, .but tfler tha advent of the unabridged dictionary the much-worn, greea-backed little book suddenly lost Us aacfulnea*. and never an evening passed that Mr. Winter did not- rap at Mrs. Culber son's door and politely reqaest to "como In and look at the dictionary a minute." Ills prolonged visits annoyed Mrf. Culberson at lirat. Ills presence pre vented her scolding ituth, sad aa ha himself seemed deeply Immersed la scholastic lore, thus forbidding open ing a conversation with him. the poor old lady'a evonings became seasons of axial alio torment , • "I doa't know what makea him come up here so often," she said pet tishly one night after he had closed the dictionary and gone away, "lia'a an nwful bore." "It's your own fault be comae," raid Ruth. "You Invited him." "Of course I Invited him." re'orted Mrs. Culberson. "I Invited all ot tbem. Imesn't be annoy yon?" "No," she said softly. "I doa't know that he does." Aa tho spring days took on the heat of summer, Mr*. Culberson became more fretful, Ituth grew younger and prettier and Mr. Winter studied still later each evening. In blissful obilvloa of the added heat of the gas Jet Mrs. Culberson had long ataea ceased sitting up waiting for him to go, but bade him good night, and went to bed in the nest room. Ono evening In early June 10 o'clock passed, and Mr. Winter had aa yet made no movement toward colas away. Buth watched him cloaoly, aa she always did when he seemed en grossed with the words before him, and she noticed that ha had aot turned a page tor more thaa aa boar. Be looked ay at length and their eyaa met Bath faK tar CM* flashing again, aad with tha realisation of her weakneee tha flash grew flssjar. "It's a pretty knotty srahtom that I have haaa pnaaHng over tonight," he said with a sigh. "Couldn't you and what yon were looking forr ahe aaked softly. "I hardly kaow. I found the word I wanted. Whether It will ever aseaa to me what I would like it to asaaa I do not know. Here B la. I have bean looking at It a good deal lately." He turned the M« dictionary mead till she could read the line over which his flagnr rested. There waa ana word underlined with a pencil, aad ahe knew B was the oaa ha wlahad her to aea.
