Through the thick trees the moonlight searched out the side porch of Hopewell Drugg's store. The plaintive notes of the storekeeper's violin breathed tenderly out upon the evening air: "Darling, I am growing old-- Silver threads among the gold" sighed Janice, happily. "And that is Miss 'Rill beside him there on the porch--don't you see her?" "I see," said Nelson. "Mrs. Beasely is helping 'Rill make her wedding gown. Little Lottie is going to have a new mamma." "And--and Hopewell's been playing that old song to her all these years!" murmured Janice. "They are just as happy----" "Aren't they!" agreed Nelson, with a thrill in his voice. "I hope that when we're as old as they are, we'll be as happy, too. Do you suppose----" Nobody but Janice heard the rest of his question--not even the echo!
