"See here, Ruth," exclaimed Flora, a sudden thought flashing across her mind. "What was your mother's name?"
"Ruth, it was the same as mine," was the reply.
"Yes, but what was her last name?"
"Benson, I think."
"Well, then, I think I know your grandparents," cried Flora.
"You do? How? Where?" returned Ruth, in a puzzled, disjointed way.
"Wasn't, or isn't, your grandfather named Joseph Benson?" asked Flora.
"Yes, Joseph Major Benson; but how did you know?"
"Oh, I found out," was the answer. "And they live just a little way out in the country."
"But, how do you know all that?" persisted Ruth, incredulously.
