her, and sent her word that though she had not been
as discreet as he could have wished during his ao
sence he wasn't disposed to make fuss about IT, ana
if che would Just hand the youpgster over to the per-
con to whom it belonged she might expect him home
in a few weeks, when; II be found her still unineum-
bered things would be all right between them.

word to the man she accused of being the cbds father
that he must come and get it. This, however ne
neglected to do until she began to get rather emoar-
raised for fear her husband should return before she
