CHAPTER III.
"Why, Grace, is it possible 2" and
there was a quick change and tremu-
lousncss on the face Of Margaret Al
lyn as she entered the parlor, and
Grace Street rose up to see her.
"Are you glad to see me, Margaret" 2"
There was great doubt wavcring
along the words, and Grace's greedy
eyes emphasized the doubt.

arms about the young girl as sister
would have done.

cheeks; but now, the great, still,

shadowy mountains, were like tho
checks of Margaret Allyn and the
brown depths of her eyes were full Of
look which touched on suffering.

Grace, quiet and steadfast now, for

"No."
The graceful head that had trick

now.
