Her evnsive reply increased my
suspicion, and after twirling my nap
kin moment, l said:
Well, we sometimes know the rea.
son of things, and, therefore, are not
obliged to ask for information
Two days after, papa returned, and
after tea we gathered in the parlor,
for papa is lawyer and did not stay
in the Office evenings. 1 told Florie
that the next time papa asked me to
sing l should sing the piece called Il
Cannot Call Her Mother;' and as
was momentarily expecting such re-
quest, was trying to get up the cour-
age to do so. 2 '' 1910
Before Florie could reply, papa
opened his eyes and asked me to play,
and l arose with a futtcring Of the
heart to do so.
/ took up pile Of music and look
ed it over, in order to gain time; then
laying il down on the music stand, l
struck the first note to the prelude Of
the piece l had said I would sing
Before l began the words, Mrs. Allen
left the room.
She knew what it was, and thought
it might lead to remarks that she
would not like to hear. My voice
never once faultered, and the words
were thrown into MS much feeling as
possible.
When it was finished, there was
perfect silence in the room for few
moments. I finally began a lively
march, put papa interrupted me, and
said in a pleasant tone:
You need not play any more this
evening, Nellie, for me. I hope you
did not sing those verses because they
express your sentiments, did you?'
Il do not know what difference it
can make to any one whether those
lines express my feelings or not I
replied rather coldly.
1T will make some difference with
our future happiness he continued.

course it will make the lady your
mother. Are you not prepared to

I felt q choking sensation in the throat,

she is in her grave, whom 1 cannot

This last act of forbearance was more
