"Now, Frau Thomas, we have the Sc
cret, and that is where you have been un-
just, and wrOnged your husband. You
daily exhibited regret that his life had
been saved at so great sacrifice to your
self. 1t left him in more uncertainty re-
garding your love for him, and can you
blame him if he did not think his life too
dearly bought? 1t was noble in him not
to reproach you for saving his life at the
cost of the one dearer to you. Is it not SO,
Thomas ?''
'Truly, you have read my feelings bet
ter than l could have explained them
Frequently my heart seemed to break
when | realized what you have said, but
could not blame her, when she had done
SO much for me-"
The wOman's face was study. EN-
barrassment, regret, perpleXity-all ap-
peared, until for very shame she cast her
self upon her husbands breast, begging
his pardon.
1t was his turn to be embarrassed now,
and it was really touching to see the man
act as if he had done something very fool
ish
l left them confident in their future hap
piness, and 50 it proved. In time another
child came to bless the sorely-tried moth
er's heart, but never again the question,
