turning, he shut the door behind him
haTshly. She dared not g0in, and he
did not wish her to follow. He sat
down and hid his face In his hands,
enraged at fate. Dolly had loved her
pretty daughter. Jacob had idolixed,
her. .cShe belonged to prosperous days

among simple, sweet scenes, fitted by
her life and gaiety to 60 along with
birds, butterflies and spring blossoms.
Was she dead? Oh, worse to him -
she was Lost to him, In anger, not In
sorrow. Down somewhere, this hot
night, in the surging life Of the great
city was q woman and . child; all
color gone from the cheeks and the
lite Of the ope-the other shame brand
cd by It's birth. She was not In actual
but she had slnned--she had fallen,
and so be said she was no child Of his.

one like her might a. we'll never have

Outside, Dolly watched the starr
coming out one by one; could not let
herself do anything else for awhile as
abe pressed both hands over her heart.
TO think or to pray made 1t sometimes
leap, flutter, and then seem to stop
beating, so that Jacob and Jane and
the little baby all faded from her like
phantoms. Dolly had heart disease,
and many . time was aware of the

and any time she knew that he might
stay for her. When she had been alone
q half hour Jacob opened the door to
say she would take cold. 1t was quite
dark, but away to one side the lights
on the water "twinkled like fireflies.
The air was heavy with the perfume Of
DOllysS lilies she herself unseenI but
her voice fell on his ears plainly:

peace be $50 help me not TO think ell

"a father-a fatheri" Jacob rolled
and tossed all night In troubled
thought. Only oncs he slept and then
dreamed he saw the little red shoe In
the mud of the street, all torn aud
trampled by holsest hoofs. Now
things faucied 1t midnight are 20 vivid
that all at once Jacob realized how
hard and cruel he had grown-how
bitterness and revenge had taken up
all his soul. But toward morning God
did not let Jacob think how he loved
him and after that he fell into . deep
