Lefty read it, and shrieked, "Oh, l

dreadful instant perhaps we women
all had the same thought; but it was
too outrageous possibility for q sis

she said, something we know nothing
OF. The trouble isnow we don't know
how to reach him :.
"Reach him!" eLetty burst out.

"For shame, Letty!" cried Pam.

Lefty went on, utterly beside herself,
splanning it all out, and never sus-

rob me OF my child, tool But what
more she said can't tell, for it was
too dreadful. The family skeleton
was paraded before them all, and our
efforts to hush her only made it worse.
Pam had grown white at her first
words, but now she just turned to the
gentlemen and said, us quietly as pos

her head over the child.' ..,....
"Of course Frank Truman said,
but he certainly looked a little dis
gusted. "But what wehave to donow
is to prove her wrong by finding Mr..
Graham. If you will give me your
horses, Mr.. Talbot"-cool as you
please to the nabob-'l can catch the
1:5O train for Northington; and if he's
there, as Of course he is, J. can find and
bring him back in three hours. And
meantime, Mr.. Talbot can direct the
search here for the child. We have
them both to hunt up now, and my
half is the easier" "a
GLOW good you are!' Pam said,
putting out her hand. "And"-she
flushed and hesitated-'you will not
tell him-except about the baby. II
am SO ashamed and so sorry for poor
Lefty, / may trust you, am sure,
as-as one OF ourselves" And she
didn't think, till Frank had bowed over
her hand and said, fervently, "a thou
sand thanks, dear Miss Graham" and
then with one lance at Annie rushed
otf--she didn't think till she saw that
gleam Of his eye and Annie's answer
