from the white. hot depths. Tho face was
that of beautiful girl, almost child at
the period whore sirlhood touches the bridge
across which lies young wonanhood. 1t was
charming visage. made fascinating By
golden hair and gray eyes, which meant a
world of different things to whoever looked
into them. The woman'S reverie was in
terrupted by her doudoir door being thrown
suddenly open A vision Of grace, youth and
beauty tripped in, a young girl, who, es she
stood metionless for ono instant in tho center
of tia apartment, was the most exact
counterpart of the face in the Goals, with
one exception, the eyes. They were gray
like those others but instead Of meaning
world Of different things to Zach new man
who studied them, they spoke only one trai5
-truthfulness TO everybody.
The gicl glanced for 2. moment at the figure
in the chaif. Then going noiselessly to the
woman's side she threw her arms about her,
kneeling on tho floor as sho did SO, and say
ing:
"Mother mine what is the matteri'
.:Why should | tell you child! You are
very happy, and l have not tie heart to
intrude fear which might render you
wretched."
"A fear, mother! What arc you thinking
of"
Your marriage"
"How strange II what way can thoughts
Of that rendoc you or me unhappy"
