CHAPTER "

Poor Marjorie, as she was driven along.
felt that it would be unpleasant to explain
at home that she had tainted in church
and been sent home in a cab by Mr. Stanis-
land. They would ask how she came to be
alone there with him. And as she passed
Mrs. Wayne>s garden gate she decided to
stop there and spend few moments. She
dismissed the cab and went slowly up the
gravel path and touched the bell There
was no answer, but in moment more she
found that the door was unfastened, and
opening it went in. A low sobbing sound
fell upon her ear, and following it she
came upon Mrs. Wayne sitting at the foot
of what she called the kitchen stairs-stairs
that led from the back part of the house to
the old fashioned garrett She was not
weeping, but gasping.
'Oh, thank heaven, somebody has come -
she cried. 'I'd have died alone here Mar
