Then he rose, stepped around into
the seat in front and said MAY ! sit
Eere2' She seemed a little fright
enci hut said nothing. He sat down
and turned in the scat so that he
could see her clearly. Then he
continued:
II don I understand why you should
have done this. You had good
home aud your husband was kind to
you. You were not oyerwOrkcd
You had all the necessities and many
OF the Injuries OF life And yon
loved your home till this man he
pointed towards the smoking car
met you. y He is man OF the world
and you were fascinated by his easy
ways. Every one in the village liked
him because he was pleasant and ac-
cOmmodating. You met him and he
seemed to like you Then he told
you he did, and his actions seemed
to prove It, But do YOU suppose he
loves you as your husband does?
Why, hasn't he just gone of to smoke
his cigar? He cares more for that
than for you. Is that like your hus-
band? Perhaps your husband doesn't
talk much about his love, but isn't
he kind to you? This man talks
a great deal about how much he loves
you, and then the first chance he
gets he leaves you alone and goes to
the SIN okiug car. You ought not TO
have been disconnected lie may APP
pcar better than your husband.
James Ordway but his heart is not
as good. He does not care FOR YOU
and he is deeeiving you. know you
are half sorry you left your home. |
know you wish you We're back again.
Don't you remember how the place
looks on u morning like this? The
sun is shining down on the piazza,
and the morning-g lories are all open
now. Perhaps your husband is lust
coming home on the milk cart He'll
miss you this morning | am sure.
Her frightened look had gradually
turned into look of wonder as he
had progressed. Now she was star
ing at him; her eyes were opened
wide, and her surprise at his knowl-
edge of her elopemcnt SO completely
covered her face that he could not
tell from it the extent to which she
had been influenced by his words.
But he saw that his cJnjectures
about the morning glorics and the
sun on the piazza had been correct.
lie had thought it must be so, for he
knew that most farm houses had q
south piazza and that most holese-
wives planted morning glorics. As
for the other things he had said, he
got them from the newspaper. He
was determined that she should yield.
for he was sure Of her sorrow for
what she had done, and he wished
the family to- be reunited. So he
'.And the children have no mother
this morning; they cried for her last
night and did not know why she
didn't come back. | wonder who T,
will care for them now"
She had yielded. She was crying
softly. The mother had loved her
children and nothing could make her
long forget them, Tho thought of
them would alone have ma le her wish .
to return. II she had been Il little .
sad before. she was entirely so now. !
Anthony saw this, and he knew he.
would succeed His plan was formed
ut once. In five minutes they would
stop at another station where they
met the up train. The train would .
make connections at Ashland for .
Brookvillc. II he could get Mrs.
Ordway on that train she would reach ,
home early in the afternoon. He was
determined TO do his utmost. lie
