The scene was too touching for my feel
ings, and l, too, wept true tears of sor-
row and grief. If had harbored any
thought or feeling against my father, l
should have forgiven him then.
Several minutes passed in silence,
after which my father lifted his face to
mine, the tears still rolling down his
cheeks, and, taking my hand again, said,
oh so sadly:

what you have suffered, for you never

"God bless you for what you say, and
for coming to us in this dark hour"

rising tears, then went on:
"My child, you do not know what !

and often l have longed for some one to
love me as your mother did, and as you

she refused to speak to me and turned

sentiment but shame that actuated her,
and l was confirmed in that opinion
when at last she said to me:
"Why do you come here to rejoice

my trouble? Is it not enough that
l should be brought down to this, with
out having you come here to see it?"

Bernard refused to adapt herself to his
altered circumstances, and after a long
suit and much elimination and recrim-
