She caught his hand with her frail
little one and turned her face away
without speaking. He sat by her un-
til she slept, and he felt, as Oliver had
done, that she was woman child, not
woman, and doubly dear by that
clinging heiplessness.
\ week had Mrs. Minny been sick at
the switchman's house when DIR. John
telegraphed TO Oliver to send a lawyer
to the station. He also added: If

the doctor. "She is a married woman

Minny de Restaud, and her people are

haven't the faintest idea; she disap-
peared last fall, and her aunt has

In the morning when the doctor
went TO see his patient he found her
conscious, looking with ineffable dis
dain on the red-faced bundle beside
her.

said, family You were ever SO good;
