DEAR MR OLIVER: To think you were so
near and / could not see you! criel when
they told me. am not going to pay your money
back yet until l get M own from Mr. dc
Rcstaud. We have pit 6tf case in tho hands
OF m old lawyer here who was y collcsc-mate
of my dear dead father, and he thinks ought
to get a divorce, and has written TO BIZ dc
Rcstaud SO. We watch tho baby closely, for
fear Henri will try to steal him. I havo never
thanked you for helping INC run away. How
good you were! think of you Often: but Aunt
Hannah will never speak of you, and folks here
think 1t is dreadful to be divorced. Thcy say

TIE TROUBLESOME LADY"
The wound was not healed, Oliver
thought bitterly. Why of all women
must he care for this one and
be SO haunted by her memory?
Every look of hers, her words, hci
gestures, the little yellow gown,
were cs plain to him after q year
as if he had seen her but yesterday.
He had striven hard to forget, to do
mis- duty. Yet was there harm in writ
ing just few lines? The narrow path
was terribly lonely in life-not path
that had been his in tho past; and yet
and yet she was child. That stern
honest old woman believed in him and
trusted to his honor.
While he muscd, the shock-headed
boy knocked and thrust in his frccl-
led face. "Gcnt ter see yer" he said,
hoarscr than usual, for there Ind been
baseball match the day before. and
he had been excused from duty, because
his "nudder was sick"
''Show him in," said Oliver, locking
the letter in his desk. The last man
he expected to SEQ entered the room,
shut the door behind him, took q chair,
then, with almost threatening ges-
turc, moved it close to the desk. Henri
