For he knew nothing of how his land
was served. Rob was eyes to him, and
when in the beginning she saw how il
panied him to hear of rack and ruin she
made up her mind to paint all things in
the rosiest colors. Yearly she had told
him tales Of growth and blowth, pa
thetic in their untruth and sublime in
the motive that underlay them. No
matter how bare she went, he lacked
nothing, not even gold to jingle in his
pocket, and she agreed dutifully when
he said: "You must not dress extrava-
gantly. dear child. That is always bad
taste in so young q woman. But some
thing is due your position as mistress
here. IL is my wish that you be well
clothed, though. So be sure you have
always plenty Of good silk gowns, with
lighter frooks for home wear and neigh
borhood visits.
Pretty soon she had silk; it was her
mothers wedding gown refurbished
Then it was the easiest thing in the
world to make it of new shapes and COL
ors. 1t was the same with all else. The
girl was SO gallant, so loyal in her love,
the sternest moralist might have con-
doned her sins against fact. Mrs. Win
fold did not condone them. A fine soul
may gauge with sympathetic accuracy
one of lower fiber. A coarse one invari-
ably puts into all things the faint of It,

The good woman spent her opinion
once too often. 1t happened to be where
Jack Talbot heard her. He flung up his
head and said pointedly:.
II don't think Rob sets up for a pat

her neighbors' affairs. AS to her truth
fitness, I'd take her word for gospel.
I've almost brought her up and never
knew her to vary an inch from it, ex-
cept to her poor old father. Truth would
be only torture to him. I'd feel like
shooting the man that told it. Rob sim
ply could not lie maliciously or falsely,
but am sure she could and would keep
silence if she knew anything that would
wound another person in feeling or in
reputation.
Rob felt the attitude of her public,
but never spoke of it, not even to Jack.
She knew how slight was her fathers
hold on life. 1t might snap any day. At
the best the end was not far. And to
his last hour she would ease and spare
him all she might. he was her world
and love of him her religion. In the
strength and light of love she could
stand blameless before a multitude Of
accusers.
