His Mothers Companion.

Mrs. Sherwood and her companion,
Irene George, were sitting in the library
OF the formers beautiful home, Beech
wood. The iyoung girl had been reading
aloud, but, happening to glance up. she
had noticed that Mrs. Sherwood was pay
ing little or no attention to the story,
but seemed occupied by her own
thoughts. Suddenly she started, and,
looking at her now silent companion,
said: Did you know 1 had a son, Irene?"
The girl became deadly pale and for a
moment could not answer, but finally
managed to murmur that she had heard
the servants speak Of Master Jack, and
that she had concluded he was her son.
Yes, l have one son." continued Mrs.
Sherwood, but I fear that by my harsh
treatment of him on one occasion I have
separated himi from he forever. Several
months ago, while visiting one of his
college friends, he met young girl whom
he fell in love with and married without
my consent. When i received the letter
telling me of his marriage 1 was so an
cry that L answered him saying that as
he cared more for her than for me, hence
forth he could content himself with her
as l refused to have anything more to
do with him. How bitterly 1 have re-
pented my cruel words will never be
known to any one but myself Let it SUI
fee to say that 1 would give my life to
recall them

AS Mrs Sherwood finished speaking she
buried her face in her hands. and in that
position failed to notice when Irene pass
ed her and left the room. Fastening up
the stairs, the girl reached her room, and.
entering, locked the door. Then, going to
her writing desk, she wrote a few lines
which she securely sealed and, after care
fully addressing the letter, she went out
and mailed it.
Early the following evening found Irene
at the end of the main walk In the beau
tiful and extensive grounds which sur
rounded the mansion. Before many sec
onds passed, a rapid step was heard and
the next minute she was face to face
with a young man whose beaming eyes
and glad manner bespoke the JOY he felt
at seeing her. After the first greetings,
Irene said, softly: Jack, go to your
mother now. she is all alone, and surely
you can have no better time. I will wait
for you here
II will not be long, Irene" was his
answer "and when 1 return my mother
will be with me-
Saying that, he hurried towards the
hpuse, leaving the young girl in an ex-
ceedingly anxious state of mind. Near
ly half an hour passed ere Jack return
ed, accompanied by his mother, who look
ed ten years younger in the joy of having
her son with her.
The Wichita daily eagle. [volume] (Wichita, Kan.) 1890-1906, 1899-10-27

A few moments later, when they were
all seated beneath a large oak overlook
ing the lake, Irene told in a few simple
words how Jack had met and won her.
and how, after his receiving the cruel let
ter, she had resolved to be the peace
maker. Shortly after this she read of
Mrs. Sherwood's desire for a com anion,
and showing it to her husband told him
that she was resolved to try for the posi-
ton. The result was known. Her efforts
were entirely successful and now, with
Jack and his mother reunited, she felt
as though she could wish for no more
happiness. Later on that evening. when
they were all seated in the library. Mrs.
Sherwood suddenly rose, and, crossing
the room to where Jack and Irene were
sitting, she said: Jack, with by whole
heart I beg your forgiveness for writing
you as I did firmly believe that If you
have searched the world over you could
never have found a wife to suit both you
and myself so wei as does your mothers
ompanion.'-Boston Post.

AS they neared the spot where Irene
was landing, Mrs. Sherwood saw her. and
a look of surprise came over her face.
Turning to her son she exclaimed: "Why,
Jack, I thought thought your-your
wife, She got no further, for her
son stopped her with a smile and said:
Mother, dear, I told you my wife was
waiting for US here. She is. Irene is
my wife,
'Irene" exclaimed his mother. "Why
how can that be possible?' But by the
time they had reached Irene. who start
ed forward, and, going quickly to Mrs.
Sherwood, said softly: ''Can you ever
forgive me for so deceiving you-moth-
er?' this last word with such a smile a
would melt a heart of stone. Mrs. Sher-
woods answer was to clasp her in her
arms.
