Little Marjorie's Mission.

almost holy love light in her eyes, as If
the dark clouds We're almost dispelled
by the strong rays of golden sunlight.
And it was SO. Hers was the not un-
familiar story Of old-a life begun un-
der the most promising conditions. do
mestic happiness and welded unity.
Harold Worthington, the trusted and
trustworthy cashier IN a large banking
Institution, had welcomed his bride to
an elegantly appointed home. For three
years theirs was a life Of ideal happi-
Hess, and when little Marjorie came to
bless their union they felt as IL their
happiness had indeed been crowned
Then came the time when that demon
jealousy had entered the breast of Har-
old Worthington, unfounded it is true,
and sowed by the poisonous tongue OF
IN envious club But the little
seed so cunningly planted grew until
its thorns ranked and cut deep; and
as time wore IN q GOODNESS sprang up
between the once united hearts. Each
was too proud to make humble conces-
sion, and Harold remained oftener and
longer at his club, until finally, after
an open dissension, he remained away
altogether.
Hourly each had longed for the old
happy days of sweet, sweet home, but
pride-that barrier to SO many happy
tiresides-pride forbade.
On this particular evening May had
put little Marjorie to bed, and then she

threw her arms upon the table, and,
burying her white face in them, cried
out:
"Oh, Harold, Harold, If it had not
been for your unreasonable jealousy,
we might have been SO happy"
So absorbed was she that she did not
hear the ring ut the door bell, nor the
footsteps in the hall.
The man wins had just entered start
ed back as he saw the bowed form,
then advancing he said gently:
May"
She started to her feet, and for an
instant the old glad look of welcome
sprang into her eyes; then, suddenly re-
%membering, she drew herself up proud
iy and coldly said:
Harold! You here? I don't under
stand. 1t has been SO long"
YES" he replied in an equally cold
tone. II am going away for q year,

parted curtains, stood a little, white.

ty. Then she sprang forward with a
glad cry Of Papa! Papa! I knew 1t

Straight into his arms she sprang.
and was clasped close to the fathers
heart.
The almost h~eartbroken mother could
bear no more and quietly withdrew,
leaving them together.
"Papa?"
"Yes, darling"
