Neither does he trouble himself with the

are fond of desserts. and the daily item of
700 large pies convinces me that a fair

On another part of this floor is the dish

Lucy, I know you love him almost

the right by him and that other woman.
But you're only going to ruin all three of
you. If you go back to John, nobody will
know there was ever difference II you
don't, you'll bring everlasting shame on
him and on that woman. If John should
marry her, as you want him to. 1t wouldn't
help any. II would only drive them both
into disgrace before the world and into mis-
cry at home. For John doesn't love her; he
never did. 1t was only mans insanity for

will always bear the reproach you're a

Almost to the top Of the great big mountain

he stops and sees that, instead of bein'
able to take that step, there's a hand on
his arm that is draggin' him back, and
that hand has the power to throw him
down the terrible cliff. And the whole
world, that was watchin' to see how he had
climbed from the very foot of the noun
tain, will see him lying there again all COW

for it Will kill him, Lucy. And as he waits

the little hand that he's ben holdin' in his
all these years, the hand he's kissed so

they love their father so much You can't
break UP their home. And he loves them
so dear. He's almost dead he's so lonely for
his chicks. And he loves you Lucy. He's
never loved anybody else since he was a
little ragged boy. And you was so good to
him always. You can't murder him and all
