though Mr.. Lester did not. Well, he
put it there, wherever it was, and it
brings in an income that would make
your head dizzy. He is willing to put
up the money to save US, and all be-
cause he wants to marry you. AS soon
as he sees you and gets your consent
your father will have enough to put
him where he was in business. Your
father told him that he need have no
doubt of your consent. You never have
been disobedient and you certainly
would not begin now when so much
depends upon you. How could live
in seventh story fiat on some I'M
known street and co my hair myself?
Are not you glad that you can save me
from it?"
Myrta leaned out and dropped some.
thing into the water. She fingered a
moment gazing after it as If she might
be wishing that she could follow it.
1t cleaned in sparkling shades of red
as it fell. She wondered II it would
hide away in the wreck of lost ship
| down at the bottom of the sea, and il
diver would bring it up into the sun
again some day and if it would sparkle
on the finger of girl happier than the
one who drowned it in the waves.
Yes" she said, family.
Her mother drew her into her arms
and embraced her with languid affec
tion more like the real article than she
had ever before bestowed upon her.
What a mistake l have made all
these years! l have regretted that
had not son instead of a daughter.

there is in a girl. What boy could save
his family in such crisis by the sim.

lovely flowers, and murmuring few
words in shy, pretty way, and then
going off to do the grand tour of the
world? You ought to see the exqui.
site prayer book Mr.. Lester has bought
for you to carry-all pearl and silver
and the inscription in diamonds. Isn't
it glorious to be a girl?"
Suppose so? You will know so
when you see that prayer book and
costume. We ordered the gown in
Paris and Felix said it was the most
elegant thing he had ever created. We
could afford to do the handsome now
that We are in such luck. Your hus.
band can never say that you came to
him beggar If we have been on the
verge of ruin"
1t all came back to Mrs Lester as
the carriage rolled along-the low, sad
music of the last farewell and the face
that looked out from the white moon.
light of that night in Paris. She had
never again seen that face until
Here we are. Are you asleep? No
wonder, after that stupid play
enough to set the whole town asleep!"
She alighted from the carriage and
followed the burly figure of her hus-
band up the steps In the doorway she
turned and looked out into the pale,
star-swept east.
By and by the dawn would glimmer
over that horizon and a new day would
begin--a long, dull, wearisome day, so
like all the other days that it would
not be known from any yesterday that
ever was.
