= 7 was not until the tender began to
bob about in a lively fashion that
McCusker would admit 70 himself
the truth Of the suspicion which.
Tor the past half-hour, had been mo-
unentariIy growing upon him Yet he
dared not stop rowing lest the girl
should suspect the truth. He shut his
teeth hard as nc bent over the oars.
The gray. dreary mist, which had
shut down like a pail, seemed growing
more dense, and by this he knew that
darkness was coming on. Somehow in
the fog he had missed the yachts at
the noorings, and now the motion OF
the tender as she slid over the long in
coming s,vells told him they were well
out in the bay.
II WAS q serious predicament The
FOO gave 40 sign OF lifting. and with
darkness coming on the chances OF
spending a night in the open boat were
somewhat more than McCusker cared
to contemplate He glanced at the girl
a. She sat in the stern sheets, tiller
rope in either hand. 1t was evident
frorn the calmness Of her poise that she
had no linking as TO the truth Of the
r,attcr. McCusker rested on his oars
and spoke in the most matter OF TACT
tones.
o sorry. Miss Cary. but we've over
shot The mark and pulled past the
Yachts in the fog. Hard-aport,
please. Wen make them in a trice."
The girl smiled as she brought the
boat about
NcCusker looked al her with undis-
rtised admiration.
Yes" be said. we're really lost.
And. by George, il makes il a lot easier
10 have some one along you can tell
the truth to without sending her into
Mysteries"
The girl laughed.
'.The worst-tell IL alli' she de-
usanded.
We'll" said he. we're out in the bay
somewhere. that's evident, and heaven
only knows whore we can find the
yachts. We may drift round all night
but not if ] can help it," he ended
with determination
He shipped the oars and stood up.
First, wen see II we can raise any
body" he announced.
nc put his hands to his mouth and
shouted again and again at the top
OF his voice. bat no answering signal
came through the mist.

her on the sand and on the porch with
her nurse 1t did not take Anna very
long TO learn that the child was moth
erless, in the care of a young and heed
less aunt and an ignorant nurse girl.
The former was absorbed in the social
affairs at the inn. and the latter in the
gatherings in the servants hall Little
Grace had been left quite alone IN her
room. and a strong draught had blown
out the lamp. so that between the
darkness and an ugly dream she had
wakened up in terror.
That was the beginning Of new holt
day for Anna Whelan. The nurse and
young aunt had little to do from that
time on save to provide for Grace's
physical wants. Anna was her con-
slant companion. She seemed deter
mined to give this shy ten-year-oId girl
all the companionship, the sympathy.
the simple. unaffected pleasures which
had been denied her own childhood.
She did not dream that in the moments
when they were not together, Grace. In
her stiff. uniformed writing, was send
ing a daily chronicle OF their compan-
ionship to her father. Nor could she
know Of the resentment which filed his
soul against the well-paid and needless
caretakers Of his child, and the curios-
ity regarding the girl with the gray
hair and pink cheeks who was mother
ing his BARN. For Grace assured him
in every way that Miss Whelan was
quite as young as Aunt Hattie"
When he finally came down TO spend
a Sunday with his daughter his first
step was to meet Anna. He smiled as
his daughter gravely introduced her as
my friend. Miss Whelan." They were
such an absurdly different couple, and
yet so very much alike in interests and
pleasures. He found his gaze travelling
constantly over the brown head Of his
daughter to the gray head Of his new
found friend, and he began to under
stand the letters better.
On Monday morning he did not go
back to town, but told his sister Hattie
that he had only just commenced to
realize how the Office had worn him
down He needed a weeks rest.
Three nights later he was sitting IN
a sheltered corner OF the veranda with
Miss Whelan when two members Of the
elderly porch brigade strolled slowly
by, talking IN a high-keyed voice which
came squarely to their secluded corner,
You wouldn't have given her credit
for being so clever. She probably knew
the child's father was worth a million"
NO; understand he is not worth
anything Of the sort He is only a
corporation lawyer and I think she
liked Grace for her own sake"
The two women passed out Of hear
ing. The pink had fed from Annals
face, leaving it tired and white. She
rose unsteadily. but the man took her
firmly by the arm and drew her back
to her chair.
Don't go. please. I know you care
for Grace for her own sake. Do you
think you could care for me for miner
wanted to ask you this the first
night
Instinctively Annals hand reached
up to her hair.
"Oh, I couldn't. I've known you
such a short time-peopls would talk
-and-Tm-really too old to have a
love affair"
She did not speak bitterly, just sim
ply, as If a thought long unspoken
had found utterance. The man took
both Of her hands in his.
My dear girl. love never grows old.
and neither will you"
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1904-08-28

She felt as young and took as keen
an interest in youthful pleasures as
any 1S-year-old girl. Sitting there in
the moonlight she realized that once
robbed OF youth a woman could not
buy the lost treasure back at any
price.
Her childhood had been narrow,
penned in by poverty and an invalid
mother, pettish and exacting. Death
had carried away one burden, that OF
unappreciated nursing. only to lay
upon her shoulders another, that of
part housekeeper, part bread winner,
She had gone into shop as cash girl
and had attended to the household
duties night. and morning. When she
was 16 years old she sat up until
nearly daybreak three nights in sue
cession to set stitches in her sisters
confirmation dress. The sister went
through the high school. so did the
younger brother, and while they stud
led Anna was steadily advancing in
the store. When she became buyer
for her department and took her first
trip abroad it brought back the pink
in her cheeks that fed before her
tenth birthday, but Anna was now
three times ten.
On her return from Europe she
found that the same disease which had
wrecked her childhood and carried
her home. This time it carried away
In quick succession brother and sister.
Anna found herself alone and lone
some. She fed to the bachelor maids
apartments for companionship and
was made welcome by these girls ten
years or more her junior. With them
she had grown young again. She had
almost forgotten the gray hair. 1t
blue serge and white duck to drive the
iron into her heart. They were nice
to her because they knew that the
girls would not forgive them If they
were otherwise. But that was not
youth and the right to be young and
joyous and silly. Anna sat up very
straight. She had become possessed
of sudden desire to giggle. yet many
a time and oft she had reproached the
little cash girls In her own depart
ment for giggling.
Laughter and music hoated across
the lawn. They hurt. She rose alb
ruptly and fed to her room The
headache now was real. She tore of
her pretty gown and flung 1t needless
Iy across the bed and slipped into an
easy flowing kimona. Then she sat
down by the window. thinking bitterly
that fate had cheated her out Of the
greatest thing. the Joy OF being young.
Suddenly as she sat in the quiet the
sound of a sob reached her ear. Some
thing very like a patter Of bare feet
came to her from the hall. She sprang
up and threw open her door. A small
figure, huddled against it. fell in
toward her.
"oh, please, I'm so frightened all
alone. May I come in?"
She recognized her now. 1t was the
serious-faced little girl who had room
two doors beyond. She had often seen

r start 10 the realization that
as gunner girl she was not
in the running.
For some t.=ae after the
young people had trip3el down the
steps and across the lawn to the inn
where the mus.cians were already
tuning uD Tor the Ao?. she sat alone
gazing unblinhngly into the moonHt
grove. Then faint perfume stole
over her shoulder and a 7veu-known
voice sounded behind her.

topic Of conversation has been the

The girls had insisted that Miss
Whelan come with them and she now
realized that they had done everything
20 make her one Of them since their
arrival al the shore. They had always
dragged her into their merry-making
pans. She was with them, yet not OF
them. and she knew wherein lay the
fault It was in her years.
Her cheeks somehow had retained
the delicate pink flush Of girlhood, but
the soft, gray hair, waved above her
forehead. told the bald truth Of her
years. Her pretty frocks were more
dainty, more costly than those worn
bys the girls around her. but Miss
WheIans taste in dress had always
been good and with advancing years
she had adopted the more subdued
colorings and simpler styles. Her
summer wardrobe was that Of a chap
. eron rather than that OF a debutante
Yet at heart she was a summer girl.
