ing in a few minutes. "She says she
will see YOU" and Mrs. Fry conducted
him to the sitting room, which had
been given up to Mrs. Hamilton's
occupancy. The night was chilly,
and a light cleaned from the open
crate of the little stove upon the lap
and white hands of Constant rs she
sat before it. But her face was in
the shadow, out of the range of the
lamp, feebly burning. She did not
look up when he entered, and he
strobe to her side and gazed down at
her before speaking. Then he said,
almost with fierceness:
Look at me, Constance"
She raised her eyes and let them
rink again. Then, as if wishing not
20 anger him, she said, will you
be seated? l think you wished to see
me on business"

The business of my utter happiness
Or misery. l asked to look at me to
see whether you could doubt me. Am

"Yes," she uttered family.

darkhaired wretch is my husband,

rising to her feet and confronting
him with blazing eyes and cheeks.

She turned away and there was
silence between them. When she
next looked up she met a face so
changed that it startled her. there
was such a lost, despairing look in
it, and his voice was hollow when he
spoke.

said, with terrible significance.

time. She approached him and laid
her soft hand on his arm

Gone, everything, If you will now set
matters right. You have done wrong,
but we will forget all that and love
YOU, Vane and l."
For the moment she ceased to
think him forger, perjurer. She
forgot everything in her pity.
How could you do it, Victor?" was
her next womanly cry.
She saw him shrink and cover at
her words. and she said, soothingly.
Tell me, tell Sister Constance, about
it, Victor"
There was almost divine pity In
her voice. Her wrath was all gone
when she saw him detected and peni-
tent before her He had not confess
ed. There was no need. She knew
he had dropped all disguise before
her and would never seek to deceive
her again.

again, "how it all happened?'

Constance drew back. She had for
gotten about Lenora in the excite
ment of the interview. Now the dread
full charge came back with terrifying
force, and she could not prevent the
.epellant movement.

,t?"
Il think / do"
He took her hands, looked into her
face, and was gone. Constance sank
down into her chair and began to
cry silently. But there was JOY In her
tears, joy for herself and Vane, but
sorrow for the one who had left her;
who had gone out with the world
again because he must. What would
be the end of it all?
She arose, and with compressed
lips hid the closely written sheets in
her drawer, and she did not read
them for two weeks instead of one.
Meanwhile, Mr.. Carter was alone in
the great home, with lilly only for
company. The man known as Pri-
mus Edes was in prison, but with
comfortable surroundings and cheer

with Mrs. Fry.
No one wondered at the absence Of
Mr.. Hamilton, not even the minister,

that he would never return--no one

What could she do? She was a
weak, loving woman, whose sympa-

law: Neither do l condemn thee.

Helen was in the habit of saying her
evening prayers at her grandmother's
knee, but as she heartily disliked go
ing to ned, the sumomns to prayer
was not very welcome one.
At first she contented herself with
invoking the Creators blessing upon
the immediate family, but with her
growth in wisdom she conceived the
idea of postponing her bedtime by
lengthening her prayers.
The lengthening process began
with the aunts, unc,es and cousins,
then the intimate friends of the family
were honored, and finally she extended
her petitions to Include the neighbors.

Seven Drowned in Collision With Rove.

IN one OF the most unusual accidents
ever recorded in the history of Delaware
river navigation, seven men lost their lives
last night when their naphtha launch was
capsized by barge off Beverly. N. J.
The barge was being lowed up the river
by the tug Bristol. commanded by Captain
Mott A long hawser stretched from the
tug to the barge probably a distance of
sixty feet, and unaware of the tugs tow,
the launch endeavored to cut In directly
back of the tugs stern. The heavy haWser
swept Capt John Winch off the deck of
his launch and thus saved his life. for an
instant later the frail craft was rolled
completely over by the prov of the barge
The occupants of the cabin of the launch
were caught like rats in a trap and only
two of them escaped, John Rutherford and
William F. Russell of Philadelphia. Thus
far only two of the seven men drowned are
known. They are William Winch. son of
Captain Winch, twenty-seven years old.
and John Ellis of Philadelphia.
