the holiday dinners, and she had never
heard Mrs. Fiske. And they were posi-
lively glad to be rid of her. This was
too deep for tears and she set about
burning her letters and getting ready
for a long stay, for she had decided at
once that she would stay as long as
Cousin Mary would keep her
She left home three days before
Thanksgiving. 1t was hour trip
to Porter and she was kept busy rec
ognizing things along the way. BY
the time she reached the little station
she was very pleasantly excited and
Rugged Cousin Alb enthusiastically But
the ride to the farm was long and it
was cold and some of her high spirits
died away by the time they reached
the warm house.
The first day things were all right.
Bettina was kept so busy exploring the
farm that she had no time to be lone
some. The next day things were not
quite so nice. There wasn't anything
to read and the fields and woods did
not look quite so inviting as Bettina
had thought they would. She was glad
to go to bed early and walked the next
day, the day before Thanksgiving, in
a very bad temper. 1t had turned much
colder and her fingers were so stiff
that she could hardly dress, there be-
ing no fire in the room. The day
dragged on, and Bettina in sheer de-
spair helped cook the dainties that
she was to eat the next day. At dusk
the farmer brought the triweekly pa
per from the city and tossed it over to
| Betty, who was eager to read the news
of home. She glanced at the first page
and then something caught her eye
that sent the blood back to her heart
and left her pale and sick. What
should she do. In big headlines was
announced the Accident in the White
hall Brothers wholesale house. Three
| injured fatally and among them one
of the firm. John Whitehall Jr" She
read no further but tossed the paper
to the wondering cousins and dashed
to her room to pack her suit case. The
evening train could be caught if they
hurried and Cousin Alb hitched up the
team quicker than he had in his life,
Neither he nor Bettina will forget that
ride to town. She was nearly wild and
kept saying: It's my fault, all my
fault" But they reached the station
in time to get the train and in due sea-
son the train reached the city. though
Bettina thought the four hours eight.
1t was midnight when they got there.
She took a cab and went straight to
the Whitehall house, only to find it
dark and lifeless. After ringing three

times and getting no response, she di-
rected the cab driver to take her to the
Mercy hospital, rencc'ing that they
would probably have taken him there
and that the family was thcre to say
good-by to him. She hoped she would
be in time to have him speak to her
again. The cab waited for her at the
door of the hospital. while she made
inquiries, finding that there was no pa
ticnt of that name in the building.
The matron looked at her rather Sc
verely and Bettina began to recognize
that 1t was after midnight and that
she was alone-hardly a conventional
situation. Nearly frantic with grief
and suspense, and not knowing what
else to do she went home and her as
tonished father let her in at one o'clock
and asked rather sternly for an ex-
PLANTATION. He looked at her rather
strangely as she explained. and then
he told her to go to bed and he would
take her to the house in the morninr.
if she wanted to relieve her mind by
being forgiven. She plead to go now,
and then told him that she had been
to the house and could rouse no one.
All the comfort she got was that she
probably had got the wrong house. and
she was not sure that this was not
true. SO she went to bed and her
father told her mother that Bettina
had learned her lesson and that he was
going to rub it in a little in the morn
ing.
Bettina spent a genuinely wakeful
night for the first time in her life.
She was up betimes and her pale tear
swollen face almost made her father
relent, but he foresaw greater happi-
ness for her by letting things take
their course. So as soon as breakfast
was over he told her to get her things
on and they started. The servant who
opened the door of the Whitehall man.
sion was too well trained to show any
surprise as he let them in and asked
them to wait little Bettina was so
nervous she could not sit down but
stood watching the door, waiting the
summons to the sick-bed The servant
appeared presently and asked them to
wait little longer. Bettinas father
told her that he was due at the office
and now that she was announced he
would leave her. So she was left
alone. Then after what seemed hours
she heard a step and turned toward the
door. What did this mean? 1t was
John, as hearty and well as ever. hold
ing out both hands to Bettina. Bettina
sank into the nearest chair.
The servant who came to the door
to call them to breakfast, tip-toed away
without being seen. Bettina was in
Johns arms and was trying to talk be-
tween her sobs.
why, dear, it was John Whitehall.
