Silas Hastings was ushered into
the long, low sitting-roOm, 1t was
luxuriOusly and comfortably fur
nished. He had not long to look
about or to wait. Matilda came
20 him as soon as they told her he
was there.
Dear old daddy" she cried,
tiinging her arms about his neck,
chow good it is to see you againW
When she had seated herself on
a little hassOck at his feet, with
her curly head resting against his
knee, just as it used to, Silas
spoke. "Are you happy, little
gal?' he asked her, cycling her
searchingly with hts keen old
gaze.
Matilda's heart started pain
fully, and she bent her head to
hide the ready tears that sprang
to her eyes. ooh, yes" she an

"Tilda," he said, after a pause,
"this is a mighty bad business

The girl looked up swiftly, pal
ing. "You-you've heard it, then,
daddy? l thought"
"Oh yes; heard it all right, A." he
returned, slowly. 81 couldn't help
hearin' it,"
Matilda did not speak for some
time. The tears, now fully devel-
oped, ran unrestrainedly down
her cheeks. "PoOr Charley" she
said, after awhile. "I'm so sorry.
Oh, you don't know how sorry

"You say he has always bin good

Matilda raised her head and
looked into the old mans eyes.
every, very good to me, daddy"
she said, earnestly, "you will new
er know how good"
Silas Hastings looked sorrow
fully down at the head that had
fallen back against his knee.
There were tears in his eyes, too,
and through them trembled some
thing which he dared not say.
w.
When herm0ther-in-law entered
the room Matilda slipped quietly
away to battle her tear-stained
face. Not one of her husbands
family-least of all his mother
must detect signs of emotion
about her.
Mrs. Trevor took chair op-
posite the one occupied by NATL
da's father, and folded her shak-
ing hands across her lap. "Well,
what are you going to do about
it?" she asked, duly. The burn
ing black eyes, set deep into her
head, glowed with unconcealed an
guish.
Silas looked at her a long time
without opening his lips. "DOyOu
love my little gal?" he questioned
abruptly, bending toward her.
The woman stared at him with
a sudden odd expression. "Why,
certainly l love her, Mr.. Hastings.
Isn't she my daughter-my sons
wife? l hOpe-I hope" She
broke off and a food of crimson
surged up to her temples.
After a seconds constraint the
old man slowly drew out his check
book and opening at a certain
page proceeded to fill out stub
for $4,000, payable to bearer"
The blank check opposite he tore
to bits and threw them in the fire
place.
IF you'll let me see the boy a
mint" ne SAID, quietly, "Ill talk
to him a bit, an then go on to the
bank an make it all right there"
He held out the bank book, dis
playing the freshly filled stub. 1t
was dated eight days back. "For
value received" he said.
"FOF-what?"
"Value received" He rose and
reached for his hat. A strange
smile lit and transformed his
wrinkled old face into momentary
beauty. Tell 'Tilda I'll be back
by and by" he added. "Can l see
the boy now" he moved toward
the door expectantly.
But Mrs. Trevor had not heard
his last words. The proud woman
was on her knees and her culver
ing hands were clasped in word
less gratitude to the man who
stood, stopped and battered and
plying, looking down at her.

tunes of her husband, who was
there to blame her?
There was a delicate rustic Of

quiringly as her mother-in-law
came into the room.

provingly. why in the world do
you sit dawdling the morning
away in this fashion when there
is so much to be attended to? All
those cards are to be answered
and they should be in the II

The girl flushed painfully and
laid down her spoon. 81 have not
felt well lately" she said, in low
tone.
"Umphw retorted the older
woman, 81 dare say that such
things as headaches of which
you frequently complain, and not
feeling WELL were unknown to
you before your marriage. In the
busy routine of farm life there
isn't usually much time for things
of that sort"
Matilda rose without replying
and pushed her chair back against
the wall.
Mrs. Trevor, ST., after a mo-
ment's hesitating silence, hustled
Importantly from the room, leav-
ing her sons wife to her own re-
Elections.
Matilda crossed listlessly to one
Of the windows, and stood there
for some time, staring thought
fully out into the rose bloomed
garden beyond.
Presently, a familiar form ap
peared in the open, and a few min
utes later, Charley Trevor came

between the rows of clustering

a smile broke through the cloud in
his eyes.
