Veronica kissed her again and again
before quitting the room, as if in this
way she would convey the faith and af-
lection which words failed her to ex-
press, To refrain from thinking was
an utter impossibility to that stricken
woman, though thought was absolute
pain. AS she lay there in the silence
and gloom, heartsick and despairing, the
story of her life rose in black outlines
against the lurid tragedy which had
crowned and intensified all her sorrows.
An only child, worshipped by her
mother-her sole surviving parent-and
caressed by her friends, she had entered
society when she should have been in
the schoolroom.
Followed and admired, praised and
"ourted as she was, society was to her
" lnrd of enchantment and before her
acnnd season ended she had wholly

arcers but five years older than her
III handsome, daring and fascinating,
"raceiul dancer, skilled polo player,
'oultlcss in dress, winning in his speech,
pcpuIar among women, hailed as a good
fellow among men.
Before her eighteenth birthday she had
married him against the advice of her
mother, and in spite of the warning of
her friends, endowing him, who was de-
pendant upon his pay and stepped in
debt, with the handsome fortune left her
by her father. Then came three years
of welded life of varying happiness, at
the end of which time the ardor on her
part remained unabated, while on his it
had vanished quite
His growing indifference made her,
womanlike, more anxious to retain his
affections, while her eagerness defeated
its own ends by rendering him more
careless still.
Her disillusion, once begun, was
quickly completed. Soon came the
knowledge of his unfaithfulness, his
losses on the race course and at the
gambling table, as we'll as the percep-
ton that his nature was gradually
coarsening by drink and dissipation.
The day was not long postponed when
she learned that her whole fortune
had been squandered by him in ways
that were wrongs to her. And, when no
longer able to preserve patience, she up
raided him; he brutally struck her BY
this time he had quilted the army, and,
disappearing, he left her and her child
depending on friends, her mother being
now dead.

changed forttines-returiled a worn-ot1t
wreck, a hardened adventurer, a con-
hrmed roue. For her own sake, and for
the sake Of her child, she protected her
self against him, and succeeded in buy
ing, for considerable sum, his consent
to legal separation, which she could
otherwise have obtained had she brought
the incidents of her life into court. And
for five years she heard of him no more
until at the period the story opens she
received a demand for money, to which
she paid no heed, nor had she seen him
meanwhile until that terrible night-his
last on earth. When breakfast was
brought she drank some coffee, but could
not eat, nor did she talk-her mind was
now so busy with plans, surmises, pos
sibilities, fears.
AT last Veronica said:
There is some one waiting to see
YOU" =.
"Who?" Olive Dumbarton said, fear
fully.
"Mr. Bostock."
A sense of intense relief came to the
miserable woman at the sound of that
name, and she suddenly realized that she
was not quite alone in life.
How kind of him! Has he been long
waiting?"

you before. I don't think you are strong
enough to see him, dearest"
Il must, Veronica he will advise me-"
Then let him come to your dressing
room," the girl suggested.
Very well. dear"
A moment later the door opened and
George Bostock entered. He went
quickly forward to where Mrs. Dunn
barton sat and took her hand.
my dear friend, this is terrible-this
is terrible!" he said, in grave, troubled
voice

her eyes to his again.

idly, his voice full of pain.
You did not-you did not think me
guilty."

fervidly.
Thank Godw she murmured There
were two at least in the world who be-
lieved her incapable of this crime, the
two whose faith and trust in her she
valued most.

are quite hot. Meanwhile prepare equal
quantities of olive oil and chutney sauce

each layer of fruit with powdered sugar,

OF SHAME

Then began her struggle for life, bit
ter and long maintained She had al
ways possessed certain talent for writ
ing, facility Of expression, picturesque
OF description, power of imagination, and
she resolved to embrace literature as a
calling.
Many mile she walked, from office
to Office, which, with fluttering heart
and overstrung nerves, she entered to
offer manuscripts over which she had
spent much time, always hoping she
might find acceptance. Money was ter
ribly needed by her. The result was
ever the same. Each magazine or jour
nal had its own, staff of contributors /;
hundreds of stories were waiting for
consideration. The supply was greater
than could be exhausted for years. And
such manuscripts as she was permitted
to leave or which she sent by post, were
not lost, or mislaid-invariably returned
to her, until her spirit was, well-nigh
broken.
A turn came in the tide of her affairs
when they seemed most desperate. A
tale retained by a magazine for over
twelve months at last saw the light of
publication. Reviews spoke of its truth
TO nature, pathos and originality of plot
A second story was accepted by the
same magazine and an editor who had
returned her stories and essays unread
requested her to send him some articles.
Those he had previously rejected were
posted to him and paid for within a
week
Slowly and gradually her name began

came courage to persevere,
and, putting forth all her strength, she
wrote a novel largely etnbodying in its

was immediate. Her name being famous, |
was won.

After being with some difficulty re-

ton had, with the aid of an opiate, fallen
INTO profound sleep, from which she
did not awake until midnight.
Moving her head, she saw Veronica
seated beside her, pale from fright.
olive Dumbarton understood, and a
fresh and poignant grief darted through
her heart. Then, bracing herself, she in
a weak and trembling voice, said:
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS! l am inno-
cent?
a burden that seemed tnbearable was
suddenly lifted from the girls life, the
darkness which had brooded over her
soul was dispeiled, her whole being re-
laXed from torture and fear, now vi
brated with gratitude and delight

murmured.

her arms in transport of JOY and graft

around her mothers neck, while she
kissed her pityingly, tenderly, lovingly.
You believe me, Veronica?"
Mother" the girl said, infinite trust
and tenderest love expressed in that one
word.
