CHAPTER ".

Y, After being with some difficulty re-
siored to consciousness Mrs. Dunbar
ton had, with the aid of an opiate, fallen
into a profound sleep, from which she
did not awake until midnight.
Moving her head, she saw Veronica
seated beside her, pale from fright.
Olive Dunbarton understood, and a
fresh and poignant grief darted through
her heart. Then, bracing herself, she, in
weak and trembling voice, said:

A burden that seemed unbearable was
suddenly lifted from the girls life the
darkness which had brooded over her

IN THE SHADOW
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 auttering 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 magazine for over
twelve months at last saw the light of
publication. Reviews spoke of its trutl,
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
to grow familiar to the public. With ap-
probation came courage to persevere,
and, putting forth all her strength, she
wrote a novel largely embodying in its
pages her own life. This had been pub
lished by George Bostock. Its success
was immediate, Her name being famous,
independence was won.
Her husband, after years of absence,
returned to claim the benefit of her
