Veronica kissed her again and again
before quitting the room. as If in this
way she would convey the faith and af-
fection which words failed her to cS-
press. To refrain from thinking was
an utter impossibility to that stricken
woman, though thought was absolute
main. As she lay there in the silence
and gloom, heartsick and dcspairing. 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-hcr sole surviving parcnt-and
caressed by her friends, she had entered
society when she should have been in
the schoolroom.
Followed and admired, praised and
courted rs she was, society was to her
n land of enchan,mcnt, and before her
second season ended she had wholly
given her heart to young lieutenant OF
l.anccrs but five years older than her
self. handsome, daring and fascinating,
graceful dancer, a skilled polo player,
faultless in dress, winning in his speech.

fellow among men. =,
Before icr eighteenth birthday she had
married him against the advice OF her
UOtncr, ana III spitS Vi thc waning -
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,
wonanlikc, more anxious to retain his
affections, while her eagerness defeated
its own ends by rendering him more
careless still.
Her di.illusion, once begun, was
quickly completed. Soon came the
knowledge Of his unfaithfulncss, his
losses on the race course and at the
gambling table, as well as the pcrcep-
tion 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 squandercd by him IN ways
that were wrongs to her. And. when no
longer able to preserve patience. she up

CHAPTER ".

After being with some difficulty re-
stored to consciousness Mrs. Dunbar
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
weak and trembling voice, said:
'Veronica-Veronica / am inno-
cent?
A burden that seemed unbearable was
suddenly lifted from the girls life, the
darkness which had brooded over her
soul was dispelled, her whole being re-
laxed from torture and fear, now vi
brated with gratitude and delight.
1T was not I. my child; you under

murmured.

her arms in transport of joy and graft

around her mothers neck, while she
kissed her pityingly, tenderly, lovingly.
"You believe me, Veronica?'

and tcnderest love expressed in that one

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 futtering 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 I;
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
to grow familiar TO the public. With ap-
probation came courage to persevere
and. putting forth all her strength, she
wrote novel largely crnbodying 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.
