"Pappy, l have done more-I have
hurt him worse than you did broke
his heart!" whispered the girl. "Oh,
1 should have thought-there was no
one like him-but let him go. II he
were here now"
They sat silent then until the old
man said:
"Ah well! Come, Sally, it's bedtime"
yes"
This meant that 1t was time for
their prayer, which they always said
in each others arms, there, before the
great fire. So Sally slipped to the
floor, and they folded their hands each
in the other. And, after Our Father"
was done, came this-rude, simple, but
not less prayer; for in the five years
of Seffy's absence it had passed into
a formula.
God, find Seffy, WHEREVER he may
be, for thou seest all the world, and
put 1t into his heart to come back to
those who have repented these many
years; make him merciful to the old
and the evil-tempered, and yet, If this
be not in thy infinite purposes, o God,
we bend our heads in submission, for
1t is thy punishment for our sin; but
send some word or sign, that our
hearts may be comforted. and thy will
be done-Amen!
And while this was being prayed a
face came to the window in answer
a hand brushed away the snow that
the eyes might see better. And then
a head, crowned with pale hair, was
uncovered-reverently.
Sally looked up. Something as IT.
resistible as magnet drew her eyes
to that face in the window.
AS they got up the old man saw
Sally's white face and staring eyes.
Sally" he said, you look like you'd
seen ghost!"
There was knock on the outer
door.
Bring him in, wheeler he is, Sally,
and keep him tell he's got hungry no
more-nor cold-nor sorry"
Sally did not speak, but went, still
with that strange look in her eyes, as

was all about discriminating her

Where is he?" asked Seffys father.
"Out there"
He turned at the strange throbbing
of her voice. And then he saw her
face, lighted with great radiance.

the freight she was as beautiful as a
figure of Greuze. That vagrant thing,
