such a motherly and elderly aspect that
she had never realized the possibility of
her having ever been in love- any more
than she had given consideration 10 the
love-making of her own mother. Now she
was surprised to find that she. too. had
been young. had loved. and had pleasures
and heart-pains of her own. This set her
thinking. The process of thought was si
preston; the girl understood now. The
secret of her life-the true secret was un-

MY Dear Friend:
Il have been and am. much concerned
about YOU l gather from his letters that
Col. Ogilvie has been much disa~ pointed
at not having heard from you. And
want. if you will allow me to take the
liberty. to speak to you seriously about it.
You will give me this privilege, | know
il only for the fact that l am an old maid;
for the same powers that made me an old
maid have made me old woman. and
such is entitled, l take 1t, to forebear-
ance. if not to respect. You should-you
really should be more considerate toward
Col. Ogilvie. He is an old man-much
older than you perhaps think. for he bears
himself as proudly as in his younger days.
But the claim on you Is not merely for
his years; that claim must'appeal to all.
From you there is one more imperative
still. one which is personal and para
mount; he is under SO very deep an obli-
cation to you. A matter which from an
other would pass unconsdered as an act
of thoughtlessness must now, when 1t is
due to you, seem to him like studied af-
front. put III tf1lS way because L KNOW
you are a man of noble nature. and that
generosity is to such even a stronger urge
than duty--if such a thing be possible. In
certain matters he is sensitive beyond be-
lief. Even to a degree marked in a place
wheee men still hold that their lives rest
behind every word and deed, every
thought or neglect toward another.
have some hesitation in mentioning this
lest you should think / am summoning
Fear to the side of Duty. But you are
above such a misunderstanding. l am
sure. Oh, my dear friend, do think of
some of the rest of us. You have saved
the life of our darling Joy-the one crea-
ture in whom all our loves are centered
Naturally we all want to see you again
to make much of you-to show you in our
own poor way how deeply we hold you in
our hearts.
