Carolina Langdon bore herself better
than was to have been expected under
the strain of the painful interview.
She saw more clearly now how she had
erred. She was undergoing an inward
revolution that would make it impos-
sible for her ever again to veer so far
from the line of duty 10 her father, her
family and to herself.

took up her own defense, and eloquent
ly she pleaded the defense of many a
woman who yearns for what she has
not got, for what may be beyond her
reach-the defense of the woman who
ehafes under the limitations Of world
ly position, Of sex and Of opportunity.
1t was the defense of an ambitious
woman.

claimed. "Father, oh. can't you un-

Stinctively that this was her hour; that

"That must be it." he agreed. Then
he leaned forward eagerly. But Pm

Nothing he exclaimed. "Well, it's

81 don't doubt that Mr.. Haines,"
Hope interjected, with light laugh.
Eyes, say I've known lots of girls,
but there's never been one who showed
herself such true friend as you have
been There's never been any one who
believed in me this way when l was
practically down and out"

never had a chance to show whether
they believed in you or not"
"That MY be one reason" he an

81 wonder why your sister Carolina

"You were quite fond of her, weren't

feeling he had had for Carolina and
the tender emotion that thrilled him as
he thought of the sweet girl before
him. This time be knew he was not
mistaken. He knew that he truly
loved Hope Langdon.
"Or I'm lover" he asked again, anx.
ious at her silence.
Hope looked at him slowly. A faint
blush illumined her face.
"Oh. don't let's talk about me-" she
exclaimed.
