LETTERS OF
A BRIDE"
Ma.sma~~>.

think of the dear old place at home.
1 have so much to tell you, darling.
1 love my house so, and Mary says
I am getting to be a splendid house,
keeper. Doesn't that make you proud
of your ''romping girl?"
OF course, Bobby, the angel. thinks
everything I do perfect, he really is
spelling me dreadfully. He makes me
breakfast in bed, because he has to
take the $50 train to town, and you
konw how / have always been
sleepy head in the mornings.
MotherinIaw.
What a beautiful thing it is. Num-
sic, when a girl and her mother are
the friends that you and have always
been. 1t is such a comfort to know
that L can tell you everything and feel
so sure Of your sympathy and under
standing.
had luncheon with Mrs. Cation yes
terday. I wish I did not feel half
afraid of her. 1 try to get on we'll
with her, because she is Bobby'S moth
er, and he loves her. but she is not one
bit easy to love like a certain precious
Mumsie I know.
I know she thinks me frivolous, and
not half good enough for her son.
AS for Bobby's sister, Charlotte, she
is so patronizing that 1 take distinct
delight in letting her feel that 1 know
him far better than she uoes, and that
I know makes her jealous. She adores
him so.
Perhaps it's naughty, Mumsie, but a
wife comes first, which fact Miss Char
lotte seems to forget or ignore.
Now, it's time for Bobby's train. so
goodbye, dearest with heaps of love
for you both.
Your loving daughter.
Peggy Cation.
P. 81 forgot to tell you something
most important I'm going 70 give a
dinner next week. A real dinner party.
Mary and Norah and I are so excited
over 1t.

All he said, 81 thought we had
met before, though 1 don't remember
your name. But that shot didn't kill

His lips twisted into a bitter smile
Then he looked cynically round at the
rich furnishings. the costly pictures.
the glittering silver, and the hundred
and one things that gave evidence Of
wealth
You have been lucky since then. I
see I've gone to the wall-and STAYED
there. A touch of weakness brought
me lome a month ago. but II wasn't
game to face my people when it came
TO the push. Now I'm waiting my
chance to get back"
But Beverley had gripped him by
the shoulder. Something was clutch
ing in his throat, and it was a long
time before he found words:
Don't be fool. Why, man. 1 thought
L was your murderer, and I'm respon-
sib1e for you now. You're young vet.

And, excusing himself he jumped UT
and went dazedly after the young man.
The girl looked at his disappearing
figure. and her eyes were bright with
unshed tears as she strummed with
her fan on the seat
He doesn't love me after ALL" she
said to herself. What a little fool ]
was to believe he loved me-"
But Beverley after he had fulfilled
his mission. had blurted out some apoI-
ogies to his hostess and left the house
For time he wandered. not knowing
where he was going. his numbed
brain telling him he had come to the
end Of all things. A deep horror was
soaring his soul to it's depths, and new
er before had his crime seemed 10
stand out with such vivid reality. He
had killed her brother-Alixe's broth
er.
Hardly knowing what lie was doing,
he hailed hanson and gave the ad-
dress of his rooms. It was dimly In
his mind that he must leave England
as soon as possible, that he must tear
out his love by the roots and let the
memory of it die
The cab whirled over the damp
pavement flickered through Beverley's
brain. Once it stopped with jerk, and
little crowd gathered round Bever-
ley's stick raped at the top irritably,
for he was in no mood to brook delay
Whats wrong now?' he snapped
out.
Nothing much, sir; a man Knocked
down He's not hurt bad, think"
Put him in here. then" said Bev-
erley abruptly. There's a doctor In
the next flat to mine, and he'll attend
to him"
thin. seedy looking young man
with a fair, struggling beard was help

it reached the door, Beverley gave or
ders to his valet to have the man at
