never had loved him. Yet the thought
Of him flied her with a strange sensa-

yet she longed to see and talk to him.
To this day she cannot explain the ma

her. yet it was always present.
After a while time soothed her heart

happiness in the future with her baby
girl, Emaline, who had been born

to forget, in a measure. the man whose
subtle power had ruined her life. Then
suddenly, one night after she had re-

came over her and she knew Milburn
was near. Arising. she went down

When Alice arose in the morning all

upon her had vanished. The mans
power she felt more strongly than
ever. His visits were repeated al
ways secretly, and none but the girl
ever knew of his presence in the par
ish. She dreaded his visits but could
not or would not avoid him.
Finally she resolved TO leave the
place of her birth forever, and with
her daughter, Alice slipped away from
her fathers home, telling no one of
her plans. She went to Whitehaven
and there sought employment. This
she obtained and after a while life
again assumed brighter appearance.
