Bruxton Sands was as genuinely as

| a day. She had hardly been able to
believe her eyes on reading Mrs. Mis-
sioner's name on the card thrust
through the grating of her cell. Long
ago she had made up her mind that
the chain of circumstances, or perhaps
an enemy, had sown in her kind
friends mind suspicion that she was
guilty. AS the days rolled on and she re-
ceived no word from Mrs Missioner,
the conviction grew upon her. Even
this very day she had give I'D the
hope of rehabilitating herself in the
eyes of her employer. Not that 1t was
an employer she mourned in loss of
Mrs. Missioners confidence. The
rich widow was her friend; had been
her family's friend. and had been the
first to offer her refuge In the ter
rible days following discovery of the
fact that her kindly, gentle father. aft.

her without the provision she knew
he always intended to make.

her countenance. You have done
many lovely things for me. but this Is
quite the dearest! 1t seems hard even
to picture you In such a place, and

You poor child" exclaimed Mrs.
Missioner, hardly controlling her
voice. What about yourself? If It
Is distressing to me to come here, It
is terrible for you to be here. How
can you stand it?"
"One learns to stand many things"
she answered. when fate commands;
yet If anyone had told me few weeks
ago that could so much as retain my
reason in place like this! Now that
you are here. 1t seems far easier oh,
but 1t Is good of you to comet"
The widow took the girls hands in

she whispered words of encourage
