late.
Fortunately the elevator was up
and he fell on lot Of straw and re-

died she'd leave me-

Having got it out, she hurried on to
hide her confusion"
NOW, it has occurred to me that 1t
wouldn't be wrong for US to deceive
her. It's necessary sometimes to de-
ceive invalids for their own comfort or
benefit. We might pretend. you know,
that it's all made up between us. You
don't misunderstood me, do you?"
Certainly not, Ethel"
it'll be such a comfort to mother,
and you won't have to keep it up very
long"
Dear old lady! I'd do almost any
thing for her. You may count ON me,
Ethel. When shall we b~egin-now?"
Certainly not. There's no necessity.
Well begin the next time we're with
mother"
During the next time the invalid
noticed a marked tenderness On the
part Of John Rathbone and an enbar-
raised expression on the face of Ethel.
As soon as the mother and daughter
were alone there were questionings
that added to the girls embarrassment,
to which unsatisfactory answers were
given, and she seemed rather unhappy
than happy, but her'mother knew that
love was something of a malady and
believed that matters had come round
as she desired.

would, has quite recovered. Now, this

ing my resolution to make a confession.
The beginning of the new year is an
especial season for making fresh
starts, you know. and I've been think
ing that we might tell mother the true
state of affairs on New Years day"
You're right. Ethel. l don't like de-

"You will always have that priyi-

Ethel led the way to her mothers
room. The old lady was seated before
a blazing wood fire, the flames OF
which danced and glistened on a pair
of old fashioned brass andirons. John
took one of her hands and Ethel the
other. Then they both kissed her,
wishing her "a happy New Year
After a few remarks appropriate to-
the day John began the confession.

to Johns request.

stretched her hand across her mother
