was coVefou MA.n sheet Of tnln coi and on long pins sticking in it were dozens of great, velvet winged moths. Each one was labeled, always there were two of a kind, in many cases four, showing under and upper wings of both male and female. They were of every color and shape.
 Mrs. Comsteck carefully closed and replaced the boxes and again stood looking around the room. This time her eyes rested on some books she did not remember having seen before, so she picked up one and found that it was a moth book. She glanced over the first pages and was soon eagerly reading. When the text reached the classification of species she laid it down. took up another and read it's in troductory chapters. Then she found some papers and studied them.
 k She went downstairs thinking deep 1y. Being unable to sit still and hay ing nothing else to do, she glanced at the clock and prepared supper. She went out and sat on the front door step watching night creep all around her. She started eagerly as the gate creaked, but it was only Wesley Sin ton coming down the walk.
 Katharine, Margaret and Elnora passed where was working this after noon, and Margaret got out of the car riage and called me to the fence. She told me what she had done. I've come to say to you that am sorry. She has heard me threaten to do 1t a good many times, but 1 never would have got it done. I'd give good deal if could undo 1t, but I can't, so Eve come to tell you how sorry am"
 You've got something to be sorry for" said Mrs. Comstock. ''but likely we ain't thinking of the same thing. 1t hurts me less to know the truth than to live in ignorance. Now, if Elnora will forgive me we will take a new start and see what we can make out of what is left of life. If she won't then it will be my time to learn what suf- fering really means"
