1t was Christmas eve. A beautiful
woman sat staring dolefully at the
embers of the fire.

Slowly her eyes wandered round the
room until, with a guilty start, they
rested on something standing on the
mantelpiece.
It was baby's money box. Her
hands clutched the chair convulsively.
IF l only dared!" she murmured
but what would John say"
For a few moments she stood de-
batting the awful question in her mind,
and then she took the box in her
hands.

pered.
Then, with guilty face, she broke

Very little was said, but after a
time young Halsey nervously removed
the newspaper from his little machine,
and displayed it uncovered on the
table, a ribbed and coiled and toothed
little model, showing file marks here

Rawn. cleared his throat as he ad.

whom he still felt naught but awe.

Halsey spoke very calmly, yet the

resting on the edge of the table, trem-
