lived for fear they would come to see
her. and so find out about her mother
At last she fell sick and they did
come. and when they knew her secret
they refused to have anything to do
with her when she went back to
work. She was also engaged to be
married to a worthy young man, but
when she revealed to him how her
mother lived he broke off the match
because he was not willing to marry
into such family.
These girls both say that they have
chung to their mothers, trying to hold
them up, and hoping that love for
them would make the erring women
repent and lead better lives, but thew
have become discouraged, they see
their own lives being wasted and
ruined and they want to know what
is the right thing for them to do.
MY advice would be to get up and
go so far away from home that the
shadow of their mothers shame could
not fall across their lives, and to
where they will have a chance to be
Judged on their own merits instead
Of being condemned for the faults of
their parents.
Owe a Debt.
Children owe a debt TO their pa

owe their children that it is not to
be considered in a case like this.
More than that, when the parents
misbehave themselves they forfeit
their rights to their children's consid-

IN HE moment Warren entered
Helen knew by the set lines Of
his mouth that something I'M

There were some things that past
experience could never teach Helen,
and one of them was not to purr
over Warren at such times. When he
came home with that grim express

to be let strictly alone, yet she could
never resist futtering about him with
anxious questions.
Dear what is it? Has anything
happened? You look so tired and

Had the loss of her ring been a fore
boding of this? Suddenly she dropped
the work basket and rushed into her
room, lest Warren should see her
tears. on the bed she buried her face
in the pillow so the sound of her
sobbing would not reach him.
There had been hardly an hour in
the last week since she had lost her
ring that she had not looked for II
somewhere, and always with that sick
feeling of dread that If she did not find
IT, 1t would in some way mean some
estrangement between Warren and
her, And now-now he was going to
Paris for three months! She tried TO
think of what the days and nights
would be without him. The whole
world had grown suddenly black.
Then she heard Warren's voice call
ing her She started up, hastily
brushing away the tears.
Where did you put that long en-
velope OF papers / brought home last
night he shouted impatiently
why, isn't it in the desk drawer
there? Wait, I'll come and get it,"
hurrledly fluffing the powder pun over
her face to hide the tear stains.
But when she had found the en-
velope, he glanced at her sharply
whats the matter with you? Sup
