Ryanne folded his arms and stared
at the sand. George sat down and
aimlessly hunted for the stub Of the
cigar he had dropped; a kind Of reflex
action.
The two men were all alone. The
camel.boys were asleep, Mahomed

Shortly Flanagan returned. He had
half a dozen fresh corn-cob pipes and

Ryanne lighted up, about as near con.

Fortune looked Mortified.
"Oh, mean gum!" roared Flanagan.
No, Fortune did not possess that du.

her. 1t was the child.
Did she possess. after all. a latent
sense OF motherhood, and was 1t stir.
ring to establish itself? She really
did not know. Was 1t not fear and
doubt rather than motherly instinct?
She paused in front Of the mirror, but
the glass solved only eXternals. She
could not see her soul there in tho
reflection; she saw only the abundant
gifts of nature, splendid, double.hand-
ed, prodigal. And In contemplating
that reflection, she forgot for a space
what she was seeking. But that child!
From whom did she inherit her Pc
culiar Ideas Of life? From some Puri.
tan ancestor Of her fathers: certainly
not from her side. She had never
bothered her head about Fortune, save
to house and clothe her, till the past
forty-eight hours. And now 1t was too
late to pick up the thread she had
cast aside as not worth considering.
To no one Is given perfect wisdom:
and she recognized the flaw In hers
that had led her to ignore the mental
attitude of the girl. She had not even
made friend of her; a mistake, a bit
Of stupidity absolutely foreign to her
usual keenness. The child lacked

or four years she would be. Mrs. Ched-
