Mother Sensible.

Of a very sensible turn Of mind was
NIildred's mother. She had not even
questioned Mildred on the happenings
on the ball field She knew her daugh-
ter would tell her in her own way.
And Mildred did tell her as she was
making ready to accompany her father
10 the mountains This is what she had
said
you know what 1 did yesterday,
don't you, MOTHER
YES dear"
"Weu, / just couldn't help doing H..
mother. When / saw that poor man ly-
ing there as though he was dead. a
feeling Of pity, or something like IT,
came over me and I felt, for Just that
minute. as though Gordon Kelly was
my own brother and / ran 10 him just
4s though he was my own brother
Of course. I am sorry for all of us that
il got I'm the papers. Do you feel hurt
because I did it, mother
NO, dear
That was all that was said.
Feeling as she did toward Forrest
cain. Mrs Deery did not propose TO tell
him where her daughter was, or how
long she would be absent, Cain threw
out one feeIer, but he quickly discovered
that Mrs. Deery did not care TO inform
him SO he did not refer TO the subject
again. After half an hour OF conventional
talk he took his departure.
Deery spent day in the mountains
with his surveyor and his superintendent
and then. making sure that Mildred was
comfortably settled and apparently en-
long herself. he returned to Atlanta.
cain called at his office soon after he
arrived, ostenslbly 10 inquire if Deery
had made any progress in securing the
Kelly property I'm the mountains. but in
reality 20 find out where Mildred was.
lie secured his information. Mildred's
father IooSiug upon cain with consider
ably more favor than her mother did,
and laid his plans accordingly.
Remembered Shack.
He recalled having built on his noun
tain property, three years back, shack
which he had intended 10 use as head
quarters for hunting trips but he had
never utilized 70, in fact. he had never
visited his property for any purpose. lie
