All that evening and the next
day Helen was haunted with the
thought of this overwhelming mis-
fortune that had come To the Ran
dalls. She did not quite know if
IT was customary to call on ones
friends at such time, but she
thought that she might be some
help or comfort and finally decided

understood.

she reached the Randalls e apart

her in.
The moment she entered Helen
seemed to feel the atmosphere of
suppressed tragedy, although
there was nothing in the surround
ings to suggest il. The front room
where she waited was in its usual
exquisite order. 4 red berried plant
with n red satin bow and a pile Of
Christmas cards on the table were
lingering remnants of the holidays,
that contrasted curiously with the
tense brooding silence.

that she had made a mistake IN

Just here, to Helen's surprise,
Mr.. Randall appeared 1t the door.
He was evidently on his way out,

When few moments later the

tears.
