Things Worth Remembering

The cost of this precious mat was al
most incalculable. for more than
6,4O0 pounds of pure ivory was used
in its construction. Only the finest

the finest woven fabric.

CHAPTER XIII.

ATARY FLETCHER had been a
MI widow for year before she
heard again from Gordon Craig
Meanwhile she had secured a position in
an uptown office in which her con-
scientlous work and keen interest In her
duties were soon recognized. II was
not until after her husbands death that
she knew that. years before, Bert had
had his life insured in his mothers
favor for thousand dollars He wished
TO let this lapse after his marriage, but
his mother had kept up the payments
on it saying nothing about IL to her
daughter -in-law.
This sum enabled the two women to
move from the tenement in which they
were living and take as small fiat
and one almost as cheap in neighhor-
hood where there was less squalor and
more pure air. Here the little boy -four
ished under his grandmother's judi
cious care
Then at the end OF this first year Of
her widowhood. she met Gordon Craig
again upon the street. He glanced in
guirinEIy at the black dress which Mary
had donned not because of grief for her
husband, but because she felt that
black was a safe and proper garb for
a woman situated as she was, She told
herself that in her heart she was
mourning for the happiness she had lost
and for the wrong she had done in
marrying where she did not love. Craig
asked for her address. hut she gave II

She did not mention that Craig had
sent a line to her at her office saying
that he would call this afternoon. As
Mary lifted his woman child 10 her lap
she felt a throb Of mother love for the
little girl that made her gather her
closely in her arms and kiss her The
child smiled and chung to her Craig,
watching the pair, spoke quickly.
