mep cried the agitated Eunice, losing
all control of herself amid her pro-
found embarrassment. Your father
has been my best friend. l owe so
much to him that was overcome by
gratitude II could not help it."
Dear Lady," said Alan Larned
gravely and with the greatest defer
ence, 81 take your devotion to my
father as knew he fully appreciates
it and as sad reminder to me of
how unworthy of his confidence l

Eunice scanned the troubled face
grown suddenly serious and haggard
closely She with Mr.. Larned sup
posed this only son to be at work in
another city. His words, his manner,
desperate, intense, told Eunice that
the young man had dismissed his
present discovery as trivial compared
to some heavy weight of trouble, of
remorse that lay heavy upon his
mind.
81 can trust you, Miss Graydon,"
said Alan, more than ever now. l
must make a confidant of somebody
or go mad with what is troubling
me. 1 came here to tell all to my
father. But it will break his heart.
l am unworthy of his confidence, his
esteem"
Eunice glanced at the clock. Her
employer would not be due for nearly
half an hour. Alan had sunk to
chair, his head bowed in bitter
thought. She sat down beside him
and placed gentle, tremulous hand
upon his own.
"Mr. Larned," she said earnestly,
tell me all about.you trouble. Let
me try and spare your father, who
loves you SO, if possible. Let me help
you"
The young fellows eyes filed with
tears at this exhibition of a warm,

as Alan named sum approximately
the amount of her savings.

afraid that you will not repay me.
Take it, dear" and she proffered her
savings unostentatiously. Because
of your father, because l shall think
of you and pray for you. Oh, do not
forfeit the trust"
Not a word of all this to Mr.. Lar
ned The trustful father knew not
of the abyss his son had escaped, nor
of the loving hand that had guided
him to a haven of hope and courage.
And this proved true. Naught but
pleasing news came from the boy
after that And then at the end of a
year Eunice received a remittance
covering her generous loan, with in

Alan Larned wrote, blessing her.
He told her Of new life, where he
had developed literary ability that

Mr.. Larned called Eunice into his
