every one but her mother.
And then on her vacation she had met
the man Of men. the one whom she felt
God had intended for her-"one whom her
reason as we'll as her heart approved
The courtship had been short one. When
she went home again she was John Hark-
wright's wife.
When they went to see her mother the
four-year- -old boy was kept out of sight
Thy had made no friends among the
nelghbors: there was no one to tell her
husband about the boy But to make
safety doubly sure. she had installed her
mother and child in another home. And
there she visited her mother openly with
her husband; her child by stealth and
alone.
Often she made up her mind that an
other sun would not set with the secret
untold but ever the fear of her hus-
bands displeasure held her back. She
trembled under the fear of discovery. She
took endless precautions to prevent it
Her mother talked it over with her every
time she saw her

But that night John was late-so late
that she became uneasy. At last she de-

John was in tie library. where there was

Two words and she was done with Sc
crecy and deceit. Almost she could feel

words were said. But something kept
her from confessing. The color Hooded
