CHAPTER II.
PART OF THE TRUTH COMES OUT

Eric was ~ years old when his aunt,
in a fit of annoyance, brought on by
his throwing q stone at the fleeing tor
mentor, Chetwynd, told him hat his
father was a murderer, and hat he
was likely to become n himself I'M
less he mended his ways.
1t was the first he knew Of that
tragic episode in the life Of his blithe
father. The blow was so crushing that
he was a long time in coming to the
full realization Of its force. He skunk
off, dazed, bewildered, frightened.
Chetwynd's haunting laugh pursued
him as he made his way blindly
through the yard to the street below.
That was but the beginning. They
had held it back as long as 1t was in
their natures to do so. The great WON
der lies In the fact that they RETAINED
at all. Little Mary was not slow to
observe the sudden change in her
brother. A curious depression, an I'M
accountable ~sullenness in his manner
puzzled her. Young as she was, she
knew that there was something in his
mind which he would not reveal to
her.
He was but II. He possessed not
the power Of initiative in so grave, so
stupendous a problem as the one
which confronted him. He could not

lions. There was no one to whom he
could go. 1t came over him suddenly
that he was deprived of all that was
good and noble and decent in the
world. In his small, cropping mind, he
wondered If all the children with whom
he placed knew of the great secret, If
all Of them knew that his father had
killed a man. With furitive eye and q
new purpose, he watched their faces
for signs betraying the slightest sense
of aversion toward him. He waited in
a great, hungry suspense for his aunt
to repeat her TRADE. He waited for
fresh taunts from Chetwynd-he ever
invited them, with a subtleness sur
prising in one so Young.
But they were frightened, they were
wary. Mrs. Blagden, in her haste, had
spoken without consulting the master.
Horace had told her often that when
the proper time came, in his opinion,
he would tell the children the story of
their misguided parents. She realized
that she had gone far beyond her
rights in robbing him of the privilege.
She was not sorry for Eric. The
haunting, ever alert question in the
boys dark eyes made no impression on
her. She had lived too long in the
gray house on the hill for thst. Be-
sides, he had thrown a stone at Chef
wynd. And more than that, the boys
who came up to play always asked for
Eric, not Chetwynd. She could not
understand it in them. She secretly
resented the preference.
Several days after her unfortunate
slip, she went to her pastor for advice,
She had not slept well. She was afraid
that Eric might go to his uncle for the
truth. The Rev. DR.. Presbrey, Of the
First Congregational church, of Cor
NTH, was a good man, an immaculate
Christian, q traveller who had not ever
glanced beyond the confines Of the mar
row path. He had lived in Corinth for
so years, since the day of his birth, and
once had done something notable in the
