He could not resist the caress, nor
the tear-stained, appealing face.
So engrossed were they in their
reconciliation that they did not hear
a blackboard rattle up to the gate.
Only draft of outer air told them
the cabin door had been opened. They
turned to see Leila's father and moth
or standing on the Threshold.
With a cry of welcome, Leila ran
forward to greet the newcomers.
In the pleasure and excitement of
the reunion she did not notice her
mothers very evident repulsion at her
surroundings. Not until Tom had car
ried Mr.. Austin off to look at the mine
did the older woman speak her mind.

dreamed this was the way you had to
live I'd never have had q peaceful
nights rest"

clared her daughter Loyalty.
"You have a hundred times less
than any longshoreman's wife," posi-
lively denied Mrs. Austin.
eff I can bear it," returned Leila
with forced gayety, "you ought to be
able to-"
"But you can'ti You're coming back
home with us. This very day."
To fight back the craving to CRY
out, Eyes! Yes! Yes!" the CIR
| turned to the tub and began her neg
lected weeks washing.
Tom Carter, with Mr.. Austin, came
in from their visit to the mine. Mrs
Austin ran to her husband.

Your old sweetheart, Halsey
Brent"
He read and re-read the whole
scrawl. Long he stood there, move
less, the scrap of paper in his hand.
He was reused from his gloomy
reyerie by the jolting of the rural
free delivery buggy as it drew up at
the gate.
Leila's thrice-a-week letters had
been the only bright spots in Toms
loneliness. Eagerly he seized the one
letter the postman left for him today.
AS he looked at its superscription his
expectancy turned to chagrin. For
the letter was not from Leila, but
from her mother.
He opened 1t and read:
Ny Dear Tom: I am writing this
on my own responsibility and without
Leila's knowledge. She is slowly re-
covering from that horrible life out
there in the wilderness. But the doc
tor agrees with us that she must
never, never go back to it. That is
why / am writing you.
81 assume that you are not alto
BeIner SelIlSn ana LnaI you nave Lei
las welfare at heart. Her experience
in the West proves how ill-htted She
is for the brutality rough existence of
a poor mans wife. And. now that
the mine has failed, you are hopeless
ly poor and are likely to remain so.
'Are you going to force my fragile,
delicately nurtured daughter to go on
sharing your poverty and hardships?
If you do, she will die; or at the very
least, she will become an invalid.
cor are you man enough to give
your wife her freedom, so that she
may sometime be able to marry a
man who can give her the care and
the Injuries she Graves?
IF you truly love her-if her best
welfare means anything at all to you
there can be but one reply to these
questions. You will give her up and
allow her to retrieve her one miSer-
able mistake, by marrying as her in
| terest and q thinlI) her heart dictate.
Think this over, very carefully,
and let your better nature guide you.
The letters contents seemed tC
scar themselves into poor Tom Car
ter's brain in words of fire. He tore
the paper into a score Of fragments
in his first outburst of Indignation
Then his eye fell once more upon the
postscript Nellie Collins had written.
And at once he saw the impulse be-
hind Mrs. Austin's cruel letter. Among
them these SNUG relatives of Leila's
were trying to make her forget him
and to marry her to richer man.
He flung a few clothes into bat.
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-09-08

tered suitcase, ran to the mine to
give final instructions and swung
aboard an eastbound train three hours
later.
Tom Carriers guess as to the state
of affairs was amazingly near to the
truth.
Leila's homecoming had been as the
return of a loved one who has mar
rowly escaped torturing death in
some accident. Her parents and her
friends had showered her with atten-
tions and had sought in thousand
ways to make up to her for what she
had undergone.
One OF Leila's first and most fire.
quent callers, at her fathers home,
was Haisey Brent.
Leila had never loved Halsey Brent.
She did not love him now. And she
was not even inclined to flirt with
him. But she found IL mildly pleasant
to be singled out for attentions by
this young Napoleon OF finance for
whom a score of girls were angling.
Wherefore she allowed him to call
whenever he cared to-which was
very often.
Mrs. Austin, more worldly-wise than
her daughter, was not minded to give
people cause for gossip about Leila.
So one day, when Brent called, she
contrived to snatch few words with
him In private, before Leila came into
the living room.
"Mr. Brent" she began abruptly, as
she greeted the caller. "You are COM
ing here rather frequently Of late. AS
a man OF the world you must under
stand that my daughter cannot afford
to be put in a false position in the
eyes Of our friends
MRS. Austin, / have always loved
your daughter. You know that. /
love her now more than ever. Don't
misunderstood me. I've spoken no
word of this to her. And / shall not
until she is legally and morally free
to listen TO me-"
You would have my approval and
her fathers" replied Mrs. Austin with
ELUSIVE heartiness. 81 will write today
to Tom Carter and plead with him to
set her free for her own sake"
Thank you, ten thousand tines!
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-09-08

you, Tom. Always. Whenever you
send for me-"
Four weeks later Tom Carter strobe
into his cabin, shoulders erect, face
aglow. Straight across to the table he
went, found a scratchpad among some
odds and ends, and sat down to write
to Leila. His hand fairly shook with
joyful excitement as he began his fast
scraw1ed letter.
"Sweetheart-my own sweetheart"
he wrote. Great news! Glorious
news! Wonderful news! haven't
written before because vowed I'd
wait till I could send good news.
You've had too much of the other
kind from me.
after you left for New York
called the men together and had a
heartto-heart Dutch-uncle talk with
them. I told them hadn't a cent, but
that I was enough of mining expert
to know there was gold somewhere
in the Leila A. II only we could
blast our way through to 1t. / asked
them to take a chance with me for
three months, without pay; promising
them double wages for the whole
time, IL we should strike gold.
They accepted, after lot Of per-
suasion. And for the past four weeks
we've worked as we never worked
before.
"Today-just one hour ago-we
blasted our way into vein that's
fairly bristling with high quality ore.
It's bonanza, sweetheart! The big
gest strike OF the decade.
It'll be matter of millions for US.
There's no longer shadow of doubt.
It's the real thing"
Then, folding the letter, he looked
about for an envelope. He could find
none. His search brought him at last
to the dresser.
He did not find the envelope he
sought, but he found something else.
In the top drawer, among some CLOTH
ing. Leila had left behind in her hIr-
ried packing. he happened upon q
crumpled half sheet OF paper-the silly
postscript of Nellie Collins letter
the postscript that told of Halsey
Brent's good fortune.
Toms eye was caught by the words:
Northern Wisconsin advertiser. [volume] (Wabeno, Wis.) 1898-1925, 1916-09-08

She Found II Mildly Pleasant to Be
Singled Out for Attentions by This
Young Napoleon of Finance.
and was from Nellie Collins, the girl
hood chum who had been her brides
maid.
As she read, the gossipy scrawl of
her chum seemed to lift the tired
woman out OF her dull routine and
TO watt her back to the fiuff-brained
gayety oc earlier days.
She read slowly and with morbid
relish the entire rambling epistle.
Then, at last. she came to scrubbed
postscript on a separate, half-sheet.
The postscript ran:
al hear your old sweetheart, Haisey
Brent, has cleaned up million IN
war munltion deal. Everything he
touches turns to gold"
The. sill lines burned themselves
into Leila Carriers brain. In q rush
they brought back visions OF what
,oirht have been hers, if she had not
