"YOu are wonderfully kind to come
at once" The young mans hands
trembling and his voice husky as he
finished reading the note. "Ive made
dozen searches for the ring, but had
given up finding it. Roor mother must
have kept 1t near her heart as long as
she lived. I felt that she'd like her
clothing to go to those who could use
it, and so I had the housekeeper send
lot of 1t to that committee. I wish
l knew how to thank you enough"
"But you've already done so much
for me by sending the things that
mother needed so. Daddy always said
that blessings and sorrows were made
to be shared but"
"Waitl Surely there was only one
man who said it just that way" The
young man was looking hard at Angy
now. 'Is it really Angy Lane? Can
it be?" Angy's surprised affirmative
brought this further exclamation:
"And I am Harry, Angy. When I came
home from college last summer went
to see your father, but all the people
could tell me was that he had died and
that you and your mother had moved
away. Has the world been good to
you, Angy" Then for the first time
since they had recognized each other
both Of them remembered how they
had been brought together. There
were tears in the eyes of both as Har-
rison Eads, whom Angy had known
before only as Harry, led her into the
sunny breakfast room. "Sit here and
have cup Of coffee, and then well
talk everything over" he said quietly,
as he placed chair for her across the
table from where his own unfinished
breakfast awaited his return.
In talking everything over there was
so much to say and so many times
to say "and do you remember" that
1t was nearly noon before either of
them knew it. When Angy started
home she was In big limousine be-
side Harry, with fur robe tucked all
about her. When they went together
into her mothers room, there were
"do you remembers" all over again, un-
til Harry's deep but trembling voice
told the mother that he and Angy had
agreed to share all their blessings and
sorrows as long as they lived, includ-
ing the joy Of having her With them as
their mother. AS proof, he pointed to
the old-fashiOned ring he had placed
on Angy's finger.

| known only as Harry, who used to
come with his violin to be mended or
strung and who always went away
wearing some flower from their gar
den. Sometimes he had brought them
rare flowers from his mothers large
! garden, where a real gardener kept
everything in formal order.
"SOme warm clothes for my mother
and little food" was Angy's timid
response to the inquiry of the moth
erly woman at the head of the big
distributing counter inside the build
| ing.
"This box seems to have been just
meant for yOu," smiled the lady, as
she held out a large pastebOard box
containing a dOwny gray kimono,
knitted shawl and slippers and some
stockings and underwear. At another
counter Angy received packages of
coffee, bread and bacon. Then she
hurried to her mother, wondering how
she could introduce the various things
gradually enough to prevent the real

"Hear the good news, mother!" she
exclaimed cheerily. "The snow is be-
ginning to melt at last. And see the
good things to eat!" As she spoke she
spread the packages before the rheu-
matte cripple's surprised eyes.
"How good that coffee smells!" ex-
claimed her mother.
"And soon you shall taste! Oh,
we're going to have a regular game of
the five senses, for you're going to feel
something good, too, pretty soon."
With many gay hint, but no direct
statement, about where it came from,
she held the soft kimono before her
mother, and as she stepped behind the
chair to spread the warm garment over
her mothers shoulders, she felt In its
inner pocket a small package. Fear
Ing it might tell story, she removed
1t to her own apron pocket. After
supper was over and her mother sound
ly sleeping, Angy opened the package.
1t was but folded envelope of note
size. She drew out the contents, which
proved to be sheet of paper contain
ing a written message and a tiny pack
age wrapped in tissue paper.
"My dear boy" began the note in a
delicate and cramped handwriting, "be-
cause one girl proved undeserving of
this gift, you think now you'll never
want to bestow it upon another; but
somewhere in the world is a good true
girl who will love you for yourself
alone as 1 did your father when he
gave this gift to me. After 1 am gone,
keep this until the right girl comes
into your life; then give to her with
my blessing. am sure you will find
one who will become as you say your
wife must be - like your loving
mother"
Unwrapping the tissue, Angy found
small chamOis bag containing a ring
set with an old-fashiOned cluster Of
diamonds. Inside the ring was en-
graved, Arthur and Emily, June,
1885," Within the chamois bag was
written the name, "Emily Harrison
Bads." Across the top of the sheet of
note paper was an engraved street ad-
dress-"44 oxford place."
Angy sat a long time huddled near
the family heated register, planning

part with. The sum she received for
it was very small, but it would leave
her a few nickels after paying car
fare to the distant Oxford place ad-

door of the big stone house did not
conceal her surprise as Angy asked for

"Oh, please pardon me-" stammered
Angy, "but this message must have

The message can be given to him."
Angy was admitted to the warm

broad-shouldered young man appeared

she delivered the package and ex-
planned how and when 1t came into
