The message can be given to him"
Angy was admitted to the warm
hall, and a few minutes later a tall
broad-shouldered young, man appeared
in the wide doorway of the library. In
the semidarkness of the great house
she delivered the package and ex.
planned how and when it came into
her possession.
"You are wonderfully kind to come
at once" The young mans hands

finished reading the note. 'I've made

Sand I am Harry, Angy. When came
home from college last summer I 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 Wen
talk everything over" he said quietly
as he placed a 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 land do you remember" that
it was nearly noon before either OF
them knew it. When Angy started
home she was in a big limousine be-
side Harry, with a fur robe tucked ali
about her. When they went together
into her mothers room, there were
