CHAPTER LXXIV.

How would Mildred take the
news? What would be the effect
upon her of the knowledge of Tom
Chandler's accident?
Such useless speculations haunted
Honora for the hour that elapsed
between the arrival of the afternoon
paper and her sisters return from
the office.
Mildred had said that she did not
care for Tom Chandler. Yet now
that he was injured-was, perhaps
going to die-might she not fancy
that she cared for him? Too often
girls mistook pity for love. Honora
was very anxious.
So it was with astonishment ana
relief that she heard Milly's voice
cheerily calling her name as soon
as the girl entered the front door:
Here I am - in the library.
Monora called back.
Mildred hurried in, her face
flushed with exercise or excitement.
Guess, what's happened" she said.
Then, before Honora could reply
Harold Hilton's in Fairlands! In
valided home"
"How - how - do you know
Honora stammered.
She was too much confused to
collect her wits. Perhaps Mildred
had not seen the afternoon paper.
If not, what n change might come
over her happy face when she heard
the truth!
Whats the matter?" Mildred
| asked, noting her sisters embar-
rassed manner. "Oh, by the way,
how are you feeline?"
'Much better" Honora replied.
Then, with an "Milly-did
you see the paper-T mean-have
YOU heard"--
"Yes!" Mildred interrupted sharp
". "Whv under the sun do you
have to drag up n hateful subject

that You might let me forget it If
I can. And right hero and now I

But Honora began. Again her
sister Interrupted brusquely:
'I know all that Won are going to

CHAPTER CLXXXN.

Our first home in the Walgrave
had been only a little court room,
yet for a moment, | thought OF II
with regret when ] beheld the big,
formal suite Jim had taken for our
return visit. Then the glowing mass
of red roses caught my eye and
warmed my heart. Even if jim
couldn't be with me on the evening
of our return, he had remembered
the mornings moment of tenderness
and the flowers were sent to tell me
that it held the same promise FOR
him it had given me.
With a glow of happiness that
frightened the whole room, l buried
my face in the fragrant mass, and
as I did so an envelope tucked under
the vase caught my eye. jerked out
the little card it contained and read:
"Hail and farewell, dear lady ten
ant. All happiness wherever you
abide"
There was no name on the card,
but it was quite clear the flowers
were from Tom Mason. From Tom
Mason. And l had been so happy
for a moment, dreaming they were
from jim!
Then it became suddenly impos-

80 am l." Honora managed to
say.
Her senses reeled at Mildred's at
titude of mind. Even though she
thought she knew her sister, the
older girl had not until now appre-
ciated what a light, facile nature
hers was. Could she really love any
body, or could she feel anything in
tensely-anything except the graft
fication of her vanity?
1t was the same old question that
Honora has put to herself so often.
Now she realized that she must an
swcr it in the negative. Mildred had
never loved, perhaps never could.
such being the case, one must. simp-
ly make the best of the girls lack

| VINO were good to her-until they
opposed her wishes.
Yet Honora loved her little sister,
so tried to judge her charitably and
| to rejoice that the painful expert
ences of yesterday were so easily
forgotten. Had Mildred been cap
able of deep emotion, She must even
now be overwhelmed and distressed.
AS it was, the past was as dead as
| if 1t had never existed.
The older girl had once read a
sentence that recurred to her now.
1t ran-"Blessed are the women who
have no deep feelings of any kind.
IThey are so much happier and SO
much safer"
| Honora doubted the truth of this
assertion. Mildred might be happy.
