ing except what an unknown CORE
spondent had written.
Leighton had already forgotten
that only a few hours ago he had
declared to Jefferson his confidence
in Smith. IL was one thing to be-
lieve the fellow was honest, but
quite another for Desiree to try to
prove the chauffeur in the right and
her father in the wrong.
For a while Leighton was very
angry.
His temper was OF the quick and
rather violent type. But his love
for his child was stronger than his
temper. When he had sat alone
smoking for an hour. after Desiree
had retired to her room, he was
willing to regard the whole affair
in a more temperate spirit
OF course, Desiree has spoken
very foOlishly-yet, after all, she
was only a girl and had inherited
her mothers impulsiVe disposition.
The mans face softened as he re-
membered Desiree's mOther-sO like
her child in looks and disposition
Desiree had been attracted by this
gOOd-loOking chap, first because he
had had a Wound-stripe on his
sleeve-then because he had been
suspected Of a theft OF which he
was innocent.
The chauffeur had left his posi-
ton in anger. He would know bet
ter than to show his face here in
the future. He need never expect
his former employer to recommend
him to anyOneI
A Comforting Reelection.

Smith would ask a favor OF him.

tion," he unused. Had I been I'm

too. But now he is gone and we
can drop him and his behavior from
our minds. In a few days DesireI
will have forgotten ali about him."
With this comforting reflection
he went to bed and to sleep.
Desiree, too, spent an hour in
deep thOught-although she went
to bed and put out her light before
letting her thoughts dwell on her
recent dispute with her father.
She tried to convince her con-
science that she had been in the
wrong-but her efforts were vain.
Surely she had been right in re-
senting her fathers sneers at
man who had been his faithful
employe.
Then she appreciated that IN TAX
ing this line Of argument she was
not dealing honestly with herself.
She had championed Smith because
she cared for him.
In the darkness Of her room she
felt the hot blood rush to her
cheeks with the admission. But she
must be candid with herself. She
trusted Smith entirely. She longed
to see him again.
Her father had said that his
chauheurs real name was not
Smith. She could scarcely credit
this statement-yet her father had
spoken as one who was certain Of
anyway, II the young man was
certain Of what he said. She would
die sooner than ask for an eEplana-
tion. And, anyway, II the young
man was using an assumed name,
Il was not because he had dishon-
ored his own name. OF that she
was certain.
Then, as at other times, she dwelt
on her fathers goodness to her.
She loved her parent. He was all
she had. In spite OF her indigna-
ton az his attitude, she must re-
