The Surprise Madge's Father Dis
closed to Her.

''In the first place." my father
said, much as if he were reciting a
lesson, my financial affairs have
been picking up quite perceptibly OF
! late. OF course, | never shall have
| what | used to possess, but | no
longer have before my eyes the fear
of dependent old age, such as
haunted me for while.
"Providentially-and in a manner
which even yet l do not understand
there was averted from me some
time ago drain upon my resources
which would eventually have COM
pletely bankrupted me. And ever
since things have been prospecting
with me, for | was enabled to make
investments with the funds thus
saved that have resulted most favor
ably with me-"
He paused as if trying to frame
correctly his next words, and in the
interval there flashed upon my
mental screen a film which would
have explained to him the rescue
from bankruptcy which he could not
comprehend, but which Lillian and
| had planned that he never should
suspect. Again l saw the knocking
evil face of the women who had
been the cause of my fathers de-
sertion of my mother when l was
but years old, and who had come
back into his life but a few short
months before with blackmailing de-
mands that threatened to ruin him,
The Plan Disclosed.
Because of his obsessing, fanatical
desire that | should know nothing
of this woman he had foreborne to
use against her the legal machinery
that needed but touch of his finger
to set in motion. He was even pre-
pairing to sacrifice his slender re-
sources to her avarice when in
answer to my appeal, Lillian, call
ing upon Allen Drake to aid her,
had effectually thwarted the wom-
an, driven her evil, sneering presence
out of our lives forever. .
The keenest qualification I had
felt at our triumph over her was the
knowledge that my father, thanks
to Lillian and Allen Drake, would
never know my connection with his
rescue. His reference to it showed
me that he supposed me to be in
complete ignorance of the nature of
that threatened drain upon him, and
| thrilled with gladness that through
my friends | had been able to avert
this suffering from him. i.
$50, there is no reasoSg he re-
sumed, and | came to mefital "at-
tention" at his words, why should
not indulge myself and you in any
reasonable pleasure. And while an
unprejudiced judge'-his eyes twin
killed. again, and ! caught a flash of
the rollicking humor that must have
been his in his long-forgotten youth
might not consider new motor
car in that light, still think we may
venture-how would you like a new
car OF your very own and the serv-
ices of a professional garage man to
teach you to drive 1.-THE whole
thing to be a profound secret until
you are an accomplished chauf-
ieuse?"
Really Wistful Joy.
| do not think | have ever felt so
like a glceful schoolgirl as | did
when my father finished speaking,
and the full significance of his pla.i
burst upon me. l turned in his
arms, Rugged him ecstacially. and
fairly squealed my delight as Marion
might have done.
"Oh-oh-father! Oh, how per-
