would not have known how to meet.
AS the car stopped in front of the
station, the baby stirred. Fred, get
ting down, held out his arms.
"Wait,'' she said, strange note in
her voice. 1T seems so healthy-you
don't suppcse-perhaps child around
the house."
Fred, who had long ceased to speak
his regret that he had no children,
looked at her at first without compre-
hension, then with great light in his
tired eyes. But it died out as suddenly
as it had come. "Nell, you must be
crazy. Why, we're lucky if we're al

A few minutes later than this con-
versatioa, a well-set-up young man and
slim, piquantly pretty girl were gaz-
ing at each other with miserably def
ant eyes.
"No-no-no, Jim," cried Beth. Il

Jim turned to go, and Beth stood
twisting and untwisting q damp little
ball Of handkerchief. Why didn't she
dare follow the dictates Of her own
heart, not the bidding Of cynical SIS
ter. however good that sister had been
to her?
AS Jim opened the door, the eleva-
tor stopped across the hall. Out
stepped Beth's brother-in-law, carrying
something in his arms. Behind fol-
lowed a strangely alive-looking woman,
whose first words struck most incom-
prehensibly on the younger girls ear.
"Beth, dear, please telephone at

them to send up the best graduate

hurried after her husband who had
gone into an inner room.

and Beth went hto them. When she
raised her head to meet his lips the
bells Of the city were breaking forth
in Joyous peal:
