needed a health talk. Pearl sat like a
craven image while Mrs. Francis con-
scientiously tried to stir up In her the
seeds of right living.
"Oh, ma" Pearl said to her mother
that night, when the children had gone
to bed and they were sewing by the
fire. "Oh, ma she told me more today
about me insides than would care to

Don't worry, alannah," her mother
said, soothingly, as she cut out the

But Pearl was not yet satisfied.

worked a buttonhole. "You don't know

Francis's heart was kind. when you
could get to II; but It was so deeply
crusted over with theories and reflec
tions and abstract truths that not very
many people knew that she had one.
When little Danny's arms were
thrown around her neck, and he called
her his dear sweet, pink ladys her
pseudo intellectually broke down be-
fore a power which had lain dormant.
She had always talked a great deal
of the joys of mother love. Not many
of the mothers knew as much of the
proper care of an infant during the
period Of dentition as she.
She had read papers at mothers
meetings, and was as full Of health
talks as school physiology.
But it was the touch Of Danny's soft
cheek and clinging arms that brought
to her the rapture that Is 30 sweet IL
hurts, and she realized that she had
missed the sweetest thing in life. A
tiny fame of real love began to glim
mer in her heart and feebly shed it's
beams among the debris of cold theories
and second hand sensations that had
filed 1t hitherto.
She worried Danny with her atten-
tions, although he tried hard to put up
with them. she was the lady of his
dreams, for PEARLS Imagination had
clothed her with all the virtues and
graces.
Hers was a strangely inconsistent
character, spiritually minded, but self
ish loving humanity when it is spelled
with a capital, but knowing nothing Of
the individual. The flower Of holiness
in her heart was like the naughty orchid
that blooms in the hothouse, untouched
by wind or cold, beautiful to behold but
comforting no one with its beauty.
Pearl Watson was like the rugged
little anemone, the wind flower that lifts
its head from the cheerless prairie. No
kind hand softens the heat or the cold,
nor tempers the wind, and yet the very
winds. that blow upon il and the hot
sun that beats upon It bring to il a
grace, hardness, a fragrance Of good
cheer. that gladdens the hearts Of all
who pass that way.
Mrs. Francis found herself strongly
attracted to Pearl. Pearl, the house
keeper. the homemaker, a child with
woman's responsibility, appealed to
Mrs. Francis. She thought about Pearl
very often.
Noticing one day that Pearl was thin
and pale, she decided at once that she
