Hughes was duly touched, but the
impression was not lasting. There
was something artificial and insincere
about Eta Harness. Under the influ-
ence of his present emotions. howev-

''Ill do it" spoke Hughes. Il shall
call upon Mrs. Harness and Alberta.
One or the other I will endow with
fortune and hope to trace out some
real affection for me; genuine glad
ness to welcome me as a member of
their household during my remaining
few years"
An hour later he entered the home
of Mrs. Harness. He was told that she
was out on an errand and was shown
into a sitting room. InvOluntarily
memory directed him to the niche
where he had viewed his mothers pOr-
trait. 1t was not in place. Then as
he glanced into the room beyond
Harness saw it lying across two chairs,
used as an ironing board. The shock
ldrove him to his feet. He had faith

relative. He was half-minded to re-

plan.
They had always lived humbly, but
respectfully. From the day that AL.

had but one thought in his mind-her
comfort and contentment and that of
the little ones who came to them as
the years passed on. ~

music and the voices of rollicking chill
dren in the apartment overhead were
borne to his ears.
The recognition of the fact that he
was getting old, that he was missing
something in life that might make
him better and happier, appealed to
him powerfully this Christmas eve.
He had mechanically distributed the
usual Christmas largesse at the office.
Homeward bound he had neglected no
appeal from the street mendicant.
This was not soul-satisfying however.
1t had dawned upon him that he had
brought his isolation upon himself;
that there were at least two persons
in the great city who were of kith and
kin and he set to summing UP the
duty he owed them.
II have been no closer to them than
if / were an utter stranger" he solilo-
quized. ''It is my fault, | suppose, for
I have encouraged neither; for years
| have simply sent them the usual hOl-
iday check. When l am through with
what I have it must go to others.
Which of the two deserves recogni-
tion-Etta Harness or Alberta Norris?
The first named was a widow and
second cousin. Hughes had supplied
the capital to start her in a boarding
house at her urgent request and she
had managed to make living out of
it. For time he called and she had
put herself out to make upon him an
impression of admiration of his sue
cessful business record, of gratitude
for his financial cooperation, of her
love and devotion for him, the last
near relative she had in the world.
Then, too, she had appealed to him
in a strong way. Once she had TAX
en- him to a draperied niche off the
sitting room, and had showed him a
life-sized oil painting of his dead
mother.
"She was like sister to me-" said
Mrs. Harness pathetically, "and you
