not worrying, etc.
Il shall be all right. and very hap
py II you will do right by me and
stay with me, and love me as | love
you" | told him. Then over and over
| assured him that all | cared for in
the world was that he should care
only for me, my happines, as |
cared for him,
| never dreamed that this constant
iciteration of my love might tire
him; that he would become annoyed
because OF my carescs. To hear
him say he loved me was sweet
music to me; why should he not feel
the same?
That women crave the expression
OF love far oftener than do mon
now believe, but at that time
Judged Bob by myself, taking no ac-
count Of the difference in tempera-
ment his desire to rest after a hard
day at the office, or the frame OF
mind he happened to be In. To say
L love you darling had become as

John Kendall began to improve
almost as soon as his mother arrived.
Rob had said so much to me about
calling on her that one Afternoon
asked Elsie to go with me. Mrs
Kendall was very dignitied, very
handsome old lady with the manners
Of a grande dame. She spoke in
glowing terms OF Bob and OF his de-
Votion to John:
~ don't know how I can ever re-
pay him" she said feelingly
/ wanted TO tell her that she could
repay me by persuading Bob TO give
up some of the people with whom he
spent so much time--her son includ-
od-but hardly dared. II was one
thing to talk to a young woman like
Marion Rigg. and quite another
thing TO express my opinion TO this
dignif!od matron.
She served tea and cakes, and
while John and Elsie chatted OF the
social matters in which they were
interested, she talked to me. I told
her OF Donald, and she declared she
was very fond OF children, and hoped
she might see him before she left
for home,
81 am going to try to keep her
now that she Is here" John broke
in He was In an invalld's chair and
looked very thin and old.
Il shall stay as long as YOU need
me, my dear boy" she replied, then
explained that Johns father was not

worry when I go now that have
met his friends" she added. turning

Elsie heard and flashed a laughing
glance n mo.
I am glad you were pleased with
them, Mrs. Kendall but do not
care for them, They are altogether
too free and easy to please me"
She looked surprised, and both
Elsie and John looked n bit dis
trcssed, but 7 didn't mind.
"Thev belong 10 bohemian elias
of people NJ whom I disapprove more
because OF their influence on my
husband, than for any other reason,
7 went on, not appearing 10 notice
the look OF surprise on her face, al
tho Il had not escaped me.
Bob Is too sensible TO be In
t'uenced by anyone" John Kendall
said quietly Then he added, smil-
Ing humorously. Even by you, Mrs
Garrett, have known him many
years and I have never known him
TO really give In IN anyone's opinion
on any vital subject He doesn't
say much, hut notice he usually
does ms he thinks right Irrespective
OF anyone else"
He IL married now" returned
"and has mo TO consider" then we
loft I was sorry had called. and
with my mind made up to tell Bob
what had been said. 4
