10 Miss quests belier ana mine
also that you employ the period
that otherwise should have spent q.
Nassar In acquiring some regular
and legitimate profession so that II
ever the need comes you shall be
able to take care OF yourself.
Miss Quest Is inclined TO think
that course in hospital training
under her direct supervision might
prove acceptable to you. This you
could have in the institution en-
dowed by Miss Quest at Bayport.
Perhaps such a course may sp-
peal to you more than a college edu-
cation. II SO, l shall not be dis
satisfied.
But after that, n you still feel
that your life's work lies in the
direction OF artistic self-expression,
you Will be old enough to follow
your own bent, and entitled to en-
ploy your opportunities toward that
end.
] have left you properly provided
for: | leave you and Jim all the
love that is in my heart.
This is not the end, Steve, dea..
There is no end-just a little rest
between the acts for such old actors
in life's drama as your dad. Later,
you and Jim will join behind the
scenes-my wife and land wo
shall see what we shall see!-my
little girl!-my darling. DAD.
The boy and the girl sat up late
in the libray that night discussing
the two letters which so profound
ly concerned them.
Indeed, the old order OF things
was about to pass away before
their dismayed and saddened eyes
eyes not yet accustomed to tho
burning grief which dimmed them
hearts not yet strengthened for
the first heavy responsibilities
which they had ever borne.
Il can't bear to leave you, Steve"
said the boy. striving to steady his
voice. What are you going to do
about college?"
"Well-I-Tll go back to college
and finish the term. Dad wanted
it,"
Neither dreamed of disobeying
the desires expressed in the two
letters.
"Will you finish college?" he
asked
Il don't know. want to do
what dad wished me to do......I
wonder what course in hospital
training is like?"
Down there at Bayport?'
yes. After all, that is ac-
complishing something. And | like
children, Jim
"They're defective children down
there"
poor. little lambs! IL believe
/ could DO some good-accomp/h
something But do you knew, Jim,
it almost frightens me Shen
remember that you will be away
two years." She began to weep,
lying there in her big chair with
her black edged handkerchief press
ed against her face.
II wish ] could take you to Ec'
rope, steve" he said huskily.
She dried her eyes leisurely.
Couldn't you? No. you couldn't,
of course. Dad would have said
so if it was what he wanted. Well
then I'll finish the term at Vassar
You won't go before Easter
NO I'll be here, steve. Well SEQ
each other then, anyway. Do
you think you'll get along with
your aunt?"
don't know" said the girl She
means to be kind, I suppose. But
dad spoiled me. Oh, Jim! I'm
I'm too unhappy to c-care what be-
comes of me now. I'll finish the
term and then I'll go AND LEARN
HOW TO NURSE sick little defec-
tive children while you're away
her voice broke again.
IT wish you wouldn't cry" said
the boy;-"Im-I can't stand
it"
"Oh, forgive me-" she sprang UP
and flung herself on the rug beside
his chair.
