Allan found his mother in her room,
packing trunk and gently weeping
into ii. He laid his hand upon her,
and presently he found her work-worn
frame resting in his strong arms.

er, are your" he said. "YOu wouldn't
do that?"
mot IL it could be helped, Allan.
But there is no help. Your father has

The boy stood helpless In this con-
Fiction. He knew something OF the
depth, OF the nature Of his parents, and
he knew that beneath an undemonstra-
tive exterior they cherished in secret a
love prOportiOnate 10 the strength Of
their character. But the long course
down which they had walked together
seemed now to be separating, through
neither will nor power OF their own; II
was as though straight parallel lines
suddenly turned apart and neither
lost its straightness in the turning.
So he comforted his mother with
such words as he could. Loyalty TO
his father forbade laying any of the
blame on those shoulders, and to
blame his mother was unthinkable; so
with unconscious wisdom he spoke net
OF blame at all.
"Of course. while we are away, why
shouldn't you have visit?" he said.

claimed. "Where In Sam Hill did you
come from?"
"It's a big country, Hirarl," he said
with a touch OF bitterness, "but not
big enough for fellow to lose himself

bed and liz a cigar, rendering another
to Rifles. and the two men pulled In
silence for few minutes.
"Yes, I've hit a lot of trail since

The younger man leaned back and
slowly pulled circles of fragrant smoke
at the ceiling, while Rifles surveyed
him from the head of the bed. He had
been business man in Plainville. but
had become involved in theft case,
and had managed to escape from the
town simply because fellow mar
whom he had wronged did not trouble
to press the matter against him.
Gardiner showed no disposition TO
reopen the conversation about Plain
Vile. so at last Rifles asked, "How

"Saw your scrawl on the register"
he said, "and I've seen II toe often on

Riles took the suggestion Of a few
days delay with poor grace.
"Yes, an while you're chasing up an

wife do her visitin' no other timer"
'I'll tell You. Rifles" said Harris,
who had no desire TO pursue a topic
which might lead him into deep water.
''you go ahead out and get the lay of
the land, and I'll follow you within
week. I'll do that, for sure, and I'll
stand part Of your expenses for going
ahead, seem you will be kind O. repre-
sentin' me-"
The last touch was stroke Of diplo-
macy. The suggestion that Harris
should pay part of his expenses swept
away Riles' bad humor. and he agreed
to go on the date originally planned,
and get what he. called "a bede on the
easy money" while harris completed
his arrangements at home.
He was to get "a bede on the easy
money" in a manner which Harris lit
tie suspected.
When Harris returned home the
next forenoon he found that Mary had
already left for Plainville. He sat
down and tried TO think. but the house
was very quiet, and the silence OPP
pressed him. He looked at his
watch and concluded he had still

mean surrender, and surrender meant
weakness.

MISTAKE IN THE LOCATION
Despite Walters Assertion, Traveller
Was Convinced They Were In
the Wrong Room.

The late William Dean Howells was
very fond OF travelling In Spain. He
once said on his return from Anda-
tusia:
"The Spaniards, especially the
southern Spaniards, have enormous
families. Eight children is the aver
age. and families OF 16 and II chill
dren are quiet common.
"But they don't know how to raise
these children. They take babies Of
three or four months travelling with
them. In every hotel and train there
are sure to be as many babies as
adults.
IL was ushered one evening by a
Malaga waiter into the lofty marble
and bronze restaurant OF sumptuous
hotel. The restaurant was crowded
with babies.
""This is our dining hall, senor,'
said the waiter complacently.
