forced to part with her son to save
his life and could not find him again,
she gave her great mother love to an
orphaned baby girl.
Years later, with n clean reputa-
ton established, not only her son, but
two men out of her past crossed her
path. Her one thought was to shield
the girl and her son. who loved each
other, from the knowledge of her
past.
For them her great love permitted
her to be tortured and tormented al
most beyond spiritual endurance. But
the mystry was finally cleared and
mother love triumphed."
