Yet she had lied and il that lie

of all others she had cared most for
she had cheated most completely.
Perhaps he didn't care for children
now. Perhaps he would never think
of them again. Perhaps, oh perhaps,
a hundred cOnjectures
But clearly standing above the
others were these two issues-she had
lied to win him and because of that
lie she had cheated and played false
to the one she loved.
A lie is a vigorous parent. imbu-
ing its offspring with its ever power
full blood of doubt and worry Always,
she felt, she would think from time
to time that she had cheated him. and
that In the deep recesses Of her mind
he would feel her love had been a
very frail and weak thing.
Yet agnin and again reverted to her
mind the knowledge that had it not
been for that lie when she had spoken
II Gregory and she would never have
been happy.
And these doubts and worried
thoughts were the heritage of a lie
such as hers had been.
1t seemed like miracle. She had
given ND all hope. Still at times the
lie she had told in the first place of
ali haunted her. because she felt she
had cheated Gregory. He never re-
ferred TO 1t. He seemed radiantly
happy. But she had worried.
And then some time after she had
told him, she knew. She was glad she
had told him. She was glad that he
knew her weaknesses and faults and
all Her happiness over the coming
child was so much greater because she
had told him.
"And It's to be an anniversary child"
The Christmas carols were pealing
forth when small boy opened his
ewes upon the world 80 new to him.
I'm sorry it's not girl so we can
call her Marjorie" Gregory smiled.

can name him Gregory" Marjorie
whispered.

little later. The clock just struck
twelve.

And the small boy gave shr1ii

And she spoke the truth. But yet
truth that was only half truth.
They were married, In the little VII
age church on Christmas Eve and
when later the carols pealed forth they
felt as though even the carols we're
for their happiness alone!
They had been married several
years. Closer and closer had they
grown together. How glad she was
she had waited until she was sure
she loved. She had had so many pro-
posals and there were girls who had
had so few She had often thought of
the girl to whom the simplest Of
pleasures had come as complete and
magnificent JOY. This girl had had no
