;that much OF the vonts in your blood.
Your words 4 bond with .you.%
.TAll me-" David begged, about
that something n.ore?? 5ss5
..The times not yet" his uncle re-
piled. you shall know, lad, In sood
season"
David was client for moment,
filled with nameless and displeasins
apprehensions. He was brave
enough, prepared to meet any oral-
nary emergency. but somehow or otn-
err the vagueness Of the task wnlcn
lay before him seemed. appa!lins:
Outside was ,Mandeleys, 2 grtm'ano
silent remembrance. Inside the COT.
taxe everything seemed to speak OF
changeless times. The pendulum OF
the tall clock swung drowsiiy, as it
had swung thirty years ago. Tne
pictures on the wall were the same,
the china, the furniture, even its ar
rangement. And the man who at
in his easy-chair vas the same. only
that his whiskers and hair were white
where once they. had been black~
Uncle" he begged. '.let me know
the worst now?"
| you'll know in good tinse and not
| before" was the almost fierce reply,S
"Don't weary me tonight. lad" VontQ
continued. his voice breaking a little.
THE day has been full Of trials for
me. Twas no light matter to have
la strange woman here--the strange
woman. David. that was once my
I, daughter" t
David frowned a little.
"Uncle," he said. II don't wish to
pain you, but ! am sorry about Mar
cia." t
You don't need to be. lad. She
isn't sorry for herself. Shesis pulled
up with the vanity of her brain. She
came here in fine clothes and with
gentle and a new sort OF
voice. She has made herself
lady! Poor lass. her day Of suffer-
ing is to come! Maybe I was hard on
her, but l couldn't bear the sight OF
her. and that's the truth. She talked
to me like one filled with wisdom. III
was me whom she thought the ignor-s
ant one. Put Marcia out of youra
mind. David. We will talk Of othefs
things" n
David leaned forward in his chair.S
His eyes were bright, his tone eager.s
LET us have this out. uncle" he
begged. I've been thinking offit-;
perhaps as much as you lately. They
may have been wrong those two; they
may be sinners, but, after all, tho
world isn't a place for holy peoplsl
only. The Bible tells you that Fog
nearly twenty years he has stood b.
her and cared for her. There h.
been no meanness, no backing out e.
his part. He is as much to her tod9S
as ever he was." MA
Jay" his listener %interposed scorns-
fully. ''she talked that way. Do yon
reckon that a man and womanfWAM
sinned a cor of years ago are am
the better because they are going 0e
