talk to her in pleasing voice she
found herself shyly answering his
questions.
That evening as Barbara came into
the hall the young man was just going
out, and she heard him address the
landlady as Mrs. Wilson" Then was
Barbara puzzled again. At last she
came to the conclusion in her own
room that Mrs. Wilson must be his
stepmother. "And that's why he never
looks out for the furnace" he thought,
because she isn't his own mother. He
isn't bit nice"
The next night it was bitter cold and
Barbara found that the thermometer
had dropped to &c degrees. With war
raging in her heart she descended al

Mrs. Colegrove knew that he kept on

nearly persisted with anxiety. And SO

discussion of ali. She had fought a
good fight and failed.
AS she sat there upon the davenport
she thought desperately, futilely OF
many things. If Tommy ever went to
see Evadne Farrar he would come back
engaged, and after that it would be toe
late. Evadne Farrar! She hated the

He looked surprised, then Joyous.
She's coming, is she? Glad to hear
it. Mother, dear, before yaddy's been
in this house two days you're going to
change your opinion of her. She's a
wonder. When you consider that she's
never had any chance at all, that her
parents were actors and that she was
carried on the stage as baby and that
she's kept at it because she had to do
something and knew nothing else-I
say. when you consider all this she's to
be admired for what she is. In spite
of all she's been through, she's the
cleanest, whitest sbu1ed girl I ever
knew. And she wouldn't tell a lie to
save her life

Dorothy was introduced to him she

spurred by her new interest, Bertha
procured some neat cards, announcing
the opening of Miss Boyd's Private
School in Mansfield. A black and
white sign was placed on the front
door of the cottage; and an attractive
advertisement appeared in the weekly
paper.
September merged into October and
the school season was in full swing;
but no applicants had appeared at the
Boyd Private School. Behind her
buff net curtains, Bertha sat gloomily
watching the daily procession of chill

That night she lay long awake think

she had feeling that so far she had
found nothing wrong with the girl.
1t was midway of the next afternoon
that Mrs. Colegrove, coming down
stairs too quickly, turned an ankle and
fell headlong. Eyadne was waiting in
the hall for her. Tommy was already
in the car, for they we're about to start
on a ride. So it was Evadne who
reached her first. Before Mrs. Cole
grove tainted she had a sight of the
girls face, and she felt somehow that
Evadne would prove herself equal to
the occasion.
The fall proved less serious than the
turned ankle. Mrs. Colegrove was put
to bed and the doctor came.
You're going to need few days
nursing, dear lady," he said. "Shall 1
not send for Miss McCann?"

Boyd's Private SCHOOL," she declared.
But the dark, virile face of Morgan

They talked of their mother, who had
been dead nearly three years. Their
memories Of her were indistinct; but
Bertha had heard of the handsome
mistress of Brentwoods, who had given
more time to social affairs than to her
home and family. And she realized
that these little ones, with all the
splendor that surrounded them, had
lacked the tender caresof a true moth
er.
One morning in December the gray
car from Brentwoods halted at Miss
Boyd's house for the second time that
day. 1t had come from the railroad
station. and as the man who alighted
opened the schoolroom door most
