mending, nodded. pursed her lips, or
raised her eyebrows.
II Linda might ever have been
worldly minded, she had had her les
son now, and the viewpoint she gave
Harriet was the lofty one Of wom-
an who has faced supreme sacrifice
without shrinking and with unwaver-
Ing faith.
'You did right, DEAR" she assured
her sister. "You could not stay there,
under the circumstances. Whatever
their code Is, yours is different. yours
has not been yitiated by luxury and
idleness. AS for Mr.. Carriers talk of
marriage, that, of course, Is simply an
INSULT"
mo, / don't think It was that" Har-
riet said, feeling herself revolt inward
ly at this plain speaking.
II don't see what else 1t could be-"
Linda pursued, serenely. "A married

hard to hide the irritation that rose
rebelllous within her, che Is legally

Il am speaking Of Gods law, not
MANS" Linda said, gently but awfully
and Harriet was silent. "Fred says
that such men regard these matters
far too lightly" Linda finished. Fred's
| name, thus introduced, always had the
effect of angering Harriet. She had
shared the family exaltation over Pip's
| recovery, and had thought more than
once in that fearful night of his illness
| that even poverty, gray hairs and the
agony of parenthood, shared with the
man she loved, would have been &C.
stasy to her. But in the slow days
and weeks that followed, her spirit
| became exhausted with the struggle
| that never ended within her. Her
| bridges were burned behind her; it
was all over Whatever her emotions
had been in leaving Crownlands, the
Carriers feelings had been quite obvi-
GUS and simple. Old Madame Carter
had wished her well; Ward had writ
ten from college that he thought 1t
was ''rotten," and that she had been
corker to get Dad to raise his al
lowance for him; Nina had felt her
own wings the stronger for the
change; and Richard had interrupted
his little speech Of regret to answer
the telephone, and had given her a
check that placed, 1t seemed to Har-
riet, the obligation permanently with
her. The utter desolation Of spirit
with which she had left them was evil
IDENTITY unshared; the only word she
had had from that old life had been
from Mary Putnam, and even this cor
dial note Jared Harriet with Its frank
revelation of the change in her posi-
ton.

self, playing games with little conva-
descent Pip, walking over frozen roads

: CHAPTER u.

There was trouble at !dnda's house;
trouble so terrible that Harriets unex-
pected arrival caused Ra comment,
caused no more than weary flicker
Of Linda's heavy eyes. Pip the adored
drst-born son, lay dangerously Ill, and
the whole household moves on tiptoe,
heartsick with dread. 1t was diph-
iberia, very bad, Fred stated lifelessly.
Linda hardly left the room; they were
afraid for her, too, IF anything hap
pened." "If anything heppened!"
Harriet thought she had heard the
phrase q hundred times before the
dreadful night came.
She had taken Linda's place for an
hour, but before 1t was up the mother
came back, and they kept their vigil
together. Fred answered the strange,
untimely ringing Of the doorbell,
brought in packages, conferred In the
halls with the doctors. Midnight
came, two o'clock, four o'clock.
Suddenly there was panic. Har-
riet, by chance In the hall, saw Linda
and Fred and the doctors together,
heard Linda's quick. anguished "YesF
and Fred's "Anythingw Her heart
pounded the nurse ran upstairs. Har-
riet fell upon her knees with Sob
bling whisper, "No--no-no!" and Lin
da chung to her husband with a cry
torn from the deeps of her heart. "0h,
Pip-my own boy!"
Dawn came slowly and reluctantly
at seven; the village lay bleak and
closed under sky Of unbroken gray.
Here and there smoke streamed up
ward from chimney, or a window
pane showed an oblong of pale light
Harriet put out the light that was
becoming unnecessary. But her heart
was singing for JOY, and the house
was brimful of an inner light and
cheer that no winter bleakness could
touch. The girl had been crying until
she was almost blind, but 1t was cry
ing mixed with laughter and prayers
of utter thankfulness.
She met Linda at the door, weary
Linda. CHASTITY es to face, grayer as
to struggling hair, but with such radi-
ance in her eyes that Harriet, clasped
In her arms, began to cry again.
ooh, Harriet--if | can ever thank
God enough !" Plp's mother said, be-
ginning on her breakfast with one long
sigh. "Oh, my dear! He's sleeping
like baby, God bless him. and dear
old Fred is sleeping, too. Oh, Harriet,

feeling that we're all going to be
happy together again, in few days
my dear, | don't know what I've done
to be so blessed! My boy, who has
never given anyone moments care
or trouble since he was born-my dar-
ling, who looked up at me yesterday
with his beautiful eyes"
The foodgates were loosed, and
Linda laughed and cried, while she
enjoyed her breakfast with the appe-
tite of a normal woman released from
cruel strain, whose whole brood lies
safely sleeping under her roof. Nam
my's light illness. Pip's wet feet, Lin
da's unwiIlingness to believe that 1t
was anything but cold, every hour
of the four awful days of danger, she
reviewed them all. And oh. the good
ness OF people, the solicitude OF nurse
and doctor, the generosity of God !!
II was the afternoon of the next day
when Harriet could first speak OF her
own affairs. Linda listened, over her

Spencer cited the Sacco-Vanzetti
case to illustrate how propagandizing
machinery Is being speeded UP, and his
resolution mentioned the sprlnging up
of numerous organizations now en-
gagged In raising funds represented to
be for Russian relief"
Although the activities of the inde-
pendent relief organizations were up
for attack, speakers were careful to
emphasize the need of relief In Russia
as distributed by the American RELIEF
administration.

Harriet, bitterly. ~ will simply have
TO forget 1t, and begin again, that's
all
And she meditated upon David, the
excellent, steady, devoted David, who
was Fred's brother and dentist In
Brooklyn. and who gave the children
wonderful holidays ut Asbury Park.
II would make Linda and Fred very
happy to have her change toward
him: they were little hurt and 81
lent about David. He always went
with them to the crowded beach where
they spent July and August, had had
a cur this year, Linda told her sister,
and had been 80 popular"
David was there, Christmas day, and
there was a fire and tree, hapny chill

coming in to see the toys, snowy wet
garments spread IN the porch after
