The group which gathered in Pro-

BILE living room few days later was
strangely assorted one, but the
faces all held the same intent ex-
preston and their eyes were focused
on the boyish figure which lounged
easily in the window seat. All the
tenants of the house were present ex-
cept the keeper of the antique shop;
Gordon Ladd, moody and silent; Hen
ry Griswold, with his little skull-cap;
the professor himself, as impertura

Deep silence rewarded him save
for an audible gulp from Craig and

under the rascally guardianship of
hypocritical bank president. The
older girl was delicate, the younger
crippled to the point of physical de-
formity, but with strong deter
mined, alert mind. They were pos
sessed of little property and their
guardian made up his mind to marry
the oldest girl off as early as posi-
Bile, but he saw his chance with the
younger one because of her infrmity.
He put her in an institution which
was practically an idiot asylum, and
her older sister was powerless to
help her.
1T is a wonder that the little Grip
pies mind didn't give way with the
horrors about her, but it didn't even
when greater horror and grief

A gasp that was like the stirring
OF dry leaves ran around the little
circle, but no one spoke and after n
moment Barry continued:
There were two years of happy
married life, however, before the
other womna appeared upon the
scene, and during those two years
the bride was enabled to provide for
her younger sister, remove her by
law from the hands of their guardian
and have her completely cured of
the physical disability which had
crippled her. In return the younger
sister adored her passionately with
a single-hearted devotion which bore
fruit in later years.
When the woman known to all
