Father turned squnre around and

he asked then. And Ia have been
scared ~ his voice II It hadn't been
for the great light that was shining
in his eyes
But looked Into his eyes, and
wasn't scared; and | told him every
thing. every single thIng-Hll about
how Mother had cried over the little
blue dress that day In the trunk-rnom.
and how she had shown the tsrnlshed
lace and said that she had tarnished
the happiness Of him and Of herself
and Of me: and that Il was all her
fault; that she was thoughtless and
willful and eXacting and spoiled

He didn't interrupt me--not long
Interruptions. He did speak out a
quick little word now and then. at
some OF the parts; and once know

out and slipped around me In graa,
big hug.
''Bless your heart! But, Mary. my

great idea came to me
'oh. Father I cried, couldn't you
come counting her again-calls and
flowers and candy, and all the rest
oh, Father. couldn't you? Why, Fa.

shake his head

then. 1T would take more than q
flower or a bonbon to-to win your

But you could try" I urged.
He shook his head again.
"She wouldn't see me-H I called

He sighed rs he said II, and sighed
too. And for q minute I didn't lay
