Mother and l were alone.

Mother and l were alone.
 We sat back-a long ways back. l wanted to go up front, real far front the front seat, if I could get it; and told Mother Sc. But she said. back two more rows from where she was. and got behind a big post
 I guess she was afraid Father would see us. hut that's what I wanted. l wanted him to see us. I wanted him t0 he right in the middle of his lecture and look down and see right there be- fore him his little girl Mary, and she that had been the wife of his bosom. Now that would have been what called thrilling. real thrilling, especial ly if he jumped, or grew red. ar white. ar stammered. or stopped short. or anything tn show that he'd seen us and cared.
 I'd have loved that.
 But We sat back where Mother wanted to. behind the post. And. of course. Father never saw us at all.
 It was lovely lecture. Oh. of course. don't mean to say that understood il. didn't. But his voice was fine. and he loOked just too grand for anything. with the light on his mo- ble brow. and he used the lOyeliest hig words that ever heard. And folks clspped. and looked at each other. and nodded, and once or twice they laughed And when he was all through they clapped again. harder than ever.
 Another man spoke then. a little (not near so good as Father). and then IL was all over, and everybody got up to go: and saw that lOt of folks We're crowding down the aisle. and looked and there was Father right in front of the platform shaking hands with folks.
 I looked at Mother then. Her face was all pinky-white, and her eyes were shining. I guess she thought l spoke. for all of sudden she shook her head and said:
 yOu may. dear. Run along and speak to him: hut don't stay. Remember. Mother Is waiting. and come right back"
 l knew then that 1t must have been iusi my eyes that spoke, for l d.d want to go down there and speak to Father. oh. I did want to go. And I went then. of course.
 He saw De. And. oh, how did love the look that came 10 his face: il was so surprised and glad. and said, "Oh You" in such a perfectly lovely way that l chOked all up and wanted to cry. (The idea ,-cry when l was so glad t0 see him T

ing at once, and telling each other how glad We were to see each other.
 But he was looking for Mother-I know he was: for the next minute aft er he saw he, he looked right over my head at the woman back of me. And all the while he was talking with me, his eyes would look at me and then leap ss swift as lightning first here and then there. all over the hall. But he didn't see her. I knew he didn't see her. by the look on his face. And pretty quick I said I'd have to go And then he said:
 Your mother-perhaps she didn't did she come?" And his face grew all red and rosy as he asked the question
 And l said yes. and she was waiting. and that was why l had tO go back right away.
 And lie said, Yes. yes. to be sure" and. ''good-by." But he still held my hand tight. and his eyes were still rov- ing all over the house. And l had to tell him again that I really had to go l: and l had to pull real determined at my hand. before l could break away.
 l went back tO Mother then. The hall was almost empty, and she wasn't anywhere in sight at all; but I found her just outside the door, I knew then why Fathers face showed that he hadn't found her. She wasn't there to find. I suspect she had looked out for that.
 Her face was still pinky-white, and her eyes were shining; and she wanted to know everything we had said everything. SO she found out of course, that he had asked if she was there. But she didn't say anything her self, not anything.
 In the afternoon I wen. to walk with one of the girls; and when I came in l couldn't find Mother. She wasn't anywhere downstairs. nor in her room nor mine, nor anywhere else on that floor. Aunt Hattie said no, she wasn't out, but that she was sure she didn't know where she was. She must be somewhere in the house.

and, oh, how 1 should love n v.
 It was here that Fathers arm cams out and slipped around me in a great big hug.
 Bless your heart! But, Mary, my dear, how are we going to-to bring 1 thlS about?" Then is when my second l great idea came to me. "Oh, Fatheri" cried "couldn't you come courting her again-calls and flowers and candy, and all the rest :? On, Father, couldn't you? Why, Fa- ther, of course you cOuldw
 This last I added in my most per suasive voice, for I could see the mo" on his face even before he began to shake his head
 I'm afraid not, my dear" he said, then. "It would take more than a flower or bonbon toto win your mother back now, 1 fear"
 But you could try" I urged.
 He shook his head again.
 'She wouldn't see me-if 1 called. my dear" he answered.
 He sighed as he said 1t, and sighed. too. And for a minute 1 didn't say anything. Of course, if she wouldn't
 Then another idea came to me.
 But, Father, If she would see you l mean, if you got a chance, you would tell her what you told me just now; about its being your fault, l mean, and the spirit of youth beating against the bars, and all that. You would. wouldn't you?"
 He didn't say anything, not any, thing, for such long time l thought he hadn't heard me. Then, with & queer, quick drawing in of his breath, he said:
 q think-little girl-if-if ever got the chance l would say-a great deal more than I said to you tonight"
 Good" l just crowed the word. and l think l clapped my hands; but right away l strengthened up and was very fine and dignified, for I saw Aunt Hat tie looking at me from across the room, as said:
 'Very good. then. You shall have the Chance.
 He turned and smiled a little, but he shook his head.
 Thank you, child; but don't think you know quite what you're promis- ing" he said.
 Yes, l do."
 Then l told him my idea. At first he said no, and it couldn't be, and he was very sure she wouldn't see him, even if he called. But I said she would if he would do exactly as I said. And l told him my plan. And after a time and quite lot of talk, he said he would agree to it.
 And this morning we did 1t.
 Al exactly ten o'clock he came up the steps of the house here, but he didn't ring the bell. I had told him not to do that, and I was on the watch for him. 1 knew that at ten o'clock Grandfather would be gone, Aunt Hat tie probably downtown shopping, and Lester out with his governess. I wasn't

 I told ner then how l thought he did care a little about having me there. and that knew he was going to miss me. And l told her why-what he'd said that morning in the junction about sppreciating love, and not miss ing things or people until you didn't have them: and how he'd learned his lesson. and all that.

And she said some beautiful things about making other people happy. instead of looking to ourselves all the time. just as she had talked once. before l went away. And 1 felt again that hushed. srained-wip- dow. soft-music. everybody-kneeling kind of a way: and 1 was SO happy And il lasted all the rest of thai eve ming till I went to sleep.

so sure of Mother, but I knew it was Saturday, and I believed I could man. age somehow to keep her here with me, so that everything would be ali right there.
 l did it, and five minutes before ten she was sitting quietly sewing in her own room. Then I went downstairs to watch for Father.
 He came just on the dot, and l let him in and took him into the library Then l went upstairs and told Mother there was some one downstairs who wanted to see her.
 And she said, how funny, and wasn't there any name, and where was the maid. But I didn't seem to hear. 1 had gone into my room in quite hur- ry, as if had forgotten something wanted to do these. But, of course, didn't do thing-except to make sure that she went downstairs to the li- brary.
 They're there now together. And he's been here whole hour already. Seems as if he ought to say something in that length of time!
 After 1 was sure Mother was down, l took out this, and began to write in it. And I've been writing ever since. But, oh, do so wonder what's going on down there. I'm so excited over ONE WEEK LATER

 At the reception l saw Father right away. but he didn't see me for a long time. He stood in corner and lots of folks came up and spoke to him and shook hands; and he bowed and smiled hut in between, when there wasn't anybody noticing, he looked so tired and bored. After time he stirred and changed his position, and l think he

 But she said. Nonsense" and Hush. hush," when asked her if she and Father couldn't fall in love all over again and get married. And she said not to get silly notions into my head. And she wasn't hit flushed and teary. as she had been the night before, and she didn't talk at all as she had then, either And it's been that way ever since. Things have gone along in just the usual humdrum way. and she's never been the same as she WAS that night l came.
 Something's little different-did happen yesterday. though. There's going to be another big astronomy meeting here in Boston this month. just as there was when Father found Mother years ago; and Grandfather brought home word that Father was going to be one of the chief speakers. And he told Mother he supposed shed go and hear him.
 Well. yes. I am thinking of going she said. just as calm and cool as could he. When does he speak, Fa- ther:"
 And when Aunt Hattie p0oh-pOohed, and asked how could she dr such q thing. Mother answered:
 Because Charles Anderson Is the father of my little girl. and think she should hear him speak. Therefore. Hattie, I intend to take her"
 And then she asked Grandfather again when Father was going to speak.
 I'm 50 excited. Only think of see ing my father up on a big platform with lot of big men, and hearing him speak. And he'll be the very smarteSt and handsomest one there, too. You see if he isn't,
