 Kate looked at the trunk. She won dered if Alice would betray anything when she entered the room and saw it. Would she recognize it? Had it ever meant anything to her?
 Kate Wards hand trembled slightly as she adjusted the frilled dimity cur tains at the window of her guest chamber. Then she went down stairs and attempted to still the f1uttering within her by talking to Justin and the dog, Monk, until train time neared.
 Am I foolish, father" she asked of Justin, to want to clear up some- thing concerning one who is already gone? One of whom I can ask no apology and expect no retribution. no no matter what I must find is the truth ?"
 Justin Parsons smiled
 You wouldn't be human, my dear, if you did not try to understand the unexplained.
 But" he continued, regardless of what you at length find is true, you would ask no apology, not even if he were living. Don't you know, Katie girl, that love never asks an apolo- gy?
 And" Justin spoke slowly it ought not ask 5A explanation--k Kate"
 The words came to Kate with the force of blow. Her father had, in the last anlysis. criticized her. He felt she wasn't doing the fair thing in try ing to prove something she should not have been impelled to prove.
 But she brushed the thought aside She knew she never could be quite at peace until she was sure she had been the one woman in Dams life after their marriage. or that she had not been. And what if she found that she had not? What then? After all, she never had thought of that as possibility. Is it better to be in doubt about loved one than to know an un- pleasant truth, she wondered.
