10 LESLIE PRESCOTT, CARE
OF THE SECRET DRAWER y

am putting tn is letter from
mother, dear little Marquise, with
my. other documents in this drawer
which you gave to me as a reposi-
tory Of my most secret and sacred
thoughts. From it you will see how
impossible it would be to bother
either mother or father with de-
lmands for money at this, time and
you, Of course, know already of
Jacks need.
am literally almost crazed with
anxiety and almost broken hearted
also over Jacks unfeeling conduct.
When | received this letter yester-
day from mother telling me that dad
was SO i'll, d 'dn't know what to do.

the Office and explain to him what

Hwhkn he returned was, "Did you
teleIhone your father?"
For answer l silently handed him
this letter of mothers. When he fin

row for my father or one word of
sympathy for me. Instead he said
"Of course you are gett' ng ready to
go home There is train leaving at
nine tonight. Have you got q
ticket?"
mo, dear, you see by the letter
that mother expressly told me not to
come. She said / would only be a
trouble and that could do nothing
for father"
~ wasn't thinking Of your father
now. It is not necessary. I know
that everything possible will be done
for your father and know that you
could do him no good if you were
there. Certainly you must know that
