CHAPTER 35

CHAPTER 35
 NIT was not until all the rest had
 gone to bed that Mort and I had a
 real talk. Then for hours we sat hand in hand while he told me of the long months of anguish over Lucille and the sin that had lost her to us. He said that many times he was tempted to end it all, that only thoughts of me and the children-who had suffered enough through him--kept him sane.
 After he had unburdened his heart I spoke of Lucille, how her last words were for him and expressed her love.
 And she knows and grieves to have you so sad," I told him. "She loved to have you gay, don't you remember?"
 "Yes, but Stella, how can one be gay when they feel a-murderer?"
 "You musn't feel that way any long CT. Who knows from what Lucille may have been saved-unhappiness, great trouble perhaps, and she couldn't bear trouble. You have Mona, Donald and me, to say nothing of Clifford, who is entitled to your companionship. You must live for us. Be gay and cheerful for us."
 "I'll try, Stella. Who told Mona to put off her wedding until came back ?"
 "No one," replied, surprised at the question. Tt was her own idea en- tirely. She would give no reason for putting George off at first, then when he pressed her she said she couldn't be married without you giving her away"
 God bless her! She never will know how her naive confession helped me. To realize that my daughter, whom I disgraced and to whom I brought sor- row, wanted me was like balm to my sore heart. Clifford has told me all about George, his unselfish love for Mona-many young men would not have considered marrying a girl whose father was a criminal-all about his business prospects, his sterling char acter. She will be happy, am sure."
 "Yes, she will be happy, Mort, and she Viii Eve here close to Clifford. George has rented a small house in town. Donald is very happy here too, Mort, happ.er than he ever was or could be ih New York. I have come tc the conclusion that young boys in the city are to be pitied.

 Raggedy Ann raced to the wood shed and tried to open the door so she could help the wood duck boat escape, but the door was locked tight. =,

 "Why, yes, I suppose it is :" agreed the girl who had been reading in the hammock and who now tumbled out and up, rather dazed.
 I'm so glad to find you home" pur- sued her caller. This is such a popu- lar family that it's lucky you aren't away somewhere on a lovely visit, or or something!"
 "Oh, we don't go more than ordinar- iIy," objected the girl in the hammock. i've been home all summer !"
 "Why, the very idea v said her caller. T just rather guess l shouldn't stay home and let George have all the good times"
 "George?" echoed her hostess. Why George hasn't been away either-he' been working awfully hard all summer long!'
 "Really:" asked her caller, with sud denly raised brows. "I haven't seen him for some time, so l supposed he was away. The last time saw him he spoke of being sent to South America and I thought possiblX-"

 smiled to myself as I urged hin to go to bed, to rest. I knew Clifford even better than he did. I knew that interest. that he never would consent to his making new start.
 The gray light of early morning was creeping in at the windows when wt sought repose. But it was a happier Mort, q more reconciled father than he had been when we began to talk And he knew that no ma atter' what he had done, how grievously he had sinned we all loved him, held him forever in our hearts.

 "Of course it is," Mona broke in "but don't think, young man, that you are going to monopolize him. I'm the important member of this family for a few days"-she blushed adorably-"and I want dad to see my rousseau and to spend some of his time with me-"
 "I see. Mort, that my nose is out of joint" Clifford said whimsically.
 Not on your life, Uncle Clifford n' and Donald threw his arm over his un- cle's shoulder before he took his seat at table. You and I are pals. but a fellow has to tell his dad things"
 Of course, Donald, tell him every thing. But don't forget we are pals for always-as long as I live"
 You bet won't!"
 Is it any wonder that Mort bright ened under the circumstances, that some of his old loving look returned to his worn face? How wonderfully the chil- dren had risen to the occasion, how de. termined they were to help!
 In the next few days I noticed that Clifford looked depressed, try as he would to hide it. wondered, fearing the business was not going to suit him or that he was not feeling well. He as. was so busy with preparations for Mona's wedding that let it go at that
 Georges manner when with Mort left nothing to be desired. He talked frankly of business, his prospects, and listened with respect to Mort's opin- ions, thus making me more fond of him than ever. Surely happy days were in store for us all

 First of all, there are some tendencies in the male sex that you would be glad to see your daughter initiate, such as, fer instance, punctuality, direct. .to-the- point-ness, frankness, and the like; al though don't for a minute mean to say that all men have these qualities, and all women haven't.
 But there are some qualities which are admired in men that only abnormal girls wish to adopt, and yet there are more and more girls aping those very characteristics. And there are other traits, good in themselves, which this same type of girl carries to excess.
 You know the type; but what's the matter with them?

Bedrooms should be well ventilat- ed. If an open window makes too much of draft on the bed, fit board six or eight inches high and just the width of the window below the lower sash. This gives constant exchange of air between the two sashes, slightly warming the air as it passes in.
