roses, the big clock in the hall began
to chime in leisurely manner, and,
glancing at it, she saw that it was

of the events that would stamp them
selves on her heart and brain before
the clock chimed for another noon
day. But at the time she only re-

sheveled; she would put the roses In
the study, and fly upstairs TO brush
and change. Very often she carried
flowers into the study; the maids
we're not allowed to enter the room,
and the old man liked to find traces of
his daughter-in-law's affection waiting
there.
| Only Lizzie was in the study. She
was standing, pale and staring, by the
table, facing the door. She gave a
little cry, helpless and forlorn, as FL
len came in. Ellen's eyes flashed to
her limp fingers, which lay about the
beautiful shining body of revolver
on the table.
Before the, little cry, half-protest
and half-whine had died away, Ellen
had sprung at her, wrenched the ter
| rlble thing free, and flung it back into
it's place in the drawer, pushed her
own body against the drawer to close
1t, and caught Lizzie by the shoulders,
forcing the girl to face her While
they stood there, painting, the shadow
of death lifted itself slowly from the
room. The fire cracked, the sunlight,
pouring through green bottle-ends. fell
peacefully upon the soft tones of rugs
and leather chairs.
'Lizzie-my child" Ellen said. in a
sharp whisper. what were you do
Ing? What we're you going TO do?"
No need to answer. Lizzie attempt
ed none She hung her head; her
breath came on childish dry sobs.
Ellen's thoughts raced. There was
only one explanation of this Lizzie
was Sin trouble" Ellen had noticed
tear-stains about the pretty eyes more
| than once. She remembered now that
Lizzie's mother, village woman. had
come all the way to Wheatley Hills
one day, in a plumbers delivery van,
to hold mysterious but violent con-
versation with the girl, who had cried
bitterly. Afterward, she had ex-
planned to Ellen that ma wanted her
| to get married, and Ellen had wisely
observed that she was right not to
take that step until she felt ready
for 1t.
So that was 1t. This gentle, con-
scientious little woman had been car
rying that burden In her heart.
Ellen made the girl sit down on the
great seat by the fire, and sat down
herself beside her. She kept one
kindly hand on Lizzie's shoulder. and
fixed anxious eyes upon the tear-wet
sullen face. The older woman still
felt herself to be frightened and
shaken. but her tone was as quiet as
she could make 1t.
"LIzzie-my dearl That was a
wicked thing to do. Can't you tell
me about It'll You know Tommy loves
you, and love you. Tell me-"
The tone entirely melted poor Liz
zie, whose breast began to heave pain
fully. Ellen thrust her handkerchief
into the girls hand, and Lizzie sobbed
unrebuked. wrenching her whole body
In her grief, and making stifled
sounds like a person strangling.

of ostrich are as important as any

at their best in light colors and are
abundantly used, therefore, for trim
